I'm just copy pasting an explaination I saw under another video: The Cube represents society, it is chasing every individual who doesn't fit the standards of society. Here V is half blind, IU is deaf and mute. So they are running from oppression of society. The world is controled by these standards of perfection to the point that people in South Korea put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel unsecure or they wear hats when their hair is messy. The MV is a dystopian view of our society. While they are trying to hide in this abondonned place filled with the clothes of people who died because of this oppression, they find a camera that allows them to have an illusion of what their lives could be if they were "normal" by society's standards, it starts with their looks, they could see how they would have looked like, then what they would eat, then they start to feel the illusion a bit too much to the point they beautifully imagine that IU could sing and V could sing as well and she could listen to his voice, they could marry each other and just have fun and eat whatever they want because they wouldn't have to care about society or any other kind of oppression. However, as soon as they feel a little bit of confort and try to live their life, the Cube (society) finds them again and push them to retreat and flee again, but the Cube managed to find them again, they try to survive against it and try to fight it as hard as they can, but they cannot beat a stronger system, they just give up but at least they stayed together until the end. Even if they died at the end, they loved each other deeply, it shows that even if society is oppressive, people can love each other and they can find their soulmate even if they are not "normal or perfect" to the eyes of some many others. The pile of clothes is like from Spring Day, these people died because of injustice, but they deserved love, so the pile of clothes can look very gloomy and sad, but as in Spring Day MV if you don't forget them you can seem them happy and free where they are right now...
Thanks for your lovely reaction. IU’s character is deaf and Taehyung’s one eye is blind. That’s why she uses sign language when they’re eating. In the end she closes the good eye when the cube found them because she didn’t want him to see the inevitable happen to them. It just feels like you are watching a movie. Director Um Tae-hwa on the significance of the camcorder: “In the world of the camcorder, they look neat rather than messy like in reality, eat beautifully prepared delicious food and enjoy the happiness they could have only imagined while wearing shiny dresses and tuxedos”
The cube 'Nemo' represents the discrimination towards marginalized people (symbolized in IU being deaf and Taehyung being blind in one eye). They stayed together till the end with their love sustained. LOVE WINS ALL!
This one knocked you off the chair. Lol, meaning you forgot the world too for a few minutes. 💜 keeping it real works best... (If that's not a play on words, lol)
IU took care of V like an elder sister, so protective of him. Always hold his hand and went into an unknown place first. V’s behaviors are innocent and playful just sooo ‘childishly cute’. Even in the ‘wedding’ part, V’s facial expressions are just like a little boy. I think that’s why at the end when the ‘cube’ came to them, IU did not hesitate to stand in front of V and determined to fight. V probably tried to protect IU the first time. we could see how scared he was but still pull out all his strength and attack the ‘cube’. When they both realized there was no way to survive, IU came up with that V was ‘little’ and must be frightened, then she covered V’s one good eye with her hand gently to ease him. Such a sad, yet beautiful MV. Thank IU and V.❤❤❤
Yes it would be a great idea for you to go through IU songs even in your own time. She is having her 1st world tour and probably her last. You might like to go and watch her live after you checked out her discography.
I saw an article on Twitter saying that IU is deaf and tae is blind in one eye, both have been that way from birth. The cube is getting rid of people with " defects" and the camera is then imagine a world where they can be happy because they're "normal". 🥺🥺🥺 THIS GOTT ME CRYING
The MV and the song are both a Masterpiece. I knew the acting would be great especially since I would consider IU a top tier actress (she just hasn't done a ton of shows or movies yet!! Her acting is a big reason why Hotel Del Luna is my favorite Kdrama. In the beginning her look reminded me of My Mister which is a great, but depressing Kdrama that IU did.
I'm beefing with that stinking cube 😭 I checked your channel, and it looks like you didn't check Taehyung's MVs from his solo album. It'll be awesome if you get to react to them. He gave us 5 MVs in total
Now tell me where are the Avengers at this time? Anyone, Justice League, Venon, DeadPool, even Power Ranger or Anpanman will do but someone stop these things and leave these babies alone... hell!!! I'll never play Minecraft again... 😭😭😭
