An interesting link to the singer IU. 16 years before, IU's debut mv was a gender-swapped telling of the Greek Orpheus and Eurydice tale. This is a gender-swapped telling of Cupid and Psyche. This mv included a cameo by Chinese actor Tony Leung. 6 months later IU's mv for the song 'Shh...' featured the Chinese actress Tang Wei (and Hyein sang a verse in that song). Tang Wei and Tony Leung had co-starred in the famous Chinese erotic thriller film 'Lust, Caution', which was released the year Hyein was born... 16 years ago.
Cupid was Jung Hoyeon, Emmy winning Squid Game actress. She's got an American series coming up in October named 'Disclaimer' starring Kate Blancett on Apple TV. Hoyeon plays Blancett's assistant.
Yeah UK Garage is a clubland sound early to late 90s here in the UK... Its a personal favourite of mine and back in my 20s in the late 90s i would mostly go to 'house and garage' clubs... the traditional sound had rapping and mc's and quite a lot of speed rapping often to hard melodies.. also in the late 90s certain artists like doolally, shanks and bigfoot, Artful Dodger and Craig David started making 'mainstream uk garage' that become very popular in the 'mainstream' pop charts.. they essentially kept the same concept of the sound with the fast snares and riffs and deep basslines but replaced the harder melodies with much softer ones and the rapping and mcing with RnB vocals... it was a sound that had much more mass appeal to the wider.. non club going market. This is the version newjeans do and as its centred around RnB vocals it fits in well with all their other 90s RnB orientated genres.. supershy and 'new jeans' are also mainstream uk garage :)
Check out their OST for the KDrama My Demon called Our Night Is More Beautiful Than Your Day. It's one of my favorite songs cause it really highlights their vocals and the music is really toned down.
Your analysis of the mv is awesome for a first time watch... honestly you got a lot of it right and i've seen very few reactors get any of it! The clue is in the painting you were spot on as it depicts the forbidden love between Cupid and Psyche... this video tells the story of that (with gender swapped roles). The girl is cupid who falls for the human Psyche.. she gives up her divinity (symbolised by her 'shedding' her clothes) to be with him... however this is a big no no in the deity world and cupids Dad Aphrodite is very angry so he comes to earth to put things right.. reverting cupid back to deity form and making Psyche fall for someone else and forget about her. Its most likely NewJeans represent the 9 Muses who in mythology follow cupid around with song and dance... its likely as well that they reported cupids actions to her father as before she sheds her clothes she looks a little worried that newjeans are watching.. like shes knows theres going to be repurcussions and also in the end during getup when Cupid visits them she has a look of disdain on her face when she confronts them.
30:20, meet me back in 5 = let’s meet up 5 years later. You will understand it more if you watch their ditto mv. Banheesoo leaves the girl and they met again after a few years later.
Check out the older Movie, City of Angels. Really feels like director took inspiration from that movie given how many similarities there are. There are some ideas this mv and that movie share. I know a movie watch is a big ask but even reading a summary or looking up stills from the film would give you an idea how much the two stories have in common.
thanks for really taking the time to analyze the songs and videos. You've gained a subscriber! ❤

You must see when they do this song at "It's Live". They are so good and there you'll see and here more of their layers. It's a must.
Something about Cool With You scratches an itch for me like Hurt scratches yours. Might be my favorite NewJeans song.

I'll have to figure out where I recognize her from 🤔

I have seen the Ditto MVs, I just didn't think it would link with the lyrics
