선미(SUNMI) 'STRANGER' MV

Bro not all Korean songs means K-pop K-pop is KOREAN POP, why people can’t understand it… for example IU she’s Korean singer but she’s not K-pop artist

[@joeg1709]

@@mdo_4578 that is exactly what I meant dude. This is more than the "standard" that people think of. I like it. And BTW, Rolling Quarts are in my top 5 Korean bands, so I get that not all Korean music is k-pop.

[@mdo_4578]

@@joeg1709 yeah cuz most people when they hear Korean music they’re like “K-pop” like tf?

[@joeg1709]

@@mdo_4578 well, to be fair, in most of the world, k-pop is the only type of Korean music that is marketed at any level. For example, The Rose is at Coachella this weekend. They are a talented band. But all anybody knows is that LA Serrafim is there. So you also can't blame casual music fans if k-pop is the only thing that rings a bell

[@dumigumii5096]

[@reina_harhar7815]

When I first heard this and read the lyrics, my mind kinda connected the beat changes as the uncanny emotions and creepy tendencies Sunmi does here. She meets this stranger and begins to be interested in them but she doesn't know how to approach them and is conflicted between two sides of herself. A pure one but fake or someone a bit eerie but also interesting. She makes an image of herself that represents her other way of approach to see the difference. Only to find out that neither of them will ever work. Her mind, the beat changes, they're all her internal emotions to this stranger. Yet what she thinks will never work out because she looses herself in the process (like what's shown in the MV where her other self is taken away). The entire ordeal is her "trying to find herself" because she's the only thing she has for now.

[@billybuzy]

She’s here for the art. Only legends do this

[@gemmaalexa3250]

Based on the MV and the way she is creating and seeking out her "best self," maybe Mr stranger is the thing that takes her away from herself. Like her BPD. Something like a monster, hiding and waiting to snatch her up when she is least expecting it. She is searching for the answers in the darkness but only finds herself again. Her imperfect self, loose screws and all. But that almost "unhinged" quality is what makes her "Sunmi." Someone unique, someone captivating. She can't help but film her movements, appearing mesmermized. She becomes beholden to her own condition.

[@yueliadragonflavour731]

This is the kind of comment I have been looking for~~

[@gemmaalexa3250]

​@@yueliadragonflavour731omg same!! We need some deep analysis videos too lol I was just writing stuff at lunch while watching it again. Trying to understand the significance of the figure she runs away with. Especially when you consider, there's no male dancers. She talks about "Mr" Stranger yet only the only "man" who appears in the entire MV is the figure she ran away with. Every other scene is just her (and her back up dancers who otherwise have their identities covered, making them more of an extension of Sunmi). She's only concerned with "fixing" herself or crafting a "best version." I think the short film provides a lot more context and story! She released the director's cut today. I don't have time to think on it too deeply though lol I hope other people can analyze it for us 😅😂

[@b_rnnnn]

This is the comment I was trying to look for! I heard of Sunmi having BPD and when I saw the teasers for 'Stranger,' I had a hunch of what it would be like. It's a subtle way of expressing herself bcs tbh most people just take this as a dangerous love song or whatever but it's more than that.

[@livetaster6943]

Yo, This description is beautiful

[@Juliana-tf7zh]

Since she already spoken about her borderline disorder... Makes sense

[@half-waydecent5261]

This is the most experimental Sunmi has gotten with her music and I think it really works. She’s always been on her own path in the k-genre

[@ndiiclown]

Coming back to this bc wow. I’m not one to give critics on music bc im truly not that talented like the rest of you all lol but i love when kpop songs accurately incorporate concept within the sound of the music. To me the video screams creepy chilling uncomfortable disturbing and the music gives you exactly that! The beat changes is one thing but the choice of beat as well is so sublime ahhhh. It delivered the concept and that’s what actually made me like this song more. Thank you queen🫶🏽

[@thucanhpham8825]

Everything, the concept, the visuals are incredible. But I wish these were 3 different songs because each beat is really catchy.

[@excujime]

I usually say that exact sentence but this song was intentionally done like this to make listeners feel this eeriness. It's honestly mind blowing...

[@cpd7373]

곡의 서로 동떨어져 있는 듯한 분절적인 구성과 괴리감, 고조되는 사운드가 마치 이방인을 만났을 때의 낯설고 무서운 감정과도 같아 이것을 의도하여 각각 분절된 믹스팝의 형식을 취한 듯 보입니다. 곡을 들으면서 이러한 선미의 의도를 파악해보니 선미의 창의적인 설계에 감탄이 나왔고, 이내 아차! 싶어 무릎을 저절로 치게 되었습니다. 새로운 나를 찾아가는 과정이 낯설고 두렵지만 결국 만들어 내서 ‘나’라는 한 사람을 이루는 것. 분리되어있지만 함께인 또 다른 나를 마주한다는 것. 선미는 이렇게 자기 자신을 ‘STRANGER'로 칭하며 새롭고 낯선 자신을 찾아 만들어내는 위대한 창조의 과정을 예술적이고 섬세한 감성으로 표현해낸 것 같습니다. 아티스트 선미의 모든 행보를 응원합니다..!

[@yo0h.-z]

항상 생각하지만 선미 언니는 정말 똑똑하다. 자기객관화도 무서울정도로 잘하는데 동시에 추진력도 좋아서 꾸준히 앨범을 내면서 그 시대의 세련된 음악을 끊임없이 뽑아낸다는 건 정말 미친듯한 노력과 겸손이 아니고서는 못할 것 같은. 그냥 단지 예쁜 가수가 아니라 정말 똑똑하게 치열하면서 또 따뜻하고 마음이 참 곧은 가수인 것 같다. 왠만해서는 댓글 안 달고 멀리서 응원했는데 이번 앨범까지 들으면서 개인적으로 많이 감동하고 힘이 되었어요. 너무 고맙고 앞으로도 오래 음악 만들어주세요! 🫠💛

[@shatteredshards8549]

The composition of this song is so different, with the tempo changes and the spoken chorus. I love that Sunmi isn’t afraid to experiment with her sound. I also love that the music video is perfect timing for Halloween, and has this IKEA build-a-monster plot.

She was so sweet to Eunchae and honestly after hearing about her career and seeing how mature and selfaware she is I wanted to pay my respect, so I came here to listen to her new song and boy did I get a surprise. It was so not what I expected it feels like a remix in a good way...and her voice...dear god. I will be adding this to my playlist. 🙈

[@mrjackpots1326]

Throughout her musical history, Sunmi has rebelled against the limits imposed on her by Korean culture, the Kpop industry, and fame itself. The identity of Sunmi the human being, which was created by all of that has been gradually rejected. What is left? The Stranger ie Carl Jung's archetype, the Shadow Self. The dark side of the personality that everyone has, but do not want to acknowledge. The part that is not imposed by society, but comes into the world with us buried deep in the most ancient part of our DNA. It's powerful, dangerous, and exciting. By removing most of what society tells us we are, you will inevitably come face to face with the Shadow self, because it cannot be banished only suppressed. That is what culture is for and war is the ultimate expression of when culture fails to suppress the Shadow. Sunmi seems to be struggling with that and we'll have to wait to see what she does. It's not over.

Sunmi de las pocas artistas que ven este medio como un arte, siempre haciendo música única y totalmente diferente y elaborada, todas sus canciones tienen un toque único que la hace ser ella, nunca se va por lo fácil o lo que está de moda. Ella es tan artística en toda su música, todo lo que transmite hace que me encante esta mujer y lo que hace. Como siempre tan talentosa y hermosa y sus canciones nunca me decepcionan, me encantá!. ♡

[@amanda_.]

I'm tired seeing those delusional Seulgi stans disrespecting SUNMI the Queen of Concepts everywhere. SUNMI's concepts always inspired by her own life story, her past works, some movies and Miyane. The audicity to claim she's inspired by or copied 28 Reasons acting as if 28 Reasons was too original when even some concept photos/scenes from 28 Reasons have similarities with (or should I said copied) same shots in SUNMI's previous releases like Siren, Noir, Pporappippam, Tail, Oh Sorry Ya, Heart Burn and even one part of the dance also similar to one part of Gashina. SUNMI is known for her amazing artistry and has what it takes to stay relevant in this challenging industry even after 16 years from debut, which there's no certainty their fave can even achieve that so they better stop disrespecting her.

[@chee7638]

Finally someone say this! I also noticed the similarities of 28R with Sunmi's previous MVs/photos but didn't comment anything when it came out, but her fans really want to be annoying and disrespectful!

선미는 어쩜 이렇게 자기한테 잘 어울리는, 잘 소화할 수 있을 분위기를 매번 조금씩 색다르게 가져오는지 모르겠어ㅠ ㅠ 진짜 자기를 잘 알고있고 완성도 높은 결과물에서 그만큼 깊이 고민한 티가 나서 이제는 정말 아이돌 출신 선미가 아닌 한명의 어엿한 아티스트로 대우해야할거같아(물론 훨씬 전뷰터 이미 아티스트였지만). 달콤함을 마냥 달콤하지 않게, 아름다움을 마냥 아름답지않게 표현하는 선미만의 다층적인 이야기와 분위기가 매번 가슴을 울린다 😢 여러명의 선미가 나오고 그 안에서 선미가 선미를 안아주는 장면이 괜히 찡하면서도, 선미 머리의 나사를 돌리는 선미를 보면서는 섬찟하기도 하고 서글프기도 하면서 묘한 기분이 들었다 선미의 페르소나일까 세상밖으로 출격시키는. 여러가지 은유를 감각적으로 자기만의 예술방식으로 표현해내는 선미가 나는 매번 너무너무 기다려지고 또 기대된다. 아직도 선미의 예술 세계를 감상할수있단게 가슴벅차고 행복해. 이번 곡은 특히 잔혹동화 느낌이 잔뜩 풍겨져나오는 멜로디 라인과 감각적인 비트, 선미의 세련된 음색이 조화로와서 너무너무 좋다. 중독성있게 귓가에 속삭이듯 맴도는 라인들도 좋다. 이렇게 반복구간이 많은 노래는 자칫 단조롭거나 내용이 빠질수있는데 동화적인 멜로디가 노래 전반에 이야기가 깃든 인상을 줘서 굉장히 새롭고 독특하면서도 매력적임. 선미야 무대활동도 기대할게 건강 잘 챙기면서 행복하게 활동하기를 🥰
