Today, I bring you the news of IU’s new song released on January 24, 2024.

Already topping various music charts in Korea upon its release, it achieved the number one spot on the Melon TOP100 within just one hour, making it the fastest record among female artists.

‘Love Wins All’ is a lyrically philosophical song by IU, reflecting on love. It carries a message of hoping for all love to triumph in a world free of hatred.

Featuring BTS’s V in the music video

BTS’s member V appears in the music video of ‘Love Wins All.’ The two are known to have a close relationship. IU has collaborated with BTS members on previous occasions. The beauty and acting skills of IU and V in the music video bring joy and excitement to fans.

Controversy over the ‘Love Wins All’ music video

In Korea, there is heated controversy over the portrayal of disabilities in the ‘Love Wins All’ music video, with accusations of disparaging portrayal and emphasizing disability in a more tragic and pitiful manner using a binary between disability and beauty.

While there may be some controversy for a while, I believe the interpretation will gradually diminish, given IU’s popularity and the view that it may be an expanded interpretation.

What do you think? I’m curious about the reactions of fans from around the world.
