COUPLE REACTS TO IU 'Shh.. (Feat. HYEIN, 조원선 & Special Narr. 패티김)' MV 

We’re having an IU stream this Sunday (2/25) @ 11:30am EST! Make sure to head over to our Twitch and drop a follow so you don’t miss the stream! twitch.tv/kessandhan

The first verse is sang by IU. The second verse is sang by Hyein of NewJeans and the 3rd verse is sang by Joe, WonJun. The narration at the end was the legendary Patti Kim who has since retired and lives in the US. She wanted to have 3 generations of women on this video. Hyein who is in her teens, IU who just entered her 30's, and Joe, Wonjun is in her 50's. Genius!!! She is really something isn't she..Tang Wei the brilliant Chinese film star and really, really good decided to do her first MV because she loves IU.

IU said “Shh.' contains the voices of female vocalists from each generation. The lyrics are about important women in our lives. I'm singing about my mom, HYEIN is singing about her first friend. WONSUN JOE sings about the complicated emotions towards one's role model. It's a song about women sharing their complicated emotions that can't be summarized simply as either love, friendship, obsession or something else.” Plus, the participating singers, directors, actors, and narrators are all women. Although (maybe) the main story is about a mother and daughter, because that’s the first and the most important relationship between women and it seems like IU was first inspired by mother-daughter relationship, It’s not only about that, It’s about the diverse and complex relationships between different women and the respect we have for them. The song is about female solidarity through generations that all women can relate to!!!

Hyein born 2008 IU born 1993 Wonsun Joe born 1972 Patti Kim born 1938 IU + Hyein + Wonsun Joe + Patti Kim (4 Generations) Just WOW 😮

In the lyrics "it's not about F not about L", the letter F and L represent Female and Lady. And these letter also can represent Friendship and Love between mom and daughter. Then at the end of the song, the lyrics become "it's all about F all about L" In my opinion, this whole song is dedicated to all the women around the world who are basically daughters and mothers at the same time. If you look closer, there says "MOBIUS STRIP SONG OF MOTHER SUBCONSCIOUSNESS". Here you can notice that Shh.. kinda sounds like "she(female, lady)" and also sounds like "shh" when mothers try to comfort her crying baby. You think that you fully know about your mom. You are her best friend. But on the other hand, you don't really know about your mom. You don't know how beautiful she was when she was in your age. You don't know the passion she had when she was in your age. In the movie Tangwei went back to past to meet her mom. There IU(mother) looks amazing. Tangwei wants to hide her away. She wants to lock her beauty, youth, memory in her mind. And IU wants to do it too. This mother daughter story is beautiful.

지은. 그거 알아요 촬영하면서 느낀 두 번의 감동적인 순간을 지은한테 말해주고 싶었어요. 촬영 때 감독님이 저한테 디렉팅 하실때 아이유가 쓴 '그녀와 눈동자가 닮은 그녀의 엄마' 라는 가사를 들은 순간 마음 속에서 어떤 울림 이 있었어요. 그동안 스스로 한번도 생각해 보지 못 했던 것이었어요. 아이가 태어나고 엄마가 되면서부 터 엄마들은 항상 내 아이의 눈이 나와 정말 닮았는 지 생각해도 내가 나의 엄마와 닮은 데가 있는지에 대해서는 전혀 생각해 보지 않았던 것 같아요. 그래 서 그 순간 우리 엄마의 얼굴과 내 얼굴을 맞붙여 거 울 앞에서 찬찬히 엄마의 얼굴을 들여다보거나 함께 사진을 찍어 오래오래 자세히 보고 싶다는 마음이 너 무나도 간절히 들었어요. 오늘 마침 섣달 그믐이라 좀 있으면 엄마를 만나게 될거예요. 그래서 그 일을 꼭 하고 싶어요. 그리고 또 하나, 이 뮤직비디오를 찍기 전에 당신이 나의 엄마 연기할 것 이라는 잘 알고는 있었지만 촬 영 스튜디오에 들어서서 당신과 만나면서도 솔직히 상상하기 어려웠거든요. 그런데 촬영이 시작되고 당 신은 아주 오랫동안 그 나무 바닥 위에서 똑같은 한가지 포즈로, 조명과 연기 속에서 조용하고 침착하게 그 자리를 지켰죠. 그렇게 초현실적이고 아름다운 촬 영을 이어가던 순간 내게로 어떤 장면이 홀연히 떠올 랐어요. 한번도 상상해본 적 없는 젊은 시절의 엄마 가 바로 내 옆에 있다는 느낌. 우리 엄마도 그렇게 호 리호리한 몸매와 매끄러운 피부에 활기차고 영민한 눈매였다는 것을요. 우리 엄마는 젊은 시절 중국 오 페라 배우였어요. 하지만 내 기억 속에는 엄마의 옛 날 사진과 가끔 아빠가 묘사해주던 엄마의 모습이 뒤 섞인 완성되지 않은 그림 같았어요. 아빠가 들려주는 이야기 속의 젊은엄마는 중국 오페라 무대위에서 빛 이 나는 프리마돈나이자, 박수 갈채 속의 히로인이었 다고 했죠. 마치 그때 내 눈 앞에 앉아 있던 지은 처 럼요. 그 생각이 든 순간 정말 울컥했답니다. 지은, 내게 이런 아름다운 기억을 만들어줘서 고마워 요. 오늘은 섣달 그믐이고 난 비록 지은과 멀리 떨어 져 있는 베이징에 있지만 당신의 행복과 건강을 빌게 요. 앞으로도 당신의 좋은 노래를 많이많이 기대할, 저는 당신의 팬인 탕웨이입니다. 탕웨이가 뮤비 촬영이 끝난 후 아이유에게 쓴 편지

The other feature is Joe Won Sun and the special narration is by Patti Kim. 51 and 85 respectively. Patti Kim is a retired super OG from the 60's. For me, this is song of the year. I don't know how you can top a song with this composition, those features, and that video. IU delivers a hundredfold as usual.

IU shared a letter that Tang Wei wrote to her after filming talking about her experience, and everything mentioned in the letter makes it very blatant that the relationship in the MV is about a mother and daughter (Tang Wei mentions key memories of her childhood and her relationship with her own mother, for instance). But I will say that the story in the MV is more than just mother-daughter, since there are two sides to the story and that part is only from Tang Wei's POV. IU's POV in the second verse is about a 'friendship'. And in that case, a GL angle is very plausible. Theory: In the PAST, She placed those she loved in there (so they can be with her forever) - her mother and her friend. In the PRESENT, she spots IU, who looks very much like her mother, when she was younger. Before seeing IU, she had early spotted someone who looked like her friend, whom she (assumed that she knocked out) placed in the boot. She would have place IU in the boot too except IU boldly approached her first. It can be assumed the woman in the boot will be placed down there too. But IU will be her mother figure in the present and most probably live together, with IU keeping her secret...Shh A dark theme indeed. Love the story line. Want a darker theme: Consider she has been driving around looking out for people that resembles her mother and her friend. If this isn't her first drive, then how many people has she "collected" in there? IU delivers another MV movie!❤ IU has really gone all out for her fans: 4 MVs from 5 songs - 1 Fantasy, 1 Fun, 1 Dark and 1 Apocalyptic. Uniquely IU indeed. Respect much! .👍🏻❤👏👏

It‘s a story between a mother and daughter. The daughter reunits with her mother in her younger days.

the mv is basically that one tiktok saying "as a woman, i have so much empathy for my mother, but as a daughter i have so much anger" 🤣🤣 maybe IU being Tang Wei's mom did something. left her early or inflicted some trauma. that's why Tang Wei hid her.. out of love. they hid each other i think. you see IU was hidden in warm, cozy space, with her daughter. While IU, who also hid Tang Wei, in a trunk, cold, and alone. "Here's to those women who remains to be an enigma, forever etched somewhere in my time" our mothers! The two at the end shows another story, of a mother and daughter. also they are showing generational pictures of mothers and daughters, because it becames a loop (if the daughter decides to have a family, that is) because every mother was also a daughter. I suck at explaining but yeah that's my understanding on the MV 😆 edit: additionally i think the way IU hid Tang Wei, she thought it was out of love as well, though for Tang Wei (as a daughter) it was not translated well and she felt may isolation or suffocation something like that.

In fact, Tang Wei has been active in Korean movies for many years since she married a Korean director and had a baby. Tang Wei also said that she was a fan of IU and delivered a handwritten letter about her feelings for IU.

Also loved the choice of featuring different woman from different generations in a song about mother/daughter relationship

Wow, you both are so great interpreted the song. Mostly, daughters can relate to this song. Mother and daughter relationship is always complicated. But at the end we'll know and understood our mother when we grow up. IU is always amazing with her work. This 4 generation of Women is so beautiful combo. Thank you for make IU's songs reaction video ❤

I'm think F is friendship L is love. I think Sh.. may be what the daughter was told when she asked about her mother. In a few months someone will have worked it out, probably IU will tell us more

IU has taken my heart since love wins all she's amazing this album is insane

MV description translated: This is not a simple friendship story. It is not a simple love story either. There was something more complicated between her and me. Names that win me over every time. Names that never go out of style in my mind. who guided me to where I am now, The names that somehow make up me, To those women who are special and complex for a long time.

if we linked it to iu's personal story, how she raised by granma in poor condition at early age bc financial issue i assume at that time how she feels abandoned, feel rage & hatred as portrayed by tangwei but in the end she acknowledge her mom did try her best. At the end of the mv we return to the past of IU's mother and grandmother, since the relationships of mothers and daughters are a historically repeated loop. indicated at their resemblance, not only physically but also mental state. how the mother saw the daughter and could tell she was feeling exactly like she were feeling towards her mother, the intense emotion that full of various emotions. its a loop Her name is #Shh... In SK's context, a mum immediately 'loses' her name once her child is born. She wld b known as xxx's omma. Also, it's v common for a young child to think their mum's name is Mummy. Will a mother's name be forgotten? shh = she hid her(?) its not abt f (friendship) is not about l (love) we got smtg else = mother daughter bond that way beyond that (but its also all abt friendship & love actually) iu (s) = she (as the subject of the story aka mom) tangwei (h) = her (as the object aka daughter) Tang wei :playing as the daughter shows how we can carry painful words/experiences caused by our moms until we're older. Later on in life,esp when we became mothers ourselves, realizing that they only did or said those just out of love . #IU"Shh..." is about relationships between women, between mothers and daughters. Women who remain enigmas. A mother was also once a daughter. A cycle that continues around the world. Her name is "Shh.." since we can replace it with any woman's name. "Shh..." is poetry ❤️

Tang Wei is a phenomenal actress. "Decision to leave" is one of the best korean movie since "parasite". It got awarded in many international festivals and cinema award ceremonies (Tang Wei got 3 "best actress" awards for her role in this movie). She is chinese but she married the korean film director Kim Tae-yong so she is quite active in the korean film industry. For those who like costume cdramas and palace stories, she was very good in "ming dynasty".

Props to you! I really enjoyed your reactions. You girls definitely understood the meaning of the song/MV better than me on the first listen/watch. Also I'm really looking forward to the IU stream this Saturday. Can't wait for you two to dive and look more into IU. She is a genius.

I really like IU's deep thinking. You found IU, and I found you:) Subscribed! Thank you for putting the honest efforts to understand the MV and song.

Thank you for the reaction! I really enjoyed your theories and think they make sense (far more detailed than anything I came up with before watching your video). Perhaps another interesting part of the mother-daughter dynamic is that the 3 singers are all quite far apart in age: Joe Won Sun in her fifties, IU in her thirties and Hyein in her teens. (And Patti Kim who does the narration in the end in her eighties and Tang Wei in her forties) It's been a long time since we got an IU comeback, but woooow what a comeback this is! She certainly makes up for the wait. I can already tell that MV of the year will be IU vs IU

My guess is IU got introduced to Tang Wei in 2022 when their respective films are invited to compete in Cannes Film Festival. IU with "Broker" and Tang Wei with "Decision to Leave". They both are spectacular actresses. So, I know that the MV gonna be on another level when it said that it starring Tang Wei.

So the words that you noticed but couldn't read were the words "Mobius Strip". The Mobius Strip is a one-sided surface that can be constructed by affixing the ends of a rectangular strip after first having given one of the ends a one-half twist. So it's almost like a twisted circle. The Mobius Strip brings forth the idea of infinity / endless and "Losing Control", and that no matter wherever one goes, whichever direction--a single loop on this Mobius Strip will bring you to the SAME starting point, just COMPLETELY INVERSE in location (or upside down). This falls in line with the idea of a love hate relationship between a mother and daughter (which is what H (Portrayed by Tang Wei) and S (Portrayed by IU) are). In each mother daughter relationship, we have things that we want to bury and forget about our parents, but likewise, we EMULATE them as well. Tang Wei's character goes through the whole process of being in denial and avoidant about the idea of her own mother (IU),, hence why the idea of the basement in red--but as she reaches the age that her mother once was, she starts to SEE mirror images of herself being like her mother, and that's what jars her. This mirror image or similiarity between her and her mother opens up a whole box that she tried to hide away, going back to look at the old photos, reminiscing about her mother after a long time. Like Tang Wei's character, IU's character echos the same sentiment. In her other half of the MV (after Hyein's section), the narration goes : "She shouldn't be here too." and "Truth is, I saw her first." Like Tang Wei's character, IU's character had gone through the same thing--she saw her own mother in herself as she reached the age of what her mother was (hence why the roles reverse, Tang Wei's character is IU's mother this time, getting buried in a car trunk and teasing IU opposite with a smile). And like her daughter, IU's character goes through the same thing, burying the bitter parts of her own mother daughter relationship to time, and realizing as she grows up that she's LIKE her mother as well. That's why at the very end of the song and the narration, the lyrics go: Here, I have an old tale. Known by everyone and no one at the same time. This is in reference to other mother daughter relationships. We KNOW the story already--there are many mother daughter relationships we see in lives, whether it be around us or with us, but we don't KNOW the exact tale of it, which is why its an old tale "Known by everyone and no one at the same time", because each mother daughter relationship is different, even if the ESSENCE of it stays the same: and that is we have things we love and hate about our parents, but as we grow, no matter how much we want or wish to avoid them, we end up bringing parts of our parents, emulating them in certain forms and ways. It also makes a LOT of sense why IU has Hyein singing the middle part (which is how a daughter sees her mother), and why she has so many features in here, you have FOUR different generations of vocalists in this song, from IU who is in her late 20s early 30s, Hyein who is in her teens, and Joe Wonsun being in her 50s, Tang Wei in her her 40s and finally Patti Kim (the narrator at the end) who's 85 years old. It's a generation of women growing up to be who they are, and who they are in their children's eyes, who they see their mothers like, and finally understanding the fact that they're all similar to each other because as mother and daughter they emulate their parents.

Hyein Ate 🔥🔥

Mobius is an infinity loop consisting of only one side. The mother and daughter are from a different parallel timeline on this loop. To try and stop their lives from repeating, they hid the other person. The person they are seeing is from a different timeline.

Just subscribed your channel since you will react more for IU and you tow ladies been very cute and appreciate how awesome IU is! You two will love IU even more as you get to know her more, she is an angel inside and out and such a genuine human being 💜💙

You guys have a really good analysis about the mv. . yes it's about the complicated relationship between mother and daughter..

Hyein vokal❤

I really enjoy how you interpret and talk about the message of the MV :)

2:27 is where hyein (newjeans) starts singing, she’s only 15 and so so talented, her voice suited this song so much

I love IU.she is so talent

In Tang Wei's letter to IU, it was said that through the making of this music video and the line from the song, she wondered if her eyes were really like her mother's and she really wanted to check it out. She also said that she thought about how she imagined her mom in her younger years. And she realized that this image is not clear, because she was not part of her life then and she only knows it from her father's words and photos. On the set she imagined that she met her in her younger years and suddenly realized that her mother was just like her - young, beautiful and shining on stage. I think both the song and the video express that the relationship between mom and daughter is a special bond. Something beyond friendship and beyond love. Something special. One thing continues the other. When you're a kid you're sometimes unable to understand why mom acts a certain way. You know and see mom from one side. But when you grow up, you understand her better. Because you start to see the world from her perspective. And this story repeats itself again only with another child and another mom. A amazing song and music film on the theme of the connection of women in the family and their sometimes difficult relationships on the way to understanding each other.

Tang wei will always have love for her mother even tho she might not the best one, that’s why she hid her “out of love” while iu hid her in that cold and lonely place. Maybe that’s why when she sees where she’s been hidden she felt bad and apologetic towards her daughter.

IU’s pen never disappoints like she’s really a genius lyricist like Her name is Shh... In SK's context, a mum immediately 'loses' her name once her child is born. She wld b known as xxx's omma. Also, it's v common for a young child to think their mum's name is Mummy. Will a mother's name be forgotten?

Album introduction for Shh.. translation by IUtsc. ‘It’s not just a friendship. It’s not just a love story. There was something more complicated between her and me.’ Names that beat me and win every time. Names that are timeless in my heart. Names that guided me to become who I am today. Names that form who I am somewhere inside me. To the ladies who will be special and complicated for a long time.'

First! I love seeing your guys reactions :3

really like your reaction to this song, this is definitely a special song for all women

I have goose bumps when I saw the car standing in front of the shop maned "Möbius strip'

Yes, very nice reaction ! Thank you.

Friends... can a mother and daughter also be friends? I think it is possible. First love, first world, a mother is that kind of person to a fetus. I see this song as a tribute to her mother and to all mothers and daughters in the world.

This song reminds me of an old song, Portishead’s Glory Box, albeit a bit faster. Love it!

I think the shop sign is the clue that its an ongoing loop. Anything hidden is a memory/subconscious but always leaves a clue (dress tail caught outside trap door and car boot) S is IU as the mother of Tang Wei (H). H is Tang wei as the daughter who has hidden memories of the mother but finds that IU (S) looks like the mum. Next scene, H looks like the friend ( another H because they look alike) of IU (S) who has hidden memories of her friend. So SHH.. is the song title because on going loop as seen from the end when cycle starts again with ladies in blue. IU got 4 generations of good korean singers into the MV. I think it rep that one generation make the way for the generation that comes, like mother/women make the way for daughters/women and they are all connected in a loop, generation after generation. Sharing My thots. Love an IU MV, reads like a good detective story.

Immaculate❤❤❤

Is Hyein in video too? IU and Hyein vocal combination ❤❤. Can't wait to see IU in LA this August ❤

If you want to know about Joe. She is the member of band which name is Rollercoaster. Search for this music “bye bye” If you are interested.

I am ready to the day IU becomes because I like those kind of emotional things 😂

IU is making My brain hurt because I don't know what's happening so please help me understand more about the music video and story

The ellipsis in line with the mobius strip concept

No but you honestly have to see the live performance of Shh.. 😭

here's my interpretation. The song is sang by 4 ladies with diff age group. So each section sang diff feelings for each age category. For teen, mother is seen as a nightmare, when you grew older, you understand your mother POV a little bit more better

hyein is just tooo goood!!!!!!!

It has so deep meaning for the songs and lyrics. The meaning of F is Friend, and L is Love. The lyrics said ‘it’s not about F and L’, therefore it’s not about Friend and Love story. I think it’s like a story that faces me through the past, the present, and the future as women.😂

❤iu

🎉🎉

Shh stands for she hid her

L for love F for friendship.. so this song related to me abt my late mother share the same eyes with me but i cant rembered coz my mom passed away when i so small.. until Now i have to accept everything abt the comparison

Really enjoy your reactions. I also love the song - and recognize the video as beautiful…though really don’t know how to interpret the message. My sense is that this is all happening in the daughter’s subconscious but could be completely wrong

the actress, Tang Wei, is Somebody. Go check her out.

Basically its a song about complicated relationship between a mother (iu) and daughter(tangwei). In the lyrics "its not about f(friend ship)" . "its not about L(love)" Its more complicated. The song shows the resentment of a daughter to their mother, while in a mother pov she doing it out of love. And at the end of the mv the daughter who now grow up start to understand her mother more. Btw, the 4 generation of women iu chose might simbolize how usually mother and daughter relationship have going through lot of generational 'trauma'/complicated relationship.

In the PAST, She placed those she loved in there (so they can be with her forever) - her mother and her friend. In the PRESENT, she spots IU, who looks very much like her mother. Before seeing IU, she had early spotted someone who looked like her friend, whom she (assumed that she knocked out) placed in the boot. She would have place IU in the boot too except IU boldly approached her first and doesn't seem afraid, even after IU found out about what's down the trapdoor. It can be assumed the woman in the boot will be placed down there too. But she accepts IU as her mother figure in the present and they will live together, as mother and daughter, with IU keeping her secret...Shh A dark theme indeed. Love the story line. Want a darker theme? Consider she had been driving around looking out for people that resembles her mother and her friend. If this wasn't her first drive, then how many people has she "collected" down there? IU delivers another MV movie!❤ IU has really gone all out for her fans: 4 MVs from 5 songs - 1 Fantasy, 1 Fun, 1 Dark and 1 Apocalyptic. Uniquely IU indeed. Respect much!

F IS FRIENDSHIP L IS LOVE is what i got

I am not entirely sure of the meaning of this MV and song but I love the vibes!

You are on a quite right track. But it also is about songs and songs, singers and fans.

And not to mention the 4 generations of women represented here; Hyein in her mid teens, IU in her 30s, Wonson Jo is in her 50s (I think) and Patti Kim is in her 80s (I think). Just adds something to the underlying narrative of history repeating itself.

H - er, S -he... IU's the mother of Tang-wei...

좋은 반응 감사 합니다

Listening to your great interpretation, I thought that maybe not only the daughter can understand better the mother, but both the mother and the daughter can recognize each other as "women", with emotions and feelings, and a life that go beyond the mother/daughter relationship...

그녀는 보면 눈물이 납니다,. 누가 옆에서 양파를 자르고 있나? ㅠㅠ 😢😢😢

THANKS FOR THE REACTION. IU IS QUEEN. SHE HAS VERY UNIC AND CREAMY ,Soft voice. Please react to IU more "Through the Night" or "Strawberry Moon" Please react to IU ❤❤❤I love you guys ❤❤❤

my bet is on generational trauma

I think Part IU : About her mother Part Hyein : about her friend Part Joe wonsun : about his role model

did anyone else pickup on IU wearing 2 different shoes?

the other feature is from the lead vocalist of a legendary Korean rock band, Roller Coaster. Her name is Joe Won Sun. I'm gonna go and give a listen to her songs

It literally ends with a möbius strip. mother daughter, daughter mother, top and bottom, up and down, inside out

S - she H - her Shh..

there is a reason that L stands for lover 😂

You guys should react to Newjeans Celebrity, its a cover but you guys would love their vocals in that one

I don't think they are supposed to be mother and daughter, though they could be. This song is about the bond shared between individuals who have experienced the love and loss of significant relationships. The "Shh" is representing the unspoken feelings that bind them together.

Somehow I read it as friendship, romance and mother-daughter all at once kind of thing even though everything else is masked under the mother-daughter dynamic. For example when the lighting on Tang Wei changes to blue it could signify a change in dynamic, or in the end before they hugged, there was lesbian vibes when IU tilted her head especially. ANYWAY-

What I understood is that IU is the mother's character, and she forgives her daughter in the end, I don't quite understand, did the daughter literally or metaphorically "kill" her mother? The music is very beautiful and the film is very beautiful!

Me gusta que no pusieron HYEIN de new jeans .

She . Her . Her = Shh

will y'all watch the le sserafim ep?

Please react to iu's song ( I Stan U)

react to (g)i-dle Revenge MV. It's a new one

Plssss😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢y.o.universe by vcha

뭔가 신비로우면서도, 이상야릇한 느낌이 가득한 고급스런 중후함이랄까. 취향저격 제대로 당했네요. 너무 좋아서 미치겠어요! ^^ 제 가장 큰 바램은, IU가 BLACK PINK나 BTS만큼, 세상에 더 잘 알려졌으면 하는 것입니다. 물론, 개인적으로 BLACK PINK도 좋아하긴 하지만, 해외에서 IU가 보다 자신의 실력에 걸맞는 명성을 얻었으면 하는 바램이 너무 크다 보니, 그게 가장 큰 아쉬움이네요.

well the story is about the love of two females-> lesbian

That dream mentioned in the song about two girls going up and down on a see-saw. That was a sex dream, right? IU seems to be struggling to admit to long-repressed feelings.

will y'all react to revenge by gidle??
