The description on the video explains the concept: 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.
I'm really sorry to leave a comment that has a negative connotation to it, but... One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say IU is the Taylor Swift of Korea. I have nothing at all against Taylor Swift. I want to make that clear. I just don't understand the comparison. I get that they have a somewhat similar image and they both get inspiration for their lyrics often from their own diaries, but from what I can tell that's where their similarities end. IU seems to be much more respected and and adored by the entire nation of South Korea than Taylor Swift is by America. Tho, America is vastly bigger than SK, so that's a point in Taylor's favor on that part of my argument, but I still think IU is more respected just in general by those who know of her. Again, nothing against Taylor. Just my point of view. But as for facts, IU is a much more skilled vocalist. And by a lot! Not to mention, IU also has an acting career. And her talent as an actress is becoming nearly as well received as her talent as a musician. Also, since IU is finally embarking on her first world tour, I can guarantee she is about to blow tf up! I dare to even say she could surpass Taylor Swift even in the American market one day. And everyone else! She has that kind of gift. We haven't even seen her final form. Nowhere near it. Bet. All that being said, I apologize again for complaining in your comment section. You did lead off with the fact that you love IU so that alone wins me over, I just get triggered by the comparison of her and Taylor. Still giving a thumbs up on the video tho.

True her vocal range is crazy!
Korea is so lucky to have IU🤩 her artistry is incomparable!
Really like your reaction. Would love to see more IU. She is one of a kind…
The Warner Bros credit is for use of Tweety. That song had near zero instrumentation. Background vocals were used as instruments.

Now I'm thinking "Holssi" and her another song "Shopper" could be related 😆 not that I surprise because it's IU 🐥💜
