Fun Fact: throughout his career Tony Leung has been called "the man who can speak with his eyes" because his eye acting is super intense and he's been known for it since his early roles. Curiously, his cameo in the video only involves his eyes too, very fascinating. Thank you for the video!

Awesome video as always! I saw another theory (from a youtube comment somewhere) that Hoyeon could actually be Voluptas (Hedone in Greek mythology) daughter of Cupid ans Psyche, goddess of pleasure. In univers, her parents' love story already happened as proven by the painting, which inspires her to get her share of happiness by breaking the rules. But in the end, her father intervenes and makes Mical fall in love with the girls Hoyeon should have paired him up with in the elevator. Thanks for these well researched videos you make for us. take care!

Oh, so NewJeans are like guardian angels, that makes sense. NewJeans also reminded me of the Muses with the Greek chorus aspect. It reminded me of Disney's Hercules where the Muses narrate the story at the beginning and also sing about it. Also, Hoyeon is invisible even to Micol which correlates to the part about Eros/Cupid not letting Psyche see him.

I think the guy at the end represents Aphrodite, Cupid’s parent who punishes the couple when he finds out they are together.

The main question is did Hoyeon use her powers to make Micol fall in love with her or did Micol fall in love with her after she became human.
@meiMixMusic Жыл бұрын
in Greek myth, Cupid is described as a really beautiful entity. and Micol is an artisrt, so i think his love is natural. he loves her so much that he makes art for her. i just wonder what happened in the end. like can Tony Leung erase Micol's memory of Hoyeon or something else? i don't think Hoyeon is a Cupid again because she wears casual clothes at the end of the MV

I think he fell for her. Because once she becomes human they are shown bonding by spending time together. It wasn’t like the other two people she made fall in love at the start. But then we see that he falls out of love with her when the other actor (I forgot his name) shows up. It was real love.

At first, I thought Hoyeon was a shadow too, but then I was like wait this reminds me of Psyche and Eros/Cupid. Plus, I've been seeing Psyche and Cupid everywhere for some reason and it was before these music videos came out, it's the same with Le Sserafim. I just kept seeing images of Psyche and Cupid online everywhere. (It's those weird synchronicities I've been having again lol) And I didn't know NewJeans and Le Sserafim would use the story of Psyche and Cupid as part of their concepts. I already knew about the story of Cupid and Psyche. It wasn't because of Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" song and I saw the stuff about Cupid and Psyche before their music came out.

I knew you would do a theory video on NewJeans new music. I was kind of waiting for it. The Psyche and Eros/Cupid story is everywhere. (I was seeing it everywhere lol) And I did talk about this with Le Sserafim 😅 Are NewJeans like nymphs or the muses or something, they gave off that vibe in these art music videos.

Literally shooting cupid's darts with her eyes ... She took the umbrella to make the woman have to walk with the man ... NewJeans are guardian angels who can interact with humans and ephemeral beings ... I got the "Get Up" part right without seeing this theory ! 😃

thank you so much for your explanation!! always looking forward to your videos:) wouldn't it be possible that Tony Leung played Aphrodite who punishes Cupid/Eros for breaking his duty and falling in love with psyche like in the myth?
