[MV] IU(아이유)_LILAC(라일락)

IU doesn't need a special fandom, because every fandom loves her.

BBIBBI (2018) - YELLOW
BLUEMING (2019) - BLUE
EIGHT (2020) - ORANGE
LILAC (2021) - LILAC

Never gonna change the fact that this is my fav song of IU

The lyrics are so sad yet the m/v is so beautiful 😭

Fun fact: this song isnt actually about forbidden love or saying goodbye to a lover. Its actually about memories of youth. IU embraces the symbolism of lilac flowers as memories of youth to bid an emotional farewell to her 20s and a hopeful hello to her 30s.the train she takes is actually a train from her 20s to her 30s!
Edit: HOLD UP JSHSHD 192 LIKES IN 3 DAYS??¿¿¿¿
Edit 2: I think I’m gonna pass out *inhale*
THREEE? THOUSAND?

If mermaids existed, I feel like they would have her voice. Beautiful, melodious, and mesmerizing. You somehow can't help but be drawn to it.

Jungkook and Gyu are so real for saying she’s their crush, same boys same.

2024년에도 듣고 있는 사람 발

She looks good in every single outfit, especially that white dress, it's so gorgeous

This song and her sweet voice are so addicting no wonder why she’s the most successful soloist in kpop

Just said bye to my 20s and hi to my 30s with this song! Such a beautiful moment🌙

IU is a good actress and soloist I can't believe she is so talented

She has a voice that you just cannot stop listening to.

Now I see why all kpop stars are also whipped for her

Even after two years this song hasn’t gotten old , love iu
Main vocalist of the vocal line of K-pop

She’s so pretty and such great vocals 🫶🏼

The chorus makes me so happy... its a feeling i cant describe

this song is a literal masterpiece

Every time i listen to this song i get more in love with it..iu's vocal so clean and sweet to hear like a drop of honey!!

그녀의 목소리는 너무 매혹적입니다. 떨어지고 있어요

IU literally owns the word "angelic"

My first time watching her.
She is GORGEOUS. And her voice is angelic. I see why everyone loves her.

One of the best soloist,still sad that she has less views and stuff...she deserves sooo much hype

This song feels like it was released yesterday

She can do no wrong in my eyes. I love literally all of her songs.

Theory: IU is leaving her twenties, and when she reaches the train station there is a board saying "where are you going". The list is about the first and last song she wrote in her twenties, from the spring of twenty to LILAC. On her card it says "departure: HYLAC , destination: BYLAC." This technically means that she is departing from HYLAC (hello twenties) and travelling to BYLAC. (Bye twenties, hi thirties) when she gets on the train she experienced many stuff including friendship, sadness, love and hate."i bear my tears" which means she's sad to say goodbye to her twenties. She then meets friendship wearing a purple suit, the train is full of happiness. After that, there's a scene showing IU fighting strangers which MAY be haters and the food or whatever it was is a music award. She encounters many experiences until she reaches her destination, BYLAC. In BYLAC, we can see she looks scared and lonely, looking around since it's a new environment for her. But she still smiles thinking "it's alright" .
(Btw im a smol yt so it will help i alot if u watch my videos :])
Edit: we can see at the beginning, before joining the train IU is wearing a cute vintage outfit but after reaching her destiny she's looking tired, her outfit looks messed up as well as her hair which tells it was an amazing but exhausting and also interesting journey.
Edit 2: we can see when the train is filled with petals, or its raining petals, we notice the women and other few people are unhappy about the petals. This means "many people hate your success". IU is saying that she was getting more and more successful and many people were happy for her, but like the women were annoyed (they're pictured as haters) haters would still hate. But IU is still happy and smiling which gives another meaning "never give up" or "don't let People who hate your success enjoy your happiness"

IU has the face of a princess straight out of a manga or a fairy tale ✓

얼굴도 이쁘고 노래도 잘부르고
어쩜 저렇게 완벽할까ㅠㅠ

Ngl every fandom literally adore and appreciate her 😭😭😭

IU's music is so different. They get the views they get because she has mastered a diverse aesthetic and theme that everyone enjoys. She really does a great job with her songs, and her company with her MV's.
They never shy away from telling apart of her story in a way, so it never feels like she is forced to comply and conform to a manufactured or rehearsed setting. It's just a beautiful, enjoyable, free flowing masterpiece.

Imma hitting Marshall 1taps with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Her voice is just so beautiful ❤️ It's a mixture of soft and firm but it's totally soothing 😌

I never really listened to IU. But I'm on a IU binge spree tonight. I see why she's popular. She's mad talented

This is a whole movie

I can’t believe it’s been two years this song makes me want to dance,be in my feelings,etc. I love it

Its 2023 still its a masterpiece ✨️ 👌 and Iu dressing sense is cute❤

I always forget she's an actor when she sings and forget she's a singer when she acts.

My friend:Who is your favorite actress?
Me: IU.
My friend:Who is your favorite idol?
Me: IU.
My friend:Who is your favorite dancer?
Me:IU.
My friend:Who is your favorite beside IU?
Me: Lee ji eun.
My friend:Who is that?
Me:IU.
STAN IU FOR BETTER LIFE!💓

The reason why she's the nation's crush 💯

타고난 재능이라는게 바로 이런걸 말하는구나싶음💐

LILAC Means a flower.
1.White lilacs = purity and innocence.
2.Blue lilacs = happiness and tranquility.
3.Magenta lilacs = love and passion.
*** Lilac, the color for which this flower is named, is a light purple that symbolizes a first love.***

IU voice is just like an angel it is soo soothing

아이유 진짜 예쁘다

2024 y sigo escuchando esta bella canción.
Las canciones de la preciosa IU son tan adictivas.

My first comeback as a UAENA! So proud to be a part of this family!!

Shes so gorgeous and has a angel voice. No wonder shes so loved. Shes so pure and needs to be protected at all costs

If spring 2024 doesn't sound like this i don't want it

얼마나 아름다운 목소리인가! 😮❤

Not many kpop idols got the qualities like IU nowadays. No wonder JYP is quite mad when he heard that someone from his company reject IU during an interview.
IU = easy money. no scandal, no high demand, creates her own lyric, great voice, plus good looking. Basically they only need to make sure no one stealing her chocolate while she was away.

아이유가 쓴 라일락 곡 소개: 10년간 열렬히 사랑하다가 봄이 지르는 탄성 속에
기쁘게 이별하는 한 연인의 이야기.
=29의 아이유가 그동안 보내온 20대와 이별하며 기쁘게 인사하는 이야기

Anyone listening to this masterpiece in 2024❤❤

IU is SO freaking gorgeous and her voice too, I love you IU 💜🤍

Beside of her natural beauty, She is so talented , Her songs never gets boring , Glad that there’s a solo artist like IU in Kpop and in this world.

아이유 컨셉 노래들 보면 옛 선배가수들 영향을 많이받거나 좋아하는거같음 뭔가 겉멋부리지않고 순해 그러면서 아이유만의 색깔이 꼭 담겨져있어 노래가 대중성같지 않으면서도 대중성 같아
트렌드따라가지않고 그곳이 어디든 자기길을 걷고있는거 같아

A total masterpiece

I was having a headache leaning linux from course, her voice is healing me now, love u lilac song

it's basically shows a journey of her from being trainee to ending of her 20s and by the end of the movie , entering into her 30s a new phase of life
Like you can see , she looks cheerful at beginning because it's her early 20s, when she enters train she observes so many happy people doing things , as if she entered the industry and watching her seniors , some were looking at her as a threat and some were nice and helping and she learns how to own the lifestyle as you can see the clap learning part and
then next she looks more into the colors of industry ,she is partying , enjoying , with a mask on ,like she sometimes need to fake things infront of camera like all artist have to , light was bright on her face resembling camera lights on her face and also the limelight, some people are near her and some are far now at party train scene
Then next she looks like a fighter , scars of fight on her face , because she has struggled , learnt , fought for the position she is now , and sitting lil tired but still needs to fight and the waiter arrives with food , this is her awards or all sort of rewards she need to win but in the way she have to fight for them, and she gets there at food at the end , and
Then next scene where she is on station lil sad and hopeless , because she is at end of her 20s , fearing that whether she would be still running in the industry , whether people will still love her, whether her songs will still have the magic on her fans and Audience
And then at end you can see another train arriving which put strong light on her face and also she looked happy with hope , resembling as 30s are arriving , she should welcome that fearlessly and be happy , since it's just another phase of life
Life of k-pop artist or idol struggles at their 30s because most of their industry limelight stays during their 20s and after that they struggles
So this MV was resembling her own journey
and now only the lyrics , the visuals , her song sounded also happy + losing and rising hope + a sense of fear and also like it's faith of the age
There is also the scene where she basically had lilac ( a violet flower on her hand) resembling her youth and her violet shade sunglasses on , she looks at sky and removes the sunglasses and along with lilac , she puts them into a book and bury them into the ground , resembling her memories of youth , like the book holds records , and also this can be rewatched , like they can still dig out the book , resembling she can still re-watch her journey through her MVs recorded , off stage videos , photos , as memories

Entering the train while everyone is looking = the beginning of her career, some people are skeptical but then dance with her
Party in the train = her wins in the music worlds (keeps going!!)
Fighting scene = her career going forward with the bleeding effort, standing strong fighting other idols from time to time
Arriving at the train station = now she arrives at the beginning of her 30s. Looks scary and dark, leaving her 20s memories on the train but she will keep going on to a new station 👏

Her vocals are everything 🤧

I love you Lee Ji-eun!!

can we talk about how IU is literally from a small company and has never been a part of any group
where she is right now is all thanks to her

THIS SONG IS LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

15 Years with IU
#OUR_UN1VER5E_IU
#15년째_또_사랑이_이기는_아이유애나

My favorite K-pop song as always ❤️✨

“Spring is short. But it comes again.”
-IU Lilac

I JUST FELT LIKE,
1. the first time she rode the train where she's in all purple outfit, it represents her first few years in the industry. she looking at everything in awe, trying to mimic everyone's dance steps because she's still unfamiliar with it
2. the part where she's partying in a black dress may represent her successes being an artist in the industry
3. her with her beat up face and tackling down bad guys may represent the challenging experiences that she had. (haters, rumors, etc) BUT if you noticed, she kept a good smile and I believe it's her embracing those challenges and allowing her to grow through them
4. and finally when she was back at the platform it's like she was initially confused how she got off the train. then a new train comes, maybe signifying that she will now enter her 30s and it's time to say goodbye to her 20's.
IU WE LOVE YOU. I will answer your bridge and say I will never forget you, your name, your existence. Thank you for creating music that brings people together.

It's been 2 yrs... But every time I watch this mv it makes me smile ✨

IU best solista 💜

she’s literally the most beautiful person in earth in the inside and the outside

진짜 좋다 아이유는 매일 똑같은거가 아니라
새로운거를 시도해서 좋은거 같아요

저는 이제 막 20대에 접어들게되는데 새로운시작이 두렵기도 하고 무섭기도 한데 이 노래를 듣다보면 과거에 소중한 걸 추억에 잘 간직한채로 앞으로 나아가는 아이유님을 보면서 미래라는 것이 과거의 거울과 같아서 앞으로 나아갈 때에 과거를 추억하며 새로운 추억을 만들어나가는 과정이라고 믿게되네요

라일락 1억뷰 진심 축하드려요!!

cant believe IU has been dominating the industry as a soloist for over a decade & she’s still delivering how time flies 🥺

She's one of the prettiest and talented girl in k-pop industry. periodt

She literally has the voice of an angel same with her looks like her hair is sooo pretty

the more ik abt her the more i fall for her 💙

She came back from a very poor background, she failed 20 auditions yet didn't give up, she didn't get right after debuting, she faced criticism on her first live performance (fans saying dirty things to her), she faced body shaming and due to that eating disorders (like Jimin), her parents were cheated in business and lost all the money ,so she had to live her grandparents ...she didn't had enough to eat and proper shelter to live. She said she used to stay in her dorms so that atleast she'll have enough food to eat, she started training at a very young age of 15 and had to go through all of this...yet she never gave up. Now she's the top soloist of Korea , youngest philanthropist of Asia...infact she donated in every month of 2020 , she lets juniors practice in her training room for free(which is in her office..which she owns), she's very kind and down to earth, super talented and her songs are really great, she's an actor, singer, host, songwriter, composer, producer, youtuber...etc. She treats her team members -> her band players, backup dancers, manager, bodyguards, make-up artists and stylists as her own family...she performed in their weddings for free. While renewing her contract, she gave up her payment and instead of that she asked to raise the salaries of her team members and give them a permanent job. She buys snacks and gifts for fans everytime she travel to another country and give them to fans by herself. She performed in graduation ceremony of a fan just because she promised. She always supports her junior artists and other artists and help to bring them up (You will get to know this if you see her performances). During rehearsal of an award function fans were waiting outside and it was getting late because of rehearsal of artists was taking longer..she literally brought food and hot packs for all those fans who were waiting (because they were waiting for long and they would be hungry and it was cold..there were nearly 500 fans). She gives more than what she receives, she's known as donation angel in Korea. She's also very beautiful, talented and witty.. she's really mature , the way she sees life , her perspective of things I guess everyone will fall in love with her for that. She's really strong and won't easily give up. The way she shuts her haters shows her wittiness. Also Jungkook told that he's her fan since her debut, when she debuted she was 16 years old and he was 12 years old. So he has been a loyal fan of her since 12 years starting from auditioning with her DEBUT song Lost child (even though it wasn't a big hit compared to her other songs) still continuing being her loyal fan even after becoming so successful himself. He recently covered 3 of her songs Rain drop , You and I... I don't remember the another one. He recommended her song Merry Christmas in advance in BTS Christmas playlist. He had earlier said that he listens to this song every christmas 😭😭. This fanboy story is so beautiful...... I hope they both collab soon
Here are some things you should watch about IU,
1.Age of the cathedrals cover.
2.Kiss and cry (ice skating performances)
3.MAMA 2018 performance
4.Hotel del luna drama and my mister drama
5.Infinite challenge
6.House on wheels
7.Persona movie
8.IU's video on Kakaoo webtoon
9.IU in Yoo hee yeol's sketchbook (2020.09.18)

idk why but the way she sings "love me only till this spring" sounds so satisfying

This deserves more views.

She's litreally the one whom anyone can fall in love with.

IU said "I want it to have mainstream appeal with the general public. Rather than ‘It’s IU so I guess I’ll have a listen’, I want people to think ‘I want to listen to this because it’s actually really good’.
The whole songs on the album was so good that I can't ever choose my favourite track.

There are three types of kpop
1. Boy group
2. Girl group
3. IU

4:18 IU onboard to the next train which leads to the Sunshine Mart in the Shopper MV, marks the start of her 30s.
PLEASE WATCH SHOPPER & STREAM THE WINNING ALBUM

아이유예뻐❤

The "Oh Lilac" part is so innocent, fragile, and quite scintillating

This is why I pay for my wifi .

How perfect...

2024년도에 듣고 있는 사람?

This LILAC comeback of IU is seriously insane

I'm so obsessed with this song it's just IU's songs are so addictive!!!!

이쁘신 아이유님!!~~

I love you IU!!!

The video ends with the text “Spring is short. But it comes again”. Spring is associated with youthfulness, the "springtime of life" as some call it. In this comeback IUʼs saying her farewell to her 20s, sending them off with bittersweet feelings. So many people think youʼre at your best when youʼre in youʼre 20s and therefore feel pressure, but this message at the end tells us that "spring will come again" - youth isnʼt something measured by numbers, and entering your 30s doesnʼt mean youʼre "past your prime" or that you can no longer progress in life and prosper anymore as society tends to push onto us (especially on women). I think this is a very powerful and important message for anyone who is afraid of "aging" and I think IU did it gracefully.

Popular opinion: You don’t stan IU because she’s famous, but you stan her because she’s one talented artist & she’s such a QUEEN.

I have good memories with this song ❤whenever i heard it I feel so good 😊😊

Now i realized why jk liking her so much

*L = LOVELY*
*I = INCREDIBLE*
*L = LIMITED EDITION*
*A = ADORABLE*
*C = CHARISMA*

MAN, THIS MV KINDA HAD CHARACTERS SHE'S PREVIOUSLY PLAYED.

She will never top this.

당신은 완벽해요 IU
