Video and Song Analysis
EROS AND PSYCHE
Derived from
the Greek tale of Eros and Psyche, Hoyeon embodies Eros, a God that brings couples together.
When she develops
feelings for one of her targets, the presumed Psyche, she confronts the harsh truth that their union is impossible—he cannot perceive her existence.
NewJeans stands
as the chorus, singing of Hoyeon’s unrequited love and longing for the forbidden.
"I don’t care what other people say.”
The lyrics hints at a desire to pursue the relationship despite societal judgment.
Yearning to relinquish
her divine duties and embrace humanity to be with her beloved, Hoyeon undergoes a transformation, shedding her black, somber attire for something light and floral.
This metamorphosis
symbolizes her emergence from darkness, a rejection of her nature as a God to become ephemeral.
However,
her joy is short-lived as Tony Leung's character (Aphrodite) intervenes, mirroring the original tale, and causing a rift between them.
Erasing her lover's memories
of their time together, he transforms the Psyche's focus from Hoyeon to forgetting her entirely.
Resigned to her fate,
Hoyeon reverts to her role as an observer rather than a participant in love, concluding her journey in the catacombs.
