IU holding the bat over he shoulder was the same pose as in he series 'Hotel Del Luna' where IU carried a shotgun into a political rally to shoot the politician.
This is IU...all her own., she wrote, produced and collaborated on the composition..no reference to anything. The song is about never stop growing and follow your ambitions. (greed and ambition sound the same in Korean) BTW, EDAM is IU's company.
But Ian still help with the MV we can recognize his style of editing and everything. He also did a behind the scenes video and we can see he did do something but only on the MV and editing side.
IU wrote and Produced all 4 the MV's of this comeback and co-composed the song Holssi. This song is Part 2 of the storyline started in Holssi (which means Dandylion seed) which is about her becoming a Dandylion seed and taking to the wind to fly high. A single seed (soloist) taking a different path. Leaving the safety, familiarity and comfort of her cage (the tweety bird reference). A very risk path, one that no Korean born and raised soloist has ever even tried, unless they were apart of a group that had succeed in the West and then went solo. And the lyrics in Holssi talk about going and winning. In Shopper the scene outside the theater we see Dandylion seeds floating about IU telling us that thus is a continuation of that story. There is more that ties then together and so many easter eggs to discover. But in Shopper the going to win is changed into Victory. The braids in IU hair coming out of the closet is a reference back to Holssi as well. Shopper is about dreaming big outrageous dreams and then going for them. IU says to be greedy in your pursuit of your dreams. Greedy not in the sense hurting others or at the expense of others but from being all you can be. Dreaming really big or trying to achieve things other consider outside your ability or place is considered being greedy. IU is saying never stop dreaming and achieving. The Roadside stand actor Jason Lee. IU imagery with the bat to anyone who has seen her kdrama Hotel Del Luna and seen the exact same imagery. So no to it being a reference to any American movie. All for MV's from the mini album are collabs. Starting with Love Wins All with V. Holssi with Tweety. Shopper with DPR. And Shh.. with actress Tang Wei, featured singer of New Jeans 16 year old Hyein. She was born the year IU debuted. The path IU is taking is part of her announced World Tour which includes for the 1st time 2 cities in Europe and 6 in the US.
Now I need Ian to collaborate with more kpop soloists/groups, cause his and IU's styles are blending perfectly, both are shining. he has such a creative brain ffuck
IU fandom name : Uaena. IU/Lee Ji-eun is a South Korean actress, singer, songwriter and record producer. She debuted in 2008 with her 1st EP or 1st Album "Lost and Found". IU is called "Nation's Little Sister". I love her music so much. She is one of my favorite solo artists. She is such a beauty ! I really adore her. She is THE BEST.
The MVs for IU's 'Love Wins All' and 'Shh..' from the same new album are actually crazier imo. 'Holssi' from the same album is a vibe so really recommend watching all of them
I think the world of V, since getting to know him through his appearance on IU's Palette, and livebhis voice. But I think it is highly disrespectful of the true creative genius been the song and the video, IU. You suggested that the number of views is solely due to V being in the video. There is no doubt that fact has helped the video. But IU is as a big a force in Korea as BTS. One small woman matching 7 members of BTS. IU is also an international award winning actress. She debuted in 2008 at thecage of 15. Last January Rolling Stone Magazine added her to their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. Becoming the first Korean to make the list. One last piece of info she holds the record in Korea for the most #1 hits, over 34, twice as many as anyother group or artist. I realize you may not know IU. If you did you would have expectations of being blown away by literally any thing she does. Regarding the video. V has loss use of his eye and IU has loss use of her voice (not her hearing as is shown in the video has she hears the Cubes outside and they both react at the same time inside). IU's lip ring is also showing that her voice is what has happened to her, and note that it disappears during all the fantasy scenes and in the wedding scene she is also holding a microphone and is singing. There is a reason why so much effort was placed on the fact that it is her voice that was injured and not her hearing. IU has been dealing with a hearing issue for a couple of years now. And she didn't want to create any sense or reason for any of her fans to think that she was saying that her hearingvwas getting worst. But it seems she failed in that effort. Because so many people keep saying she is deaf when a review of the video clearly shows she is not. And for some reason the use of sign language means to many people a hearing loss when being mute is as much a reason to learn and use sign language as being deaf. She is coming to the US as part of her World Tour. She is doing somethingvthat has never been done by a Korean soloist. That is to break into the US and the West. The only other Korean soloist who have had any success in the US are those who were 1st apart of a group that had toured the US and used that as a spring board to a solo career and having some success in the US. In fact the next 2 songs of her comeback deal with her devision to do this. Holssi and Shopper.
Hey way to disrespect IU. This is IU's mv, she invited DPR to direct the video, but make no mistake this is IU's mv. Too bad you spent all your attention on the wrong person. I'm sure it's no sweat off your balls, but you just lost a sub for not putting your focusing where it should have been, on IU.
