⒝⒜⒮⒤⒞, MV info

||

• The MV is shot by Astro, and it was released on May 28th of 2017.

~

• The song itself is part of the album "Dream pt.1", which is an album that gets out of their "season themed" albums like Spring up, Summer vibes etc. So the group finally stepped out of it, and created a completely new concept and style, also not to say the name of the album.

~

• This song, knowing its group, has a very summer type vibe to it, which has lead to really great success with this song. The theme - bubbly, fresh, cute and catchy tunes

~

• This is one of K-pop’s rising acts to watch, the group itself has seen (what I found) three ... three albums place on the World Albums chart and last year’s “Breathless” peaked at No. 21 on the World Digital Songs chart. They even performed one year at KCON LA within half a year of their first album’s release, hyping up the crowd with their bubbly set.

~

Personal thoughts?

||

Personally I really loved the concept and the message Astro told us though this video. MV itself us very catchy, and has a very good vibe to it, which lead me to love both this song and them as artists.

ΙΝΤΓΟ

||

<~>

||

The MV itself starts from someone's point of view - aka the girl's, who sees Eunwoo, one of the opening up the D. Shop (Dream shop probably and obviously)

<~>

<~>

Some noticeable details in that screenshot:

~

• On the shop the group's name is written, so is its fandom name - Aroha.

• On the window it shows 7 favor drinks, which at first seemed strange to me since the group only consists of 6 , but after looking through their teaser images, I found that there at some points are 6 different drinks (more details later) and honestly - 7th is for the one who entered the shop at the start. :)

||

<~>

||

Song continues, when the "girl", aka same mysterious person referred as -baby- on this mv, is showed around the place inside of D. Shop. She sits down as she gets a menu card.

<~>

<~>

Some noticeable details in these screenshots:

~

• On one of the shot we get to see finally the all 7 different kinds of drinks - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, (Blue but its seen not so much in shot), Dark Blue and Purple.

• Next shot introduces us to list of the same drinks, showing also some descriptions that aren't visible unfortunately

||

<~>

||

Then, after she sees the menu, there is a flash of each member holding a specific kind of drink, almost as a choice, that this girl can choose. It gets through all 6 , showing the connection at start, to what colors they are belonging to.  

<~>

~

~

<~>

Some noticeable details in the screenshots:

~

• In these screenshots we see each member's connection to specific drinks/colors:

Moonbin - Red;

MJ - Orange;

Sanha - Yellow;

Eunwoo - Blue;

Rocky - Dark blue.

• Interesting enough, the last drink - purple, isn't associated with any of the . It's meant for the same girl that's observing this group's confession to her through this song.  

• More details as of what each color means will be described later, but some descriptions we already see in shot of Red, Orange and Yellow drinks.

ΜΙDΓΕ ΡΑΓΤ (disclaimer - pretty long)

||

<~>

||

After the girl sips the drink, she is pulled to some kind of - dimension(haha quality description here), where she meets all by their colored rooms. In some shots their rooms are even connected, but its shown only for second, before switching to choreography parts and song itself

<~>

~

<~>

Some noticeable details in the screenshots:

~

• Each member has been given their own room, in which you can see things each member like and things that are related to them:

|

V

❧ Monbin shares a room with kitchen furniture and its features. He has a stove/kitchen island in the center, where he's positioned in most of the song, and side table with chairs.

❧ MJ is in a room, where in middle of it there's a trampoline with balls on it (same as Eunwoo), a broom stick and other props for his very bubbly and party theme.

❧ Sanha shares a room, where there are yellow plants placed on the floor, a big pillow, and his bright yellow guitar. You can spot some other props as well.

❧ Rocky shares a room, where on center is placed a stage resembling a boxing ring, but mostly he uses it as dancing stage.

❧ Eunwoo shares a similar colored room as Rocky, but his room is more like a bedroom to me. There is a two story type structure, with a "bed" on its second, with a slide to the first. Also in centre there is a bathtub with blue and white balls (similar to MJ's room).

❧ JinJin's room is sport themed - with a basketball and basketball court, a skateboard and many other props. Also a microphone.

• Noticeable is that - they all have lights, lamps of their signatures they previously showed on drinks (rocks, car, crescent moon, 777, slow and Sanha's signature).

• Later in the video it shows that their rooms are connected (Eunwoo is last to the left side, Moonbin is probably last to the right side), shows their (probably) bond to one and other.

||

<~>

||

Of course, until the end/Outro [2.33], these is shown a bit of glimpse to every member ad what they do in their so called "rooms". Every one is also doing some silly things, such as: Moonbin is blending popcorn; MJ throws a ball, which Eunwoo catches; Sanha is singing while playing his guitar and etc.

<~>

ΟΠΤΓΟ

||

<~>

||

After the interlude, that connects middle part and now starts off the outro, there is shown every member once again in their best positions. Then, after a while, when all meet up outside from the rooms - the girl wakes up back at the cafe again, at the same place she was before.

<~>

~

~

~

<~>

Some noticeable, worthy details in the first screenshots:

~

• After the sad part of this song, it's broken by a rap part before the bubbly tune starts all over again, as each member expresses it with different positions (jumping, standing, smiling, etc.)

• Eunwoo is only one, whose room starts to fill up with confetti.

• They all gather up almost at the end of song in split up groups - Eunwoo, Moonbin, Sanha and JinJin, MJ, Rocky (seemingly, hopefully rappers and vocals).

||

<~>

||

After the girl wakes up back at the shop, all 6 gather up and give this same girl a gift consisting of all 6 kind of drinks + the 7th special one. The MV ends with all of them waving to the girl as she leaves.

◇

~Time keeps ing

Then my thoughts keep growing

It’s like it’ll swallow me up

I close my eyes but you get clearer

◇

~I suddenly get up

Put my hand up in the dark emptiness

I don’t know why

You flicker before my eyes

◇

~Only silence fills up this night

It shakes me up

The world is spinning

You keep coming into my heart

I can’t just look at you

I will go to your house
