One of the topics in Korean society these days is hate. Hate has always existed, but it has become a big problem, especially these days. Hate among politics, society, economy, generation, and gender is intensifying. Not only celebrities but also their fans are being hated. It's a song that says, "Let's overcome the age of hate with love." 'Cube' refers to discrimination against the main characters, and furthermore, various discriminations and oppression prevalent in our daily lives. The setting value of the screen on which the camcorder is taken is a world that was fine before it was ruined. The two are implied to be floating in the air on the last camcorder screen, meaning they can fly free from all kinds of oppression and pressure.
Yup absolutely!! Tae & IU both nailed it ❤LEGENDS 👑✨but i DON'T agree with that LWA story is abt disabled or minority ppl orApocalyptic , alien , zombie theorys interpretations takes & I also believe that it's NOT abt Tae and IU representing them both just as disable couple in a love story.... the MV has a defferent deeper meaning like Celebrites / artists like them in the entertainment industry judged by ppl/fans / haters abt their personal choices in life / love life IU ( her charecter is deaf or mute in the MV) representing ppl in love the ones who don't want to HEAR or TALK what the society /fans tell them wrong and right abt their personal life / Love life Taehyung (his character is partialy blind) representing True/pure LOVE = Love doesn't need to be perfect it just need to be TRUE or LOVE IS BLIND ( Tae showing almost every emotions of LOVE : Fear , cuteness , pure , tender , Joyful /playful , romance , togetherness . helplessness , bravery , Rage & at last > calmness = eternity of love......in 5 minute MV Dammnn!! Brilliant actor🤯😘👏👏 ) CUbe / Box : Judgemental society/fans / haters chasing after artist's personal life Their injured status : Reality of their personal life Camcorder / Joyful visuals : The freedom / happiness they rly want to feel in their life Pile of cloths : These ppl / Celebs died beacuse of HATRED from judgemental society Last part of the MV : Attacked by ' Cube ' Taehyung character ' true love ' leaning on her left side/ HEART...... IU cHaracter covering his ' Good ' eye = She covers her own wounded heart / love try to calm her pain ( look at Tae's calming facial expression ) = She will only take her true love with her even if she die....... ' LOVE WINS ALL '....😢.discribing that celebrIties are real ppl .. they also DESERVE all the freedom/ happiness to live their personal life how they want....like rest of the ppl in the world......
Apparently the Apocalyptic angle was Tae's own idea, so you will have to take the 'WHY?" up with him. I hope you will get to meet him at some point so you can ask him that yourself... :)
The pile of clothes near the beginning immediately made me think of the Holocaust - such piles of clothes, shoes, and other belongings were found at the death camps, and came to symbolize the lives that had been taken. So, major foreshadowing, yet the ending cut to the core anyway
You are correct: in this scenario, the pile of clothing is a direct reference to BTS’ ‘Spring Day’, where the garments represent those who are gone/ disappeared: The cube (6 perfect sides) & the figures in black hoods, also represent an attempt to obliterate the ‘imperfect’ - our boy & girl are (him) partially sighted, & (her) deaf & mute: The video is a triumph - it makes us ask questions, & hopefully/eventually more viewers will wake up to the symbolism… The ‘ordinary-ness’ of the photo booth scene - doing what young couples do, the only part of the action where they ‘pose’ - is where I collapse, emotionally: a memento - “us, on our wedding day’ - to keep…where? 🥹 Thank you for sharing - take care & be well! 🙏🏽💔🙏🏻
What a thoughtful reply! It made me ponder the massive size of the pile of clothing, and how many victims it might represent, as well as the absence of other living people. My take is that the cubes are targeting people as a whole, as we are all imperfect - our protagonists just display visible "imperfections".
연기처럼 사라진 그들이 간 곳이 여기보다 더 나은 곳이라면? 다름에 대한 차별과 혐오가 없는 곳 (자세히보면 사랑을 노래하는 그들에게 얼굴없는 관객들이 야유하고 있음) 웨딩드레스와 턱시도같은 사랑을 증명하는 진부한 격식이 필요없는 곳이라면 그들의 사랑이 이긴게 아닐까? 그러니 이 스토리는 새드엔딩이 아니라 열린결말
IU produced and did the lyrics. her mvs always have deeper meaning. There's a sig when they first come in to the place when they find the camcorder that reads " " RISE FOR ALL" ...think thats a social commentary for the oppressors and for state of world , esp. these days. Most missed that sign..cause IU and V are so captivating. lol IU can't speak and V cant see out one eye... cube is like hate/society projections.Maybe we have to start standing up for love and for others discriminated or oppressed? I feel IU and V have seen so much of how South Korea media, police and citizens can cause so much hate, pressure and judgement that people start to commit suicides at times. IU has known least 3 close idol young friends that exp this. Also recently, in headlines. Famous Actor from oscar winning movie "parasite" had recently passed due to all the pressure of media police, even though he was found negative in his drug tests. IU was main lead actress to him in a different show called. "My Mister". What an amazing message and masterpiece, truly deserves a Award in every category.

Hello Miss PiChi ! I'm sending greetings to you from Turkey. Your reactions were truly emotional and wonderful. I also really liked your comments about the clip and you are incredibly beautiful. I wish you too have a wonderful love one day. May everything be wonderful to your heart's content. Congratulations ! 🙏🌼🌺🙂❣
Cube is society oppression of those NOT PERFECT. Camera is what they see each other as "PERFECT". Not the past ( the background is current place). But perfect to each other. LOVE.
The people in the camera weren't so great, if you look carefully. So this mv is more a commentary about current times (as someone pointed out below) using a dystopian backdrop.
So excited to have found your channel, love your reaction to Tae and IU. Such a beautiful and emotional video featuring amazing acting and vocals that makes the experience so personal. I really do hope that Tae & IU do other projects together both film and music as they have great chemistry and when he was on her show their voices also blended so well. Also at the end it was pointed out by someone that he can hear what is coming but she can't, while she can see what is coming but she covers his good eye so he can't. Both cry at the same moment though and from the same left eye. Also the right side of his face seems to have burn scars so maybe he had encountered a cube before but got away at the last minute. This cube was relentless in its pursuit and even seemed to change size so it could come into the building. Earlier when it was flying overhead you could tell no way it could fit inside those hallways. I also noticed the cube waits for them to stop fighting and accept their fate. If you notice there are no other people so obviously no person is able to meet the criteria this cube holds that would allow someone to survive. The camcorder that kept showing a better reality, was giving us the viewer a happier version of the events. They both rise in the air together, their bodies still solid, while the reality is that they have been turned to ash. At the top of the camcorder right before it turns off you see ash particles in the air. I also loved how the clothes landed together on the pile. Again all of this symbolizing that even though they seemingly lost to the cube, it couldn't destroy their love for each other. They stayed together in life and death, so indeed their love did win. I can't get enough of this MV, the acting is Oscar level and combined with the award worthy vocals and lyrics it's both heartbreaking but also heartwarming that at least they went together.
Are you on someones channel telling them how they should react? if it didnt make you cry then dont judge others that do. you acting so entitled to other people emotions.
Wow. Maybe you should develop written standards for what is worthy of tears. And I'm not sure what you mean by "foreign RU-vidrs". Your comment is in English, for a South Korean video, which is being watched throughout much of the world. So who are the "foreigners"
I am so glad I do not know you personally. It is OBVIOUSLY 'enough' to make the reactor cry. It did that to SEVERAL reactors, in fact so YOU are the oddball here. I hope you visit ALL of the reactor channels when you find their reactions to this awesome MV and I hope you get BANNED from EVERY REACTION CHANNEL you come across for being generally a shitty excuse for a Human being. How dare you TELL ANYBODY besides yourself how they are supposed to feel? You have zero empathy at all AND not-quite-so-important, you have missed the entire idea of entertainment and Art in general. Art is SUPPOSED to make Humans feel emotions. This MV and song did that PERFECTLY. If you can't understand that, either something is really wrong with you, or you are not even really Human. Tyrants and Martial Law states hate Art. If people are enjoying Art, it means freedom of expression is not dead. Tyrants just HATE that because they want EVERYTHING under their control. You seem like you fell in line with that heartless part just fine. You should go live in one of those countries so you can be ruled over and stepped on by one of those types of government. You'd fit right in since you already don't feel anything. I'm sure they would be glad to have you. Psychopaths of all kinds can stay well away from me.
