I left a comment 6 years back in Korean but I want to leave another one today in 2023. This MV, this cinematography, this acting, this flow, this song, this melody, this lyrics - everything is just so perfect, such a masterpiece in Korean music world. I can’t understand why people not knowing this but I’m glad that I’m listening to this now…

[@Noenonoeno]

I saw a post about this MV so I wanted to share what's the author's analysis "Firstly I quote a KZbin comment about the music video plot (because I know a lot of people, including myself, were quite confused by the story line of the video when it first came out): Minki committed suicide and left a video as a suicide note. His friend gets the video and decides to reenact the death by setting up the camera as Minki did. He places himself in that scene by sitting across from him. He's listening to the video and is either imagining the possible conversation he would have had with Minki, or replying to what Minki's saying. He's trying to come to terms with Minki's death and wishes he could've done more. His face when Minki drinks the poison is heartbreaking. - CommanderHerder note: this is what one person sees as the plot; you may wish to see it any other way but for my analysis I will go with this plot because it was along the lines of what I thought as well. Also, my analysis is just what I thought of the video and you may feel free to disagree (: My approach to this analysis will be divided into the different aspects which I enjoyed or found particularly lovely about this video: Cinematography and symbolism. Cinematography I don't know if anyone else noticed this but I love how the filming of the video is done. Notice that there are no full body shots, apart from the part at about 2:47 where Minki pours the poison into the coffee cup? I think this was done to show that Minki and Jaerim are not having a real conversation. As the comment I quoted earlier mentioned, Jaerim is listening to/watching the video and is placing himself in the situation. By avoiding filming full body shots up to the point where Minki poisons his coffee, it suggests that the two characters are not really having the conversation at all. By filming a full-body shot at the point where the poison is added, it shows that Minki's suicide is a reality, changing the possible initial thoughts that the whole conversation never happened. The angle at which certain parts were filmed also plays an important part in showing that Minki and Jaerim are not together in the same room throughout the video. At about 1:39, the video is filmed at a lower angle, showing two pairs of feet: Minki's, and Jaerim's, whose feet are slightly tapping to an invisible beat. This could imply that Jaerim, who is just beginning to watch the video, probably has no clue that Minki had committed suicide at that point in time because the tapping of feet suggests a light-hearted mood. At around 4:48 however (after Minki has died), the video is shot from the same angle, but only one pair of feet is shown: Jaerim's. This reveals the truth: that Jaerim is actually alone in the room, and his conversation with Minki was merely his imagination. Another thing that really played with my emotions was the lighting. In the earlier parts of the video, both Minki's and Jaerim's faces are lit by the light from the adjacent window. However, after Minki had consumed the poisoned drink, there seemed to be little or no light shining on his face (from about 3:21 onwards.) Jaerim's face on the other hand, seems to be more illuminated by the light, which also highlighted the tears forming in his eyes (around 4:00 and 4:21). I don't know why but it just made me feel that the lighting was done in such a way to show that Minki is gone, while Jaerim has to face the reality of that. Also at about 4:32, when Minki falls back against his chair, the backlighting that silhouettes him gives a sort of spiritual, heaven-like feeling, showing that that was the end (of him.) Symbolism Before I understood the plot of the video, I had this thought that the two characters (portrayed by Lee Minki and Song Jaerim) had an inanimate object that symbolized them throughout the whole video: namely the coffee cup for Minki, and the camera for Jaerim. The coffee cup: the suicide video begins with a shot of the cup of coffee being filled. This symbolizes the start of the suicide note. At about 3:11, after Minki has consumed the poisoned coffee, the cup is placed back on the table: with the remaining coffee swirling around at the bottom of the cup. This seems to symbolize Minki's "end", as shown by the empty cup. Otherwise, the empty cup could also show the emptiness Jaerim feels after Minki's death. The camera: the camera is what narrates Minki's story; it is what he left behind for Jaerim to see. It is an inanimate object, therefore it did not, or rather could not, do anything to stop Minki from poisoning himself while the video was recorded. This reflects Jaerim's character, who, as someone who is merely watching the suicide note/video, is unable to do anything to prevent it (as it had already happened.) In this case, Jaerim is almost made to be inanimate in a way that he was unable to stop Minki from poisoning himself. Timing and Lyrics I love how the different shots of the coffee cup were taken. At the beginning of Minki's story, it opens with him pouring coffee into the cup (at around 0:35.) The aerial shot of the full cup signifies the beginning. Later on at about 1:41, he places the cup back after drinking some of it, and it is another aerial shot of the cup. This time the cup is shown to be half-filled. This ties in with the timing and flow of the video, which is now in the middle stage. And after all the poisoned coffee has been consumed, the cup is replaced on the table, with the remaining coffee swirling around at the bottom. This ties in with the fact that Minki's story is about to end. Now that I've read the lyrics, I have a little bit more to say oh no. Right after Minki drinks the poisoned coffee, Jongwan sings the line "너의 시간 역시 때론 멈춰버리는지", which translates to "I wonder if sometimes, time has stopped for you too". I think this ties is wonderfully with that particular part. At that part, time for Minki has indeed stopped. At the same time, it's as if he is asking Jaerim: does his departure cause time to stop for him? The fact that this part is followed by Jaerim's hand holding the glass, trembling, shows Jaerim's raw emotion of hurt seeing time coming to a stop for his friend. This could also be an indication of Jaerim's time slowly coming to a stop for him as well, as he struggles to come to terms with Minki's suicide. After Minki replaces the now-empty cup, Jongwan sings the lines "이별은 어때? 견뎌질만해 준비한 만큼? 어떤 아픔도 덜해?", which translate to "How is the separation? Was it just enough for you to endure, since you were prepared for it? Was it less painful?" After this line, Jongwan sings "사랑은 어떤? 다시 할 만해? 사실 난 그래 그저 두렵기만 해" which translates to "What about love? Is it worth doing again? Honestly, this is my truth. I'm just afraid." after which Jaerim is shown with his eyes beginning to brim with tears, showing that he is unable to come to terms with what has happened. He wasn't "prepared" for it, contrary to the line that says "...you were prepared for it". As for Minki, he was probably questioning love; maybe his suicide was because of it. Possibly, he thought that it was not "worth doing again", hence the suicide. The "truth" was that he was "just afraid". He could have been afraid of facing love again and going through the same thing, which could have been a reason why he did that. You can never really tell why he commits suicide based on the video alone, which is why I thought referring to the lyrics could help a little. The part I liked most (regarding the timing and lyrics) was when the line "This is all that I can say" is sung right before Minki falls back in his chair. This can be taken literally, in a way that it actually is all that he can say (because he dies afterwards) ;_____; Miscellaneous I find it ironic how drinking coffee is supposed to keep you awake, but for Minki, drinking coffee put him to sleep. Forever. And now I am done with my analysis. All the feels have been expressed ᅲᅲ"

[@Noenonoeno]

Iin Risam It's not my analysis but yeah I think this it's accurate!

[@Bupgaji]

Enora L. sorry but I think that the lyrics is actually Jaerim's words, so the "This is all that I can say" part and the ending "Thinking about the words that let you go" and "The words that will never reach you" are the parts about his regret. In the beginning too, he said "At first it was really hard...", he was saying that at first he couldn't accept the fact that Minki was gone, but then he kinda found a way to accept it and now it was just plain sadt after I accepted it Now it’s just so sad

[@shymoon7170]

+Enora L. The characters on the MV are Nell band members or not? Sory but I didn't knew Nell till now. PS I must to say Nell is absolutelly amazing.

[@xeliberg33x]

The video is about Minki, who committed suicide and left a video as a suicide note. His friend gets the video and decides to reenact the death by setting up the camera like he did. He places himself in that scene by sitting across from him. He's listening to the video and is either imagining the possible conversation he would have had with Minki, or replying to what Minki's saying. I guess he's trying to come to terms with Minki's death and wishes he could've done more :(

The book Minki's reading is a Korean translation of "And our faces, my heart, brief as photos", a novel by John Berger. In it, he talks about the idea of living on after death through photos and films, if I'm not wrong. My take on this is that Minki's friend there envisions talking to a still alive Minki as he rolls the tape Minki filmed before he committed suicide. He pictures Minki as alive while watching the tape, thus the portrayal of him conversing with Minki (though he's passed on).

The reason why he suicided is because he was a musician but started to lose his hearing(Hint: a piano scene(00:12) and the phrase in the book(01:48); "If you were deaf in one ear") And some of their mouth movements could be translated as "what's the matter with you?" or "what makes you so distressed?"(02:14) // "Well...(?)" // "To that extents," // "You're always in that way." ......

[@mochimochi82]

I believe that the man's friend/lover committed suicide and taped it with a video camera, with a message meant for the man. The man went back and sat across the table from where his friend had been sitting/killed himself and watched the tape on the video camera as though he were having a final conversation with his friend. In the end he watched his friend actually take the overdose(?) and die. But we'll never know why he killed himself.

[@othergeorgea]

+happy kitty he killed himself because he was going deaf. His talent and career was playing piano.. So he was diagnosed and decided that if he couldn't do what he loved he didn't want to live. The piano at the start is a symbol, and I remember someone translating their mouthes while they were talking in a comment... That's what they were saying. Hope this helps!

Is it endurable? 준비한 만큼 어떤 아픔도 덜 해 since you were prepared, is it less painful? 사랑은 어때 다시 할 만 해 How about love? Is it doable again? 사실 난 그래 그저 두렵기만 해 Honestly, I am indifferent.. but just afraid This is all that I can say This is all that I can say 혼자 되뇌어보는 널 보내는 그 말 I am just mumbling the words to let go of you. This is all that I can say This is all that I can say 너에겐 닿지 않을 널 보내는 그 말 The words which will not reach you....

(민기가 독이 든 커피잔을 입가에 갖다대자 재림이 손에 든 잔을 시계 반대방향으로 돌린다. 사실 되돌리고 싶은 사람은 재림.) 03:15 민기: 웃어 좀. 더이상 아프지 않아서 좋아 나는. 04:05 민기: 이제 가볼게. 내 몫까지 행복해줘. 04:14 민기: 너가 좋아하는 사람과 같이 살아. - 초반에 민기는 오랜만에 만난듯한 재림과 아무렇지 않게 웃으며 말을 주고 받는다. 그러나 2분대로 가면서 재림을 원망하는 말을 뱉는다. 그러나 재림과의 관계를 되돌리고 싶은건 아닌듯 하다. 이윽고 민기는 재림을 보내주며 죽음을 맞이한다. 민기가 그렇게 아파하고 힘들면서도 담담할 수 있었던건 이미 죽을 각오였기 때문이었다. 이 노래의 화자가 그토록 큰 아픔도 담담하게 노래할 수 있는 까닭 역시, 죽음을 각오했거나 어쩌면 이미 그 내면은 죽어버렸기 때문이다. +) 민기는 재림에게 하고 싶은 말을 직접 전할 수 없기에 마음을 유언으로 적었다. 그러나 민기가 죽음에 이르렀기에 이젠 재림이 닿고 싶어도 민기에게 닿을 수 없다. 이런 후회남주 설정은 자기가 가는 마지막 순간만은 재림이 죄책감 때문이라도 자신을 보고싶어해주길 바라는 마음이자 남아서 죄책감을 갖고 살아갈 재림에게 괜찮다 말해주는 마음이기도 하다. 둘은 양가적인 감정이지만 모두 사랑이라는 단일의 감정으로 말할 수 있다.

Having this on a shuffle playlist inevitably leads to "What is this? Why has the whole room suddenly turned blue? Why am I sad all of a sudde.....oh, Nell's playing." It's like Nell just went, "Oh, you're happy? I must fix that for you!" But this song is gorgeous. The melodies that evoke so much emotion, the singing, soft and poignant, beautiful. Almost effortless in it's grace. Astounding. The video was so well done, the subtle emotions playing out so well, enough so that the hand shaking at the end as the recorder screen was closed made my heart clench all over again. Superb.

i feel like this song / the concept of the m/v may have been partially inspired by the changeling by kenzaburo oe. this book was about a man who's best friend kills himself. his best friend and him had always had this thing where the best friend records tapes of questions and ramblings, and the main character listens to these over and over, in a way of denying his best friend's suicide as well as method of coping. i find this similar to how the guy in this m/v is "talking" to his friend/lover through the camera in which his friend presumably filmed his own suicide. and later, the main character in the changeling gets over it, and stops listening to the tapes; an accepting of his best friend's death. i think that the guy in this m/v closing the camera is also a representation of him accepting his friend/lover's death.

We can help someone but we can't change that person. Sometimes all we can do is just watch someone suffering. No matter how much we try to change someone, we can't. Because it's up to the person if he or she will change or not. No matter how much we try, sometimes we just can't change the outcome. And then we can just watch someone suffering. And we ourselves end up feeling weak, useless. We end up suffering before we know it.

[@springwillcome]

The first time I heard this song, I felt chills all over my body and I broke into tears despite not understanding what the artist was saying. But I did understand what the artist was trying to evoke, this song is about pain. What I do love about this song that here the pain that is being expressed is grief which is so broad within itself and everyone can relate to. To me this song is about the regret that comes hand-in-hand with grief, but to others it can mean something else and I believe that is the beauty of this song.
