Recently, the second visual film for the album was released, and netizens can’t stop praising Jisoo’s visuals!
When the visual film begins, Jisoo’s outline can be seen in black against a traditional-looking backdrop.
The gorgeous singer’s face is then revealed, wearing her hair in an updo as she moves her long-nailed hand over her face. As the shot transitions, it is shown that she has her hair styled with a binyeo, a traditional hairpin popularized during the Joseon Dynasty.
Her full look is shown as the floral backdrop changes to show the flowers on the tree blooming.
Netizens have loved her traditional looks and theme, calling her “the beauty of Korea.”
