Idol of the Heavenly One - vanish into fiction

Author: Bae Un-byeon-tae

This is a mix of interpretation and playful commentary on the music video.

Occasionally, +) comments are added to indicate guessed reactions from the members’ reaction videos.

(Video)

As expected from the trailer, it seems that the teenage Kwon Ji-hak imagines “What will I become?” as an adult. After that, Joo I-rip , an idol, appears. The professions shown likely represent what the members would have dreamed of if they had not become idols.

+) Based on Joo I-rip posting on the universe immediately after the music video that “My dream has always been and will always be to be an idol,” it seems correct that the professions shown in the music video are the ones the members originally dreamed of.

First, I-rip’s dream from childhood is only being an idol, performing dances and songs on stage. The detail is amazing because I-rip originally nurtured his idol dream while watching the senior members of CZ Entertainment’s traditional Neple line. Therefore, he is wearing the stage outfits that the Neple seniors wore. I remember those outfits because I loved them. I-rip, was Yeong-woon your favorite senior? Yeong-woon is wearing the outfit. I also loved Yeong-woon.

Then, suddenly, I-rip reaches out to a middle school boy and helps him stand. After that, someone’s smiling mouth appears. Fans would know this. It is Heon-ja . You can tell just from the lips. Fans were all like, why did those lips appear? But let’s skip that for now.

Next is Go Hee-min . His dream is surprisingly to become a teacher. He doesn’t seem like someone who would teach others well, but when you look closer, he might be good at it. He is in a suit, writing on the blackboard with chalk. This is so charming. If I had a teacher like that for Korean, English, and math when I was in school, I might have gone to Seoul University (not really).

+) The members teased Hee-min. As soon as Go Hee-min appeared as a teacher, even the members and staff burst out laughing. Fans were all saying he’s sexy, but everyone laughed seeing their reactions. Within YEARZ, what kind of character is Hee-min? It’s hard to tell, but I think I understand. Such a cute guy. Meanwhile, Kwon Ji-hak was strict. “Who teaches whom? Hee-min?” Everyone laughed so hard.

After Hee-min appears, Heon-ja appears again. Hee-min is sitting alone in a cold, dark room. This is also sexy. Sorry Go Hee-min, but this scene is even sexier than the teacher scene. Perkul is a recluse? Anyway, Heon-ja opens the door, reaches out his hand, and Hee-min hesitates, then takes it. I still don’t fully understand the meaning of this.

+) After watching the reaction and behind-the-scenes videos, I understood the meaning. I will explain it all at once.

Next is Lee Soon-bok / ISUNE . I think this man is truly exceptional. Most children dream of becoming police officers, but from childhood, he had an extraordinary spirit. He seemed soft outside but very resilient inside. Not a police officer or soldier, but aiming for Unit 707. This is a counter-terrorism unit, even tougher than a special forces unit. They rescue hostages, suppress terrorists, and protect high-ranking officials. I don’t know how a soft child dreamed of joining this, but ISUNE is clearly not someone easy.

+) When he removes his goggles, the members go “Oh,” no different from me. Are you all fans of tactical gear?

Then Heon-ja appears again. From the scene where he dances in a tracksuit with Soon-bok / ISUNE in the practice room, it seems he is a trainee.

Since it is in age order, after Soon-bok / ISUNE, Baek Jae-heon should appear next, but it immediately transitions to Ji Myeong-hyeon . I realized here that Baek Jae-heon’s dream was already being shown. But first, I will explain Myeong-hyeon’s dream.

As soon as Ji Myeong-hyeon appeared in the music video, I screamed.

+) In the reaction video, the members also screamed and laughed. Fans would laugh at this too. Joo I-rip presses the spacebar and yells “What is this?!” It is so funny.

Myeong-hyeon is wearing a pink apron with a yellow scarf at a snack shop in front of school, cutting kimbap. Sometimes, his behavior is incomprehensible, and this dream is one of those moments. His acting in daily life is amazing. While cutting kimbap, he offers it to someone passing by.

+) In the reaction video, Kwon Ji-hak hits his forehead and says, “Hyung, how much more are you trying to succeed?” Myeong-hyeon clearly has a plan. You came up with this playful and cute dream to succeed?

After Myeong-hyeon’s dream, the iconic scene comes. Fans almost fainted.

Walking side by side in an alley eating ice cream are Heon-ja and Myeong-hyeon. Suddenly, Heon-ja leans in and buries his forehead on Myeong-hyeon’s shoulder. Is this really what the official music video shows? It is even more delicious this way.

+) In the reaction video, the members watched silently, which was so funny. They were witnessing the love business and holding their breath.

++) After watching the behind-the-scenes video, you cannot laugh at this anymore. He is crazy in love. Baek Jae-heon, I truly acknowledge you.

Next, Kwon Ji-hak looks troubled. Someone puts a hand on his shoulder, and when he turns, Heon-ja in stage outfits appears. They hold hands and jump onto the stage, performing the chorus with the members.

After the performance, all the members suddenly wear school uniforms again. Kwon Ji-hak looks for Baek Jae-heon, and finally, Baek Jae-heon runs toward the members as the music video ends.
