As an 🆔 (B.I's fandom), here is why this song matters to us: he released this song to express how he felt after being kicked out of his former group, iKON - he was their leader and produced the majority of their tracks, getting them major wins, and was the youngest and only k-pop idol to win 'composer of the year'. He was described as 'the next GD'. B.I has struggled a lot through multiple survival shows to get to where he is. Basically - when he describes there being a 'beach at the end of his sleeve', it's because he has wiped so many tears with it.
Correction : Not composer of the year but Songwriter of the year & also Production of the year for iKON in 2018 cuz basically because he produce all of iKON album while before only yg & other producer who win that awards but B.I made it all possible cuz he was the one responsible for all iKON releases back then
coming out of the water is kinda showing a heavy topic in korea because many korean s word by jumping into the han river. after b.i got kicked out of ikon he kinda can say lost everything because from young age when he was 14 years old he tried so hard and build ikon he put almost all his energy and life on ikon the group was basically his whole life he sacrificed so much for the sake of the group it was his youth and all his wishes so after he got kicked out he wasn't sure he wanted to come back to music or not but after getting so much support from his fans after 2 yesrs he finally decided to came back. illa illa and the whole waterfall album is his experience in those 2 years how he felt how he was doing the songs and the album is so personal and raw. this particular scene in illa illa can portray his feelings when he thought about doing that thing as he before indirectly said he thought about doing it multiple time, the music video is part of his story he wanted to do it but survived the way he kept running and running from all those scary feelings and things he experienced in the 2 years the way the people around him stayed with him and helped him and at the end he could find the light and smile again and decided to build a sandcastle again and again, even though he knows it can be crumble again but he won't give up and will build it again. i hope this explanation can be helpful
@@DifferentlyAlike thank you for taking your time listening to his music i'm happy that this explanation could be helpful and help you understand illa illa better. non-fans and casual listeners getting confused while watching illa illa and listening to waterfall is kinda unavoidable since not everyone knows b.i story haha his first album was so meaningful and wasn't just a debut for him and his fans the waterfall album tells a story about him and his experience maybe listening to flow away, help me, then and numb in waterfall album can help you understand his story better since those songs are so raw and he straight up talking about his story there, then is his first response to fans after taking hiatus and explain things there. waterfall is so personal so it's ok if casual fans can't get the whole story while listening to it since they don't know his whole experience, if you can enjoy his music it's already so pleasant i'm sure b.i already get so happy to see people can enjoy his music and fans are always ready to explain if anyone get confused listening to waterfall album. i hope you listen to more of his songs he's a really good music producer and also writes really beautiful lyrics too.
Hanbin is literally one of a kind. A producer, song writer, can easily be an actor, model, ceo, rapper and singer. HE IS TOO PRECIOUS AND SO TALENTED TO WE NEED TO PROTECT HIM
i cant even explain the love and admiration i have for this man. he has gone through so much and im so happy that he can once again express himself. Not only that but he can do it in a way that he doesnt have to follow anyone else and anyone elses rules. Please please please react to him more and check out everything he is doing, he deserves so much love.
this song in particular holds such a special place for us fans but also him.. we waited over 2 years for it after he left Ikon. I still tear up listening to it. The best part of the MV is when he is finally smiling! He spend so many years trying to prove his worth to everyone. He produced so many songs for his group and other groups as well and I cant imagine how hard it was for him to leave his ikon members. To make a long story short im just so happy he gets to be doing what he loves again!
The recording studio scene REALLY gives goosebumps because: First - this is his debut mv after the “you-know-what” Second- this is effing emotional because finally, he’s making music again. Third- the thought of Hanbin in the recording studio AGAIN. As an iKONIC and an ID, I really struggled and bawled my eyes out when he left and especially when he came back. Like- after 2 years, the songwriter of the year writes a song again- oh shocks this makes me so emotional all over again.
When you were talking about the blanket it reminded me of the lyrics of Midnight Blue, the first solo song he released after his hiatus - “Again, facing the night is your heart. I’ll keep it warm with a blanket. Holding back tears at night is your life. I’ll pretend I don’t know” You’re right, he is a very warm and reassuring presence to us.
Finally haha ! This is my favorite song from him it really has a special place in my heart, it gives of such hopefull yet nostalgic vibes, I could talk about it for hours ! The lyrics are so beautiful and it reflects so much of what he’s been through…He just does great music and write such pretty lyrics Also I agree with Esosa the end is my fav part too, it just hits a special way
He is a Phoenix, an inspiration, such a good guy. I remember I can't watch this mv without crying, we waited for 2 years, we were grateful he did not give up. He is literally the most talented artist in korea? I mean who did it like him? No one come close. Perfect artist. You need to read his lyrics when you react to his song. Pls react to him more, I recommend you to react to Waterfall performance video and Keep the fire alive. Thank you
thank you for this reaction. when it comes to havinge the best lyrics, you won't ever go wrong with Hanbin's songs. he's literally one of the best lyricist.
he has a lot of master pieces in varies of genre but still illa illa has a special place in my heart. don't even know how to describe it but Hanbin himself and illa illa are my home.
He’s charisma is not a joke ,handsome,genius,visual,composer,produce,written,vocal,rapper etc he can do anything,and I come here many times cause I like your reaction
This man is amazing. He's multi-talented! He can sing, ichor, play some guitar… He's been around long enough to understand why everyone thinks he's that way. There are so many of us out there, the one thing I know is he's more like a rock star than a singer. It's a weird little thing to say. The one thing I know is that people get really scared of him because they can hear a real voice, and he has that. But we're gonna play out some songs now that'll probably get a huge audience. I think that's what makes this music a great thing to do. And then the other thing is he's one of the greatest vocalists in the world. I mean, there's all these young singers out there, I just think that this could be an absolutely amazing musical journey.
I'm so happy you love illa illa. Hanbin truly is comfort personified. I only recently discovered your channel after your BTBT video. I love your reactions so much, and I'm almost done watching all of your videos 💓
Thank you for reacting to more B.I.. Illa illa is still my favorite title track & song from him.. The lyrics is very poetic but it still convey the message he wanna deliver to us so yes it's very meaningful cb, song, & album too.. Hope to see more of you guys reaction to him with Cosmos MV, all the performance films, visualizer, etc
I can't even describe how much, like HOW much I cried when he first released this MV. I cried like crazy. his album too. It was the biggest Red Flag album I have listened in my whole life. His story how he must leave the group even though he spend his life for the group impressed me so much. I was just happy that he is still alive.
Love this song! Thank you for reacting to this. So glad you did another after the BTBT reaction. Please do react to more of his songs. He’s sooooo good, no?!
I can relate. Everytime I look at B.I it gives me pleasant feeling. He has that soft features that gives you a sense of comfort. His smile is so pure and he looks so innocent like a baby. He's a breath of fresh air. Like how his songs always touch my heart. 🥰💕
I hope you read my comment.. First, thank you so much for the reaction. B.I fans called ID, we are so proud of B.I and so happy so many people appreciation his songs, and I also happy you guys react to his music more.. There are a lot of B.I's music, and I hope you check those out. I love your channel, I love your reaction ❤️ Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I’ve found you guys channel through your B.I reactions & I’ve never subscribed so fast. Can tell you guys really pay attention to what you’re watching & can feel exactly what we feel when we watch/listen to his content. Wish your channel all the success & can’t wait for more B.I reactions 🥹
thank you for checking out Hanbin's music! i hope you can check out more of his works because this man never disappoints. not only does he make good music with beautiful lyrics, he's also very active in doing charity work. please check out Midnight Blue. it's a song from his album Love Streaming where all proceeds and copyright fees will go to the children in need in kr and abroad. He also donated all proceeds of his "Waterfall" album sales to a project in helping girls and women's rights in Africa.
I like to think the MV is showing a story. This was released as his return album after going through a depressing time after an unfair scandal. In Korea, someone in a suit going to the beach is usually indicative of a suicide attempt. The MV starts with him "surviving the suicide attempt", possibly with newfound drive to continue living and pursuing his dreams despite the difficulties. The beginning section where it's night time represents the struggles and feelings of entrapment, possibly leading to his suicide attempt. The middle (first rap verse) depicts the thoughts he went through leading up to the moment; the middle chorus begins to highlight his current state of mind of appreciating the life he still has; the final rap verse is likely coming to terms with the struggles; and the final hype section is his drive to continue pursuing life regardless of the challenges up ahead, that he knows the "sandcastle will crumble again" but he'll continue building it. The interesting and beautiful thing is he refers to waves very often, especially when it is in front of his eyes in the chorus section. Notice the end when they show him in the studio... they show sound waves of the music recording! AKA MUSIC! The waves metaphorically referred to the music, and the suicide attempt was referring to his consideration of career suicide. Should he give up on music? Ah, but it's everywhere around him and its sweeping him up again. Nope, he's going to try to build that sand castle again and jump back in to the music industry. And there he is at the end of the bridge, standing right at the "gateway" ready to move forward.
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. BTBT is my fav song. I only heard this one a handful of times and it was ok. But seeing the MV with u for the 1st time and hearing the song. I like it more now. Like the latin vibe. He is pretty. Love his smile. His voice is very nice too and i liked his rap. Hugs. --NY USA 2019 Army💜
illa illa is not just a song. Its his life story in the form of the lyrics. This song depicts the most difficult time of his life. Yet almost telling us at the end that he is not giving up.. its not over yet . Its his REBIRTH
Thank you , BI lyrics so meaningful ....He is rapper,singer, songwriter ( he got songwriter of the years in 2018 in korea ), producers, composers, dancer, owner 131 label and executive director of iok company. But if you like BI dance, you need reaction to performance film or dannce practice ..... BI always dance for his song.
this was his hardest music video because he had to run for basically all the clips, he even said that he was so happy that everyone loved this song, since he put soo much effort into it.
The songs in B.I's solo debut album WATERFALL are very raw and emotional. He said he wrote those songs during his hiatus. And for illa illa, he said he wrote this at the time he felt alone and abandoned 😭 btw illa illa got a remix english version called LOST AT SEA with Bipolar Sunshine and Indonesian star Afgan. It got a lyric video on his channel. Hopefully you can also check out B.I's WATERFALL (live film and performance film in that order 😅), KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE and NINETEEN
Aww finally you react to his masterpiece illa illa . This is so precious and sentimental to us 🆔s his fandom . Thank you so much . By the way theirs a dance performance of illa illa if u wanted you can check it out too. And pls check it waterfall performance film & dance performance as well it’s super dope. 🥰
he's not just 'kpop group rapper' 'general group rapper' tho 😢 he's a rapper RAPPER. it was his dream since he was in middle school. please react to Keep The Fire Alive (Alive + Flame), Waterfall and Illusion if you want more rapper b.i :) thank you for reacting! ❤️
oh no B.I. is no normal "kpop idol group rapper".. he been rappin since hes been a child. Jackson said it best.. there are people who rap and there are rappers.. and B.I is a rapper
Thank you for another reaction of B.I music. illa illa/Waterfall Album is too personal for him, hope more people feel, enjoy/appreciate, relate to Kim Hanbin music.
Because of the stuff he went through and getting kicked out from ikona and yg , he made his own label called 131 Label where he started his solo career and wrote and produced and even had a hands in other parts of his solo music.Most of ikons music befire he left is written and produced by him so you guys should definitely check out their stuff before and after BI as well cause they ares till a very talented and authetic group
You must always watch out BOBBY music videos and iKON music videos: Rhythm Ta Dumb and Dumber WYD Killing Me Love Scenario I'm Ok Goodbye Road What's Wrong Dive Why why why But You B.I Cosmos MV Keep the fire Alive Waterfall performance video Waterfall BOBBY U Mad MV Love and Fall album FAVORITE iKON live performance that you need to watch ( iKON MAMA 2016 )
Like BTBT, illa illa is also an onomatopoeia. They are nonsense words, gibberish, or non-lexical vocables, or how you will call them, that Hanbin made up while writing the songs. BTBT refers to the the way one would stagger while looking at someone who is insanely beautiful, and illa illa refers to the rolling of ocean waves. I think Hanbin is a gifted writer and has always been really creative and experimental with words and sounds; these two song titles really capture his poetic talent.
Well well I saw your BTBT reaction and loved it 🥰🥰 I also loved the song so much that I made dance reel immediately on my Insta do watch it I tried my best ☺

@@masss-hc1uh Thank you for the correction, 🆔! 😁
Correction :he’s not kicked out.he’s withdrawn voluntary / resign by himself
he was not kicked out. he left to save iKON. He's the backbone of iKON, he build iKON so he doesn't want to ruin it because of the scandal.
@@mordecai891 dont debate,only god and ikon and hb who knows it 🤣🤣
B.I a rapper , songwriter, producer, dancer, CEO , vocalist, he’s a ACE
choreographer to
he described illa illa as a wave in the end of the videos, it was actually a sound waves (music). Here, B.I aka Kim Hanbin is BACK!!
if you write illa illa in cursive, it looks like waves
coming out of the water is kinda showing a heavy topic in korea because many korean s word by jumping into the han river. after b.i got kicked out of ikon he kinda can say lost everything because from young age when he was 14 years old he tried so hard and build ikon he put almost all his energy and life on ikon the group was basically his whole life he sacrificed so much for the sake of the group it was his youth and all his wishes so after he got kicked out he wasn't sure he wanted to come back to music or not but after getting so much support from his fans after 2 yesrs he finally decided to came back. illa illa and the whole waterfall album is his experience in those 2 years how he felt how he was doing the songs and the album is so personal and raw. this particular scene in illa illa can portray his feelings when he thought about doing that thing as he before indirectly said he thought about doing it multiple time, the music video is part of his story he wanted to do it but survived the way he kept running and running from all those scary feelings and things he experienced in the 2 years the way the people around him stayed with him and helped him and at the end he could find the light and smile again and decided to build a sandcastle again and again, even though he knows it can be crumble again but he won't give up and will build it again. i hope this explanation can be helpful
Thank you so much for this explanation. Wish we knew this before we watched. It would have been a different reaction.

AND OH MY GOD HOW CAN I FORGET AN INCREDIBLE DANCER AS WELL
Reminds me of gd that's why I like both
9:24 I think you just perfectly described what IDs feel when we say Kim Hanbin is like home to us 💙
There is another version of illa illa its name is "lost at sea (illa illa2)" it's a beautiful song as well you should listen to it
i cant even explain the love and admiration i have for this man. he has gone through so much and im so happy that he can once again express himself.

My fave song! 😭😭💞💞 thank you for this, yes haha Hanbin (B.I) is so handsome im in love with him since he's in iKON 😍👍
I like it when Hanbin's visuals are praise. He himself doesn't believe that he is good looking that's he needs to hear this
I can't even describe how much, like HOW much I cried when he first released this MV.
I cried like crazy. his album too. It was the biggest Red Flag album I have listened in my whole life.
His story how he must leave the group even though he spend his life for the group impressed me so much. I was just happy that he is still alive.
You need to react B.I-Waterfall 😩
Love this song! Thank you for reacting to this. So glad you did another after the BTBT reaction. Please do react to more of his songs. He’s sooooo good, no?!
I can relate. Everytime I look at B.I it gives me pleasant feeling. He has that soft features that gives you a sense of comfort. His smile is so pure and he looks so innocent like a baby. He's a breath of fresh air. Like how his songs always touch my heart. 🥰💕
I love love love that you're reacting to B.I's MVs now. Your reactions are so genuine ❤❤❤
Coming out of the water is a symbolic scene of a new phase of him and his fans (ID), it means very deep ❤️ Embracing his new path as a SOLOIST.

Yes B.I is so handsome 🔥🔥🔥
Illusion by B.I please ❤
aaaaaaaaaaaaa so excited!!!! B.I's music and dance will always attract people to love him
I like to think the MV is showing a story. This was released as his return album after going through a depressing time after an unfair scandal.
In Korea, someone in a suit going to the beach is usually indicative of a suicide attempt.
The MV starts with him "surviving the suicide attempt", possibly with newfound drive to continue living and pursuing his dreams despite the difficulties.
The beginning section where it's night time represents the struggles and feelings of entrapment, possibly leading to his suicide attempt. The middle (first rap verse) depicts the thoughts he went through leading up to the moment; the middle chorus begins to highlight his current state of mind of appreciating the life he still has; the final rap verse is likely coming to terms with the struggles; and the final hype section is his drive to continue pursuing life regardless of the challenges up ahead, that he knows the "sandcastle will crumble again" but he'll continue building it.
The interesting and beautiful thing is he refers to waves very often, especially when it is in front of his eyes in the chorus section. Notice the end when they show him in the studio... they show sound waves of the music recording! AKA MUSIC! The waves metaphorically referred to the music, and the suicide attempt was referring to his consideration of career suicide. Should he give up on music? Ah, but it's everywhere around him and its sweeping him up again. Nope, he's going to try to build that sand castle again and jump back in to the music industry.
And there he is at the end of the bridge, standing right at the "gateway" ready to move forward.
Hi, I am back. Good reaction, ty. BTBT is my fav song. I only heard this one a handful of times and it was ok. But seeing the MV with u for the 1st time and hearing the song. I like it more now.

Thankyou for loving B.I music
In near future i hope you guys will react to SAVIOR mv- Lee Hi feat. B.I (written by B.I) he's also in the MV 🤭
Thank you , BI lyrics so meaningful ....He is rapper,singer, songwriter ( he got songwriter of the years in 2018 in korea ), producers, composers, dancer, owner 131 label and executive director of iok company. But if you like BI dance, you need reaction to performance film or dannce practice ..... BI always dance for his song.
this was his hardest music video because he had to run for basically all the clips, he even said that he was so happy that everyone loved this song, since he put soo much effort into it.
The songs in B.I's solo debut album WATERFALL are very raw and emotional. He said he wrote those songs during his hiatus. And for illa illa, he said he wrote this at the time he felt alone and abandoned 😭 btw illa illa got a remix english version called LOST AT SEA with Bipolar Sunshine and Indonesian star Afgan. It got a lyric video on his channel. Hopefully you can also check out B.I's WATERFALL (live film and performance film in that order 😅), KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE and NINETEEN

Like BTBT, illa illa is also an onomatopoeia. They are nonsense words, gibberish, or non-lexical vocables, or how you will call them, that Hanbin made up while writing the songs. BTBT refers to the the way one would stagger while looking at someone who is insanely beautiful, and illa illa refers to the rolling of ocean waves. I think Hanbin is a gifted writer and has always been really creative and experimental with words and sounds; these two song titles really capture his poetic talent.
I recommend: cosmos, alive , flame, savior and daydream(ft leehi)
Well well I saw your BTBT reaction and loved it 🥰🥰 I also loved the song so much that I made dance reel immediately on my Insta do watch it I tried my best ☺
