“BTS’s V Reveals Behind-the-Scenes of IU’s ‘Lilac’ MV”
“On the 28th, V shared several photos on his account with the caption ‘Taehyung-ah, Jieun-ah, Be Happy.'”
“In the photos, IU and V appeared as they did in the music video. Both were dressed in worn-out wedding dresses and suits, posing in front of the camera.”
“IU portrayed the trials faced by the protagonist with disheveled hair, a bruised face, and light makeup. She had makeup to simulate wounds on her face and the wedding dress appeared burnt somewhere, creating a fragile atmosphere.”
“V also had slightly disheveled hair, a bruised face, and wore colored lenses to make one eye appear cloudy, wearing a suit stained with dirt.”
“Despite their worn-out appearance, they showed affectionate gazes toward each other and portrayed a sweet couple through bright smiles.”
“‘Taehyung’ and ‘Jieun’ are nicknames that became a hot topic in online communities. After a netizen posted, ‘Now when I see IU and V’s two-shot, they don’t look like themselves. They look just like Taehyung and Jieun. I came up with these names,’ the post gained sympathy online and spread. V also seems to be aware of this.”
“Meanwhile, IU’s ‘Lilac’ not only topped the Melon Top 100 and Hot 100 charts immediately after its release but also swept the top spots on major domestic music charts like Genie and Bugs, demonstrating the true power of ‘music powerhouse’ IU. The music video has also surpassed 29 million views, attracting hot attention from domestic and international fans. On this day, IU also released a video on her YouTube channel titled ‘A Day Exchanging Great Results and Health,’ revealing behind-the-scenes of the music video.”
