Iu recorded this song when she had a bad cold and was constantly coughing and taking a little rest. Even so, she recorded this track perfectly. also, iu can be called an Angel, she really is like that. She has donated a lot of money during her career. She is always kind to everyone and loves her fans. Unfortunately, iu lost 3 of her friends, it's suicide. The song called "eight" is dedicated to him and most of all to her friend Sulli. I advise you to react to it. There is a clip.

Yeah absolutely, I was so worried seen her recording this. Timing and compromises forced her to that schedule, she is the toughest cookie I know.

Voice of an angel. Discovered her with this song when it was released, and I am a 50 year old male, and I cried like a baby! So emotional. The voice, the lyrics, the acting, etc. wow

YES!!! Agreed, IU definitely has a Beautiful and Angelic voice!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Not to mention she is rather stunning. 💜💜💜 I have never cried so much while listening to a song, but when she started belting out those lyrics, I just lost it. 🥺🥺🥺 God Bless!!! 🙏🙏🙏

IU debuted at 15 and is 30 years old now....she writes all her lyrics and produces her songs and videos... yes she has killing voice...also would recommend her Golden Hour concert videos...she was the first female solo kpop star to be allowed to perform in the Seoul olympic stadium....also recommend her live clips...."Love Poem", "Eight" and "Dear Name"....and if you want to see her real personality she hosts a show on youtube called IU's Palette where she interviews kpops biggest stars and also Koreas top actors and actresses ...

to be accurate, not exactly all songs tho, she only manage to take control in producing her own discography after she finish her 7 years debut contract which is when she first kickstart her age series songs with the song "23" as she turned 23. That's why some of her song from her debut period would seem cringe even for herself, since she is just a teenager when she sing those old songs of hers such as "Lost Child" and "Good Day"

To me, the video is about how the machine (cube) of industry/media pursues you constantly, leaving you battered and bruised, and, in the end, can suck the life out of you. IU is fantastic and her and V's acting in this is stellar.

@@CoachCastTV 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 the world put masks on when they don't have make-up or when they feel inssecure 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...

Wow!

V the actor who takes role as her lover is from a group called BTS which I think you guys know of since they are the biggest group in the world. Iu has an amazing voice literally made me cry

😌IU is a legend in Korea and the best thing is that she is still valid after 15 years of career, something that 99% of kpop artists cannot achieve because it is a very competitive and cyclical industry, however IU is known sustain as an actress and singer for 15 years, she is a complete artist, please watch her oldest videos first to see her evolution.

Great reaction as always. Yeah, IU is something else. While Girls Generation is "The Nations Girl Group", IU is "Nations Little Sister", likely the most influential K-Pop solo artist of all times. This song already achieved its "Perfect All-Kill" status (which means it simultaneously took the top spot on all eight Korean music charts). The MV for "Love Wins All" was directed by Um Tae-hwa (one of the most successfull and award winning directors in Korea) and features V from BTS (the biggest boy group in the world) as male actor, who is not even singing in the song. Shows, how everybody wants to comes running when IU asks them to collaborate on a project. She is the Korean artist other Korean artists look up to. The "idol of idols" so to speak. She debuted at the age of 15 back in 2008 (not even one year after the debut of Girls Generation, to put it into perspective). Today she basically has her "own" exclusive label with EDAM (established specifically for her) where she produces, composes and writes many of her songs. She also has own variety tv interview show (Palette) and her long running reality tv series (IU TV); both available for free on her KZread channel. To top it off, she is also one of the most successful and award winning actress in Korean Entertainment. I for example first got to know her through one of her K-Drama roles. Yes, she has an amazing killing voice episode, although it would of course spoil her songs. So I would watch that a bit later, after you're more familiar with her. What I consider as two of the most important "must watch" suggestions for her are: 1. Her MV for "Eight" and the KZread video "IU Eight explained by a Korean" because it showcases how meaningful her songs can be (and teaches you a bit about the K-Pop industry as well) 2. Her Live Performances for "Blueming" (from 2019 Love Poem concert) and "Eight" (from 2022 ) both record breaking concerts in their own ways, giving you a glimpse into how big she really is She usually also publishes great Behind The Scenes episodes for most of her releases. For example I can highly recommend the two BTS episodes for the Golden Hour concert and as well as the two BTS episodes for Love WIns All (MV making off, recording of the song). Final suggestion for your patreon: Why not add a K-Drama to your reaction mix? One episode per week, maybe as a nice weekend release exlusive on patreon? A whole other world (and fanbase) opening for you, expanding your Korean entertainment knowledge? You could start with one of IUs K-Dramas (I would suggest "Hotel Del Luna", available on Netflix)

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.

IU discography is definitely a must check out if you’re exploring kpop. Killing voice is good one , she sings some songs she wrote during her 20s there. Though her face looks like a 18 years old teenager she’s actually 30. And if you wanna check out her other MVs , i saw someone recommend eight which is definitely a good one since the song is tribute to her 3 friends that passed away. I also wanna recommend “Good day” since it’s probably the “blew up” moment for her with the iconic 3 level 13-seconds high notes she did. And coincidentally, Today 13 years ago is the day that she released “Good day”😂

IU can't hear and V’s one eye can't see ,in the end IU covered the good eyes of Taehyung so he won't see the horrible ending in front of them ,im Stuck at how a single tear from Taehyung’s good eye traced its path down his face and IU’s hand gently covered his eyes, It's as if he found a momentary refuge in her touch, offering a subtle relief from the overwhelming sensation ... AH I CAN'T STOP CRYING 😢

Imagine only an actress appears in this MV? And Taehyung fans and Army worldwide have been watching and supporting it, bringing it to have the best viewership. IU mentioned that no other actor is more suitable to co-star in this MV than Taehyung. Both acting and their chemistry are widely-complimented. IU has previously invited him to IU's Palette and their duet is critically acclaimed. For your information, Taehyung won the 13th Soompi Award for his one and only acting role a few years ago. He is a multitalented artist but has been hidden in the group for years. Since BTS solo era, he did a number of projects and his latest solo album broke many records worldwide. Tae always supports other artists like collaborating with a new star named Umi. He is one of the few big artists who is willing to support new stars.

@battleangel4833 You’re commenting on many groups and you are not even an IU's fan. I already said that IU's fans appreciate the participation of Taehyung in this video unlike you who said that is nothing wrong not to like an artist. There is nothing wrong to dislike an artist but it's disrespectful to show your attitude publicly. After all, I have only seen IU's fans speaking nicely of Taehyung and Taehyung’s fan highly compliment her as well.. When did I disrespect IU? I love her and respect her. She’s multi-talented and is named Korea’s Sweetheart while Tae is named Korea’s Treasure. She is a good friend of Taehyung and she will be equally unhappy to see Kpoppers disrespecting her friend. I just state that the success of this MV is contributed by 2 persons. If this is Tae’s MV while IU is a co-star, we will compliment on her and give her recognition too. If you disagree, then leave it as it is. After all, Kim Taehyung is the most popular male artist worldwide. The opinion of one or two persons doesn't matter to him. It’s only that I feel he deserves recognition for working hard to produce this MV. And millions people love their acting. They are the most in-demand couple on screen right now.

She is in her 16th year and on going + in the entertainment business and still going strong. That many years experience and she still look so young huh? Some people might even think shes still barely an adult. She is 30 years old now but already at the pinnacle of her career in her 20s already. Since she started out as a minor. One of the top vocalist of south korea. She is very powerful and influential in the entertainment business. She is now a super successful actress and is in the list of one of the top richest celebrity in south korea because of being the top of her career in singing and acting.

IU has the voice of an angel. Truly remarkable artist. Can’t wait to see you check out some more of her work🔥

The cube 'Nemo' represents the discrimination towards marginalized people (symbolized in IU being mute and Taehyung being blind in one eye). They stayed together till the end with their love sustained, free from all oppression and pressure from society. LOVE WINS ALL!

IU is like BTS in the love for deeper meaning behind a song, a music video, or both. It's one of my favorite things about them all - so much more interesting than the surface-level meanings in most Western pop songs.

The director did say viewers can have their own interpretation. The camcorder serves as a filter and allows imagination to roam freely. Everything is imagination through the camcorder. Reality resumes when you see their wounds and tattered clothes. In the end, the two of them are seen ascending to a better place through the camcorder, while they are eradicated in reality. So sad. So beautiful. So brutally real.

The pile of clothing in this video was also used in a BTS song called "Spring Day." The inspiration is an art installation by Christian Boltanski where the clothing represents "the heaviness of all the hearts now lost." BTS used it to signify the lives lost in the Sewol Ferry tragedy (mostly children). Here, it's of course those lost "to the cubes." I love that this installation I had never heard of until I saw the "Spring Day" MV now brings an instant feeling of regret to me when the concept is used in other places. IU is an amazing person and an amazing artist. She has an Internet show called "Palette" where she interviews other artists. The guest sings their own song, IU sings one of their songs with them, and they sing an IU song with her. It's a terrific show.

I really recommend her song 'My Sea' it's one of my fave songs from her and it showcases her crazy vocals! There's also a good live version of it from her concert 'Golden Hour'! Also Love Poem is a beautiful song too with meaningful lyrics!! Thank you for the reactions!

As people have said, V (Taehyung) from BTS was in the video. He filmed this just a week before leaving for military service and all our BTS boys are now serving. You should give V's solo work a chance as he has a more laid back lo-fi/jazzy style. You would love his Tiny Desk Korea performance.💜

Nice to come home from work to this, thanks again. OH yes please to her Killing Voice.! "Blueming" live. [IU] Blueming Live Clip (2019 IU Tour Concert 'Love, poem')

IU is sensational. Her Killing Voice is the highest viewed episode. Ironically, she was sick when recording the K.V. and also had a flu and cough when recording “Love Wins All.” She still sounds like angels singing from Heaven.

IU is a singer-songwriter, music producer, actress, and host, as well as a passionate philanthropist. Her voice is angelic, and her personality mirrors that of an angel. In a country with a high suicide rate like South Korea, she endeavors to convey various forms of love and solace through her music. She hopes to assist those who are in pain and despair, providing them with strength and comfort emotionally. I believe you will enjoy the song "Love poem." I recommend watching IU's 20-minute live performance in "Killing Voice" (with English subtitles). This will give you an understanding of her vocal abilities across various music genres. Despite suffering from nasal inflammation and not being in the best physical condition on the recording day, she delivered a flawless performance, making this video currently the most popular in the "Killing Voice" series.

Love Wins All is a true masterpiece. The gorgeous IU has created an anthem of love for all time. Everything in this music video is beautiful, right down to the dust on the tables. It's pure art. The song is so sensual and sublime. The interactions between IU and V in the music video are amazing. Seriously, IU’s album The Winning is a masterpiece. Every song is such a diamond. Every music video is a visual delight. IU is a true musical genius.

IU have been making music for 15 years or so. She is a talent who have nurtured her vocal skills to a higher level. She is known for her ballets, sure, but she also do other things. You should try and listing to Holssi (if you haven't already). It's another vibe. A bit trippy but also a fantastic song :)

The pule of clothes reminds Bts Army of the song Spring Day by bts i cried seeing that

IU "Love Always Wins" V's character is blind in one eye... it's why she touches that eye when first looking through the camera, and covers the other eye at the end(so he won't see the end). Protecting him, while she faces it head one. And it took Me more than one viewing to notice this. They both appear to be Mute... to have "No Voice" in their world or in their life/futures.

our beloved IU is both popular Idol & Actress Her voice is so pretty She is also richest Kpop idol

Thanks for this reaction. When they say she’s royalty in SK, they MEAN it! Barracks have been known to empty out when she makes a tv appearance. lol! If you want to hear more of her singing, I suggest listening to one of her earliest songs called Good Day. She does a high 3 note progression at the end without even batting an eyelash. She’s that good! When you read her backstory you’ll be even more impressed. She’s also an amazing talented actress and talk show host (IU’s Pallete) Enjoy getting to know her. 🙏🏽

15 years ago ! One of her first mv and debut is also awesome at the age of 15. “Lost child”. Already sounds like a veteran singer at the age of 15. Its a more upbeat ballad. Not slow at all. Good song of her early career when she was a minor

Her stage name IU stands for " I and You become one through music."

What's really great about her is that she's maintained her top spot for 16 years. It's something that can't be judged simply by a few of her songs. She is also recognized as an actress. It also receives excellent reviews. Korea is very sensitive to trends. Nevertheless, she has been able to maintain her top spot for 16 years, something that only a very few people are allowed to do. There are many truly outstanding singers in Korea. These singers have truly amazing singing skills. However, most of them are not at the top for 16 years. That's why she is a role model for all female singers. She (since she was a solo singer from the beginning) (The role model for female idols is Taeyeon.) Roughly speaking, if you think that IU is the pinnacle of Korean female singers, you are roughly correct.

For another emotional ballad from IU, check out "Love Poem", which is supposedly aimed at people who are considering suicide. There is a live version taped in a studio that is incredible. Of her more upbeat songs, my favorite is Blueming. But for all that she is a fantastic songwriter and singer, her acting is what really blows me away. Some of her TV dramas on Netflix, like My Mister and Hotel del Luna show her incredible range as an actress and she was nominated for an award at Cannes Film Festival for her role in the movie Broker.

Two of IU's live concert videos from her current world tour are out. To experience her popularity, I think her live concert videos are the way to go. The "Shopper" video is a really good example of her connection with her fans. I find it both interesting and fascinating. The fan chants remind me of a college sporting event. 15,000 fans yelling a scripted chant as she sings. She has fan videos instructing when and what to chant. I compare her to Linda Ronstadt, because of her versatility. I've heard her sing Pop, R&B, Jazz, Rock & Roll, Rap, Country. Almost anything, and, she sings in 5 languages. Her life story reminds me of "The Coalminer's Daughter". Whether you like her music, or, not, her talent and charisma are undeniable, and, her life story is the kind they make movies about.

V released his first solo album recently, and it is utterly fantastic. He is part of BTS, who have been singing 10+ years together. I don't know much about IU, except she is an actress too. V has acted before as well, but this is their first time acting together, I think.

Yes, I do love this beautiful song, and I love IU's voice. This is my first time hearing her sing

It's weird when some people at certain times demand complete and linear narratives from a brief music video. I wonder why 🤔

I'm excited to see your reaction to iu killing voice 🤍

Here is some extra info about the music video... Director Um Tae Hwa released a guide explaining the MV and gave 4 Key points. First, the "cube" signified the discrimination and oppression that are prevalent in the daily lives of the main characters. Second, the "camcorder" represents the "lens of love," an important "device" that allows us to look at the beautiful things in the world beyond the internal or external appearance of the characters. Third, IU and BTS V became the main characters in a "survival story of a dystopian worldview of someone who cannot speak and sees the world only through his left eye." Despite the difficulty, feeling hurt and exhausted, they relied on each other despite "cube" and tried to overcome it in the end. Fourth and last, the "wedding dress and tuxedo" symbolize the "fruit of love." At the end where they are seen rising in the air, it depicts that they are finally "free to fly away from all kinds of oppression and pressure." Have a wonderful day💜

This is awesome! Adds new meaning to the video for sure. Thanks for sharing.

IU bodyguard, Mr. Park, is a celebrity for being tall and extremely handsome.

Congratulations on the reaction and for being introduced to this incredible human being that is IU! Most of her songs have a social background, which is why she is so special, as if her beautiful voice weren't enough. The man who is with her is a member of BTS called V, I don't think you know him because I saw that in all his videos there are none of BTS and I thought it was strange, but I think it's interesting to say that he is the only one in the group trained to act. and has a beautiful kdrama on his resume. He was invited by IU and despite him having a perfect voice she invited him to act because she knew that, in addition to his talent, he wanted to leave something behind before leaving and recorded the music video just a week before traveling for his mandatory military service in your country. They are both great friends and he was the last interviewed on the Palette program that IU presents and there they did a beautiful duet where they sang "Ending Scene" which I would like you to hear, it is beautiful and gives an excellent dimension of their vocal category. Thanks.

IU has so much talent, One of my fav soloists

She has done several songs with bts member Suga as well its literally incredible. She loves the guys from bts.

Well that was just lovely! Hanging out with you guys and listening to a beautiful song is always a nice way to spend the evening. IU has been on my "maybe I should check her out"-list for a while, so thank you for getting it started. You guys are truly conduits for me finding new artists.

We appreciate that! (And word of the day!)

I recommend watching her ‘behind the scenes’ in an interview she was inspired for the storyline were for her friends who passed due to haters and bullying as well as herself and others who have deal with mean comments etc, I’m sure you understand that. The cube metaphor is a TV screen and the people are the faceless viewers who mock you etc. Good luck coach.

That does add a lot of depth to the storyline of the video.

She's an idols, idol.

Please react to her live concert the golden hour EIGHT LIVE AND NY SEA

Check out her live performances. Recommend Blueming and Hold My Hand. She's so dynamic on stage and sings just as well live.

FINALLY MY IDOL! THANKS MR. AND MRS. COACH!

Yay!!!! Thank you for this reaction. IU is having a world tour this year and its so nice to see u guys doing this vid. She writes her own music, you should definitely react to her recording this song. Shes a legend in the kpop industry and is also known for her kind and generous personality. For her birthday/anniversaries etc her and her fanclubs would donate money to charity together.

SUPER LADYYY

Exceptionally beautiful voice, with a sort of haunting quality. Very emotional presentation of the video too. Rather love it!

Yes! IU killing voice!

I found IU through SUGA of BTS. He has done two collaborations with her. By the way, the actor that played her love interest in this video is V (Kim Taehyung) of BTS. He was a guest on her talk show, and they sang a few songs. You might enjoy that. I can see if I can find the clips. And I'll link you the collaboration songs with SUGA of BTS. She has also sang with J-Hope of BTS as well.

IU is a close friend of BTS, Taehyung V, Suga and Jungkook IU's biggest fan 😂🥰🥰🥰

If u love rose u will adore IU

IU is "mainstream" in SK, folks respect her - classy actress, singer, songwriter and produser. I see cube as people whom want to put down others whom dont fit in cube-people standars. And everyone of us can think - am I one of those cube-peoples who are behind that screen (V is hitting)? When you use your "cube" and write/ read comments - what you find there? Sorry my english and greetings from the north edge of Europe And... Christian Bolanski (artist behind of 'pile of clothes'): Each piece of clothing was deposited on top of the mountain pile, symbolically carrying the “souls” of those who inhabited the clothes to a “higher place.” In this work, the mountain was an eternal afterlife of sorts, where every individual rests after death. (BTS used that piece of art in 'Spring day' MV)

Very interesting, and certainly a valid interpretation of this art. IU has an amazing voice.

Angelic voice ! And remember IU recorded this after making the video and she had a cold/flu from the days of doing the MV in extreme cold weather (they had to smash the ice that was in the swimming pool they ran past at the start of the MV )but still sounded angelic ! Take a look at SB19 and their song MAPA you will like that one also I think (Philippine boy group )

저는 이 노래 mv만 보면 눈물이 나네요. ㅠㅠ 많은 생각을 하게 만듭니다. 리액션 잘 보았습니다.

Korea's national little sister lol Great reaction Coach!

@CoachCastTV , is not about only handicapped at all as some in comments mentioned. Unfortunately, South Korea is a highly judgmental country and in order not to get hate or a death threats as the majority of Korean fans (and the rest of the Conservatives on earth) practice per usual if something does not suit their mental capacity, only relationship between female and male characters, in one eye blind V of BTS and deaf and mute I.U are depicted in MV. CUBE is used as a metaphor for a "perfect society" pointing fingers, trying to put everyone inside their own ugly thinking box, seeng disabilities as a curse, scrutinising, judging, abusing, insulting and in many cases killing other people with a different point of view and love preferences. The world which is trying everything to look down on "inperfects", "damaged goods", free-spirited individuals forcing to comply what they are convinced is the "righteousness". Going after minorities, hating on everything and everyone they even do not know, not letting people love who they love, not letting people be who they want to be, seeng ugliness in love and freedom instead of the beauty and power of love, the only thing real in this computer simulated programme, the game called 'Human Civilisation' you all are experiencing. This song, IU's and V's top, madterful acting, her incredebly heavenly voice, MV, meaning, message behind to how beautiful and perfect life could be as shown through lovers camera lenses wuthout haters in Director Uhm's work is a pure cinematic masterpiece, a great example, the reminder to entire Humankind that only thing what really matters is freedom, kindness and love towards one and all. Manage to achieve all said above in a just 5:23 minutes on top of heartbreakingly sad, melancholic, tragic yet most beautiful love story is nothing short of the miracle, the miracle that the glorious, eternal love itself is. Take best care of yourselves, to others and to each other, and remember that only Love Wins all. With love eternal and many blessings to you all, yours, MadeInArt, MadeinArt13. 💜💜💜

Excellent comment. So much truth to what you say about people having issue with those who don't fit perfectly in their box.

-iu is a special artist in kpop/ kmusic industry; she's very popular, but still has her own musicality/ idealism. Also she's a very good actress with some classic kdramas and even was invited to Cannes in 2022 (!!). -yes, all facts you say is right, BUT actually its very difficult thing to do in there, like there's no similar case like her in kmusic/ kpop / k - entertainment industry in modern times (pun intended)/ last 20 years or so. -if you still hesitate to watch Killing Voice, my recommendation are : (1) Blueming live clip from Love Poem concert (2) Eight live clip (Golden Hour concert) (3) Palette MV (4) Bbibbi MV (5) Through The Night MV anyway, thank you, really appreciate your sincere reaction :)

Thank you so much!

IU is a very unique singer, and yes, she is known as a national treasure in South Korea. She encountered financial difficulties in her family when she was a child, so she determined to become an "adult" who could support her own life earlier. Because she likes singing, she decided to be a singer. She hoped to connect the hearts between "I and YOU" through music with emotions, so she took the stage name "IU". Originally, she wanted to be a traditional ballad singer when she debuted, but because too young, she did not gain much attention from the public in that time(when she is only 15). Later, the entertainment company tried to package her as an idol singer and achieved great success (in the year she was 18). But when she became very popular with the public at the age of 21 with her beautiful appearance and cheerful personality, she decided to regain her original ambition and embark on a completely different path from ordinary Kpop......She remake songs more than 20-years-old, and re-introduced the popular culture of the previous generation to the younger generation, and received a very good response from public. From then on, Koreans no longer viewed her as an idol with only a sweet image, but instead viewed her with respect as a real "artist of music" who contributed to popular culture. In additional to her famous angelic voice just like moonlight, she is also known for her versatility and is an award-winning singer, music producer, lyricist, also a top-tier actress and model. She has many popular songs composed by herself. Because she has held the belief that "love will eventually win" for many years, she wrote the lyrics and produce the project herself, and specially asked the film director she had collaborated with to film this MV.(The directer won the 2023 Blue Gragon Films Award of Korea)

It's a shame that you only react to female kpop and male rock, I would really like to see you react to "Attack of Bangtan" live in Japan, by BTS. It's a show!!!

Strawberry Moon by IU

My KPop Group Trifecta... Mamamoo, BlackPink, and SHINee. SOLOISTS... Bae Suzy, IU(meaing I and You...real name Lee Ji-eun), and Kim SeJeong(who is an Huge IU fan girl LoL). ALL of whom are Very good actresses as well. Sejeong is the Reason I got into KPop Sejeong is such a IU fan girl, that once when she was in an interview talking about her own new release... IU came up in conversation and she ended up talking about IU instead of her Own music. And was just on IU's Palette. It's a must see... IU gets a little flustered with how much of a FAN GIRL Sejeong is. [IU's Palette🎨] SEJEONG's heart is on a 'Voyage' to IU (With KIM SEJEONG) Ep.23 kzread.info/dash/bejne/dnqqraaHl8W2osY.html MUST SEE...Sejeong's Cover of IU's "MY SEA" [CLEAN_ver.] 김세정(KIM SEJEONG) - 아이와 나의 바다 (IU) kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKeordybqrXdiZM.html Kim Sejeong co-wrote the music and lyrics for all of the songs on Her album "Door"

the message is how our world will never run out of hate, discrimination, injustice and violence, but if we continue to love each other (e.g. IU with Uaenas), our love will see us through to the end. Our love will keep us together until we fade away. 🥲So instead of being able to escape, they are fading together. Face what is scary with someone you trust and see things beautifully as long as you are with someone you love. This is Jieun's song for UAENAS 🥹 her fans. V is the representation of his fans. The cube is the representation of hatred or negative people who do not accept those who are different than them. In the mv there are many but they are alone. Hate will always be alone, although in great quantity, but love will always be accompanied and that is why it is stronger. Even though he often loses battles. V is blind in one eye because we fans don't see or know everything that happens with her, but she will be our guide and that's why she takes him by the hand all the time, guiding him along a safe path. She is mute because she is often criticized for how she thinks and only sings when she is with her fans. Since she can say and be whatever she wants with us. Because we are that safe place in each other. In the part where she sings, the audience makes fun of her and asks her to come down. This refers to her debut, since many fans of other idols insulted her and asked her to leave. She doesn't pay attention to them, she just concentrates on you. That also refers to when in the "good day" era IU only had one fan at a music show and she only concentrated and was encouraged by the love of that fan. Getting married is the symbolism of the union rings 💍 that IU and her fans wear. The first to see IU's beauty IS V (HER FANS) THEN IU. That tells us that she realized that there are beings equally hurt by life who can see their inner essence in a beautiful way. That's why she sees V in such a bright light. And the end is how she sees life. It is not perfect, it is chaotic and discouraging, it will hit you without mercy, that is life. We will be happy in the dark moments being together. That is why although faceless people criticize them for their actions they do not give it importance. IU wanted to defend V (her fans) but IU knows that we would never let her face evil alone. And we recognize that IU has a hearing disability. In her documentary, IU was diagnosed last year with a patulous Eustachian tube, in which the ear canals remain open. It causes a lot of pain to hear your own voice, breathing, ringing and other discomfort in your ear. He is currently undergoing treatment.

In our local Korean restaurant her picture is all over the place because she represents so many brands.

IU love her 😍 She's a good actress too.

the cube represents something else....it´s not scifi.....some say it´s the industry, some say it´s old age, illness, rough world around us etc etc..... but they stick together no matter what!

Another little tit bit about IU ..she often has notifications after her videos ( IU palette and IU TV )for missing children she sings like an Angel and has the heart of an Angel
