A recent tip from an unnamed source explained the newest music video for Swing from Lee Hyori. The music video was released just a few hours ago but it’s been gaining a whole lot of attention already. Causing fans to be even more hyped for Hyori’s comeback with her fourth album H-Logic.
Now, the music video of Swing might have been confusing for some of you guys since the storyline is a bit difficult to understand. Supposedly this unnamed source is a friend with the director of the video and this was how it was explained. The clown in the video represents Lee Hyori’s ex-boyfriend. Whoever it may be, the clown is supposed to come off as a hurtful and almost scary ex-boyfriend she’s had in the past. Since the whole song is about love and despair, it’s likely that an ex is incorporated into the MV.
It’s also supposed to show that he killed her emotionally. In terms of love, he broke her by either going behind her back, breaking up with her or moving on, your choice to choose. The director of the music video said that the luggage is Hyori. This means that whenever the luggage was in the frame, Hyori wasn’t and vice versa.
Because the clown, her ex, “killed” her, she is back to haunt him. That is why she is always behind him and surrounding him while he doesn’t even notice her. He tries to get rid of her by shooting and breaking the mirror but it doesn’t really work. All Hyori wants is to be loved again, which you can tell from the lyrics.
She also uses past memories to haunt him such as the black balloons and the red shoes. It’s hard to say exactly what those things represent but it’s definitely something those two had memories of in the past.
In the end, it is however you would want to interpret it so nothing is wrong or right but this is one way to look at it. I do have to give it up for Hyori for being original with this music video. While others would have incorporated flashbacks to show the how they broke up with the boyfriend, etc., she decided to make it more mysterious. Hope this cleared up some of the confusing parts of the video.
