Eric Nam Explains 'Eight' by IU ft. SUGA | KPDB Ep. #55 Highlight 

DIVE Studios The way he describe the song sounds like the message in Suga’s song Shadow

1. Clearly she stated its about a lethargic and depressing situation in the society and she wish 'we' can be pain free its similar to when she made a speech about jonghyun death. Why she made that speech? And she didnt directly admit its about jonghyun but its obvious. Youre not IU fans thats why you didnt know that event? 2. Its illogical if you think she will admit this song is about sulli/jonghyun death it feels like she using their death and disrespectful, even heechul keep it in private that he took care of sulli cat and doesnt want public to know cause it people will gossiping about it. 3. Why theres a peach in her house in MV? and she write song about peach=sulli? 4. Why there's another girl flying with a dragon in 2D form and shes tearing up when they saw each other and parting? 5. Clearly this song is about losing someone and it hurts for her so whos the girl(and the lizard) that she lost recently? 6. Do you think losing her friends due to suicide doesnt mean anything to her? As an artist IU usually create song inspired from her lifes experience, her feelings, what she sees. 7. Why she cant say goodbye to the person left otherwise that person is dead? And in the video she and suga is in airplane heading towards real world and they cant reach each other and the girl and the ragon is flying like a ghost. "Our goodbye is like an emergency alert" Where they stuck in airplane and the lizard is struck by lightning outside and disappeared. And later flying outside. When her friends died shes far away on the concert and she had to travel back 8. "Are you happy now? Im the same, i lost everything, everything goes without saying goodbye i dont wanna love anything" the question "are you happy now?" Seems like shes talking about the person who left her because the song is about losing someone and it hurts for her 9. "forever we young" everybody knows and its been written everywhere as a reference that someone who die young will be forever young. IU 28 year pass their friends age even though they should grow older too. Its weird feeling realizing only you grow old. Thats one of the inspiration too. So they can only meet in memory.

More IU content plsss

Lol true

@@yesmaam3399 oh no u didn't

I see what you did there 😂

Alima []Àśàd[] Adiba I- did you just-

honestly....same

Key they are also same aged friends so it makes even more sense for Yoongi to feature on the song and collab with IU

So you are implying UI had listened to SUGA's works?

@@jennynim3203 she is the one contacting him so I guess it's pretty obvious. Yoongi has amazing work as a producer and a rapper so I can see why such a great artists like iu and heize ect. Would want to collaborate with him

Jenny Nim y are u asking that as if it’s such an impossible phenomenon hahahaha

Yeah cuz bts has talked about how they’ve achieved so much to the point where they don’t know what to do anymore and I’m so happy that the boys rn are just focusing on being happy and trying new things instead of simply worrying about ranking and numbers💗💗

Same... When I hear the first line I immediately think of JH. 😓

@@mariasag9208 I thought i was the only one that immediately thought of JH when hearing that "Are you happy now?" because in his last words he begged to let him go..so he could finally be happy.. After JH died i always thought to myself, well at least he is happy now..

@@mirelasemanjaku yeah and for me i immediately thought of sulli, since she couldn't be happy here. it breaks my heart, i was avoiding this song for days because of my sensitive heart:)

I really know your this feeling as you described. You have put it into word, well said and well explain. 👍 At first I question myself about this feeling, and after this song release and read many comment about it, i realize that's not only me, and i am not alone ...

I feel you 💜I don't know how to put this into words but I'll say this, I decided I will walk slowly with God for the rest of life just go with the flow putting everything in his name and be assured that I will be happy wherever and whatever I will have and achieve in life putting my faith and trust him❤️ I'm nothing without him and that he knows what is best for me💙🙏☺️✌️

ive treading my life a day at a time without clear view ahead. enjoying the time as it passes. but there were times when i cant help myself from feeling miserable by comparing myself with how much my high school and college friends have accomplished...

@@koalacruz787 stop comparing yourself with them you won't find happiness if you constantly compare yourself with others achievement and what they have in life do what makes you happy and satisfied in life💜afterall success is not something that you can see or count it's deep within you 💙

I am also an educator and have hopped from country to country and various states throughout my life, especially since my teenage years. Now I'm 38 and starting to wonder about these questions. I'm glad you started thinking about it earlier.

Erini J.S.I am proud of you, you really did great. I appreciate your efforts and you have to do that too. We will never be perfect but when we work hard , for sure we will find a result . My father is a lecturer and he is 50 and he love what he is doing, so I try to be like him . Since i was young , I have seen dad works for hours , sometimes we didn’t see him all the day , he came and saw us while we are sleeping. I do respect him a lot really a lot , l know how is that hard but please appreciate what you are doing . Finding you thinking in this way like “ am l a good example !?“ only thinking in this means that you are a good one. Keep going and being a lecturer means that you have a great message. I totally appreciate that. Keep going and be happy . Sorry for my English I am not native.

I am so proud of you. Maybe we're about same age but I'm going to start my first job these friday. I wish I could do better but I guess this is just too late for me.

It's so nice to hear someone say that they found strength in this song. I believe this type of comment is IU's highest form of achievement. Not topping the charts. Not the awards. Not making money (she can honestly retire at age 28). It's how the stories in her music can reach from her heart to yours.

Everyone has these thoughts from the moment you leave school and start working. I had them too. Like: Is this it? Am i going to do this routine for the rest of my life? Because since a kid to the time you get a job, you have goals that change at least every 4 years. But after you get to the destination..it's confusing. But don't worry! Life will give you plenty of opportunities to feel excitement and happiness. Don't stress about your path now. You can always take a new direction if you feel it right or if the time is right ;) Just enjoy where you are now. :)) PS: By the way, you had done great! To be a lecturer in UNI! Thumbs up girl! :))

idk you but please believe in yourself give more credit to yourself 😉😁

This is another explain that same to your thought. I also think the same. I got goosebum after watch it.

Jonghyun, as well.

IU never confirmed that, don't bring it up as if you know something it's her friend let her decide what to do with her grief, whether to put in a song or not, you're not her.

Just fan made rumors which doesn't respect her private feelings ? IU herself explained a few times and said the same things as Eric

Not just Sulli, but for Jonghyun and Hara as well :)

And it's bullshit. Let her decide what to feel about her friends it's none of y'alls business to assume just because they were public figures

bubblegum hun, its called theorys they arent saying shes actually dedicating it to them. Of course we would think eight is dedicated to Sulli and Jonghyun cause they were all close with each other. The way you respond is also disrespectful but you tell us we’re being disrespectful. No we are not. She said it herself, it is part of her age series and her story of what happened in the past year of her being 28. Aka last year and the tragedy’s

@@inkixio5295 still these are sensitive and her personal feelings and it's not our place to decide

bubblegum we aren’t saying that she should feel a certain way. A lot of us think that this video is dedicated to her friends that had passed away in the industry, and leave it at that.

Yeah! Me too. His voice is so attractive.

OH YES that episode. Hearing him going into a downward spiral on his eating habits during lockdown........ I laughed for a good minute fr

what episode was this lol

Yes!

I heard that's also one of the reasons suga decided to collab with IU because they're at the same age, and can relate to each other..

"Shadow" was a musical and lyrical masterpiece.

I think the correlation of Eric Nam's explanation and the theory that it could be made for Jonghyun, Sulli and Hara is that these three died in their late 20s. I think, IU and Yoongi is experiencing what Jonghyun and Sulli had experienced at that age.

@@noirinserenity Why only focus on one explanation? I think it's a combination of everything. It certainly is self-reflective and focuses on their situation and life, but especially with lines like "Goodbyes are like a catastrophe warning", I don't think it's fair to say that there's absolutely nothing referring to them, especially since Sulli was a very good friend of IU

@@annique9186 but did she tell you about that? Just because those three and iu are public figures you can't just assume stuff about her private feelings. It's disrespectful to all of them to assume stuff when she didn't even leave the meaning of the song vague. Let them rest please and let iu decide how to feel about her friends

the songs is like eric explanation, and looking at the mvs IU also indirectly involves of Sulli and Jonghyun too which we can predict that its them too..So everything is right......Goo Hara is she closed with IU too??

@@bubblegum7504 DKDKTV channel are Koreans and they made good and deep explaination of that song, being respectful, and presenting obvious references such as the salamender. I advice you and everyone to go check it :)

Right.. how does he do that? I'm way too serious.. I think a lot about deep things.. but i can't be goofy or have that often fun.

I am goofy who can be serious but I can't speak that deep lol

Be quiet don’t cry

(If you didn’t get the joke.... sorry for u)

@@Jasminekuwonu i just want some milk

Jimin's Lost Jams He lived in America for four years man and that why he’s here man!

Nicole Bueno same here I’m 23 ;)
