Love Wins All is the name of the official music video that V and IU of BTS created together not long ago. This five-minute dystopian science fiction short film is full of hidden depths; it’s more than just a music video.
Few people know that Concrete Utopia director Um Tae Hwa has explained the purpose and concept of the music video, despite the abundance of fan theories trying to decipher the song. Though it’s not your run-of-the-mill love song, the two K-pop stars play lovers in the video. The music video premiered at midnight on January 24th, KST.
IU and V’s Surreal Encounter With the Cube
A wounded pair named IU and BTS V is shown in the video trying to get away from a mysterious cube-shaped item in the forest. They find a cold, deserted structure surrounded by heaps of old clothes. While searching for additional diners, V comes across a dusty camcorder in a restaurant. The MV seems to shift more towards cutting between the present and the past as they peek into the camcorder, which transforms their environment.

The MV’s Camcorder isn’t Working
Now we may discuss the enigmatic camcorder, which completely changes the mood of the song video. The makers claim that the scene shown on the screen of the camera depicts a planet that was once beautiful before it was destroyed, even if the video’s timeline is set in the present. The love filter is symbolized by the lens of the camcorder. Beyond the characters’ internal and external qualities, it can also be viewed as a crucial tool for appreciating the world’s splendor.
The symbolic elements intensify the problems that IU and V face. A delicate chain encircling IU’s lips suggests a lack of freedom of expression, while V’s azure eyes hint at hidden challenges. However, in their dysfunctional reality, they remain firmly attached.
Why the Tuxedo and Bridal Attire?
However, everyone is curious as to why they opted to wear the bridal gown. “The tuxedos and wedding gowns discovered among the rubble represent the fruit of love, which IU and V don in the closing scenes.” BTS V has also released the behind-the-scenes Love Wins All music video.
As the two engage in activities that would normally be beyond their comfort zone, like singing and snapping pictures, these ancient symbols represent liberation and joy.

He’s looking at her whole face from eyes to mouth. It’s making people blush. His ability to entice such emotions with his actions is what makes him a good actor and perfect for a romcom. Give this man a kdrama! pic.twitter.com/ydTzvukAa7

Love Wins All Staring #BTSV, IU & #V chose a wedding dress & tuxedo from ruins: a symbol of ‘the fruit of love.’ 2 people enjoy a moment of happiness together by doing things that difficult to do in a daily life. In the end the body disappears & only ‘clothes’ remain #KimTaehyung https://t.co/afM2NxYHX5 pic.twitter.com/bdiyFixIO3
