Fun Fact: The 'Celebrity' at the beginning of the video was written by IU with her left hand. I highly recommend pretty much anything IU has put out. She has a wide variety of styles, but her voice is always consistent and has been one of my favorites for many years
IU wrote this song for a friend of hers that was going thru some emotional issues. You should also check out the "Eight" which was produced by Suga and he features in the song. Most people feel IU was singing about and the girl and lizard in the video represented her two Kpop Idol friends, Sulli and Goo Hara, who both committed suicide. Very emotional song.
I’ll definitely be tuning in to her comeback.😅 Thanks so much for your suggestion! I’ve been listening to this song ever since I saw the video last night.💜
When you were talking about the phrase "a star painted with a left hand", i actually interpreted it in a different way. From my perspective, "a star painted with a left hand" meant a star that is imperfect (because it was drawn with a left hand). I know you probably wont read this but i just wanted to say it
😮 Thats a GREAT interpretation!!!👏🏼 Thats why I love music with such meaningful lyrics like IU, we all can perceive it in our own perspective to help us cope or relate to the song in our own ways. Thanks for sharing yours!💜
@@ogkpopstan Song intro. "I have a friend who has been treated as an odd person because of their eye-catching dress code, peculiar taste, variety of talents, a defense mechanism derived from shyness, and personality that has strong opinions on most things. I love my friend even more because of these characteristics, but they said that they had to live through more hatred for the same reasons. I started by writing down the words I wanted to say to my 'odd' friend, but as I wrote, I gradually realized that this was also my story. After completing the lyrics, I thought that it wasn't unnatural at all if I substituted anyone, not just me or my friend, as the main character. Everyone feels alienated at one point because they didn't meet the standards set by others. Including my friend, I want to speak to everyone who was born as strong but unique, that you are not an odd person, but that you are like a star." - IU
I interpret it as uniqueness. Because with your dominant hand, usually the stars you draw settle down into a somewhat consistent shape after some practice. But it's harder to control the non dominant hand to act the same way everytime (left hand). So the left handed stars are unique, but it doesn't make them any less beautiful
Man, I thought I was the only one who cried over this song despite it being made to be so bright and catchy. The lyrics just hit you and bam it's really touching especially when you've gone through rough shit in life. I 'm glad you're doing better. And hopefully, good days keep coming for you.
Dont you just love it when songs resonate more than you expect. It reminds of me of when I instantly became a "Once" after hearing the song "One in a Million" and reading the lyrics, because I was in a poor state of mind and it truly was something that helped snap or break me from that dark place. IU has many, many beautiful and deep songs like this as well as funny and quirky ones. Thanks for sharing some vulnerability as always, its not easy to share but it truly shows the true spectrum of emotions music has on us.
thanks for your story sharing :') oh yes you nailed it, thats practically Celebrity's message... I think the "weakness" of IU MV / song is .... its absolutely jam-packed w/ symbology and interpetations in lyrics and MV, plus her visual too. Normal ppl cant grasp all of them in one sit XD but uaenas (fans) will talk/ interpret them like an essay, peel it one by one. There's another "secret" of Celebrity : the connection to her other songs (by lyrics and MV), and pretty much in same positive vibes like your interpretations.
Being a Once, this is how I get to know your channel, watching you reacting to Twice and now IU.. just blown me away. You are very authentic and the reaction is pure, really enjoying it. Oh ya btw apart from loving Twice myself, IU got me real hard recently especially during the Celebrity comeback, her angelic voice just calmed whatever unhappiness away. Do check out her latest song Lilac and her dance practice for that song. Simply gorgeous
The song was initially written with a friend in mind and later became something about self-love too. Your reaction touched me, and meant something more as a friend struggles with something similar.
this is kinda off topic but ur so pretty 🥺. i have been watching your reactions for a while now and i really enjoy them! i really enjoyed your reaction to this, you're always so genuine. I hope this song continues to help you realize what a beautiful person you are! 🤎
I don't easily cry for much but IU always manages to make me tear up. She is really something special and writes a lot of her lyrics herself. I hope you react to her more in the future.
I'm glad you left your emotional moments in and shared a bit, that's a really cool thing to do. I can relate to, at least I think I can a bit, the dramatic effect seizures can have. I just suddenly started having them several years ago in my late twenties and still don't know why and I haven't been the same me since then. Even when I have been without them for a long while I struggle to celebrate that because the shadow of when they will start again is always looming. I really admire you for sharing and for finding ways to start new things in your life, I hope I get there someday soon.
Thank you for making reaction videos and i hope that these videos will help you. IU really makes us realize things with her music. She’s that artist who knows what she’s doing. That’s why I love her and her music.
Thank you for being so brave and being so open with your emotions and your journey. This reaction resonated with me in so many ways and made me see this song in a different light (despite having listened and watched it several times before). Much love to you! 💜
IU has a lot of touching lyrics/song and she composed/wrote all of her songs..that's why she's a queen and i love her so much!!! 💛💛💛 I really love your reactions...be strong!!
first time to write comments in eng😊 I'm one of iu fans and I'm really happy to get to know that someone gets her messages so well not just watching visual things💛 I feel like you would have warm heart thank you for reviewing her song and I will support you with my heart from somewhere :)
Girl your not alone. I bawled my eyes out watching this. There’s another song that hit me the as well (maybe even more) and it’s called Eight also by IU. I can’t watch it without crying but it’s still a masterpiece
Appreciated the input about 'star written with the left hand'! Also, thina, don't be afraid to be more insightful or give your own opinions like how you did there 'cause you're best when you're giving awesome feedback like that. Reminded me of your commentary for hyunjin's around you
IU is brilliant. You can literally watch her growth as a person through her music. She has a lot of input in her music, writing a lot of her own lyrics as well as lyrics for others. She has incredibly diverse singing technique. And through everything else she's a wonderful human being. I honestly believe IU is the most genuine person in all of Kpop.
She wrote the song with a friend in mind that was scrutinized and targeted for their eccentricities and unique mannerisms, but in writing it felt that it was her story as well. Also anyone could be the main character in the song cause everyone at some point knows what it can feel like not to meet the standard of the "norm". Very beautiful song and I'm glad you didn't edit the parts out, Thank you.
Everything is perfect with IU, her films, her dramas, her lyrics, her compositions, her two RU-vid channels where she is so funny, and of course her incredible concerts finally available on dvd and BR !!!! (for the moment his last tour, but the sequel will come). Also "Hyori breakfast" on Netflix. It is THE treasure of South Korea, the only one that can make you cry with sadness and laughter. LILAC is coming, and it will certainly be the best album of the decade, a good way to get into your 30s.
thank you, always enjoy your raw reactions to some of my favorites, I dont know how IU does it either, she just comes along with a lyric just as i needed to hear exactly that lyric ... I am certain i am not hearing it they way she ment it, but it is still exactly what i needed to hear when i needed it and it would actually do me good ... I have even had older IU songs i had listen to many times before suddenly tell me what i needed to hear a year later ... Keep fighting the fight, Love and Light to you and yours always and in all ways
Thina it's good to hear that you are doing great. Thank you for sharing your private moment with us. I can also relate with you. Like you I was a dark place. I went through severe depression and yes we all have our personal battles to fight but we can come out stronger in the end. Just know that we love and support you. Remember, the sun shines every morning friend.
Just wanna say I love your reactions. It’s fun to see you have the same reactions I had to getting to know all the groups and finding out how awesome they are and falling in love with them. I also like how open you are about the tough times you’ve had and they inspire me and I hope others too. Congrats on the 1 year seizure-free and keep up the great vids! ❤️
Thnak you for expressing yourself! It's ok to share your feelings. I don't know IU songs that well either. This was the first song I listened to of hers and it also made me feel a little emotional. 😊
Thinaa is back! Love the new logo too❤ Since i just listen IU songs from a month ago, i'm happy will begin the other artist journey from your video🥰 Anyway, thank you for sharing with us❤
Hi! You should check out IU’s song “Eight” it’s about her turning 28 and dealing with the recent (at the time) suicides of her idol friends and it’s very deep. I think you’ll enjoy it very much and it’s one of my favorite songs!
IU heals everyone's heart with her songs and she is a great artist. She has a beautiful appearance and singing voice, but she is even more beautiful inside. In Korea, there are many young idols who choose to commit suicide because of the pressure from the media, haters and their surroundings. IU has actually been using music to heal the soul and prevent tragedy from repeating itself. If you revisit the songs of the past, you will find another layer of meaning. The following songs in different styles tell a change in the story. BBIBBI(2018) →Love Poem(2019) →Eight(2020)→Celebrity(2021)
I love how the new camera focused on your peace sign at the end of the video! I am glad that you reacted to IU now. We are always here to support you whatever happens!
I am so glad you finally watched IU. Like others before me, I also suggest watching ''Eight'' as it is a happy melody song with quite heavy meaning in lyrics. And do not cut out your sincere reactions, such as crying. We are all human and it's okay. For us, it is way more better and sincere to see your reaction as it is. May it even be ugly crying and all. As always, thank you for your awesome and sincere reactions, you are the first and only person that I support on Patreon as well and I regret none of it ;) May the force be with you!
IU really is a rare gem. She’s an amazing singer, writer, composer, and actress. Her music consistently tops the charts and she’s highly respected and beloved by all. Maybe that’s why she has not one, but two national titles throughout her career: “Nation’s Little Sister” and “Nation’s Sweetheart”. I can’t wait until IU’s comeback next week!
I subscribed to your channel when u reacted to stray kids since they're my ult group. now seeing you react to iu makes me so happy. you're gonna love her songs, her lyrics are just that mind blowing!
Sorry I'm just seeing this now, but I wish you the best with your own struggles. I know it's never easy and it's gonna suck a lot. Again wish you all the best, but as of when I saw this you have over 100k subs so just know that there are more people out there that see you in your own right as a celebrity. Keep being awesome and I wish health and wealth to you and yours
She just sweet girl always writing sweet lyrics. She tell us "its okay if you not that perfect, you struggling its okay because crooked star painted which is you with left hand still beautiful.. you are your own celebrity" how can i am not in love with her. Even in Bbibbi she try to warn people not to invade or crossed the line she say it in sweet way which is iconic. Every of her music sound original not a mainstream melody or music kind of
Hey, it's your reaction, it's fine with me that you got emotional. You have had a rough time for a decade. That stuff doesn't just go away. I am so glad that you talk about mental health issues. You are most likely helping people with their problems (besides just me) because a fresh look at things can only help. Personally, I have always suffered from low self-esteem and that became huge self-doubt and I have been known to frequently self-sabotage. So, it's okay to get emotional over somebody you look up to when they give you positivity and want you to see yourself in a different light. Basically, it's okay to love yourself. And, you'll make it if you keep trying. This song can have emotional effects on people for lots of different reasons. Iu is awesome! Luv ya!
Please check out the Teaser for "Flu!" So excited for the whole album on the 25th. You've definitely got to check out her other albums and MVs she's amazing 💕 she has alot of songs that have this duality like Oblivate off her Modern Times album. Thanks you for your honest review! I think you'll find alot of beauty in her music 🎶💜
Thank you Thina for being open and vulnerable🙏 IU is S. Korea's daughter...The song was inspired about her close friend who lived a life that wasn't the norm (fashion choices, shy, etc...), the odd one out and she wanted to acknowledge her .. IU confirmed it's about her good friend, the late Sully (Former F/X member). Definitely her strength is ballads, here is a list of some, feel free to react (make sure you have tissues, as you will cry 😭). She is one of the best solo idols who really 'connects' with her lyrics and makes you 'feel' her music vs. just hear it. Here is a list: 1. Ending Scene 2. Through The Night 3. Lullaby
finally u react to the queen of kpop❤ the idol of kpop idols. shes a great artist❤ hope u react to her other MV's. all of her songs are so meaningful and always hit the melon charts! u wont regret it i promise! try reacting to BBI-BBI & Palette!😍😊
I hope you react to more IU stuff...her songs i can guarantee you will get a healing vibe...specially the one she wrote is relatable in real life. like in her song 23 it capture the feeling of the early twenties which is already adult but not yet one..her song 25 how she understood a bit of herself and more..i like a lot of kpop but my 2 favorite KPOP artist that i will pay to watch live it will be IU and Mamamoo....by the way i will recommend her live version more than her MV but you can check both. Enjoy!
Check her song "eight" it features suga. It is a very upbeat song but the lyrics and everything is very sad. Theories said that the song is about her friends who passed away whick is Jonghyun and Sulli.
my queen! i highly recommend listening to her songs it's woooortth it, a queen with soooo much talent. has iu journey started? asjskslsksjgajsj gfriend and iu journey omgshsjsksb
I alway interpreted the 'star drawn with your left hand' as something with flaws but nontheless beautiful and not something impossible. Maybe that's just me though.
She is an amazing actress (Hotel del Luna) But as a person she is strong, confident, intentional songwriter and some of her acceptance speeches send a message of importance about people, artists, fans and not so much "awards or sales".
Kindly checkout the episodes on IU's palette show, she already guest ITZY on her show and just recently SHINee. These are the links: IU w/ ITZY: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cFppUAKWM_E.html IU w/ SHINee: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2LnCaecCDd0.html Thanks, keep safe. :)
