[talk] Interesting Reenactment Smoke Official Music Video Interpretation

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/079/0003936160

Music Video Team: We wanted to express the guilty pleasure (liking or enjoying something while feeling guilty) that we all have through a music video with the theme of 'narcissism'.

In the hotel suite, Jaehyun has a guilty pleasure of observing and exploring himself. He blocks out all external light, cameras, and mirrors for fear of his shortcomings being revealed, but he is startled by a knock outside the room and runs away. Jaehyun ran away. The place is ironically a rooftop where countless others can look at him in the forest of buildings. There, Jae-hyeon falls as if he is possessed by the sight of a large sun, and Jae-hyeon, filled with emptiness, floats through the air.

The place he fell once again was the ventilation shaft of the underground passage, the lowest level. (According to the setting) In the ventilation shaft of the underground passage where all the dregs of desire in this city flow aimlessly, Jae-hyeon dances freely, feeling a strange sense of relief. Jae-hyeon, reborn Eun goes to rescue Jae-hyeon, who is still exploring himself in the suite, but soon gives up knocking on the door and goes back to dancing.

The source of the knocking sound that startled him was actually himself who came to save him. In the ending, Jaehyun covers the camera lens once again, but if the loop was repeated in the music video, it is now the other audience members. By making the field become one axis of this loop, we wanted to express the message in a fun way that 'the audience also observed the reenactment throughout the running time.'

I thought it was just about narcissism, but it was a loop. He came to save himself.. I have to watch the music video again.
