    Lau, you could not be more sweet with your growing appreciation of IU. I know you're pondering how to do this deep dive, and so many people just hit the most popular MVs and miss the evolution of this superstar or so many outstanding b-sides. As I explore youtube, I'm stunned at how many really good songs there are, not controlled by her entirely, which have less than 2-5 million views... and there's so many studio and live collabs. I wish Edam would just buy up the rights to all this stuff, because this is her legacy and she's one of the worlds greatest singers of all time, according to Rolling Stone. Anyway, if you can deal with this, I suggest taking your time and going chronological on official MVs (except for new mini-album), but just jump all over the place with other content. You'll even be able to find IU as an actress (not singer) on an Epik High rap song, kind of like V did with her. Whatever strategy you take, have fun with it.

    Youre so lucky to stan IU at the perfect time for her greatest comeback ever🤩 You should react to 'Hyori's Bed & Breakfast' Season 1 w/ IU. You will know her more🥰 It's the best IU show she's been on

    Here is my take on the MV
    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 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. (She is taking a different road then what female Korean soloist usually take.)
    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.
    And welcome to the IU rabbit hole. It is deep and wondrous.
    I have posted a couple of live clips from her 2022 concert at the Olympic Stadium, which are iconic and pt 1 & pt 2 of her behind the scenes video of the Golden Hour concert. Where you will get to know the person IU.
    They are both from her channel so they will not be blocked.

    Not sure if you prefer to check out more of her music first before you get into other stuff but i highly recommend the interview video that was just uploaded on her channel regarding this latest album. It really sheds light on her thought process & i think it'll make it easier to understand some of her older music since you're just getting into it now. I think its one of the most informative shorter official videos thats not like an hour long documentary & also not fan edited.
    Perhaps you might want to check out the songs in her "age series" before watching the interview video. These songs include 23, palette, eight. Or like you said about knowing more about an artist if you decide to watch the interview first the age series will be much easier to digest

    She’s the most incredible artist I’ve ever heard…
    Been a fan since her debut… Lost Child.
    Enjoy your journey… You’re going to find so many amazing songs.

    IU's debut 16 years ago was a serious torch song and kind'a flopped. So her agency decided to go 'cute' instead, though IU wasn't sure she could do 'cute'. If you want to see the world's cutest music video check out 'Marshmallow' from 12 years ago.

    When IU released her song 23, she thought the age of 23 is like a flower that someday would bloom. Now she s in her 30s and she said that “there’s no reason or no need for everyone to be a flower, wants to live as a dandelion seed fluttering splendidly in the sky”
    Also from her other interview ,the song holssi (dandelion flower seeds) is not only about dreaming high, but also acknowledging our insignificance, knowing that not everyone would bloom into flowers and that’s okay. Even as a mere dandelion seed, we can still thrive and find our own victory

    IU - Holssi
    Producer IU
    Lyrics by IU
    Composed by Lee Jong-hoon, Lee Chae-kyu and IU
    Arranged by Lee Jong-hoon and Lee Chae-kyu
    The place where I settle down
    will probably be somewhere much higher
    Nah, I refuse to take root on a ground
    that’s too smooth for the sake of convenience
    Follow my lead closely
    and form a neat queue
    I will bloom in the sky by all means
    mmm, What a tiny leader
    Flying precariously,
    I’m a single dandelion seed,
    set out on yet another path
    Fly high to bloom
    If anyone asks
    how I’m doing,
    send them the news
    “She has become a dandelion seed”
    Follow me, gonna go to win
    Follow me, fly high to the top*
    You say ‘hoo’**
    I may fly
    You say ‘hoo’
    Then I fly
    Follow me, Even without wings
    Follow me, soar into the sky*
    You say ‘hoo’
    I may fly
    You say ‘hoo’
    Then I fly
    I’ll fly in the center for everyone to see me
    For the sake of your eyesight,
    make sure to bring your sunglass
    The sky above is blinding
    But I’m not afraid of heights at all*
    I’ll fly so close to the scorching sun
    and look down nonchalantly*
    I pick a cloud to sit on
    And while I’m at it,
    might as well cause a total ruckus that I haven’t done in ages
    Spinning round and round in circles,
    I’m a single dandelion seed,
    riding the gusty wind
    Fly high to bloom
    If anyone asks
    how I’m doing,
    send them the news
    “She has become a dandelion seed”
    Follow me, gonna go to win
    Follow me, fly high to the top
    You say ‘hoo’
    I may fly
    You say ‘hoo’
    Then I fly
    Follow me, Even without wings
    Follow me, soar into the sky
    You say ‘hoo’
    I may fly
    You say ‘hoo’
    Then I fly
    Even if the path ahead won’t be easy,
    I’ll save all the fuss for later
    This is my choice and as always,
    the odds of it being easy are zero
    I’ll shake off and disperse all I have left now
    Wish you all good luck
    I insist on saying goodbye before leaving
    May god be with ya
    See ya
    (*t/n: IU modified the pronunciation of the endings to make them rhyme. See Korean lyrics (KR) for a visual explanation of the rhymes.)
    (**t/n: 후 (hoo) is an onomatopoeia for the sound you make when you’re blowing air through your mouth.)

    (Holssi) TITLE track introduction by IU
    Producer IU
    Lyrics IU
    Co-composer IU
    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 (23), whether they are fancy flowers or small flowers.
    Back then, I believed that I would be in full bloom when the time comes.
    In my 30s, I realized 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 (dandelion seed) fluttering insignificantly 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. //
    A track with a unique Hip-Hop/R&B-based composition.
    On top of a heavy Drum & Bass, IU’s vocals sometimes express the versatility of an R&B singer, sometimes the ease of a confident Rapper and sometimes the cheerfulness and simpleness of children singing nursery rhymes, showing off a variety of charms.

    iu at 23: “I think being 23 years old is like a flower” (chatshire) iu at 30: “me, 30 years old, who realized that there is no reason or need for everyone to be flowers, I want to live like a spore fluttering splendidly in the sky” (the winner/holssi)
    Like IU, who believed 23 was a flower, these children may have believed it was cats, grass, couches, and cars. However, I hope everyone realizes that it is not necessary to do so and follow the reason of living as a single person and flying without destination.
    You, young people who hide somewhere and watch, can also fly away from the weight that limits you.
    The garbage bags are transformed into dancers and after releasing the labels of society that make them feel inferior, they are free to fly.
    How iconic that iu changes the popular rhetoric that you must first flourish to succeed to one that supports that being a mere spore also means the opportunity to fly and grow, regardless of the risk or fear.
    IU IS SUCH A COMPLEX 🎨 ARTIST. SHE IS THE STORYTELLER WHO CAN EXPERIMENT WITH ANY GENRE TO GET THE MESSAGE OF A GOOD STORY TO YOU.
    Alice: Where should I go from here? Cheshire Cat: That largely depends on where you're going. A: I don't really care where. CC: So it doesn't matter much which path you take. A: As long as I get somewhere. CC: Oh, I'm sure you will, if you walk enough.
