This version is MUCH better:) and about story/lore yes they are dead ...i think message is clear, Vitual Angels fly....but you can't fly in real life. This a message for all blinded/toxic fans who fall in love with idols, and treat tham like Angels/Gods, and that toxic love leads them to tragic. Idols aren't gods, they are humans like everyone else they have REALLY harsh life as idol, and just because they performing ....they hurts like as. WE should love them, but not forget that it's all performance.

​@@rjkpopif u r a solid loona fan u will notice it tho

i think also beside the lack of flashing images there are extra scenes and i think the name itself "human eye version" is not only quite funny but also can... represent the lore? like actually showing what happened to all the girls in the reality so in the human eye (the scenes with all of them laying werent in the og mv)

Yeah I started to wonder the same thing about whether it was meant both for a calmer experience as well as lore purposes, but that ending definitely had me questioning whether or not that was in the original MV or not

Human eye version probably also ties in with them being angels. And angels are to bright to see brighter than the son. So this is a version that won't kill your human eyes i guess lol

Rewatching this i just now realized why this song was giving me both nostalgic and futuristic vibes at the same time. The chorus is the same progression as Running Up that Hill 😮

i feel the ending with the girls in the ground means they fall from eden as olivia hye in egoist, its almost the same pose and in egoist there is a neon sign behind jinsoul that said "fallen angel", so it makes sense

The original version was purposely made difficult to watch cuz like with an angel, you can’t stare at it for long without either going crazy or hurting yourself. Wild conceptualization, but what else can we expect from Jaden Jeong

I know I can't speak for everyone as I don't have epilepsy; but now I've seen the original MV a few times this version feels almost empty? I feel like the fleeting nature of the song means that the 'flashes' of memories in the MV hit harder. Although it is nicer to get longer shots of the girls and the choreo

No that’s exactly i felt too, this version doesn’t have the same impact the original does, but i enjoyed the added scenes in this one though.

There was somethong very addicting and hypnotic about the OG mv, where as this one feels more like you can savor each moment a bit more, i think i still like the OG one more, but the song is just so good anyways that it doesn't matter to me hahaha

somehow I got used to the original version after watching it enough times...I prefer this one for sure (esp with some of the new scenes that they threw in) but the flashing definitely did the intensity justice if that makes sense

just realized that at the end when the girl is standing in the dark there are 5 people floating in the sky

I definitely do prefer this less eye strain version but after ruminating (and watching it countless times due to reactions lol) I can see the vision for the OG ver and it DOES make sense for the concept. My interpretation of the MV was that those girls lying on the ground at the end purposefully jumped or "flew" in order to achieve some goal. That scene of them hugging and forming one girl shrouded in light is definitely a nod to Birth and right after that scene the next time we see the girls it's them seemingly "dead" on the ground (like the body parts splitting in Birth?). But those crosses in the sky at the end mean something for sure. My hunch is they sacrificed themselves to make their Virtual Angels (ARTMS) they worshipped cross over to the real world. The one part I have trouble understanding is the camera girl's role. She was being attacked at first but then is friends later on with the cult girls? 🤔

I got the original ending in the first video and both in both of them I got this clty vibes. At the same time I got a little bit of "Serial Experiment Lane" vibes because this anime also starts with a girl jumping from a building and there's technology involved. So if the video had inspirations in this anime the girls will bring so much lore but maybe it's just an expectation of mine. P.S.: I got the impression that the girls jumped from the building but we never saw if they still are in the VR or not! This can mean that we could be a game alternative reality time line or something.

i also prefer the og version tbh!! it was hard to watch at first but i think that ties in with the theme of angels very well as they're supposed to be beings beyond human comprehension (or at least are often presented as such in media). i'm glad that they released the human eye version ofc cause it's easier to appreciate the shots this way (and also just easier to watch it generally, of course) BUT i love the artistry of the original, angelic version (also, unrelated to artms, but i just discovered your channel and i love your energy!!! reactionary channels aren't really my thing but you have a very pleasant presence and it's sooo nice listening to you!!)

@rjkpop oh i have no clue unfortunately :-( i think it does but you'd have to try out for yourself (video has to be paused!)

The concept reminds me of the cult “heavens gate” where some guy convinced a bunch of people they had to commit su!c!de to go to heaven. In the lyrics they say something about seeing you in “Eden” which is like heaven and in the album you get an “invitation to Eden” I think artms followers were led to believe they could join them in heaven and yeah, either tried to fly to heaven on knew they were gonna d!e in order to reach heaven. Definitely a message on fans behavior towards idols

I unlocked it, this is indeed true but I wanna add something, when they attached the virtual headset they gain these powers of levitating and laser eyes and having blurriness between reality and virtual world these bitches thought that they could do this in reality, it's super dark

The directors yelled CVLT but the gurls heard CVNT and served exactly that.

Did you guys see the 5 silhouettes in the sky at the end ?

Very nice !!!

I've said for a long while that someone needs to just gather all the Loona/Loossemble/ARTMS lore because I just know it goes so much deeper even than we imagine

The first mv is the odd eye version. Hence the second mv is the human eye version.

this was so much better, i get to drool over heejin's scenes more.

I definitely prefer this version, though I can see why people feel like it lacks intensity compared to the original. I'll take too chill over too obnoxious for me to watch any day, but I'm glad both versions exist.

NAH IM FIRST

can someone explain at the beginning why theyre attacking the girl in the car, shes the same girl whos recording them in the mv, is she being held hostage?

i feel i can see a connection related to ViVi? They are ARTMS followers, and Artemis is behind and trying to catch the deer from Birth. Vivi's representative animal is a deer and she also appeared filming in the last Loossemble MV and in her debut MV. So it coould means these 5 girls are trying to catch the deer. Something like that?

imo it's a commentary on how cults/ religious-groups can typically act, they may not use the most moral recruitment methods. it may feel like you're being peer-pressured to participate, but still genuine bonds can form regardless, hence the girls being friendly with camera girl toward the end.

It's a little insensitive to call the human eye version for "complainers." Like the disclaimer, people with epilepsy cannot watch the original video.

considering that "you can't watch directly to an angel " i think that's the reason that they called it "human eye ver" of course this was planned, they editing this version to the "angel version" so people talk about the mv and cought attention but the bad thing is that the first ver. got more negative comments because of the editing.
