and that's why you can't spell genius without IU
woooow that's co clever
This!! 🙀🙀🙀
Omg, that's totally my favorite phrase in the world now! Thanks for this! 💜💜💜
Gabriela Oliveira daebak! your words is genius too
Clever very clever!👍
Mind blowing 🤯
Finally the Explained video world needed. She is a genius writer
I died when i realized “our colors are grey and blue” xD It’s the colors of an iphone text message
Evie Sakura 😂😂😂😂😂
SAMEEE I'VE JUST REALIZED, this make a lot of sense altough it is not official, but yes this make a lot of sense and IU is indeed a genius
Omg
It's actually official! She said that herself in the mini-album introduction
Yeah! I love how modern the lyrics are for Bluemimg and the English puns lol
Omg this is literally years of work. I love when artists plan their concepts like this
Did IU write "You and I"? I think she just took that existing song (which was a huge hit for her) and wrote two songs based on it.
@@ChrisBrengel IU didn't actually wrote the lyrics for You and I. It was Kim Eana who also wrote Good Day lyrics for IU but what IU did that is so special is that she is able grasp the concept of the prequel so well and write lyrics for the two songs which make sense showing coherency and deep messages present in the everyday world. Undoubtedly, Kim Eana was able to create a perfect outline for an actual sequel to the song and IU flawlessly execute in a manner satisfied by me and other Uaena.
It's IU version of Your Name.
Running Man 7012 yep,Your Name Was A Masterpiece Tho
@@gabri_maybe so is IU's music tho
@@leeshinmf yes it is
Thought of this too! I think she was a fan of the film, which excites me, as Your Name is one of my favorite film 💜
blows my mind when you and I released before Your Name
After watching this I really REALLY hope these songs are about an actual real person in her life and not just symbolic. And if so I hope they find their happiness together . 🥰
Didnt she date jang kiha for a few years?
@@bfa8750 yes, she met Jang Ki Ha in radio show in 2013 and Dishpact reveal their relationship in 2015 and in January 2017 Jang Ki Ha and IU broke up after date for almost 4 years.
During their time together they was in on and off relationship until January 2017 They broke up for good.
F Fa her song The Visitor makes me feel it’s about him 🤔
@@nk6781 maybe or maybe not.
Because in the visitor lyric that the line 'you dance with another people' so I guest it's about her ex who already with someone else.
In Blueming I think is about someone else because the song and the mv told about they text each other frist and then they finally meet in person.
So I guest she has new boyfriend now!
I AM Stela I really hope so I want to see her happy and in love the past year has been difficult on her
If IU announces she’s in an relationship on 12/31. I will freaking scream.
Hahahaha thinking about the same thing
GUYS It’s almost time
@@AM-ii9zw it was just a continuation of the MV from U & I , the couple shown in it then is reunited at the date of 311219. Why would she announce her relationship publicly ?
She did aaaahhhhhhhh
OMG. I can't believe she actually did!!!
Ok now I need "IU Not Aging in Nearly a Decade...Explained by a Korean". I stand by Hotel Del Luna actually being a documentary of her life 🤣
STAYkind omg fat agree
I seriously need the explaination too 😂😂
So right! Maybe thats why its about "transcending time" too
Well she debuted in early teens. It's not like it's been 40 yrs
@@arain764niara she's gone from a teen girl to a grown woman but still looks exactly like that teen girl. It hasn't been 40 years but it HAS been a solid decade and all that's changed is she lost a bit of baby fat
Aside from how the three songs are connected, I feel that blueming is very interesting because it is telling the story behind flirting over texting, which happens a lot in today's society. How it is thrilling and fun and giving us all kinds of emotion. It is amazing how she could tell it through many metaphors that we didn't even think about before. Like how grey and blue is a chat balloon, at first I thought she was just picking random color but it is actually very meaningful. Also like how she is feeling sad when she checks that her 'box' is empty, suddenly there are blue roses blooming in her garden, really pictures out how we often got upset when our texts got ignored, but how easy it is for us to get all happy again over multiple texts reply. And also the conversation at the beginning, how she is quickly getting up from bed after receiving a text. It is fun to watch because I did that often ahahah. If old love songs tell stories about how love progresses through letters, fancy dates etc, I love how IU brought out online love theme, it hits me hard because once I understand what it means it does really relatable to nowadays society. She is INDEED a genius.
for her sake I hope the overall theme of finally arriving at a place of dating without fear is true to life, even if it still will be kept out of the public eye for her and her partner's sanity.
Is it me or what... but IU always seems to entangle with time-ish concept a lot.
1. You and I - wants to travel to the future
2. Scarlet Heart - traveled to the past and then went back to the present
3. Hotel del luna - timeless beauty goddess
4. Above the time...
Edit: OMG YOU GUYS AGREE WITH MEEE 😍😍 !! thanks for the likes I'm waiting for IU's Next project 💙💜💙💜
omg ikr
In Red Shoes too! She wishes she could freeze time so the guy won't leave her behind
When she reincarnated after Hotel Del Luna and grown up, the story continues in My Mister.
(I know the male lead's character setup is not the same but the age is almost matched, Ha)
Plus in hotel del luna she was way older maybe she got intrigued by portraying an older woman's role?
I know right... Iu is all about time(clock) itself💜💜💜
Jang Man Wol's flowers in Hotel Del Luna are also blue.
omyghadd mindblownnn
LOL! Good point!
Omg yessss I just realised
purple
jasmine its violet and blue
No wonder IU doesn't age, she keeps on time-traveling HAHAHAH
Joana `Jamolin HAHAHHAHA
HAHAHAH- panic
Truth🤷🤷
Lol😂
hahahahaha nicee
I just love this concept and how she brought Lee Hyun Woo back for it!
That was pretty smart! Yet another clue that the videos are connected. What made it obvious to me was the goose.
and he just came back from military early this year
I wonder if Dec 31st she will reveal she's dating someone. That's be genius!
Maybe or maybe dispach will be reveal it for her 😊
I AM Stela 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Kooku 💜
@@iamstela4012 let's hope not, that'll be a major invasion of her privacy. It'll be better if she revealed it willingly
@@tree1291 not necessarily. Dispatch actually asks the companies first so the idols know beforehand; since they always release something January 1st I would rather someone that already is giving hints to the public than somebody else.
IU is musically genius!!! I love ur explanation...
I think she is talking about a "soulmate" love
what if it's connected to soulmate by zico ft. iu!!??
it is more twine flame i think than soulmate
@@lemadelena2769 yeah could be🤔
@@audreyy3057 exactly, and the balloons could be connected to Zico's new song called Balloon??? I've always had a feeling they would end up together and tbh I ship them
LEMA DELENA true
The fact that she puts so much effort and thought into her mv's and lyrics is one of the reasons why I stan her! I never regretted it!💓
Uaena (U = You, ae = Love, na = Me)
@@nyumiliz4385 Thank you so much!!😌
Wow that's deep lol... But I don't think IU had control over her career back in You and I era, that wasn't even her lyrics... So that makes me think it wasn't based on reality. But now she has full control and decided to give an optimistic end for the characters, and the theory was created by the director of the mv . About blueming, this one I believe it's inspired by her love life.. I hope she's happy with someone, and don't get hate when the news come out.
She did have some control back in You and I era,though. Like, she was finding composers for her album by herself, because the company didn't quite know what she wanted. And before that, she wrote a drama OST.
@@theguitar7411 The point is, Kim Eana wrote the lyrics to that song.
Media and fans will be happy with whoever her bf is unless he is not younger than her by 4 years or 10 years older and not from very popular groups which is least likely
@@myingmadomasherpa3038 the important thing is her happiness not the fans and media
@@hanaedianne2940 indeed, but it's the sad truth. For me, I will forever support and love her and like most uaenas seek her comfort, happiness and satisfaction over anything.
In her MV Beautiful dancer, there are a young girl and quite a bit older (still a child) boy. May be that MV is related as well, because in Above time the first thing they do was dancing together.
The song visitor also is about someone who dances very well, a person that she couldn’t forget. The chorus have questions like “why i love you, why i think of you, why i sing about you and why you?”
respect to IU's parents naming her Jieun cause it really fits her... She is an amazing author :)
Sometimes I feel that IU transcends time and this space. It's like she is an ancient soul who fills the world with a breath of ethereal beauty. . .
That was said so poetically ✨❤️
She's such an incredible artist 💙
If this is true and they announce their relationship, that would be soo cute:P
i guess she will announce it soon 🙀
dude I'm literally rooting for this
she probably won’t, i bet it’ll just be a music vid lol
She probably won't because they exist in a place where nobody can find them
I think its her Jang Kiha..I think they are back together..when she said "Act2" its to obvoius & the blue flower mean live at first sight, before she always said that it was love at first sight with Jang Kiha..wish her happiness..🥰🥰🥰
I seriously love how mature all the Uaena are!! I'm glad that everyone is respecting her decisions in if she'll announce being in a relationship or not. This is a very mature fandom, and I really do respect that. Thank you!! :D
We can see that he worked hard to make a really interesting explanatory video, it was such a good video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We can really tell that IU has really something special not just an ordinary singer she has something that she has only have. IU is really passionate about the music that help us everyone connect to her music even if we have a laguage difference IU is really talented so in the future i will not be shocked if her career will bloom more cause she is something special that makes her self standout from other singers .
IU is briliant, not just singer, she make a unbelivable concept, wonderfull
She's one of my very favorite solo artists!! Very brilliant
Plot twist: IU will drop another MV on December 31, 2019.
I swear if she will, I'm gonna roll on the floor with the goose!
EDIT: OMFG!!! I WAS RIGHT! IU POSTED A CLIP THIS DAY (12/31/19)!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Its December 31st! Here to remind you!
I'm waiting sksksk
Hahaha omg! Thank you for reminding guys. I'm now looking for a goose to roll with. A man can dream. Lol.
IU official youtube have new post
MIND BLOWN. IU IS SUCH A GENIUS 🔥🔝😳
Y'all remember when IU and Hyun Woo had dating rumors? I just suddenly remembered how dating another idol in Korea is forbidden and now IU is old enough to make her decisions ,she's old enough to love whoever she loves.
15:37 that's actually a gray rose if you look closely and also that that gift box is gray since it was sent by the guy. In her lyrics she says 'our colours are gray and blue' and that's what the colours actually are when two people text so that's why it's gray because he is sending her texts
IMAGINE WAITING 8 FLIPPIN YEARS TO CONTINUE THIS SERIES I LOVE IU S O MUCH
I M ACTUALLY ASTOUNDED. THE AMOUNT OF THOUGHT AND MEANING BEHIND THESE SONGS ARE CRAZY AND TO THINK THAT SHE HAD BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR 8 YEARS AMAZES ME. SHE IS A GENIUS. AND I M SO PROUD OF HER
DKDKTV, I was waiting forever for you to release a video explaining IU latest videos since you guys did such a great job with BBIBBI. You did not dissapoint. Great summary as always and a huge fan.
This is the reason why she writes lyrics first before melody, such a genius!
Wow IU is really a *beautiful genius!*
My thoughts are this is a long distance relationship, iu is waiting for the time the guy returns in you and i, above the time just explains the loneliness and impatience she's been through with only music, while also showing her imagination in the scene where she meets the man, and blueming is them finally meeting
I love this interpretation. One thing that adds to this is that their colors are grey and blue, the way texts appear when you're talking with someone (your messages are blue, theirs are grey). Everything she recieves from him is grey, while all her gifts are blue.
That man is blessed by all the gods we might or might not know of! The world will envy whoever that man is.. wish i was him 🙃
In conclusion, *IU IS A GENIUS.* Periodt.
she's finally found her soulmate and in love now. im so happy for her 💙
Love the series on iu explanations
Ugh!! If IU actually started dating someone after this, I would wholeheartedly support her!! She has been working so damn hard since she stepped into the spot light, I would be dammed if I can't see her happy and doing something for herself!!
and if the guy is an idol, I hope his fans don't put shit on IU.
Yeah i agree
I think its Jang Kiha..i think they are back together when she said " Act2" its to obvious..Blueflower mean love at firstsight & she always said it was love at first sight with Jang Kiha..
Thank you for the interesting interpretation of IU 3 MVs.
Just a few general personal thoughts after watching the video.
If we are talking about the connection of the MVs, i believe that blueming is not connected to above the time or you & i.
As IU mention, above the time is the continuation of you & i based on the 2 main character love story. She felt that they needed an ending and the date 31th dec 2019 was her inspiration. Blueming is a separate MV with different theme.
If we are talking about the connection of her lyrics between the 2 songs, than we need to talk about her whole album. The 6 songs lyrics are connected to each other based on the theme love. I think this would give more justice to her ability as a lyricist.
I Agree, IU album always have a connection from each song. Since the first Album She produced. Chat Shire (it's all about her, the song about being 23, her grandma/glasses, Red Queen/Sulli, Knee/her perspective about the book she love, etch its personal), Palate (Humanity feeling). This Love Poem too about humanity feeling but the perspective with more board, the visitor i think from the characters in Persona Netflix who died, Above the time it can be HDL, Blueming, her perspective about love letter but in digital era, etc. Who knows. 🤔
This is so romantic and cute!!! Thanks for translating so well explaining all the meanings even of the mvs. Btw i love when korean mvs are so cool and detailed with meanings!
Mi pn manu
Not only IU is cute, she's also a genius.
I think she secretly graduated from Harvard
Harvard MBA LMAOOOO
Lol, but you don't have to graduate from Harvard to be a genius 😜as can be seen by IU
Maybe she learned from Ku Chang Song 😂
I'm here because finally IU revealed who her lover is 💜 and I feel like this is sooo realllll 💜💜💜
omg yasss been waiting for someone to explain this mv
*me:* */dancing to blueming
*also me:* */watched this video
*me after:* */dancing and crying to blueming
This was a much needed EXPLAINED video. Thank you DkDk!!
This was so cool I was nearly screaming the whole time. IU should write some crazy time travel dramas, I need to watch that
This is incredible record breaking innovation and intelligence of IU. My stanning ascends 10 levels.
From what I know, though doesn’t exist naturally in nature, blue rose can be grown now which made the flower change meaning into miracle. Probably saying that their love is a miracle that can transcends time and space.
Had been waiting for this😍 no better than dkdktv💖
The fact that they look the same cant be overlooked... what if hes a physical representation of her mature/older/future self. Idk maybe not romantic love at all?
it can be, since IU love to write about humanity. Like, Heart is such a nice song, yet she write it purely inspiring for her fans, not a romance relationship at all. She is an actress too, it can be this song her perspective from Hotel De Luna characters the Female lead and Male Lead, it just the time is pass Lee Hyun Woo Enlisted and it will fun too continue the You & I, i remember she write Bad Day despite people teasing her "is that song an answer to Good day?" But it's separate thing.
Whatever the fact IU want to reveal or want to tell from her works, I hope She can be happy forever. She is such an inspiration, maybe I am not Uaena, but been following Her since a long time and I love all her works... She is genius💕💕💕
And I love your explanation too! Its so details and nice 💕💕💕
What can we say? She has 1, 300 years of experience on this. She knows time better than anyone in this world. : D
I’ve been waiting for this .... thank youuuuuuuuuuu
Thank you for decoding each songs. That was wonderful. I loved how clearly you laid everything! Loved it! More to go! God bless!
Once again, a brilliant job! 💝
Don't forget the symbolism of a goose is loyalty
Jungkook.. Loyal to her for so many years..!
@@zheihan i don't think sis
i was waiting for this video
I love her so much! She literally deserves all the happiness the world has to offer!❤️❤️❤️
I’ll definitely support her and give her and her possible love life the respect it rightfully deserves!!!!🥰😭❤️
(But I’ll surely be upset if this means she’s going to retire😭😭😭)
i was actually waiting for your reaction.
wenna sanchez me too thanks guys
Absolutely loved this. And the metaphor of the grey and blue balloons is so real!
Oh David WOW! Thank you so much for such an in-depth explanation for all three videos. It is so great to see IU's creativity and thoughts and feelings in her songs. I can't even comprehend the restrictions these young Korean artists have endured through being so thoroughly managed and then to have the Korean public judge your every move. She has weathered it all and has grown so strong in her songs and acting, it's a joy to stan her.
In conclusion,
*stan IU*
IU is so smart and a wonderful artist.
Right when I start listening to IU, this comes out thank you!!!
Finally
I was so impatient , I even dm David for this but obviously he didn't replied 🤣 but thanks 💙
finally! Someone explained it clearly!!! Thanks David! You are a genius!
Am i the only one to get chills for the whole explainations and the beautiful work IU has done?
Loved this explain. On another note, every time I see their picture at the end with the goggles I think "is this supposed to be an experimenting/exploding-stuff channel?" xD
amazing video david!! Thank you soo much
Daebakk!! I love the explanation and the connections of the songs are very interesting. Rooting for more of these in the future 💕💙💖💘
that’s why above the time mv is a surprise to fans and you must watch it first then watch blueming....
Am i the only one that keeps thinking of Jiyong (G-dragon)... He fits perfectly. when she was 19 he was 24, which was the you and I era. 2019 he got released from military duties as well...
Oemji i hope really so
i hope too.. i want Gd to have his own family. i want him to be happy🌼
This is genIUs! I always admire songwriters/lyricists who can write songs with stories and plot twists just like the songs on these video. ❤️
Hi!! I'm a long time subscriber of yours, and I'm writing today because I absolutely loved this video. Please continue to chronicle the IU UNIVERSE. It's super important to her Western audience!! 감사합니다!!
Genius as always. If it's a signal that you want to date openly then go date, love and get married. I will always be here to support you. Uaena forever!
Finally a video that explains the connection of You and I, Above the Time and Blueming I can share with my friends who never followed IU before and all told me "I DON'T GET IT". I tried so hard to explain to others to my frustration. Thank you.
Thank you David, DKDKTV💙
Yes... Was waiting for this
I think Above time was made to be related to You and I, but Blueming was totally unrelated... Blueming is just about two people who like each other texting. At the beginning the shaking is just a way to represent the mobile phone buzzing indicating that a message has arrived and she wakes up and goes to the mail box to check (like we do with our phones). And I have read that it’s blue and gray because of the colors of the messages on iMessage (blue is the sender and gray the other person). And all the lyrics are about texting and that anticipation feeling so it’s not related to the other songs at all... she just wanted to release a ballad and an upbeat song that more people would like.
I did mention, if we were to stay true to the lyrics its simply about the vibration of the phone and word balloons of txt msgs. However, could you explain the blue rose she drew on his palm in above the time? Plus the lyric similarities such as ‘author’, ‘secret garden’. I do believe to a certain extent they are connected. It is the start of Act 2.
DKDKTV don’t you think this song could be that she died and is talking about meeting him again in the afterlife or in another life ? She could be waiting for him to die too and meet her in between (like in hotel del Luna). And maybe he went to the rooftop in the cold weather to die and fantasied about meeting her again in this wonderful place which is the afterlife, but he was not able to die and the clock was gone because he forgot about her and she was able to climb the ladder to “heaven” because of that. But the blue rose could mean that she was marking him to recognize him in another life (which could be blueming because they met again and are getting to know each other from the start).
Bruh, its cuz all the music videos are connected some parts lyrically but most parts visually
I also don't think there's connection between above the time and blueming but yes what you said about imessage is true.She also said this in her vlive. Also behind her photocards there are text messages in blue and gray (like in iphone). I think currently she's dating someone😊😊😊
@@DKDKTV The blue rose can easily be explained as an ode to the symbol of her new album, which is a blue rose. I don't think there is any deep meaning there. :)
Is IU have an wide thinking all of the things she can do. Sing, write a song,dance, act,and help the others.
As always, David, I love your Explained videos. Thank you for explaining the IU universe 💙
I was hoping you’d upload! Thanks!
Omg! You are soo good at explaining about IU's song😍thank you🖒
Finally IU expresses her true feelings tru her songs😍😍😍😍...IU is IU😍😍a super multi talented one🖒🖒💙💜😍
i dont know how many goosebumps i had when i watched this video. IU is literally a Genius. OMO
@DKDKTV Great video! I could tell there was a connection between "You and I" and "Above the Time" but I had no idea there was so much! Thanks.
Been waiting for this explanation!!!
who’s here after watching the “eight” mv👀
I'm happy for IU if she really have a love life now. Awww.... She deserve it. And If this all song is real base on her love life for ne its so cute hahha
Wow! Just the explanation I was looking for. Thanks thanks! 😌
I was waiting for this video since the release of above the time ❤️
So basically IU is preparing to reveal that she probably fell in love with someone older than her? Can't wait to hear the good news!
We don't know who is it. It could be older than her or younger than her or same age, but she finally ready if public or media find out who is her boyfriend now.
I feel like its jungjukjae
@@milasukhu not him I think someone else 😅
@@iamstela4012 who do u think...hypothetical
Honestly I think its that moon lovers guy
I think what’s amazing is that there isn’t a right or wrong answer. The beauty of IU’s work and any great artists’ work is that anybody can interpret it in many different ways and people can discuss about it. Which IU is accomplishing amazingly at it. 👏🏻
Thank you so much for this excellent video! @DKDKTV You made it so well I'm literally speechless.
It's just a weird and happy feeling to discover this romantic side of IU 😍😍🥰🥰💘💘
amazing video! thank you guys for the effort of discovering all these details and making such a nice clear explanation!
