U need to loose weight 😂👌
the audio....
stfu abir
@@kulotz5555 😑 wth is wrong with u ?
you called my boy fat when he is not even
She's being savage in the most cutest way:')
so well said............................ she is the only idol who does not act cute but we stans just feel that cuteness....
Agreed
totally agree!!
omg so agree !!
Yessss!
And that's why you can't spell genius without *IU*
oHMYGOD!! geNiuS 👏👏
That was savage 😂
Wow
I see what you did there bud... well said
GenIUs
idol,siren and bbibbi .... those songs themes are pretty similar ........ are the idols trying to say something to their fans ?? ......i think they really really need some privacy....
Fani Fanita ikr! those songs have really similar concepts (but i do really like all of them)
it seems like the issue of the privacy of kpop idols has really become quite bad lately and it’s so brave that they’re speaking up about it !!
agreee
yess idols have had ENOUGH
Fani Fanita Dddu dddu du was kind of like that too with the annoying buzz of the media
Same thoughts here
I like this song and I agree with the message. It really upsets me when people forget that these celebrities or idols are still people at the end of the day and deserve privacy and happiness. Especially when people claim to be fans but they're stalking them and trying to break into their rooms and following in cars so close they cause accidents. People like that make me nervous as a fan to go up and say hi to one of my favorite artists, should I be lucky enough to run into one, because I want to give them space. I wouldn't want them to be annoyed and think i'm one of "those" fans. Anyways, give artists their personal safe space please. They deserve it.
I totally agree because at the end of the day, if idols work so hard for their fans and they cant even receive something as simple privacy, it can be overwhelming and disappointing. yes fans might get excited but you should want the best for your faves, especially since mental and physical health comes first. everyone deserves to be respected. its very sad to see that invasion of privacy still happens, Even after songs such as idol, siren and bbibbi came out. these songs might even referencing to some nosy fans
@@raneetdhillon4219 i'm hoping that someday soon fans will figure it out.
This is a very timely song and I feel like more people need to listen to it. I'm not an IU fan or anything but I do appreciate how she is always fearless with her music and she doesn't let the public dictate to her what she should or shouldn't do even though she's been in the industry since she was a kid. Thanks for this video, I think this series is the best thing on TH-cam right now.
Sj Baem, her songs probably are healing for her, she gets to express herself
i remember GD by watching at her new song
You said it right, man 💪💪
Yeah for right now tho when she was younger, she usually just listen to other people
same tbh im not an iu fan, in fact i know little abt her, but i always enjoy her title songs cause its always so chill and personal (kinda) her songs are good! really loved bibibi
idols are so smart
She's not an Idol, she's a Gasu.
@@gustlightfall whats that? Haha
@@liene111 A professional singer in korean terms.
@@gustlightfall whats the difference? Aren't idols professonial singers, too? 🤔
@@liene111 Big difference, Idols are performers, they focus more on dancing, even though some members have vocal skills. Singers (Gasu) on the other hand focus solely on vocals, which tends to give them very very high vocal skills plus they often have unique vocal quality, they also often write their own music (which makes her a step above and also often called artist in korea) while Idols tends to get their music produced. They are both on the same industry but they operate on different principles. You'll often see Idols saying they want to improve their vocal skills and be called a Gasu in the future.
love this analysis!
oh I didn't know you liked IU!!!
Iu and lavendaire are my favorite things😍❤️❤️
Lavendaire omg!!!
♡
Lavendaire omg love you're here!!! 💕
"It's true that many of the lyrics are written based on my personal experiences, but I didn't set out targetting my haters. The lyrics were written with a much broader scope in mind. The lyrics are not just about myself. In our daily lives, there are momemts when we worry that the other party is crossing a line even though they say it was done in goodwill. So I wanted to write about clearly drawing the line and pointing out those moments."
- IU
What video did she say this?
Interesting. I thought the whole line thing could also be a message to fans, who sometimes invade her personal space. And the line "we don't owe anything" might be her speaking as an idol. Idols are considered almost as "public property" and not seen as human beings. She could be saying, "Back off, we don't owe anything to you."
I don’t think it was a message to fans. Especially because IU said it herself that this song was a present for her fans to celebrate her 10 years of debut. I don’t think she would’ve tried to “diss” her fans when she’s also doing all she can to thank them and also previously told us, this song was like a gift.
Maybe not fans but sasaengs and paparazzi?
Riddhi Agarwal Yes, I think too! Especially because IU fans are known to be really chill. A lot of people in Korea are fans but since they are usually 20+, they are more mature than Kpop idols’ fans
It always amazes me when celebrities complain about fans invading their personal space. You can't have it both ways: be famous and have people leave you alone. It doesn't work that way. IU and every other celebrity CHOSE to become a public figure. If she's tired of it, she can always go back to being poor and irrelevant. I'm sure she said to herself during all of those auditions that she would do anything to become famous. Now that she's a top star, she doesn't like the limelight? Huh? No one forced her to do anything.
cl There’s a bottom line even if she’s a celebrity. You get to see her on broadcast but you do not get to dictate her personal life, give her advice, send death threats, etc. People do not seem to understand this thing that should be common sense.
So technically this is a sad song on a joyful beat. Genius
Thanks for the explanation video, I have been waiting for it (: Also in the line "Hello stu PID", the way she pronounces "stu PID" sounds like "stupid ID", which could refer to the keyboard warriors who would judge her online and like you said, hide their identities behind anonymity.
nice one
She lisped STUPID ID knowingly.... that is so clever.... like ... she is saying STUPID also and adding ID... she is specifically targeting to the trollers.
Ooh nice catch
OOOOOOOOO yeahhhh thanks for thisss!!
Oh nice take
IU is one of the artists i truly respect. I love the authenticity in every music she puts out. Besides that, she's very versatile, I love it
IU is a freakin genius
Jus what I thought ...all those minute details.....
yes and the way english and korean are combinated. I love it
Did she compose it?
i really wanted to like the comment but i dont wanna make it 666
YOU NOW HAVE 666 LIKES THANK TO ME
Edit 1: oh 1k likes i see....
I especially like the line “she’s hanging out with ‘that person’ these days” and “she’s a problem too.” Although you didn’t mention it, i think this is a direct reference to her comeback w/ the song 23 where she was criticized a lot by k-netz as someone who romanticized the lolita concept and how weird that comeback and album was. Which they all related to the fact that IU was hanging out with f(x)’s ex-member Sulli, an idol that the public also considered, at that time, problematic and someone who’s been acting weird and inappropriate because of her instagram posts. Great video explaining the true meaning to these songs, keep it up!
The lyrics of 3:13 to 3:21 appear to be that IU will take the legal action if they keep crossing the line and won't forgive them no matter why they did that. It's the expression of 'I don't care why you did that.'
와 저랑 생각하신게 똑같네요 저마다의 사정이 사람들이 아이유에게 보내는 충고나 요청보단 법적대응 이후에서야 급히 말해대는 핑계라고 생각했는데 저만 그렇게 생각한게 아니군요 :D
"이거 뭐야, 내가 가해자인가? 싶을 정도로 헷갈렸는데, 뭐 처벌은 해야죠." 라고 한 인터뷰 보고 나서 저 가사를 보면 확실하게 느낌이 오죠.

You mean 6:18 - 6:30?
I just hate the people that are always shipping her with jungkook.
Ikr. So many comments in her video are about Jungkook, it feels like it's not even her music but someone else's.
Same here😂😂😂😂😂😂
i know that jungkook has a crush on her but not in a way that jk likes her romantically. maybe he likes her cuz iu is talented, etc.
@@catbadr it could be that or it's just puppy love. He could be liking IU for being a really good singer like some of us do towards any group or singers. Love is different from crush.
they get a red C A R D!!!
There is No one as good as you in terms of explaining the lyrics 😌💓
Thank you for your hard work 💓
He have same shirt like RM (BTS)
You gotta love how fearless IU is when it comes to voicing out her complaints about the public, as well as, how clever and subtle she did so. Sadly, I'm not sure how many people will actually realize the message of the song or if they'll even take it to heart.
She actually did this even before in her song "23" and "glasses", people making rumors about her and speak like it's the whole truth, when they don't even know a thing about her.
THE MV, lyrics, choreography and IU is really creative in a sense that I need DKDKTV to explain everything lol
I was jamming to it when I heard the song . But now, OMG, such deep meanings. She's so smooth.
Thank you doing the these video . They explain the music on what the artist is trying express. This is great for international fans.
IU is a very cute and fragile female entertainer. This is all the people look at her in korea so an inch of mistake or attitude can fire her with a lot of gossip. But she had enough because her music is her soul and life but people throw trash on her because of it. It is sad but true in korean culture.
IU isn't fragile at all.. she's a really strong girl with her tiny body. If u know how her life before she's famous you'll understand what I said.
@@chilldown9778 you didnt get what i mean. Im explaining how korean look at her because of this basher and she had enough of thus things. IU is a great and humble artist and a lot of her international admired her for it, including me.
@@cheRrychubz No,I just replied to your first sentence "IU is very cute and fragile female entertainer."
Korean people never see her as someone fragile at all. ofc I'll agree on "IU is very cute" because she is very cute. But I'm just gonna disagree on fragile thing. Sorry...
@@chilldown9778 I speak Spanish and I express myself better like this. And you are right. IU is very strong and her resilience is impressive. I did not like kpop it seemed very empty and superficial, for people who do not have so many responsibilities in life. But I got to admire how that slim, pretty and tender girl managed to get up after almost all the Korea accused her of pedophilia and they wrote so many insults on the internet for things that seem silly to me. And it also amazes me how she strives for what she loves her music and puts feeling and enthusiasm into it. She is someone very different in all that world of kpop because of her life and her attitude when facing life and problems. And that is what I have come to admire. She is not the most popular but she is an impressive person.
The lyrics to this song isnt hard to understand but the explanation to the music video helps me to understand the story now
I know right.
I always love her lyrics! Best lyricist 💗
It is interesting to listen to a different view at 4:21. At first when I see this scene, it remind me how at early year of her debut, she got unnecessary hate for debuting at the peak of boygroup. She even has less female fans back then. Then, as her journey to her artistry, that fans who doesnt like her becoming her fans now. She has lots of female fans than male fans. This is how that black umbrella changed to yellow (neon yellow is very special color in Uaena)
I thought of it as when she steps closer to the people talking bad about her, they instantly change their image to be like "I am like you" or "I'm your fan" by changing their umbrella color to match hers.
@dan same here
or maybe as they actually get to know her, they start to like her
I saw her back when she's promoting through Hui Yeol's Sketchbook.. she's so cute, humble and a talent singer.. yet she got neglected.. but that never put her down.. from her Ballad debut song.. up to cute + sexy Marshmallow and Boo... she finally make a breakthrough thru Naggng with 2am and later finally a sensation through Dream High and 3 octave high note song.. am really glad for her cause I've her fan since her cover of Gee and Sorry Sorry in sketchbooks...
@@scootaccess and she's loyal too! Always appear on Sketchbook first to promote her new song.
i appreciate her bravery for releasing this song with those types of lyrics. it made me adore her even more. *WE STAN A QUEEN*
I didn't know this song is that deep! Every line of the song holds such a deeper meaning, even the music videos speaks otherwise with every scene. Definitely a well thought out concept and video production, as well as IU's incredible writing credits.
wow,, I didn't knew that her song has so many messages... IU IS VERY CREATIVE !!
I enjoyed this song a lot but I was a bit confused by the lyrics so this was so helpful
I love these types of videos!! Please continue to do videos like this even if they are for older songs! Doing an analysis like this can give more meaning and depth to the songs we listen to, and personally when i finally understand all the things you explain in the video it helps me to appreciate the work that went into it! 🙏🏼🤠
Thanks for explaining IU's soft diss track. I knew that it was for haters but still had some doubts with a few parts, but now the song makes a lot more sense!
This brings more respect for IU in me
I love this content you guys make! I hope you give your full opinion on the song at the end of the video.
I think the gist of the song is that as a celebrity, she can take criticisms but only to a certain level and that she is reminding everyone that there are lines they can't cross.
Thank you so much for pointing out the change in formality during the bridge part!! It's something that no translations that I saw pointed out but it's so important to the meaning of the song! I really appreciate the content that you guys create for kpop fans and I think even though these types of videos are clearly far more challenging to make than reaction videos, it's content that we really needed even though we didn't know we needed in the first place! keep up the awesome work
Queen IU😍 i wished those who bashed her dance in this new song will watch this explanation..theyre so quick to judge her😣 thank you DKDKTV💜
they are bashing her dance? why? it's so cool
Why are they bashing her dancing?
I'm actually hooked by how cute the way she dances.
She dances as if she was born to dance.
Ugh! So tired of the negative people...
they are so jealous of her, that they always look for excuses to bash and bring her down...
I love your lyrics analysis so much. Also IU is simply amazing. Whenever I listen to one of her songs for the first time I get immediately hooked by the beat and melody and her wonderful voice, but then I read the lyrics and I fall in love. She’s an excellent lyricist and astonishing entertainer. I hope people get the message from this song and learn to show her the respect she deserves.
It is really better when you read the lyrics, and understand the meaning, everything is much more amazing by knowing the meaning or message behind it
really like your "~Explained by a Korean" series videos, very interesting for people outside of korea, with less news exposure and helps us understand the song more than just the music, but the also the message behind the songs. Thanks
Seems like half the videos you explain are about how hard it is to be famous. I'm curious as to whether that's a new trend in kpop and whether it's selection bias (that's what you're choosing to explain). Anyway, terrific content as usual.
Amy Brown
In SK many idols and artists get criticised all the time for little things and it’s ridiculous.
Seems like a bit of a trend. I doubt he wants to explain a cutesy love song or meaningless party song. But IU, BTS, Sunmi, etc. are top artists and a lot of these songs are huge hits.
@@MegaTenser Yeah, that's what I was thinking, that the more lyrically interesting songs seem to trend towards this theme and also rebellion (millenials vs boomers).
Honestly it might be trending but I think it should be more than just trending. Bc if idols keep their mouth shut and companies doesn't change their approach they by 2025 idols will be judged for breathing. I get y its trending, they are kinda fed up and since now kpop is more open to western society as well idols are more encouraged to to be themselves and not to care abt judgements.
this has really opened my eyes, IU is even more impactful and relevant than I could think
IU is so amazing and creative
she's definitely one of the best solo artists nowadays
I love IU ever since she debuted but obviously I don't speak korean...but now that I know what her lyrics actually meant and refer to, I am more and more in love with her. I saw her on Hyori bed and breakfast and realized how much of a genius she is when she wrote that lyrics with hyori. She is a very deep person, amazing musician and lyricist, and an amazing singer.
I love your way of telling a story and the way you summarize it!!
Finally I got a like from you guys...I love you guys to the core...will be joining the patreon soon!!!!!
Haters saying smth bad her
Iu: jang man weol mode on
Thanks a lot for explaining this song!! Because of your explanation, I finally know the meaning of lyrics. A little tip: The volume of the music video is way more bigger than your voice. Every time when the music video was on, I have to decrease the volume . And when it was your scene, I have to turn the sound up a bit... Hope your next video could fix this problem. Thanks again. Have a good day~
She’s such an amazing creative artist. Such class
Your explanation is spot on, thank you. IU is kind and gentle enough to send the message through her song. I love her to bits, and truly hope the public will listen to her, and treat her and the other idols just as kindly.
I love the way team IU puts it. Lyric "If you cross this line its trespassing"! I insert 'Unless' ... ? Which has the effect of leaving the door open (Song 'Fall on me' The nutcracker) under certain circumstances that are, should we say, favourable. Thence the realm of signs which are not always easy to decipher, nor meant to be in some scenarios also being multifaceted, in combinations thereof, suggesting 'The life not examined is not worth living'. Socrates.
Thank you very much for the work of translation and the delightful interpretations which underlines the multifaceted nature of symbolism or signs as you like it, running intertwined or concurrent, as social perspectives do when viewed as a whole heightening contrasts and shining. Keep up the good work, subscribed and thank you again. ✨
🙌🙌 IU is a queen speaking for the whole kpop industry, saying that they don’t owe anything. We Stan
Ya'll agree with me that this song is a bop, right?
It's not only a bop but she's so damn genius 😍😍I love herrrr
@@queensvn4678 yeah wow
yasss it's ben a year, and i still luv it! still my #1 fave song.
@@queensvn4678 yeahhh omg !!
I LOVE HER FOR THIS SONG! IT IS UP TO THE ARTISTS THEMSELVES HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO SHARE- THEY OWE US NOTHING! WE SHOULD THANK THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND NOT CRITICIZE!
Very thorough and easy-to-follow analysis. It cleared up some of my questions after seeing the MV. Great job! 👍
I was having trouble finding a translation I could trust for this song and was so relieved to see that you uploaded this! Thank you so much for what you do!
I love IU. She always write songs with substance. 😍
Really excellent piece
I have always respected her
But now I will respect her even more♡
Omg I love the analysis done here, esp the details of the set/visual cues.. keep it up!
You nailed it sir. That what is missing in korea. They don't care about the feelings of their idol.
OMG this is so good, thank you! I love the song and get the message but having it explained in detail is so much better
Love the explained series. Keep up the good work DKDKTV!!
THIS IS SO COOL, NEVER WOULDVE THOUGHT OF THOSE STUFF! THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTENING MY SHALLOW MIND
Thank you. I choose this on Twitter but saw it didnt have as many votes. When I first saw her MV I was confused. Thank soooo much for the explain videos. They are awesome 👍👏😀😄😊🤗
I love this channel so much. U are unique and thanks for explaining the lyrics! Please do more. 💜💜💜
I love this! And i ADORED HER NEW SONG💜
Thanks a lot...as a non korean speaker I really appreciate these explainations. I also love how you keep all your explanations very detailed but never prejudiced or bring in your own bias or analysis regarding the videos/lyrics or personality of singer
IU continues with another song that will definitely stir up some feelings😈❤️🤟🏽.
I never gave a damn about who she was dating and just enjoy watching her dramas and listening to music. I almost feel out of place in America where reality tv has taken the cake😅.
thanks a lot for this analysis ! i love her voice and music style that i find very inspiring but understanding the message is so much better ! not understanding a lot of korean, it's really great to finally get what a song means when we listen to it !
I love how you’re wearing a yellow sweatshirt with the word “security” on it for this music video. So satisfying 😂💕
Wow this is such a good analysis!
I love IU and loved how this song sounded. Now I know the meaning behind it, I love them both even more! 😍😍
She is such an amazing lyricist and the video is awesome
i really appreciate these videos explaining the lyrics, thank you!!
Also de "Yellow C A R D" part sounds like jealousy
After watching this I also went to the Sunmi and BTS explanatory videos witch tackle the same topic, you made a great job, those cultural references are hard for us to get as foreigners. I hope some day you analyse other of her videos, there are really pack, pretty sure we're not getting the hole idea.
agreed
This is explained so well!!! Congrats!! I understand so much more about how the lyrics correspond with the MV!! Thank you!
I loved the explanation!! But I miss you giving your sincere opinion about the mv...
Thank you
I cant help to think of sulli thanking IU for cooking her seaweed soup refer to netz comment ws like either hating on their friendship, hating on sulli or even hating on hara (supposedly one of their close friends) suits moment at 4:47
i actually thought she meant sulli when she said "that person" because idk why knetz just love to hate on sulli so much. and theyre really close friends so thats why i thought of her
Best description I have seen for her song and it's so right. I love her so much because she speaks the truth that many people are scared to in the industry, mostly from backlash (i.e.what happened to Hyuna and EDawn recently, and currently the comments on Twice's dating ban lift) that can arise from being human in a spotlight.
Forever support you and IU.
She is musical genius, my love 😍
Thank you! You definitely opened my eyes to points that I did not get at first. Awesome video!
Although I'm not a fan of the melody, I like the lyric and the message. Thank you for explaining! ♥
i really love this series. it really makes me understand the song and story of the mv more. keep it up yall! 💛
You made me like the song more! Thanks David
amazing video!!!! i cant believe i didnt put subtitles on whenever listening to it... i love this song so much, but i love it so much more after watching this vid :p
It’s also about how fans act worried when they notice something different about her like a weight change, “checki checkin” “my gosh” refers to those comments like “oh my gosh she looks too thin I’m worried.
*I love DKDK's explanations a lot thank youu ! ^^ I get amazed each time IU releases a new song. She is sooo smart and creative. I feel so proud of her*
Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos! Love how you explain them!
Btw, could you guys do one for IU's Twenty-three, Got7's hard carry or any song of DEAN?
DKDKTV, thank you so much for the interpretation of the song. I learnt a lot from your video, I didn't think so deep before this due to the uplifting beats. Thank you again. =)
#IUshi fighting😍😍😍🇵🇭
More more blessings and always saty healthy😊
Explain Love Wins All, Shh, Celebrity, etc too, please... ❤
I love this explained thing that your doing. 💜 never regret that I subscribed, as a non korean its making me understand the songs better than just reading the lyrics with english sub thank you. My favorite was baepsae and ddaeng bc it has a korean culture reference.
THIS IS THE EXPLANATION THAT I NEED ITS SO ACCURATE AND THE DETAILS ARE WELL EXPLAINED
Another great explained!
your video is soo helpful!! you are not just explained the lyrics but also the mv!! thank you!!
:'( I love IU and appreciate her so much, so this makes me really sad. Great analyzis, thanks for making the video
nice dude. and its better because you explaining it, because we dont actually know how bad is the situation IU going through (because i just enjoy her works as a musician).
i will come back and watch your content if that is as good as this one.
awesome !
Love her and this series keep it up🙌🏾😍
I really love watching these because breaking down lyrics help to understand artists so well...I wish we had these for American artists
She killed it!!!! Thanks for the explanation!
I love your explanation! I honestly just think she’s wanting people to see her frustration and now unapologetic way of communicating it through her concise lyrics. You did a great job explaining the lines in a way I didn’t think about it before!! Thank you!
Great job with the video! I feel this song can also apply to stalkers of celebrities who cross the line. Can I recommend IU's 23?! You can have look at other stuff around that was explaining it and see if you want to add a new spin to it! It's one of my fav song in terms of meaning and MV from her ~~~
