The Kulture Study: JEONGHAN X WONWOO 'Last night' MV

[@rabisbkln]

Actually Jeonghan is trying to make everyone escape from reality and direct them to the dream world. He puts everyone to sleep and imprisons them in dreams. He enters everyone's dreams because he is afraid of being forgotten. Then he forgets his original purpose and drives people away from life, even if it is not pure evil and when Wonwoo realizes this, he goes after Jeonghan and then brings Jeonghan and everyone back to reality.

[@formoftherapy]

Oh my god that’s so tragic and beautiful and more nuanced than I could have imagined

[@barb2605]

@@formoftherapy I'm pretty sure the man who is afraid of being forgotten is actually Wonwoo. So Jeonghan is the guy that turned into a nightmare, and when he's invading people's dreams and turning them bad, he's taking up the space Wonwoo had made for himself by appearing in people's dreams and giving them everything they wanna see, which is what makes sure he is always remembered and talked about. Jeonghan traps them in nightmares where Wonwoo doesn't exist, and that's Wonwoo's biggest concern, biggest fear. So he starts this hunt after Jeonghan so he can both reclaim his place as some kind of "dream-maker" and also free Jeonghan, since he wasn't always like that. This is also not the easiest conclusion since it's a bit hard to get there from the MV alone, but the first concept trailer or something made it make a lot more sense for me.

oh i didn't mean to tag

@@barb2605 just listen to ‘THIS MAN’ Audiobook | '𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐍' it explains the story.

[@vonjing614]

@@barb2605 the audiobook is now up and it explains the whole story of the two THIS MAN. It seems the other way around. at the last part of the video, Wonwoo became the nightmare. and it was Jeonghan who is afraid to be forgotten. He (Jeonghan) traps people in their dreams. and it was Wonwoo who brought back Jeonghan to reality. :)

[@cristinadan1121]

So this is based as the album says on the urban legend of THIS MAN, a man that can appear in peoples dreams and gives them advice. They are both this man, both of them can manipulate dreams. So my take is jeonghan puts everyone to a sleep with sweet dreams. Basically hes creating his world away from the harsh reality hes running from where he is sad with all the people wearing the bedsheets. You can see the lights go out and how some buildings are covered when he does this. Wonwoo hears the people talking beside the vanding machine about someone who can make your wish come true at the beginning. He sees the people sleeping and wakes them up after giving them comfort. Both of them go through the door into the dream world and wonwoo starts chasing jeonghan, he eventually finds him in someones dream but jeonghan turns into dust to escape. So wonwoo keeps waking up everyone jeonghan puts to sleep. At the end when they finally meet, jeonghan falls to his knees at the same time the last building is unveiled and the lights are working everywhere in the city meaning wonwoo woke everyone up. I believe this last scene takes place into the dream world and by touching jeonghan and him collapsing, wonwoo actually wakes him up. That lamonade its the only thing coloured throughout the whole mv and all the people drink it after being woken up represents wonwoo making all of them face their reality even if its bitter. The last part where jeonghan is drinking lamonade, finally facing reality after running from it for so long its just ✨. Also theres a poster with "have you seen this man" on the street when people are walking by wonwoo, i believe its the same one from the teaser, it was half jeonghan and half wonwoo. Wonwoo said Jeonghan forgets his purpose so this is why he had to wake him up. Fun fact, nox its another name for nyx the goddess of night and it means darkness/night in latin, they are basically emphasising the song at the same time. This was what i came up with after watching the mv many times cause it was a little confusing at first. Hope im not wrong and this helps :) I loved the cinematography for this, the storyline and the music its just top notch. That guitar with the base and them singing in lower range almost wishpering at times adds to the atmosphere so much✨

[@BeverlyPennell]

"Nox" was also used in Harry Potter as a spell to turn off lights.

[@ylda22]

Wow! I love this comment so much!!! Thanks for taking the time to type this out.... and your interpretation seems spot on, based on how they described the mv for Na PD.... ❤

[@Teg-oi8bs]

Wow thanks for the detailed explanation

[@mai4717]

Yess this is the most reasonable explanation i've ever seen for this mv. A lot of ppl have been overanalyzing it, but its not that complicated

[@cielo9296]

I agree with your explanation. That's what I thought after watching the MV a few times. Both of them are "This Man"

[@wh1zz3lda]

They just released a 37min audiobook on their youtube channel that goes through the whole story. After rewatching the mv after it, you can pick up some of the details they put in. The story is hauntingly beautiful and tragic.

[@lyzahae_09]

THEIR VISUALS NEVER DISAPPOINT

one of the best in kpop ❤❤❤❤

Dropping a song about being scared to be forgotten before military service is profound❤

[@ameliaw8730]

first! the second I saw the MV I was so excited for PDs reaction!!

[@Nao-uy6mj]

I love it so much! PD there are b-sides (one Jeonghan solo and one Wonu solo) and an audio book explaining the story more! I think it would be great to see you react to the teasers and promo as well since the story stems really well from them

[@WiseSmellyLegs]

Unrelated observation: Every time JaeHyuk PD wants to start the reaction casually, the video starts with him taking a sip of coffee 😅

[@Aztm69]

The song gave me Nu'Est W Deja Vu vibes suuuuuper hard. Loving it already! ❤

I woke up and i wondered if pd was going to react to it and im glad this happened

[@timasongs6337]

really captured my heart ❤❤❤❤❤ ahhhhh wonhan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dsofic]

I strongly recommend you watch the teasers. They released a Prologue Film and an Audiobook teaser. Those two really give insight into the story and the concept, and they are amazing and just so beautifully made. And PD, you have to listen to the b sides FOR SURE! They each get one. Jeonghan's 'Beautiful Monster' is also hauntingly beautiful in the sense that, the music is very chill and pop-y, but the lyrics are darker. Whereas Wonwoo's 'Leftover' is a sweet, desperate ballad. Boy did a BALLAD! Both are phenomenal

[@Maweeheb]

JEONGHAN × WONWOO SUPREMACY

[@rabisbkln]

Aslında jeonghan herkesi gerçeklikten kaçırıp hayal dünyasına yönledirmeye çalışıyor herkesi uyutup rüyalara hapsediyor herkesin rüyalarına giriyor çünkü unutulmaktan korkuyor sonra en başta ki amacını unutup tam kötülük olmasa da insanları hayattan uzaklaştırdığı için wonwoo bunu fark edip jeonghan ın peşine düşüyor ve sonunda herkesi ve jeonghan ı gerçekliğe döndürüyor

[@Teefchu]

Chungha I'm ready and ennie minie !!!!!

[@taybabycarat]

In easy words, jeonghan is geto suguru who did something against his ethics and duties. Wonwoo being gojo hunting down jeonghan and putting him sleep. Later he took care of jeonghan, feeding him lemon juice bcz when life gives you lemon instead of sweetness, make your own lemonade

Love your work so much! Been a silent watcher, but I have to wonder, what is your perception now on AI in kpop? Not just concept art, but like lyrics using it to fully produce songs like (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hae3aHp5abiKfassi=vBc-8vZoUdLExiof&t=364). I don't see it replacing producers, but it's getting pretty good. Do you think AI has a place in KPOP in the coming years in a healthy way? At least in pitching songs? Or no? CONTINUE THE GREAT WORK! I highly respect your work and views. Love seeing the break downs.🥰
