the beautiful sparkly lady is actually one of the five members, beomgyu! they gave him extensions/a wig to kind of make his gender unclear on purpose to fit the story :))
@@evantesseract737not probably, he is actually delighted that he posted pictures of himself in his Instagram with that outfit when people complimented “the girl” as pretty lol
To go deep into the story, the boys have been living through these experiences and failures over and over again. Each time they lose their memories and don't remember the promise they made or the real purpose of their journey. The sparkly Beomgyu in the MV is one version of Viken (his storyline character name) that failed to save his friends. In the story, he ends up sacrificing himself to save the current version of the five members in order to help them succeed where he failed in his own storyline. The way they defeat the dragon and save the world is by realizing their own individual powers and making their own individual sacrifices. Only once they acknowledge their own idenities, are they able to come together as one, keeping the promise they originally made by realizing that asking each other for help and asking MOA for help is not weakness, but strength. For me, this is basically what we saw in Chasing That Feeling and Deja Vu MV. They found their individuality, but struggled to remember the promise and remember what it was that kept them together. The childhood dreams and passions they had are comprimised by being an adult "monster" fixated on money (LO$ER) and they have to realize that they can both be adults and still keep childhood dreams and passions alive.
TXT has such interesting lore! their music videos are always incredibly cinematic, but this one is def one of their more stunning ones. i don't think i'll ever fully understand the story, but the concept of being stuck in this rose coloured fantasy world of youth, trying to run into the seemingly harsh real world of adulthood is clearly so well thought out and i always love hearing other people's interpretations of it
Aww to be honest it's easier to understand if you follow them during 0x1 lovesong cuz that's the time the star seekers came out and moa started to connect the storyline. There's also like a children's pop up book by txt abt the child that a horn grew up his head too! But rest assured all u need to do is just watch all the mv in orders (not just title, also b-sides cuz the lore is there) and read the webtoon. U could also watch the theory RU-vid channel cuz most of it explained there (there's this one that maybe titled as TXT lore)
10:45 It's stop motion! If you watch the behind the scenes of the m/v you'll see Taehyun saying something about having to sit there for hours because they kept adding flowers for each frame
I was curious if you thought them only having up to 1080 resolution was intentional to go with the nostalgic vibe. It is a little prince concept. This has to do with a promise they made each other, which was slipping away almost out of their grasp. Yeonjun said he cried 2 out of the 3 days they filmed the MV, so he really cried at the end. Taehyun said he was stuck in the same position for 40 minutes while they added flowers for his stop motion scene. Kai said he had a hard time on the MV but didn't get too far into it. Maybe the wire work or bridge scenes were the cause. Beomgyu had to do scenes with added hair to become that sparkly image they were trying to get a hold of. Soobin was in the back of a car with the funny clouds outside in the beginning, while Beomgyu was on the bus with the same clouds later.
The opening line about things being invisible to the eye is a reference to The Little Prince, which is a favorite book of mine that is very much a cultural touchstone in Korea. There's a fox in the story who begs the little prince to tame him but reminds him that if he does, he'll be responsible for him forever.... And one of the central themes of the book is that what is essential is invisible to the eye. The fox's friendship is a key moment. I'm sure their fox is more than just this - just like they reinterpreted Neverland before - but I'm still delighted to see it. I genuinely believe that this book is, all by itself, worth learning French to read in its original language. Dessine-moi un mouton! And it fits with TxT perfectly - it is, in many ways, a meditation on childhood, magic, grief, and loss. I love watching you dig into their videos 😁
I don't know why, but the way txt puts their songs together it like makes me cry, like they put it together so nicely its over times it kind of creates a path of like yes deja vu and somehow like possibly acts of kindness and just shows a story through every mv
16:40 the Deja Vu effect has gotten into you 😂i wonder if you have seen the behind the scene of the MV making. I'm really impressed by the effort that everyone has put into the MV :')

One of the main things that make me get excited whenever i see you posting a reaction to txt is that you always explain the story behind the mv. Even tho im a moa, I still understand nothing about the txt lore. So thank you so much for not just reacting but demonstrating the whole story! ❤
I waited since the day this MV dropped for your reaction because i know you will be CRAZY! and once again your reaction and analysis is really satisfying, entertaining and thoughtful thank you jordan! IMO This MV depicts their album title and story so well! The album titled: TOMORROW. And as taehyun said "something you cant see but important" : it's tomorrow. The fox name is TOMORROW and it represents tomorrow and also the past. The boys here having their identity crisis. The nostalgic/anemoia/deja vu concept is all reference to Japanase Movie "Your Name". And TXT's lore is basically about 5 of them as childhood bestfriends, but then they grew up, forgetting each other, and now they are alone, lonely, having quarter life crisis, trying to remember again who they really are, and what is their purpose in this world. You can see in the end of the MV, Yeonjun begging to the universe to bring back his youth (his friends who he actually dont remember) and almost S worded but then the "sparkling lady" aka Beomgyu saved him, hug him, and they are together again running in the field just like how they used to be. Because with the five of them, they can face tomorrow, together And almost all the lyrics in this song is a reference to their previous songs/story! So its really fun actually to analyze the story, the mv, and the lyrics ~
Hi Jordan and guys I actually have a theory. Well you see the " women " you were saying is actually beomgyu. It could be just me but have you all noticed that most of time beomgyu has less lines. Not that I am found of it but like actually. But I payed attention to the parts of lyrics beomgyu is singing. Most of them are like he is it saying to the members. Even in Loser lover mv. We see the 4 members with the girl but we never saw beomgyu having any interaction with any girl. So what if the tomorrow that the members are suppose to build together is beomgyu, but the members haven't notice. What you all think BTW I love your videos it help me learn so much stuff.
Love the video as always Jordan!! Always fun to see the M/Vs from s directors POV! As an active follower of txt lore, I would suggest watching their Nap of A Star video if you wanna know some more about the promise and what theyve forgotten, lots if visual references there too with the stop motion vibes 🤩
I was really waiting for this reaction. I love how you analyze the clips and providing professional insights as a video editor yourself. Thank you so much for reacting to TXT’s content, I enjoyed the this very much
I can't imagine how hard it was for him to hold himself to continue the MV without speak or explaining and just watch the whole thing fully without stopping! 😭
Idk if this is already being talked about, but to me the concept of this album resembles a lot the story of a very famous french book "le petit prince" (eng.: The little prince). For example the blonde hair and the crowns in the trailer and also the fox (I have a lot more refrences). And ofc the meaning of the story of the little prince and meaning of 'deja vu' by TXT. Either way, this mv is so beautiful
Personally I don’t find any romantic interpretation of the music video; the song can point that way, but I think Beomgyu (aka the sparkly “”lady”” lol) is a representation of their forgotten promise, which they’re searching for and reaching out for. I personally don’t think he represents desiring romance or a soulmate in this music video, even though the lyrics of the song can definitely be either platonic or romantic. But that’s just my interpretation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edit: I also think that this music video harkens back to the visual story in Nap of a Star. The 5 of them are together in their youth, go their separate ways, forget about their promise, and then reunite under the light of the star. Perhaps Beomgyu represents that star in this music video, trying to call out to them to remember the promise. The concept trailer even visually parallels Nap of a Star at the end, when the others surround Yeonjun and help him to his feet, all with a very choppy frame rate to simulate an old film. ~it’s about Friendship~
13:35 this part is sooooooo beautiful especially when the hand lets go then everyone stops. It’s like everything is chaos and your stressed and running, crying trying to figure out everything until it alls goes wrong and you have nothing left. So you stop hope and pray that you will be okay. Then at the end the person who loves you most (Beomgyu in this video) comforts you and makes everything okay.
TXT members : 1. 1:19, 1:33, 2:52 This is YEONJUN. 2. 4:50, 10:31, 10:32 This is SOOBIN (Leader). 3. 1:59, 3:01 This is HUENING KAI (Maknae). 4. 16:10 This is BEOMGYU. 5. 4:31, 11:28 This is TAEHYUN.
Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to TXT, 😂😂😂you must be hungry because the words you used were they are cooking, and then you said that they were delicious and you even throw in a burbs. 😂😂😂😂 so cutes love it.
Broooo since you like yu kwang goeng's directing you should watch the concept trailers he did with enhypen, they're shot so well and tell such an interesting story
I already loved the song but after seeing this analysis, it's just pure art. thank you so much for breaking it down! I really love your videos and your work 💗💗
"The significant other" "Potential future partner" "Looking for who i can be with" "Trying to get married" "Chasing the lady" "The glowing sparkling lady walked away, poor guy he missed out" "The golden goose" 😅 the way i giggled everytime poor Jordan 🤣
ooo I'm so glad you went over this video. I also thought the editing and visuals were amazing. It matches the vibe of the song PERFECTLY. It's such a good music video.
