[@0526svtcarat]

FYI for those who do not know The8 (fellow carats and 8stars, feel free to comment under me to correct anything or provide additional clarification) The8 is a Chinese member of the kpop group SEVENTEEN. The group consists of 13 members, 3 units, and they are 1 team (added all together equals 17). The unit The8 (or Minghao) is in is performance unit which focuses on dance. despite the units of seventeen, all members are excellent in singing and dancing (they can all be main dancers if in other groups); perf unit is just more specialized (it is apparent if you check it their other mvs w just the perf team). Each member has their own vocal color and character. Minghao is one of the more artistic and introspective members. Over the years, he has released at least one solo project that shows a different side of him, a different development. He is a romantic, one who enjoys the serenity of nature, and has a love for his family and his home. Hai cheng is the name of his hometown in China and the song is deeply colored by him (he also co-wrote it). I recommend his other solos if you enjoyed this. Night and rain is a mixtape (watch from seventeenlyrics bc it’s an unofficial song), dreams come true, falling down, roots, and side by side. He also has contemporary art videos (he hasn’t had official training in contemp dance so he calls it art instead of dance). He has a few duets with his fellow China member of seventeen, Jun: My I (in Korean and chinese- both w different meaning), mother’s missed call and a couple other songs.

The symbolism and meanings in this video is so ambiguous. But definitely the waves being something he has to "protect" her from, and when the time he's finally accepted to be that "tower" to protect her from the waves that he's been avoiding in the entire MV, she disappears from him. Maybe he realizes the reality of the situation or maybe simply its just something else but man the symbolism and meanings can dig deep.

I love how Minghao is breaking the stigma of idols not being able to interact with potential dating partners in videos!! Which exonerates the proof of his professionalism!! This is just gold!! 🙏🏼🙋🏼‍♀️😻

I'm not a very emotional person but i don't know why this song had me tearing up lol.

According to me, I guess there is a reference or inspiration from the film "Le ballon rouge" (1956). It was in his recent Instagram feed. The film depicts a dark and grey city which gives a depressing mode setting with a bright red ballon symbolizing hope and happiness. The red ballon is indeed a simple and beautiful symbol used as we can see in the MV that it leads him to that person in whom he found his hope and happiness and the desperate need to protect her.

[@hadianotahmad9206]

Except the lyrics 😐

[@vindicatedtruth]

Sometimes home is a place. And sometimes home is a person. Home is where you find your purest happiness, and this song demonstrates how painful it is to lose your home. It’s the way you feel lost without an anchor when you lose that which-whom-you love.

this is what situationship a day before u never talk again feels like

The way the vibes of this song contrast with "Side by Side" really tells a lot about The8's musical versatility... He is really a great artist

[@tvseciwt8738]

And also dreams come true😊

I love the red balloon scene where he was holding it & gave it to the lady. Le Ballon Rouge was a symbol of hope & happiness in a grey city. In this mv, it’s like he’s saying that “i’m sharing my happiness with you”. And I think that is very beautiful.

Really , very beautiful !

I think he name the song Hai Cheng because 海 (Hai) means "ocean" while 城 (Cheng) something like "fortified structure" which we can connect with the verse: 2:59 when he say I think this song has a very similar character to Hao's: mature, sweet, nostalgic... You can recognize so well that this is one of Minghao's songs. I was also happy that they added some dance steps as it's his great passion 💕 COME ON CARAT! We have to thank him for this beautiful gift ❤🐸

Not gonna lie. It's a masterpiece. This is the kind of sound 've been wanting to hear from their Korean releases. It's so beautiful. It's soothing. I am out of words. It suits him ㅠㅠ

Everyone: “This is the worst year ever” THE 8 STAN: “Sorry but not for us” STAN THE 8 FOR A BETTER LIFE!

The scarf!! The scarf his mom gave to him I felt like he was taking me with his emotions. I was smiling then I am now crying huhuhu My heart can’t handle this!!

[@oceanblueeyes_]

Hai Cheng heals me to my bones. I just find it so precious that this song gives me peace every afternoon as i lay in our doorstep and enjoy the sun. I could never get over it. I've never experienced breaking up with a partner, but I've experienced losing a loved one more than once or twice. How i wish The8 and other members could make more songs like this.

[@arielle6983]

Minghao almost became my bias after becoming a carat since this song is one of the first songs I've heard from seventeen and its really my genre and the lyrics and message is just comforting and calming i really love this

[@suppa_jai]

who's your bias now?
