⇘ WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?! ⇙
Supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”. I’ve been into Korean music since 1998 when I was 15, and since then, an "OG KPOP STAN" was born. For a bit of dance background details, feel free to check out my "About" section!

Im 100% that this pre-chorus is what Heaven actually sounds like.
홀씨 is translated to spore in English. She's basically saying that instead of being a flower, she wants to be more like a spore of Dandelion, so that she can spread her music everywhere
IU is always like that lots of symbolism and lots to unpack. I just really love Holssi, there is something they got so right that made us feel like floating and free, capable of doing what is hard. I can1t wait for you to unpack the MV of Shopper hahhahah there are SOOOO MANY details!
Ahh yeah and she did her first tiktok challenge with holssi
Between the new IU songs and the new Le Sserafim, we're being spoiled this week. This is great.
And BiBi also.
i think tweety bird = caged bird = got stuck in celebrity(iu), and flaoting people = like dandelion flying seed = freedom
Loved every single second of this song
The "rap" part gave me major BiBi vibes and because of that now i need this collab to happen because that would simply be the best thing to ever happen.
IU is TOP-TIER
Top soloist in Kpop for a reason. 5 no 1 albums - 21 No. 1 singles (plus a number of top 10). The nation's fairy.
From the little bit of research I did, Holssi apparently means "spore" lol a flower or dandelion spore
IU beautiful voice always surpass you're expectations but I'm wondering what creative ideas came to her when she was writing the song in the recording studio
Maybe I'm overthinking, but I think that the scene where the dancers are flying and there are clothes on the ground can be connected with the end of "Love wins all", when the camera (love lens) films the two lovers "flying"... 😍
Thank you for your reaction! Somehow always can feel your sincerity in every of your reaction ♡ IU Shopper just come out too, another different sound by her, excited to know about your point to that.
Thank you for the great reaction and analysis of this IU song !
Fun fact, there’s a TikTok dance challenge she made for this song! 😊
Hol =Dandylion ssi = seed the colloquial meaning is seed or spore.
HOL = Dandylion ssi = Seed colloquial use means seed or Spore
FYI:The yellow ball type object you see is actually on the power lines so that the lines can be seen by aircraft.
Here is my take on this video.
The fact that it was shot in LA, 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. And by filming here & using LA has a back drop and American dancers she is establishing a connection to her Western audience.
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.
The opening scene of the figure floating is IU as she is coming to LA. The disruption the we see her on the ground looking across at LA. She has used this type of device before. Specially in Above the Time and Blueming (the vibration shown in the cup of water and then the shaking in Blueming, those 2 videos along with You & I as Pt1 and. Strawberry Moon as the final part make up a trilogy +1 story concerning a decade) to show a disruption in the Time/Space/Dimension continuum.
Analyzing the Song's lyrics from this perspective
Where I lay will be somewhere much higher (by higher she doesn't mean better but rather higher risk then before. And obvious reference to the West in General and the US in particular.)
She spreading herself like Dandylion spores on the wind. (Which are carried by the wind carelessly without regard for boundaries or borders.)
She isn't going to settle on smooth ground (i.e. she is going to land and try to take root on comfortable easy terrain).
She says she is a single spore (a soloist).
On a different road. (No Korean who has only been a soloist and not part of a group o born or raised in an English speaking country has ever successfully done what IU is doing )
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. And take this journeywith her)
I'll fly in the center for everyone to see (like her last 4 indoor concerts in the round, she wont shy away or hide from the spotlight)
The sky above is blinding. (All the lights and attention will be blinding. But she'll have her sunglasses)
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 ( the pressure and heat will be scorching she knows but 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 in typical IU fashion)
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 who passed away by suicide and " who 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. )
May God be with ya (everyone take care of themselves. Again in Typical IU fashion while many are worried about her she is worried about all her fans and wants them to be happy and safe)
Se, see ya (she said goodbye)
Tweety bird reference is definitely important and significant. A profile picture I saw has Tweety dressed like IU. So this reference becomes a little clearer. IU is likening herself to Tweety. Always returning to the cage which isn't a prison but rather a safe and comfortable place. Whch I suspect includes in addition to Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong Singapore etc all the places she has regularly toured ever since she started touring outside of Korea in 2017. Could it be IU's way of saying that she is leaving the cage and it's safety and comfort to see how high she can fly. To which I say go Tweety go we are all with you.
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.
Its funny you said it's "ADORable", as it gives me so much of a Newjeans vibe.
I like your reaction 👍 you got it right 😊
