🎥 STORY OF ‘DARLING’ ✨ The protagonist in the MV is… “The protagonist in the music video seems to be a delicate and somewhat obsessive person who lives by his own rules and routines. He is someone who cherishes the person he loves like light, recording and preserving every single one of those moments. But as time went by, he realized that he couldn't fully possess what he loves, and came to have the heart to let it go freely.” The scene that best reveals the protagonist's emotions in the music video is… “There is a scene where the protagonist blows out dandelion seeds and gazes at them scattering across the night sky. This scene remains the most memorable to me. It felt like I was finally letting go of the love and emotions I had kept inside. Rather than feelings of sadness or regret, isn't it a moment when a change begins to come to the protagonist's inner self?” The most impressive element in the MV was... “The most striking element was ‘light’. Throughout the music video, light felt like a symbol of the person you love. The way light sometimes lingers and then disappears, and other times brightly illuminates someone from afar, seems to resemble the feeling of love. Perhaps it carries the meaning that just as one cannot hold onto light, one cannot fully possess the one they love.” The message you want to convey through the MV… “I don't think that loving someone means you must keep them by your side or possess them. Sometimes, letting the one you love shine more freely can also be a form of love. Just as there are moments that shine dazzlingly like light but cannot be held unto forever, I want to convey that letting go and cheering from afar is also a form of love.” 📹 youtu.be/AxTSWoMTAEM 🔗 dks-darling-archive.notion.s… #Darling #달링 #도경수 #DOHKYUNGSOO
