IU – eight (Prod.&Feat. SUGA of BTS) Explained by a Korean

This is an subjective/alternative explanation & theory of IU's 'eight' music video. There is no intention of disrespecting Sulli, Hara and Jonghyun, but rather tries to spread more awareness against hate comments, by trying to understand the pain and message that might underlie in this MV.

Wow🙏

JK will love her and not leave her!

first i didn't really understand the lyircs/theme of the song but refering it to her passed friends they really do make more sense to me… i'm not sure if all interpretations are true (cause people tend to over interpret things that the artist didn't intend) but i think the suicides must have had a huge impact in iu's life and her feelings overall so it would be natural those feelings would also flow into the song she made about being 28… either way it's a beautiful song and i think can be applied to several aspects of life

IM CRYING RIGHT NOW HAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Hi David! I've been watching your videos and I'm a fan! Keep up the great work on ur videos 🙂

I love how you explained things. Woww just wowww. You speak English fluently. Well done! 👏👏👏👏

His explanation was so clear and understandable… Thank u..

I LOVE THIS COMMENTARY. IU is my most favorite! Since I live outside of Korea and Korean isn't my first language, I rely on videos like this one to gain a deeper understanding of her art. 고맙습니다

I felt sad.

This view of the song made me cry. It’s beautiful.

Hi! I watch your video a lot and I really love your MV/Song Explained video. Can u please explain your theory about Day6 Zombie? It talks about burnouts and probably depression. It is really interesting especially on this pandemic. Thank you 😊

Honestly, i cried….

ok but who’s cryinnnnn!!!😩😩i can’t handle this omggg

8= 3->1

Great! You explained it beautifully

I teared up when I first listen to the song, now I'm holding up more tears while listening to the explanation.

Love your explanations. Thank you for your work

I cried watching this ! This is so sad !

NO SHI I GOT GOOSEBUMBS

huh I didn't know any of this, I only heard 3 or 4 songs from IU and I love her voice but listening/watching Eight was great but knowing all of this made me realize just how strong she is. Also it made me think what were her friends last moments are?

this had me in tears :(( the melody felt so happy when i first heard it and genuinely lifted my spirits but after knowing the lyrics, it's so sad and made me tear but the song overall i guess is iu's way of moving forward with her three sulli, jonghyun and go hara in her memories forever. this song is a literal masterpiece <3

I love this song and it is really have deep meaning here. But I am sorry i want to say something out of the topic, can you make a MV review about DAY6 – Zombie? because their lyrics is actually happen to everyone of us in this world. Thank you in advance.

It might only your theory, but I’m tearing and sad 😣😣😢

Wow! I appreciate the explanation. I never even thought about those clues on the MV..
