Romance Authors React to [MV] IU(아이유) _ strawberry moon and [MMA 2021] IU - strawberry moon

[@clokem2002]

The dandelion here floats into the dandelion in Holssi. I can't remember the song but it was mention there also by IU. Generally there's a theme running through some of her songs.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

Thank you, that's what we thought xx

[@nnqn0710]

I think high on stage means that she have a good time performing. IU is very shy but when she performing you can tell that she have a great time from her smile on the stage. And yes, IU has known for have long concert, 3 hours of the main playlist and 2 hours of encore. She always tell her fan to look for kid and tell them to go home early because their parents will be worried, they can see the encore on KZbin😂

[@LeanAndLooReact]

Haha. That’s so cute. She’s so wholesome. ❤❤

There are many, include me among them, that consider Strawberry Moon to be part 4 of the series that started in 2011 with You & I continued in 2019 with Above the Time and Blueming, where in Blueming the couple were finally in the same time and space but separated by a wall. In Strawberry Moon, which was released in September of 2021, 10 years after You & I. In Strawberry Moon, the couple has finally been together as we see them sitting on a planet enjoying a dip of Strawberry Moon. NOTE: Strawberry Moon is the first full moon of June and denotes the start of the Strawberry harvest. The guy still wants to wander and steps across to another planet. IU let's go of his hand, he ask her to come with him but she doesn't. He tells her he will return and meet her under the Strawberry Moon. The video opens with her waiting for him and remembering their time together. He is waiting but he looks like he is afraid that she may not show up. She does show up and they are finally together forever. Scarlet Heart ended the only way it could end. It was throughly enjoyable and contains one of the best ost's of all time. However, in terms of story and the acting performance of IU and the cast My Mister remains one of the best kdramas of all time. I first saw IU in My Mister and didn't know at the time she was a singer. She so captured me from the very episode that I would actually worry about her in between episodes, something I had never experienced before. Little did I know at that time that she would continue to have an impact on me like no one else has ever had in all my now 70 years. I saw her concert in Atlanta, completing the last item on my bucket list. I don't understand why or how she has been able to have such a powerful effect on me, but she has. I tell people I can't explain it. But it is as if she is the embodiment of Love and Hope. One reactor early on in my journey made a comment that I told myself at the time, that this reactor has nailed it. What she said of IU after failing to fully express herself was she simply said " she was born under a star".

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@michaelfoley5295 She is the embodiment of love and hope. She has such warmth. We have definitely fallen for her humble charm. 💜💙 Thanks for the background to the MV. That’s good to know 😊😊

[@vidthreenorth4007]

The concert version was a vocal workout. It looks clearly like they sort of lost control of the balloon and it took a couple of minutes to pull it back to a landing spot. So she just kept singing while the crew struggled with it.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@vidthreenorth4007 that’s so scary. 😱

[@3astar]

IU sang Strawberry moon high up in a hot air balloon in a stadium during her The Golden Hour Concert 2022. This is a good fancam video of that moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-yZHyPqLB3eMk Her longest concert was 'dlwlrma.' Concert - Seoul 2018. It lasted about 5.5 hours.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@3astar Thank you for the links! 💙💜😊 it shows the internet has so many different stories - even for the length of concerts. Haha 😅 Around five hours sounds more realistic to what I’ve heard 💙💙💜 That’s still a long time to be singing. 😅😅 She’s a machine. 😂💜

[@clokem2002]

If U remembered correctly the stages were very cold when IU was recording the songs for hours. There is a iutv bts of the recording of IU literally freezing from the cold and had to cover up with blankets & keeping warm with hot water bottle in between takes.🥶

[@LeanAndLooReact]

She is such a professional x

[@mkoose]

Yes, moore IU.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@mkoose for sure 💜💜💙💙

[@sakura_sake7459]

My Mister have a happy ending tho. I hope you can check it out. Just like any drama, the characters had problems/issues/wounds on the start but they helped heal each other and reached a resolution at the end. It's actually a masterpiece, which for me, solidified IU as an actress.

[@aprxamr]

My queen IU❤

[@azra_aurora10]

Let me tell u something, IU only acts when the show is a heartbreaker....🤣🤣🤣 And yes, somehow the timing of this song also correlates with IU actually seeing her current boyfriend...so yeah, she's in love!!!!

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@azra_aurora10 Haha. 😆 That makes sense. 💜💙💜💜

[@IuToscana]

IU had a lot of pain in her left ear, it was after this presentation that we were informed that IU has a hearing disability in the left ear tube, this condition causes the ear tube to remain open and this causes IU to just listen his own voice, unbearable pains. IU is currently still undergoing treatment and with great improvement. IU also practices singing without hearing herself in case her condition worsens and she loses hearing in that ear.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@IuToscana That sounds so agonizing. She’s gone through so much. 😔

[@faith_es]

I watched Shōgun recently and it was deserving of every praise. I think it's become the most nominated show for the Emmys too which is so wild yet makes so much sense. You guys should try it!

[@LeanAndLooReact]

We definitely will. :)

[@clokem2002]

Scarlet Heart is based on the Chinese novel 1st made in China that became a hit drama. In China there is a sequel to tie up the loose ends so to speak but based on the present time. Korea remake it based on their own historical context but never followed up with the sequel. You can watch the Chinese sequel to ease your frustration 😂

[@LeanAndLooReact]

I think I have seen the chinese one lol. I am sure I cried to Loo about it hahah

[@Chiacchi86]

The "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" conversation 🤣🤣🤣 We were all in the same boat... But actually a second watch can mitigate the anger 😅 I recommend you (in your spare time) to watch some behind-the-scenes videos of IU regarding the songs you listen to (IUtv, or some talk show), because they give a broader meaning to her work. And I recommend "Knowing Brother" episode with the protagonists of Scarlet Heart Ryeo, so you can laugh a little and the trauma goes away 😝

[@LeanAndLooReact]

Hahah. We will have a look. I think Lean is permanently scarred. 😂😂

[@Chiacchi86]

@@LeanAndLooReact I think so, too 😅😅😅

[@Chiacchi86]

Thank you ❤❤❤ Fan fact: IU composed this song on the set of her movie "Broker". We were all expecting a deep and slightly sad song... and instead... 😅 IU has written many songs about love, and it's interesting to see that each one has a different point of view. There's a big difference between "Strawberry Moon" and "Flu", for example... In my opinion, she's very good at describing the various phases of love, and her brake up songs are always super interesting too 🧐 Another fact: during the live performance she was suffering very much for ear's problem 😢 So it is even more amazing ♥️

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@Chiacchi86 Wow! She’s such a creative genius. 💜💙💜💙 So sad about her ear. That must be so tough. You can’t even tell she was having issues. She’s perfect 👍💙💙💜💜

[@Chiacchi86]

@@LeanAndLooReact she truly is a professional 👏🏻 We knew about that way later, because of the IUtv episode behind the scenes. Really, you need to go to a concert in the future... It is impossible to explain it with words... In Berlin she couldn't sing very long during the en-encore (due to the venue schedule), but she sang four very difficult songs requested by the audience as she was fresh like in the start... Later we knew she was actually trembling for exhaustion and hunger 😅♥️♥️♥️

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@Chiacchi86Aww. 😢 that breaks my heart. 😢 She needs all the food, love and hugs in the world. ❤❤❤

[@Chiacchi86]

@@LeanAndLooReact She ate right after, so it's ok 😉 And she was very, very happy... I think she had never realized how much she is loved outside Asia so, when she realized it, she sang the encore with all her soul and lost all her strength 😅

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@Chiacchi86 Aww. ☺️

[@azra_aurora10]

Actually, you have covered many of the more popular IU pieces...so yeah both of you are catching up fast despite your scheduling & personal situations/preferences.... You have covered her latest MVs (Love Wins All, Shopper, Shhh & Holssi), some of her popular "new" MVs (Celebrity, Coin, Lilac, Strawberry Moon, Bbibbi, Eight), some of her old MVs (23 & Good Day), her documentary, her live performances (My Sea, Love Poem & Strawberry Moon) and some of her extras (IU being queen of honesty). So yeah, not bad at all.... I feel that you should consider watching her killing voice performance next and perhaps one of her interviews (either IU interviewing someone or her being interviewed)...that will give both of you an almost complete view of her talent & personality....

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@azra_aurora10 Ooh thanks! 😊 We definitely do that. 😊💜💙 Great suggestions! Thanks for supporting us. Uaenas are all so lovely. ☺️

[@sanmingyeh4930]

People talk IU’s talent and personal a lots. How ever without her creative, IU’s stream might stopped during her twenties.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@sanmingyeh4930 yes! She’d be a writer in another life. She’s a poet. 💜💜💙💙

[@HollyGolightly-lo5ez]

That live version makes me a bit sad cuz that’s when she had to pause several times when filming that, due to the pain of her ear symptoms worsening. I think it was right before she found out she had Patulous Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. But she seems to be managing it well now during her tour. Looking forward to the Black Out/Last Night Story Performance 👍 Lots of people were mad & traumatized by the ending of Scarlett Heart LOL Btw, are you guys gonna try for her final encore concert in Seoul on 9/21 or 9/22? Her Korean concerts are much longer than her U.S concerts due to the time restrictions.

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@HollyGolightly-lo5ez you could never tell from her performance that she was in so much pain. That is so sad. We would love to go to her concert, but unfortunately, I’ll be moving over to Korea only in November or December. An IU concert is on our list for 2025 😊😊

[@HollyGolightly-lo5ez]

@@LeanAndLooReact Oh I see. I heard it wrong, thought you said you’ll be arriving on August :) But you might have to wait for 2026 because she’ll probably be in full actress mode next year. But who knows, maybe she’ll throw a smaller fan concert on her Sept anniversary.. if you can fight for the tickets 😅 Wishing you safe travels to IU land!

[@LeanAndLooReact]

@@HollyGolightly-lo5ez I was supposed to arrive in August but unfortunately they need more paperwork that comes from South Africa and I am currently living in United States so I have to wait an extra two months for paperwork 😅💀 and I lost the job that I was supposed to start - due to paperwork - and it was such a lovely job. But never fear. I’m currently applying for jobs that start in December. 😅

반응영상 너무 잘 보았습니다. 루님께 실례를 무릅쓰고서, 몇 가지 질문드리고 싶은 것이 있습니다. 그동안 살아오신 환경과 판이하게 다르다시피한 문화권이라고 할 수 있는 한국에서 사시려고 하는 이유가 무엇인지가 가장 궁금하지 않을 수 없어서 이 부분이 가장 여쭙고 싶고요, 그리고 혹시 한국에 오시면 한국의 어느 지역에 계실 예정이신지도 궁금합니다. 또한 혹시 사실 곳을 이미 정해놓으신 건지, 아니시면 아직 정하지 않으신 건지도 궁금하고요, 그리고 사실 곳을 정하셨다면, 한국의 어느 곳이고, 그곳을 선택한 이유는 무엇인지 등도 궁금합니다. 그동안 많이 궁금했었는데, 어쩌면 크게 실례되는 말인 것도 같아서, 여쭙지 않았었는데, 도저히 참을 수 없이 너무 궁금해져서 결국은 여쭈어봅니다. 물론 너무 당연하지만, 불편하시다면, 답변을 하지 않으셔도 되겠습니다. 헤헤.

그것은 무례한 질문이 아닙니다. 그것은 정말로 달콤한 질문입니다. 💙💜💙 저는 한국어를 배워왔고, 당신의 아름다운 언어를 정말 사랑하고, 한국 음식을 사랑하기 때문에 한국으로 건너가고 싶습니다. 저는 또한 지구를 탐험하는 것을 좋아합니다. 저는 꽤 많은 나라에 살았습니다. 그리고 저는 새로운 문화에 대해 배우는 것을 사랑합니다. 저는 미국에서 10년 동안 살았고, 미국은 저에게 좋은 곳이 아니었습니다. 저는 미국에서의 삶은 많은 고통으로 가득 차 있었습니다. 저는 중간 관리직에서 기업 분야에서 일했습니다. 암이 발생한 이후로, 저는 기업 생활에서 벗어나 세계를 조금 더 탐험하고 아름다움을 찾기로 결심했습니다. 💜 저는 또한 예술 경력을 쌓고 갤러리에 제 작품을 전시하고 싶은 순수 예술가입니다. 저는 또한 더 많은 책을 쓰고 싶고, 한국을 영감으로 사용하고 싶습니다. 천안에서 가르치기로 되어 있었지만, 남아프리카 공화국에서 온 더 많은 서류 작업이 필요해서, 지금은 다른 마을의 다른 교사 일에 다시 지원하고 있습니다. 저는 서울 근처에서 직업을 얻을 수도 있지만, 대구 근처에도 지원했습니다. 저는 여가 시간에 한국의 나머지 지역을 탐험하고 싶기 때문에 한국에서 어디서 일하는지 상관하지 않습니다. 요약하자면, 저는 한국에서 약간의 평화를 찾고 싶습니다. 저는 다시 행복한 저의 모습을 찾고 싶습니다. ❤❤ - Loo 😊😊

@@LeanAndLooReact 아, 그러셨군요. 너무도 상세하시고도, 친절하시게 답변주셔서 몸둘 바 모르게 대단히 감사합니다. 한 가지 우려되는 점이 있어 말씀드리지만, 한국의 대구는 물가도 저렴한 편이고 사람들의 인심도 괜찮은 곳이긴 하지만, '대프리카'란 별칭이 있을 정도로, 산지로 사방이 가로막혀서 한국에서 가장 무더운 것이라는 점 참고하시기 바랍니다. 천안은 한국의 지방도시중에서는 서울이나 서울 경기 수도권 지역에서 가장 가까운 지역이어서, 여러가지 장점이 많은 도시이지 않나 생각되어서, 꽤 괜찮은 선택지인 것 같다고 생각됩니다. 다만 루님께서 좋아하시는 바닷가쪽하고는 많이 떨어진 곳이라는 점에서는 아쉬운 부분이 없지 않다고도 생각되는군요. 한국의 어느 곳으로 가게 되시던, 최대한 좋은 주변인들을 만나시어서, 조금이라도 머나 먼 타지에서의 고달품과 외로움을 잘 극복하실 수 있기를 바랍니다. ^^
