A Look Behind the Scenes of IU’s MV for ‘Love Wins All’ Starring V of BTS
The nostalgic MV sets the pair as lovers on the run from mysterious forces in a dystopian world.
Following the release of the ‘Love wins all’ music video, both IU and V’s official YouTube accounts have posted behind-the-scenes footage of the two-day shoot. Shot in the harsh winter season, the vlogs from both artists depict IU and V powering through the shoot while enjoying each other’s friendly company. On IU TV, a segment on the singer’s YouTube channel, IU also shared some stories of how she came to work with Director Uhm Tae-hwa, who previously worked on the 2023 Korean film Concrete Utopia, as well as how the pair ended up casting V as the male lead in this pop ballad.
V’s vlog on BangTanTV shows the idol taking on the role with great passion. In a climactic scene from the MV, he shouts and uses a metal pipe to retaliate against the floating grey boxes, once again gaining the adoration of ARMYs, who are loving V’s new acting endeavours. V also mentioned in his behind-the-scenes interview that he wanted to take on more projects before his enlistment. The filming for ‘Love wins all’ took place just about a week before the singer was set to begin his mandatory military service in Korea.
