IU Releases Teaser for ‘Never Ending Story’ from Remake Album ‘꽃갈피 셋’
K-pop phenomenon IU has released a mesmerizing teaser for the music video of her latest remake single, ‘Never Ending Story.’ Shared at midnight on June 26 by her agency EDAM Entertainment, the teaser is generating buzz ahead of her third remake album, ‘꽃갈피 셋’ (meaning ‘Kkot-Galpi Three’).
This 40-second preview transports viewers into a lyrical world, reminiscent of a movie scene, brimming with cinematic visuals and a sentimental mood. IU appears alongside rising actor Heo Nam-jun, who has been recognized for performances in productions like ‘Your Honor’ and ‘Sweet Home Season 2.’
The music video frames the pair in a lush, green landscape as gentle rainfall falls around them. Their bashful smiles and youthful energy evoke a sense of innocence, while their retro-inspired costumes hint at stories from another era, deepening fan curiosity for the full release.
Set to a poignant piano accompaniment, IU softly sings the lyric “Somewhere out of reach,” her voice intensifying the emotional pull of the teaser. As the video closes with the sound of rainfall, it leaves a lingering, gentle impression that feels cinematic and heartfelt.
The title track, originally by legendary band Boohwal, has been reinterpreted with IU’s distinct artistry. The remake album also features five additional tracks: ‘빨간 운동화’ (Red Shoes), ’10월 4일’ (October 4th), ‘Last Scene (Feat. Wonstein)’, ‘미인 (Feat. Balming Tiger)’ (Beauty), and ‘네모의 꿈’ (Square’s Dream).
‘꽃갈피 셋’ will be officially released on June 27 at 6 PM (KST) on various music platforms, further heightening the anticipation among fans and music lovers worldwide.
