IU & Tang Wei's 'Shh' Music Video Interpretation

 

Tang Wei (h) is watching someone from the car.


On the road she's looking at, there's IU (s).


Tang Wei, who follows IU. Tang Wei seems to know who IU is.


IU approaches Tang Wei.




Why are you staring?

IU looks into Tang Wei's eyes.


The two of them head to a house



There are photos of IU and her daughter there.


"Even the vacant stare seems to resemble her,
Could it be because they share the same eyes?"



Tang Wei discovered a closed warehouse.



IU approaches and opens it.
A pleasant nightmare, an unpleasant dream.



Tang Wei decides to tell IU the truth.



The path where IU stood was the path Tang Wei was looking at, the path of a mother.



The daughter is confined for loving her mother,
In the red warehouse away from reality,
In a pleasant nightmare, an unpleasant dream, perhaps in her own heart.


Tang Wei looks distressed.
She tells her mother to leave her, so she won't be confined by her.
Even if that means she'll never see her again...



Having heard the story, IU gently strokes Tang Wei.


And then she tells her own story.



-She shouldn't be here too.
Where Tanwei was, the place where IU was watching, the daughter's spot.


"Actually, I saw you first."
IU recognized her daughter at first sight.



"She was my friend long ago. I hid her away, too."
And IU confesses about the experience of confining someone just like that.

In the blue reality, they head towards the car trunk.


In the crimson dream, Tang Wei finds himself in IU's place.


IU, between reality and dream where Tang Wei stands, knows the truth.
Whether this is reality or a dream.



And what Tang Wei faces is herself in the crimson dream


And also in the blue reality.
The person IU has confined is Tang Wei's past and present, dream and reality.



IU, who told the truth, looks sad

Tang Wei, who heard the story, looks confused

The mother knew she was her daughter
And in response to the suggestion of departing for her sake,
She insists that she won't leave.


The daughter and IU lie just like Tang Wei in the previous scene, gazing at each other,
as if they've confined each other,
Within the world of mother and daughter.
"Connecting each other"
"How special we are"



IU looks at Tang Wei with the eyes that were once gazing at her daughter.


"At last, time reflects your eyes"

The mother sees the daughter's future.
The daughter of the future meets the mother of the past.



Now Tang Wei understands.
That her mother recognized her first.
Even though her mother knows everything,
She will still stand on that road, waiting for her.

So now, it's okay to wake up from this dream, because she met her mother and heard her story, even if she's not there when she wakes up from the dream...



In reality, her mother had her own life.
The time no one confined her.
But the picture of her mother will eventually change into a picture of mother and daughter.





And once again, the meeting of mother and daughter repeats,
Two people who confine each other and recognize each other.


-Ah... After reading it all, why am I feeling so emotional? Thank you for the wonderful interpretationㅠㅠ I miss my mom.

-So sadㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

-I didn't understand, but after reading this post, I somewhat get it. Tearsㅠㅠ

-I've had thoughts like that too... How nice would it be if my mom didn't just give birth to me and live her own life freely? She's the type of person who enjoys studying and likes challenges. But if I say this, my mom would choose me, so watching this music video's interpretation, I recall the times when I had such thoughts before ㅠ

-While watching it, although I didn't have an exact interpretation, there were parts that struck a chord with me... the relationship between a mother and daughter seems really complicated, difficult to just describe as a parent-child relationship.

-It might sound cruel to the mom.. but if I ever see my past mom, I want to tell her not to choose me, not to get married, but just live more freely.

-I feel like the relationship between a mom and daughter is the most complex one. 

-I got into an argument with my mom today, now my heart feels even more complicated. 

-I had this kind of conversation with my mom yesterday... she said she regrets the time she lost because of me.

-If my child were to come back in time to meet the younger me, I feel like I would still choose you. However, if I were to meet our younger mom, instead of choosing me, I'd want her to live as she wishes. 

-Thinking about my mom, I want to tell her not to marry my dad but to pursue her dreams. But when I think about my daughter, I want to meet her even if I have to be born againㅠㅠㅠ

-Many daughters have thought about this at least onceㅠㅠㅠ

-I've never really thought about what my mom was like before she became my mom... By the way, IU, who has these thoughts and wrote this song, seems really romantic and affectionate

IU shared a letter from Tang Wei along with a photo of them together

 

 


Jieun, do you know that?
I wanted to tell Ji-eun about the two touching moments I felt while filming.
When the director directed me during filming, I felt a resonance in my heart when I heard the lyrics "Her eyes resemble her mother's" that you wrote. It was something I had never thought about before. Since becoming a mother after my child was born, mothers always worry about whether their child's eyes really resemble theirs, but I had never thought about whether I resemble my own mother. So, at that moment, I felt a strong desire to put my mother's face and my face together in front of the mirror, or to take a picture together and look at it carefully for a long time. Today is the end of September, so I'll be meeting my mother soon. That's why I really want to do that.


And another thing, even though I knew you would play my mother in this music video before shooting, it was honestly hard to imagine when I entered the shooting studio and met you. But once the shooting began, you maintained the same pose on that wooden floor for a very long time, quietly and calmly holding your place amidst the lights and acting. In that moment of carrying on such surreal and beautiful shooting, a scene suddenly came to my mind as well. It was a feeling of having a young version of my mother right next to me, something I had never imagined before. My mother also had such a graceful figure, smooth skin, and lively eyes. My mother was an Opera actress in China. But in my memories, the old photos of my mother and the occasional descriptions from my dad about her appearance were mixed together like an unfinished painting. In the stories my dad told me, my mother, in her youth, was a shining primadonna on the opera stage, a heroine amidst the applause. Just like Jieun, who was sitting right in front of me at that time. I was really moved when that thought crossed my mind.


Jieun, thank you for giving me such beautiful memories. Today is the end of September, and although I'm far away in Beijing, I wish you happiness and good health. I'll continue to look forward to many more of your wonderful songs. Sincerely, Tang Wei, who supports you.

-Mom ㅜㅜ It's a touching letter that makes me miss my mom

-I miss my mom who passed away... it hasn't even been a month yet.

-Tang Wei seems to have better writing skills than I do as a Korean, how can she write a letter like this, she's really amazing

-That's it. I'm going home next week... I miss my mom...

-I cried with every single sentenceㅠ

-I didn't know a letter could be this touchingㅠㅠㅠ Feels like a love letter from the 90s

Hwang Jung-eum Instagram comments + replies

 

The comment on Hwang Jung-eum's Instagram post reads:

I understand Yeongdoni-hyung. Honestly, if you have abilities and money, you won't be satisfied with just one woman. If you can't understand a wealthy man having affairs, then you shouldn't marry oneㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Her replies:


I have a thousand times more money than him.
What do you know to mock me?
So, if I earn more money and am more talented than him, does it mean it's right for me to have affairs? According to your logicㅋ

Did you think I married him knowing that he's a cheater? I married him because I didn't know he was a cheater. That's life.

I endured once~ It's the first time I've endured something since I was born. 

You're Lee Youngdon, right??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-There are so many trash comments, please sue them all, Unnie...

-Cheating is really a habit, once you tolerate it, they'll continue to cheat. She should've just divorced him when she first found out. 

-Hwang Jung-eum, fighting. I'll support you no matter what.

-Those losers in life who don't have anything better to do, wandering around here and there leaving hate comments... they really have nothing to do... Someone should go offer them some part-time jobs.

-It feels like I can hear her voiceㅋㅋㅋ I like her courageous attitude.

-I don't know who that person is because their ID is not visible, but if you look at their Instagram, they're probably a truckload of people who talk like that while hiding behind their real names and faces.

-Cheating and gambling... There's no one who does it just once, she should've just dumped them at first.

-People without money or ability always get emotionally involved in weird things.

-I'll continue to support you, so don't get hurt and endure it till the end. I hope Hwang Jung-eum,  ends up with someone who matches her, both money and ability wise.  Why did she even marry a cheater with no wealth and ability?

-It's not something to laugh about, but it's funnyㅋㅋㅋ Get a quick and safe divorce and come back with a great next project.

-Hwang Jung-eum, fighting!! Those kinds of comments are just pathetic.

-What's so regretful about Hwang Jung-eum that she has to endure it?

-In reality, Hwang Jung-eum wouldn't even look these idiots in the eye.

-The epitome of a loser.
