”TOMORROW X TOGETHER” Tae Hyeong releases solo song ”Bird of Night” music video... ”I wanted to show my haggard and dry face”
The music video (MV) for Korean boy band TOMORROW X TOGETHER's new song, which showcases Taehyun's delicate sensibility, has been released.
At midnight on the 1st, the MV for 'Bird of Night', a solo track by Taehyun from TOMORROW X TOGETHER's (Suvin, Yeonjun, Bomgyu, Taehyun, and Hyunin Kai) 4th full-length album 'The Star Chapter: TOGETHER', was released on HYBE LABELS' YouTube channel. The song is an R&B track featuring a lyrical intro, simple rhythm, and prominent synthesizer sounds, with Taehyun contributing to both the lyrics and composition. It conveys the message that even nights when anxiety keeps you awake are necessary for moving forward toward tomorrow.
The music video captures the emotional essence of the song. In the video, Taehyung spends time alone in the quiet of the night while everyone else sleeps. His weary face and sorrowful eyes hint at the anxiety he is feeling.
The delicate direction maximizes the song's message. The space where darkness and light alternate symbolizes the changing emotions surrounding “me.” The numerous tapes piled up in the room and the names written on them symbolize the anxiety that weighs down on “me.” Among them, the tapes with erased names signify that confusion will fade with time.
Through his agency BIGHIT MUSIC, Taehyung shared, “I wanted to show my gaunt, dry face to capture the song's atmosphere. It's a new image that's not clean or glamorous, and I like it. The visuals and color palette align well with the song's emotional tone.”
