IU and Crush display emotional chemistry in new music video footage

A new video uploaded to IU's official YouTube channel captures the artists IU and Crush portraying a gradual emotional shift from indifference to opening their hearts during the filming of 'seesaw (Feat. IU)'.

The chemistry between artists IU and Crush during the music video shoot for the song 'seesaw (Feat. IU)' has been revealed. The video, uploaded via IU's official YouTube channel 'Lee Ji-geum (IU Official)', captures the two artists setting their characters and acting in accordance with the song's atmosphere.

From indifference to opening one's heart: IU's acting logic

During this music video shoot, IU focused on expressing the song's emotions through the emotional changes of her character. In the video, IU explained that the character she played was not a being with a specific physical form, but rather "one of the emotions on a plate." She identified the core of her acting as a "gradation" of change, starting with a somewhat indifferent attitude and gradually opening her heart.

This emotional arc is also linked to the relationship established between the two. The acting logic, in which Crush leads and IU follows his flow, served as a major element in creating the chemistry between the pair. During the filming process, IU worked meticulously to ensure these settings meshed with the mood of the song.

Free poses and directing: A flexible flow on set

The filming proceeded in a flexible atmosphere that was "creaky," much like the song's title. Throughout the process of deciding poses, directing such as "You should do free poses" or "Follow the 1, 2 count" was exchanged to coordinate the flow of the set. IU adjusted her breathing to match Crush's movements and poses to complete the mood of the song.

The process of determining filming angles and positions also took place on set. Attempts to create the optimal scene continued as they moved according to instructions like "This way" or "Left center." In particular, IU showed an active approach to capturing the feeling of the song by matching movements with Crush or suggesting sitting positions during the shoot.

After filming concluded, witty situations reflecting the atmosphere of the set were staged. As the "cut" command signaling the end of filming was given, the tension on set was released, and the video concludes with the two artists sharing an atmosphere connected to the theme of the song.
