IU Eight Prod. & Feat. SUGA of BTS REACTION

[@jicodile]

IU is the most famous female solo singer in Korea. Also she is a really good actress as well.

[@hineakmakera5794]

Well actually shes the most successful artist within korea, no qualifier needed.

[@brionyfakatou1620]

Jungkook used to have a huge crush on IU when he was younger. There are whole video compilations of Jungkook being whipped for IU. And why not? She’s beautiful, talented, kind, and gives tons of her money away to charity and especially children’s charities.

[@guadalupepanatex8026]

There is a very sad story in how this song came about she ( IU) lost friends to suicide and she tried to deal from this tragedy and remember her beloved friends and as you know Suga has been dealing through depression this, so IU knew that he Suga would give his all in the production of this song 🎵 I hope you will find the explanation in the meaning of this song, Thank you for discovering these gems 💎 💔😢

[@ngkky]

You make it sound like IU is dealing with the lost of her personal non-celebrity friends instead of the suicides of three of the most famous Kpop Idols with worldwide followings. If you're going to tell the story, please tell it correctly.

@@hineakmakera5794 i think they meant that the point of the video was they were kpop artists that were getting hate and THAT is why they decided to take their lives, the hate drove them over the edge

[@alexis.george]

@@ngkky "You make it sound like" I don't think OP implied anywhere that IU's friends were non-celebrities, though... If we're gonna be correcting people or adding more context to their comments, we could all be a little nicer about it, no?

[@mikeduplessis8069]

IU, a 14 year music career, more #1 hits than you can count. Plus she's starred in multiple hit TV series and her latest feature film is about to premiere at Cannes film festival. I've seen other K-pop idols burst into tears when they meet her.

[@robertalanfowler4287]

IU has achieved 18 number-ones on the K-pop Hot 100, the most of any artist to enter the chart, and holds the record for most weeks at number one for a solo artist with a cumulative total of 53 weeks. what I can't find totals on is the number of awards she has won in total , I know it is in the 100's from all the various award shows , I know she has been song-writer of the year, and artist of the year a few times each IU was also the first Kpop artist to receive a PAK ( PAK is a music chart achievement in South Korea where a song simultaneously reaches number one on the real-time, daily, and weekly components of iChart, a music chart ranking aggregator operated by Instiz.[1] The term "perfect all-kill" was first used when the song "Nagging" by IU) And Currently holds 21 of the 100 total PAK's

[@jessicapierce3027]

IU is not only incredibly talented in music, but is also a an actor.

[@MBella123]

IU is amazing! She’s one of the best vocalists in South Korea and this song is so special. It’s like an homage to some of her friends that were kpop idols by they have passed away (su*c*d*) 🥺

[@sakura_sake7459]

IU is not only known as as singer, she's also a magnificent lyricist, producer, composer, actress and philanthropist. Her lyrics always have stories and message that makes you love the song more along with IU's voice. A well known and respected artist in the kpop industry by the gen public and even among musicians not just kpop idols.

[@Prettytas]

In case you want to explore more IU, this is also part of her age series. With other two as 23 and Palette(age 25). This song Eight is related to her age 28 (Korean) also as it has been said tribute to her late friends (just a theory though - IU never actually confirmed it)

[@MahoroAndou]

All of IUs music videos are like mini movies. But she's been around forever so she has a lot of music if you want to go down that rabbit hole. Lilac, Blueming, and The Red Shoes are my favorites by her even if they are all totally different styles of songs.

[@alexmayrose8072]

This song is so sad I tear up everytime I recommend you watching the explanation to it. It's hella deep. Thanks for your guys reaction! Been here since day 1 :)

[@cynthiaperez2232]

Suga won an award for producing Suran's hit song 'Wine", You should check it out. (when you find the time)

[@koreaRM장동민]

Yes yes

[@rachel-dc4ti]

i love this song and iu -- she's a real pro with one of the longest careers: she's been active since 2008! you should totally check the dkdktv video about this song, it is rumoured to be about sulli who passed away in 2018; some even say it might be about jonghyun as well, he passed away in 2017. they were all very good friends and this song always makes me especially nostalgic -- i was a big fan of jjong. anyway, i think yoongi gets the time for it because he genuinely needs the creative process to deal with all the other stuff.

[@ngkky]

Sulli passed away in Oct 2019. The song might have also mentioned Goo Hara who passed away the next month in Nov 2019.

[@rachel-dc4ti]

@@ngkky oh, yes! i'm very sorry to get the year mixed up!

[@norachillperez2349]

We know artis in SK know each other even have chat groups. And Jonghyun was BTS's close friend.

[@IU-so4uf]

IU makes everything beautiful

[@stefb9313]

beside IU being a great singer, she really is brilliant, she is also a pretty talented actress. If you watch closely the last seconds of the MV, when she wakes up in the memory recording machine, she clearly shows 3 very distinct emotions, while in the background there is the faint sound of "are you happy now". Sadness, for loosing her dear friends, wondering if they are happy now, sad-smile for all the good memories that she saved, and last anger, towards the haters who drove her friends to this extreme, asking them "are you happy now?", as in are you satisfied now that they are gone. This song always makes me cry, so i rarely listen to it, even though it is, undoubtedly, a masterpiece. If you have the time and opportunity, you should check out IU's other songs, she is really amazing, and like BTS a genuinely good person.

[@MariaChavez-ey5sr]

IU is an amazing singer and song writer herself also both she and Suga were born the same year so another thing to the title is the both turned 28 the year this came out so the meaning of being (2)8 she mentioned I think. It’s kinda crazy but such a compliment to Suga she sought him for this collab and both said it was fast and effortless, apparently he’s just easy going and super fast to work with. Also as an aside she took a lot of flack from toxic BTS fans because Jungkook has a huge crush on her and says she’s his ideal type so she’s always been a bit distant from BTS to not stir that up again (so sad) so it was a surprise that this collab happened and win awards and topped charts. As far as making music the guys tease it’s literally all he does in his spare time and is really introverted and doesn’t go out although I think the guys balance him and keep him from being too isolated. He’s got a crazy big range of styles of hit songs he’s produced.

[@cristinapoupinho4860]

I really like IU and she has such a great voice! I think she and Yoongi really connect personally in a way that they really become friend and respect each other! Just saying she has been through such a hardship as a young artist and yet triumph !

[@yukuolee3740]

This is a great collaboration between IU and Suga.

[@sontrinh3788]

How famous is IU in South Korea. Hm think of how Taylor swift is to America. She writes most of her music and also like a super famous actress

[@IU-so4uf]

IU is the best singer. I only have her songs on Spotify. Her songs are not like the rest. I think it is clear to you from the translation of the song and the meaning of the words. There is a wonderful consistency, not just words to fit the melody. She is the best writer and she won this award and deserves, she is number one Solo singer

[@moonlightmoonchild1133]

I really recommend watching dkdktv's explanation for this song. it's extremely sad😔

[@nope.001]

IU~~~

[@IU-so4uf]

My queen IU 💜💜

[@syly5363]

I love your reaction💜big love from Japan! As everyone has said, there is a very sad background to this song. IU sings first verse "Now are you happy?Finally happy now?" . This is to her friends in heaven, "Are you no longer suffering?" She is asking, 'Are you happy?" On the other hand, she is asking the antis who drove her friend to suicide, 'Are you happy that you drove them to suicide? Is this the end you wanted?" She is angry with them. IU is lying on the machine, trying to keep the memory of her friend alive so that she will not forget even a small part of her friend's memory.

[@MrTBake95]

Please watch the dkdktv explanation. It breaks my heart. If you want to hear a bunch of IU you should watch the killing voice she did on Dingo

[@jud01ct055]

More iu reactions please highly recommended: Hold my hand live clip (iu tour concert love poem). Blueming live clip (iu tour concert love poem). Love poem live clip. IU killing voice.

[@robertalanfowler4287]

IU's Killing voice from Dingo is a must watch in my opinion, you wont be let down that's for sure , her raw talent is on another level, she started to write and produce and compose her own music at 18 ( 3 years after her debut), and currently owns 30% of EDAM entertainment (the company that she is signed under.. and has only 2 clients ) making her basically her own boss

[@hineakmakera5794]

@@robertalanfowler4287 Killing voice is ok think after one have listened to most for her title tracks at least and a few other lives. Its good but not the best showcase of her live singing as she was sick on the day of recording so her voice their is a bit thin compared to usual.

[@itsamadness0325]

Hauntingly beautiful song but sooo sad. Watching the explanation video is very recommended.

How Suga produces so many songs? He lives and breathes music 🤣 he doesnt sleep at night (I think) cause he's just making music and even on brakes he takes his stuff with him wherever he goes and keeps on making music. You can even see when they are on vacation the other guys are doing tons of stuff and he's meeting with other artists

[@marinal.]

yep.

[@MC_Rohr]

I appreciate the Suga love, but you can bet he started with a hit melody and lyrics from IU. On or off KZbin, you both need to watch IU Eight Explained by a Korean from DKDKTV.

[@Walklikeaduck111]

Sucha beautiful bright song but it always makes me cry...knowing its actually a deeply sad painful song about loss. Ofcourse suga just gets it. He has the capacity to understand the artist he produces for like no other. He is different with each one.

[@cnmmm]

"suga makes everything beautiful" i agree, if suga wasn't there the song may not be as good but it would still be an awesome song.

[@idylresaba4609]

More IU plsss

[@materidouska286]

Where does he find the time ? Well, when you watch their vlogs from travels, concert tours and other BTS related content, you see him working constantly. He doesn´t play games, he doesn´t go to parties, he doesn´t do a lot of stuff others tend to do ( nothing wrong with that btw) - he just works. He is known for carrying his equipment, wherever they go, even when they tour, because he works 24/7. Even during their In the Soup videos you could see he chose to live in a separate mini van/ recording studio unit and was there doing his stuff while others enjoyed their free time. To become a world class producer on THIS level and at SUCH tender age, you have to put in thousands of hours:-) Eight is a gorgeous song, and I always cry real bad when I hear it. Its such a light cheery melody, deceptive of whats really going on here, making you believe you are hearing a dancy summer hit, but when you start to pay closer attention to how she vocalizes, and then read the lyrics your heart breaks :-/ The story goes the song is about her going down the memory lane, trying to get over loss of two of her close Idol friends who both committed suicide. Love this collaboration. I think it was IU who reached out to Suga with an offer, the same as Halsey did, in attempt of having him "translating" sensitive, emotional nature of their material to the final product they wanted :-)

[@michaelfoley5295]

I know it was Suga that drew you to this song and that is fine. However, like others who are being introduced to IU through this song and Suga you naturally have made assumptions that are incorrect. Therefore I hope to provide a little background on IU and hope you go on an IU journey. For starters IU wrote this song and developed the melody Suga primarily added the baseline. IU reached out to Suga to produce this song as she was looking for something a different sound wise. The song is about how IU struggled with dealing with the suicide deaths of 3 of her close friends, 2 of which passed away in the fall of 2019 just about 6 months prior to the release of this song. The songs title has several meaning. It refers to IU's age of 28 and is apart of her age series (that include the songs 23 and Palette). The 2nd reference is the the number of years that she and Sulli had been friends. IU was very close to Sulli. Sulli appears in the 2d animated portion as the girl in white.. There are a couple of videos that offer explanations of the video and song. IU drbute in 2008 and is by far the most popular and successful solo artist in Korea. She has had over 31 songs reach no.1 and her songs have been in the top 100 for over 680 weeks. The next closest artist or group is about half that number. In addition to her singing she is also a songwriter, composer and producer and she has won several awards in all three of those categories.she is also an actress and model. She has stared in 7 kdramas including Hotel Del Luna and My Mister (rated as the 10 beat kdrama of all time). She has 2 movies co.ing out this summer one of which has been chosen to complete at Cannes Film Festival in May. She is ranked as the 4th wealthiest celebrity in Korea and is the unquestioned Queen of kpop by the kpop industry. Other kpop idols are standing in line for the opportunity to work with her. She has worked with Psy, G Dragon, Zico, Dean, Jay Park just to name a few. She had planned to hold a concert at the 95,000 seat Olympic Stadium in Seoul. No solo artist has ever performed their. The concert had to be canceled because of the omicron wave currently hitting Korea. As good as IU sounds recorded she sounds even better live. Taking the IU journey is worth it but a warning the rabbit hole is deep and some of us have never come back out. She is an angel amongst us.
