IU and BTS member V are all over social media for their mesmerizing collaboration for the music video of Love Wins All. The award-winning director Uhm Tae-hwa, who helmed this dystopian love story, shared his views on the conceptualization of the costumes worn by the characters.
There are many theories about the music video that have been doing the rounds online. Some have highlighted the characters donning wedding outfits despite enduring agony and pain.
While describing the idea of a wedding dress and tuxedo, Uhm Tae-hwa said to OSEN,
“Here, the wedding dress and tuxedo symbolize the most clichéd thing, ‘the fruit of love.’ In the music video, the two people enjoy a moment of happiness together by doing things that have been difficult to do in their daily lives, such as wearing these clothes, taking pictures, singing, and having fun.”
He further explained the ending of the music video, giving closure to the characters.
“However, in the end, the body disappears due to the 'square' and only the 'clothes' they were wearing remain. The two people are implied to be rising into the air in the final camcorder screen, meaning that they are free to fly away from all kinds of oppression and pressure.”
Stirring a whirlpool of emotions among the hearts of fans, the music video is trending on social media as more theories keep coming. Appreciating the artistry of the video, a fan tweeted, “Love wins all against discrimination and oppression.”
