Byeoli Chida (별이 지다) MV is Out!

Now the teasers can be put together like a puzzle.  The Official Music Video of 별이 지다  (Byeoli Chida – Fading Star) is out and as everyone is anticiapating, Hyori is ‘lady’ love of Wheesung in the video. 

What do I have to say?

I am totally mesmerized with this video.  As soon as I heard the interlude in the 6th album, i knew that the video would definitely feature them as lovers.  It’s so refreshing to see Wheesung with a girl on a video specially its someone as hot as Hyori.  I was just a bit disappointed because I was already expecting for a  ‘Notting Hill’ inspired video story.  Well in someway it does because of Hyori seeming to portray the role of Julia Roberts and Wheesung as Hugh Grant but Notting Hill is a happy story while the MV is tragic at the end.  I thought there ain’t going to be a sad part on the video but come to think of it the lyrics of the song will not match though a totally Happy MV.  The first conversation when Wheesung called was like asking Hyori if she is still busy.  So the story was like a love taken for granted. 

Sad to be a a boyfriend to a star...specially when you are just one plain unknown guy.

The second conversation was like Wheesung wishing her to be happy and then said goodbye. (Made these translation in my limited capacity to understand Korean).

But instead of dwelling on the sad part which I hope was just patterned to the feel good ending of Notting Hill… most of the shots show Wheesung and Hyori’s happy time together.  I know Hyori is a bit senior than Wheesung but they look good together.  They seem to be very comfortable when the video was shot.

Hyori was a pleasant surprise to be Wheesung's girlfriend on this MV...they look good together =)

Well for the longest time I wanted to see Wheesung in a video having such a nice time with another lady.  I wanted to see him in an ‘in-love mode’, and this video is perfect (minus the ending). 
Couple smile =) awwwww

There wasn’t any kissing on the video but it was totally sweet — the time together part.  They even hugged in one scene.  Such  blissful memories in real life could be hard to forget.
I wish I was hugging him too =P

Pain could actually drive a person to end his life.  Oh well i guess its been a trade mark for Wheesung to show such dark side of being in-love but the good thing is the MV are showing blissfull moments as well.. and more of it.

I was reading through comments on the new MV and I am glad a lot of people are loving it.  There are also raging comments on how smoking sexy Hyori is and she is indeed.  There were also comments that this MV helped Wheesung a lot.   Well I may have to agree specially to those type of fan out there who thinks its all in the video but for music lovers (specifically R&B) … the song it self cannot be underrated musicality and vocal rendition wise.  To me the MV was like an additive to fuel up the interest on the song and Hyori was definitely a sweet taste added.   It just dawned on me that some people can be like IT WAS ALL ABOUT HYORI… that got me confused what is being sold is the music not the MV.  For helping Wheesung in this video… I wouldn’t retaliate that bad on some of those comments from Hyori’s fans.  I hope they stop saying who  is lucky and who doesn’t deserve who… I mean Wheesung doesn’t look bad and even if Hyori is the queen of hotness in Korea that doesn’t easily equate to Wheesung being lucky to have her in the video (or for real life if  such delusions exist).  Wheesung is known to be a well mannered man, a real talent and gorgeous in his own right. 

How the hell would this face would look like JYP?

What I couldn’t resist on throwing a dragon ballz into those netizens who irritably comment that Wheesung looked like JYP. For whatever reason they are saying this…for fun, for attention blah, i think they are getting vitamin A deficiency.  Come on!  That face is no way similar to a gorilla… the style maybe very different nowadays but nevertheless its always better than what the gorilla is sporting. Wheesung is every inch better than JYP (not unless we discuss money here).

So as not to spoil my happiness over this wonderful video…i’d like to think that Wheesung is inspired nowadays.  Hopefully he is at that blissful part of a relationship (I keep on thinking he is inlove nowadays) and he deserves to be happy.  So for this MV—GO for it Wheesung make it to number 1 soon.  I am writing a review of this carrier song and its growing on me more each day… the video likewise made it more interesting to listen to the music over and over.  While it may be a bit hateful to have that tragic ending… it creates drama and the portion when Wheesung just have to run and jump off — great shot!  and when I say great shot I mean technically.

휘성 파이팅!

Note: Thanks to 33Hany for the MV.

  1. wow, I couldn’t agree anymore with everything you said! I agree with everything! I really enjoy this song so much 🙂

    What a great review girlie!!! Thanks for explaining some of the parts of the song and video. I actually never seen “Notting Hill” before. The ending was very sad, and totally unexpected, I was quite shocked and sad 😦

    Yeah, I was surprised too that I found myself enjoying Hyori in the video. They did act very natural in the music video. Maybe Wheesung could be an actor in the future, he obviously puts 1000%+ effort into everything he does, so I expected nothing less. I don’t see how this music video helped him out…this is his 6th album he’s been in the music business for 10 years so he knows and understands the game. I think this is one of his best videos though.

    I seen some of those comments too, both the good and bad ones, and it does get on my nerves how critical people are, people need to just chill and enjoy the music. Hyori is HOT no doubt, but going as far to say that he is lucky to have her in the video is competely crazy…Wheesung doesn’t need her or anyone else to help his career, he can stand on his own. If anything she should be the one that’s grateful that he was willing to work with her.

    Yeah those people who says he looks like JYP need to have their eyes gouched out :X it just goes to show you how completely superficial people especially Korean people are about looks.

    I was going to save this for my email to you…but I’m curious to know why you think that Wheesung is in love? I’m not saying that he can’t be…of course it may seem like I’m being bias though cause u know how I feel about him. But, if he is I think that it has to do more with the season, its winter time in Korea, its the time for couples, the holidays are meant to be spent with your significant other, sadly the culture does make you feel crappy for being single. But if he is she’s one lucky lady! We’ll see 🙂

    Overall I agree great song and video, I know that it seems like he’s always singing about heartache and heartbreak…love isn’t always great, happy and blissful, or a romantic fantasy…I think that he is just trying to portray the more realistic side of love, and being in love and realtionships. Which I think makes his music more realistic to people. Well to me at least.

    Would u mind if I posted your review on Wheesung’s website, I think that its very good and insightful.

  2. haha yeah I would totally love to be embraced by him like that too!!! Oh goodness the kiss was so cute^^

    LMAO @ the dragon ballz comment totally agree! I would love to drop kick those haters!

    So Wheesung was the non-celebrity boyfriend right?!

    I also read too, that he gave his life for her so that her star will continue to shine, is this what u gathered as well?!

    these are things I forgot to include in my other comment.

    Once again great review, awesome song!

    I’ve only become a fan of wheesung after hearing fading star. And I just fell inlove w/ him instantly. He just sound amazing! and he looks gorgeous as well. so yeah, I’m a fangirl… I’ve searched his previous videos while i do noticed that there has been a change somehow like, he does looks feminine now, i dont know if it’s just make up or his modish hairstyle but NO he does not look like JYP. never! maybe they have the same shape of lips or somewhat same chiseled cheekbone down the jaw but otherwise, NOT AT ALL!
