00:00 Hi, this is Vivi and I'll be breaking down some of my most iconic music video looks.
00:05 Let's go!
00:06 'Animal Farm' 2022, directed by Oh Joon Kwan.
00:17 I think I tried really hard to make a dress that I could take off at any moment.
00:23 I thought a lot about how to make it.
00:25 "Are you thinking about corset?"
00:27 "No."
00:28 "Do we have to tear it?"
00:29 "No, maybe it's gonna be too long."
00:32 So I put a lot of thought into the design.
00:34 So in the end, I made a dress that we made with the belt we made on the original dress.
00:44 I remember putting a velcro on it so it was very easy to take it off.
00:50 It was fun back then, but now that I think about it,
00:52 I wonder how I could have done it one by one.
00:57 I also suggested updo hair.
01:00 As I said before, there are a lot of accessories.
01:05 I wanted it to be a beanie, and I wanted my hair to be loose when I pulled it out.
01:10 I practiced action scenes.
01:15 I think it was really good. It was very dramatic.
01:20 At first, I thought I was going to faint.
01:22 I don't even dance well, but I was sweating and I was out of my mind.
01:27 I practiced for a few hours for three days, but it wasn't easy.
01:36 I think there are people who do it with their bodies.
01:39 So I think it's okay to edit it hard.
01:44 I'm just thankful to Director Oh Joon.
01:47 "BB Vengeance" directed by Hyun Soo Kim, 2022.
01:53 It was Korean gangster.
01:55 BB is taking revenge.
01:58 And the main character in this video is 2044.
02:04 I just imagined, what if I was an assassin?
02:07 What would I use?
02:08 And if it were me, I would have used a fierce method.
02:14 I think I would have used a poisonous nail or a sharp tooth.
02:20 I thought it would be nice to have a lot of people.
02:22 I thought it would be nice if I wasn't the only one who was good at everything.
02:26 So I think I casted a lot of gang members.
02:33 In foreign countries, people wear a lot of black clothes at funerals.
02:37 At Korean traditional funerals, people wear a lot of white clothes.
02:43 I remember my mom wearing a white dress.
02:47 So I think I wore white.
02:49 At that time, my hair was very long, so I liked it even if I straightened it.
02:53 The straight hair was the point.
02:55 It's a tattoo that I got when the character joined the gang.
03:00 The reason there's a snake is because
03:03 I wanted to show that he does very fierce and low-blooded things without hesitation.
03:12 And there's poison.
03:13 So he's a very toxic person.
03:17 But he's a very contradictory person who chases love.
03:20 I wanted to show you that, so I designed it like that.
03:25 The concept was BDSM.
03:36 Bad, Sad, and Mad itself is not the pleasure of science between people.
03:42 It's a pleasure of science between life and me.
03:46 It's very unique.
03:48 The ponytail was so heavy that I thought my scalp would be ripped off.
03:52 Actually, I wanted to show you a lot of chains in fashion.
03:59 Actually, the chain wasn't that heavy.
04:02 The ponytail was so heavy.
04:07 I was worried that my scalp would rip off.
04:11 I wanted to take it off quickly and take it off.
04:17 It wasn't a repiece. It was just black.
04:21 I just painted it black and connected it to the end.
04:25 It wasn't a cultural thing at all.
04:28 I think I did it because I looked sexy.
04:32 Because I looked pretty.
04:34 [Q. What was the concept of the video?]
04:37 Casino 2020 directed by Kim Hyun Soo.
04:41 It was a noir film, so it was basically a girl going into a casino and saving her friend or herself.
04:53 I wanted it to be half and half, serious and sexy.
04:58 And a kitschy moment, too.
05:01 There were a lot of fish, so I couldn't wear my makeup because it's kind of toxic to them.
05:06 [Q. What was the scariest moment?]
05:07 I didn't even wear any lotion or anything.
05:11 It was a really scary moment because I'm kind of afraid of fish.
05:16 And it was really big.
05:17 I especially liked the hairpiece.
05:21 Because to me, it looked like a goddess of victory.
05:25 I didn't want it to look too holy.
05:30 So I filmed the goddess scene in the trash can.
05:34 So that both sides coexist.
05:37 I heard that the money bin goes around like that when you wash money.
05:44 So I put that scene in.
05:45 I put the grill in because I wanted to look really bold.
05:50 I think it went well with the scene.
05:53 And the hairpieces looked good on me.
05:57 I think it was good.
05:59 [Q. What's the song you're going to release next?]
06:01 Hongdae R&B 2023, directed by Sojae.
06:04 So the setting is 2044.
06:07 I just imagined what would be popping at that time.
06:12 So 20 years later, it would be Y2K again.
06:15 Because this is Y2K.
06:17 And 20 years before it was Y2K.
06:21 I wanted to have a bit of a party vibe.
06:26 So I did the bleach for the first time.
06:30 I think I did a good job.
06:32 Some people really hated it.
06:34 Some people really liked it.
06:36 But I prefer black hair.
06:40 I love my natural black hair more.
06:42 You know, Hongdae is kind of mecca of hip-hop.
06:48 Korean hip-hop.
06:49 I lived in a countryside.
06:51 I was looked up to them.
06:53 "Oh, there are so many amazing rappers."
06:57 I want to be like him.
06:58 I want to sing.
06:59 I want to be an artist.
07:00 I want to hang out with them.
07:01 And it just reminded me back then.
07:05 I wanted that.
07:06 That's the story of the song.
07:09 [Q. What's the song you're going to release next?]
07:11 Amigos, featuring Becky G.
07:14 2023, directed by Mutant.
07:16 Becky was very, very professional.
07:18 She was really shy and cute and sweet.
07:22 Before the camera goes on,
07:27 she's like 100% different person.
07:32 I mean, I think we had that link.
07:34 Because I'm like that too.
07:36 Oh my god.
07:38 That scene was so scary.
07:40 I didn't want to get wet because I can't stand coldness.
07:45 I really didn't want to drown.
07:46 So I asked him like 100 times,
07:49 "Is it okay? Is it really safe? Is it safe?"
07:51 And yeah, it was safe.
07:54 Even it was a little bit shaky,
07:58 but it was nice.
07:59 Thank you, Allure.
08:00 And hope you enjoyed my breaking down
08:02 my favorite music videos.
08:04 And I can't wait to do it again.
08:06 Soon.
08:07 (upbeat music)
