FINALLY Reacting To IU "_eight" (Prod.&Feat. SUGA) (+EXPLAINED)

[@reveluvcakes]

She's such a strong person

[@hoonies3534]

She's been through so much. I admire her for being so strong and always working hard ❤

[@pedroportalatin6751]

Wow i am surprised you never reacted to this beautiful song it talks about people she lost good friends she hanged out with.

[@JackInTheBox0294]

No, its about IU's childhood

[@pedroportalatin6751]

@@JackInTheBox0294 everyone wants to to put in there 2cents in . I know iu lived a poor life and she lost her best friends . I don't need a history lesson .

[@heathercutler5114]

@@JackInTheBox0294 per IU and Suga, it references good friends they lost.

[@JackInTheBox0294]

​@@heathercutler5114no, stop spreading rumors

[@Kygnis]

​@@heathercutler5114False. Per IU, it's a self-reflective song that continues the legacy of her age-themed songs (Palette etc.) She told her fans in the song explanation that the song is a short novel that confesses IU's life as a 28-years-old. The stories about her dead friends were only theories from fans. IU hasn’t formally addressed and confirmed it.

As soon as you started watching it I started crying bruh 😭😭 This is very personal for me only but i just want to say I feel such an emotional connection to this song because I remember when it first came out on May 6th of 2020 I was feeling the worst I had in a while because my grandpa had passed away in my home country a few days ago (May 2nd) and I was literally across the world, unable to be there with him or my grandma. When I listened to it I was reminded of losing him and and I started crying so hard bc I could relate so much to the lyrics and was still kind of in denial. The song helped me and it also broke me down. To this day whenever I listen to it I’m reminded of him and it will literally always be one of my favorite songs ever. Especially after knowing that IU could have potentially written it about losing her friends as well. (I also couldn’t stop crying during the explanation video fml) I hope Sulli, Jonghyun, and Goo Hara’s beautiful souls can rest in peace 🤍 and that anyone who has ever had to deal with the loss of a loved one can heal and recover :(

suga and iu sang it together on IU’s palette episode with Suga as special guest

[@YoshiPotter88]

OH MY GOODNESS YES YES!! I've been waiting for you to check this out, I was actually getting ready to put a whole explanation about this song but you watch the video already so I was very glad to see that- dude when I first watched this MV I felt chills down my spine and I thought what a gorgeous song and it felt sad but I wasn't sure what it was about until I saw the explanation, after hearing the explanation this song became even more of a Masterpiece for me because HOLY COW! Now that I hear this song I'm always just thinking Wow and Aww, and I always get chills (some of my friends don't know so they're just like "You good dude?" 😆) Also I am here for you to check out more of IU this girl is popular and loved for so many reasons and I ADORE her music- there are many more Soloists that you should definitely check out though if you haven't such as Sunmi, Taeyeon, Chungha, Seori, BIBI, Jiae, Hyoyeon, BoA, Kwon Eunbi, Jimin, etc (I know a good amount of those artists you've heard or at least heard of but I'd love to see more reactions)! Anyways I can't wait for you to check out more IU such as more Music Videos, B - Sides, Live Performances, Covers, Dance Practices, and Moments- I can't wait for more Content from you and I hope that you are doing well and staying safe and healthy Seb! P.S. If you ever need any good Videos I could totally help you out if you need it, also dude I'm still waiting for you to check out more Red Velvet as well because I know you'd love a lot of their music!

[@lilacs3797]

Everything about this song really pulled at my heartstrings. 🌼🌿

Every time I listen to this song I cry 🧎🏻‍♀️😞

I don't wanny cry but jonghyun 😢l miss him😭

[@gaia8236]

10:27 to answer your question, I have personally struggled with something similar. I lost someone when we were 14 due to brain cancer. I had feelings for her, romantic feelings. It's been 7 years and I still struggle to love someone in any way, both friendly and romanticly. I am so afraid to receive a call or hear the news of them passing. It's a paralyzing fear, something that slowly eats your brain, especially if you have anxiety, like me. I still cry about it, I still suffer because of what happened and there will never be a time when I won't suffer, it's a dull pain that never leaves you, you just grow to ignore it. You get used to it. When it happened I was broken, there's no other word to explain it. I even tried to kms because I felt guilty because I wasn't with her to hold her hand when she passed. I was diagnosed with depression, of course. I will be sad when I will forget about her voice, for example, I will be devastated. But I can just go on. That's all I can do because I made a promise and I have to take care of my mum, my sister, my nephews, my cat. So I can't give up. And in the meantime I just ignore my dull pain, because I'm used to it. I'm not the kind of girl that says "I love you", maybe I'm just like this, maybe I just don't wanna say it. It doesn't matter if I say it or no, I still feel that I love someone. Back then I used to think "If this person dies tomorrow, they will not know I loved them" so I just learnt new ways to say i love you, through actions for example. It's just sad to do so much for a person who doesn't do that much for me, but at least I've done what I have to do, so it's okay, I guess. When I feel like crying about what happened I listen to many songs, but this is always the first one. It's the one that make your tears come out because you feel free to express your pain, that's simply this song's job and it does it beautifully.

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

Thanks for sharing this. I also had feelings for a girl in the past, but we slowly drifted apart. She's had her share of mental problems, and I thought I should be the one to protect her from all evil. Eventually, I realized that whatever we had was destroying me from the inside, bc I had lost myself in it. I forgot to take care of myself and my own life, but thankfully I understood. I still think about her, and about the memories we made; it's not easy to forget someone who took your first kiss, heh. Still, everything just shattered, and the long-distance calls didn't exactly help.

[@thzaaai]

I lost a friend once. It's not that I'm afraid to love someone again, but I am being cautious now. It's always feels like I am okay, I can take this, everyone comes and go. But it surely takes a lot of time for me to recover and realised that my friend is not with me anymore. In the mean time, I couldn't think or love anyone else other than him, for me, it was the time of regretting, for not be able to do many things with him before he go. As time goes by, people did move on, but we never forget.

[@rachel-dc4ti]

i usually try to dissociate too, but sometimes it gets harder because iam unable to deal with it properly and it feels like everything comes at once. eight never fails to make me cry, i always think of jjong… i miss his light a lot.

[@amberpearce710]

Can’t believe you aren’t heard this song until now lol….Makes me think if have you listened to other songs produced by Suga for other artists like Wine by Suran and Eternal Sunshine by Epik High…(my universe remake by Suga) I called it a curse growing up, but throughout my entire life in school, I had to remake friends everywhere because at least one (sometimes that was my only friend) would move EVERY Year. From my elementary to high school (I would say college too but that is normal)….I think for me because of this I can really be friends with anyone or at least be good acquaintance but I have a really hard time like not distancing myself from relationships because, I would say, trying to protect myself, that them or myself is going to move or something. I personally haven’t really full on dated anyone yet so idk if it would be the same but for friendships/family sometimes too it can be hard for me to keep a bond strong for super long periods of time… (although I think sometimes is also has to do with the other person as well). Another thing also is I also got in a bad four wheeler accident in high school that also left some baggage or big changes in me that I fully haven’t understood, even now.

[@1tsaurora]

my grandpa passsed away in his sleep . When I was 2 years old I don’t remember anything with him but I’m glad he passed away safely and not in pain. My mom and everyone who knew my grandpa always say he was the kindest person I wish he could be here right now and see my now I miss him . Long after last 2 years my grandma passed away while a surgery she had breast cancer. I still have her bracelet she gave me when I was 9 she was my favorite grandma and person ever she would act as she was my mom and she loved playing a game called candy crush I miss my grandparents but I’m sure they’re happier together in heaven.❤

[@NJDMashups]

Anyones free to correct me on this, but I believe that that country house is the same house used in BTS’ Life Goes On mv. I could be wrong and it may just be different settings that happen to look similar.

[@kathyjohnson4212]

You need to watch it live where the both sing it's so beautiful and IU and Suga killed it. It was the 1st time it was ever sang live. Yes he showed his tattoo on his last live show. And also his VLive. On his Shoulder yes.

[@adindasalsabillaeffendi1494]

IU and sulli were pretty good friends, she even made two songs about sulli before, "Peach" and "The Red Queen", hope u enjoy that songs too

[@nyumiliz4385]

IU is Jungkook's idol...he's been a fan of hers pre audition & even sang her debut song for his audition....he always sings her songs or it's in the background...he released 2 versions of her song Ending Scene...he went to her 2 day concert in Seoul so he is a dedicated fan....the most iconic footage of Jungkook is him singing along to IU's performance of Through The Night at MMA 2017.

My dad died when I was 11 to and same thing happened to me to I didn’t cry at the moment until days after 😢.

[@212-sadiccharathod7]

I had exams I'm a day late but my grandpa passed away in 2020 not from corona but just health issues. He just started forgetting shit two months before he did leave us so I was mentally very prepared for things to go downhill. I didn't cry when the news that he passed away reached me but three or so weeks later I was in a bad state mentally. I did the biggest mistake of my life to tell my best friend of that time that I just missed my grandpa. He told me to get over it since it had been three weeks already, justifying it as since his grandma passed away when he was 7 it was alright. I don't mean to downplay his grief but I lived with my grandpa for 15 years of my life. I was meant to spend my sweet 16 with him on a date.. that never happened but just wanted to say that it doesn't matter how people cope with grief... it could be toxic yes, but still guiding them on the right path is an option... just don't downplay someone's grief. I lost a friend that day and I don't regret it one bit.

[@jujoonline8248]

17:03 My brother (14) died when I was seven and it definetly made me grow up a lot faster. I also thought most of my live that I would die young. first14 then 16 then 20. Now I am 20 years old and with that mindset I didn‘t plan ahead and don‘t have a dream so it was quite the struggle to move forward after getting out of school

[@iambarryallen]

And yes the dates thing is very real. IU LOVES numerology and hidden symbolisms

DKDKTV dont do correct explainations always. Just inform you

[@mami11420]

Which ones aren’t correct? And, at least regarding this one - David legit said it was just a theory, subjective. So anyone who has a brain and can think will hear him and know this isn’t the actual legit explanation behind the song. Or a main one as I haven’t seen IU explain fully what the song is about herself, just what others have said what she said about it. I can easily see why many would latch on to this theory tho. A reach or not, you can see the connections to her friends imho.
