I found a side of IU that I hadn't seen before with this song and M/V. A slightly changed color of music and rap... If you're an IU fan, you felt like your best friend showed up with a different outfit than usual. I could clearly feel that IU was starting something, because she's now in her 30s. If you look back at the albums she released in her 20s, you can see that she didn't just try different music for no reason. I'm looking forward to February 20th.
i started following her from the first time i saw her acting in Dream High i was totally in love with her cuteness specially her voice. That drama makes me watch all her dramas and listen to her songs. She is very good person and a very talented unique one.
Song description for #홀씨 #Holssi Lyrics by #IU / Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-kyu, #IU / Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon and Lee Chae-kyu In ‘CHAT-SHIRE’, my first album I took part in producing in my 20s, I used a bunch of flowers as a metaphor for my age. Be it fancy flowers or small flowers. Back then, I believed that I would be in full bloom when the time comes. In my 30s, I realised that there’s no reason and no need for everything in the world to become flowers, so I’ve decided to live as a holssi (spore) fluttering softly in the sky. Like a shopper who doesn’t get tired of (shopping), I want to look around and roam about without a destination in mind, putting in my shopping cart various options that are on display from everywhere in my world. A track with a unique Hip-Hop/R&B-based composition. On top of a heavy Drum & Bass, IU’s vocals sometimes expresses the versatility of an R&B singer, sometimes the ease of a confident Rapper and sometimes the cheerfulness and simpleness of children singing nursery rhymes and shows off a variety of charms.

Here is my interpretation of this MV. The opening scene is shot on Myer St along side the LA river, Tweety is is sitting on top of EL PATO SALSA. Part of This video was shot at the intersection of Jordan Ave and Valerio St in Canoga Park, CA. The factvthatvit was shot in I believe is a key to what the song is about. This is the 1st time IU has made a video in the US & guess what she is coming to the West (Europe and the US) to hold concerts for the 1st time. Don't tell me there isn't a connection. There have been a lot of people, in Korea particularly, who say & have been saying, that IU doesn't need to prove herself by going to the US or Europe. It seems as if she is talking to directly to someone, and telling then her plans and to not worry about her, she has this. She spreading herself like Dandylion spores on the wind. She isn't going to settle on smooth ground (i.e. taking the easy way). She says she is a single spore (a soloist). On a different road. Fly high to bloom. (To reach her full potential) If any asks how I'm doing Send them the news "She has become a spore" (she has taken to the wind, flying without wings where she lands nobody knows, meaning how will things turn out no body knows). Follow me, gonna go and win (she will succeed on this different road). Follow me, even without wings (on social media etc she will be visible ) I'll fly in the center for everyone to see (like her last 4 indoor concerts in the round, she wont shy away and hide) The sky above is blinding. But I'm not afraid of heights at all. (She is not afraid of the risk she is taking. A risk many others, have advised her against taking.) I'll fly so close to the scorching sun (she will push the risk factor in order to succeed. ) But she will sit on a cloud (and enjoy the show) And she might cause a little ruckus while she's at it just for fun. (meaning watch out, expect the unexpected) The road ahead won't be easy. (She knows the risk and how difficult it will be) But I won't fuss about it (she won't complain or make excuses) This was my choice, it always has been (no one pressured her or said to truely make it you have to make it in the US. It's her choice and always has been. Whatever happens it's on her no one else). The odds of it being easy are zero (acknowledging she is fully aware of what she is embarking on) Wish you all good luck. I'll even say goodbye (this sounds too much like her lyric in Eight where she is angry that her friends just come and go as they please without even saying good bye. But she is saying goodbye, possibly saying she isn't committing career suicide like her 3 friends actually committedsuicidewithout saying good bye.) May God be with ya See, (she said goodbye) see ya Tweety pie reference is definitely important and significant. I'll admit I am still a little confused by it, but here it goes anyway. Tweety is caged and only leaves the cage and takes flight to escape Sylvester always returning to the safety of the cage. Could it be IU's way of saying that she is leaving the cage and it's risky to do so but sometimes in order to survive (escape Sylvester the cage can become a trap and leaving it is required to survive but never leaving it permanently) you leave. But the safety of the cage is always there and Tweety always returns to it. By filming this in the US with American dancers and American neighborhood etc, she is establishing a connection with her western audience. The ending credit scene where the IU HOLSSI kite/balloon is behind the powerless gives the image that it is still in a cage and safe. It is also interesting that the child looking out at the other kids dancing with IU, and appears to be interested but also a little nervous appears to be of Asian descent. (Meaning could be the child in IU that is still a little nervous or when she was younger the thought of doing what she is now doing was scary or that she is acknowledging those in Korea who worry about her) the worrying about her however extents to all her fans around the world. At the end she allows the cartoonish IU go as the real IU, who is no longer wearing the Dandylion outfit of the ballon/kite gets ready to head out on her different road.
I agree that this is quite distinct from her prior music, though I feel it somewhat resembles 'Black Out'. Great reaction! Looking forward to seeing more.
IU is one of a kind! She finely crafts her MVs and it's really fun to watch them over and over again because there is just so much to pick up on: in terms of the details and in the symbolism. One example: take a close look at the graffiti sprayed on the asphalt at the bottom right corner as the camera zooms in on her at the beginning of the video. It tells you who directed the MV!😂 Another example: did you notice that when the dancers appeared, the trash bags are no longer there? What does that symbolise? What is she trying to tell us?😅 Also, did you see one dancer in blue while the rest were in black? That corresponds to the few blue trash bags amongst the many black ones seen at the start of the video. Talk about details!😮 It's just like her to give us great music, beautiful lyrics that are so meaningful, vibrate visuals and a fun game of "Can you spot all the Easter Eggs in the MV?"😂 Uniquely IU!❤

한국 뉴스에 미국 할아버지가 나오는것 보고 왔어요.
holssi(hodssi)라고 하면
한국 사람들은 spore가 아닌
dandelion seed를 떠올리는데
변역이 아쉬워요ㅎㅎ
지금, 난 이해요. 난 조금 한국어를 이해요. 아주 조금. 미국 사람이에요.
Wow IU🐑🐑
