00:00Hello, this is eSoup aka Specific Soup. Today I'm reacting to a new song by IU featuring Balming
00:09Tiger. They don't actually translate the title and give you like an English title. I looked up what
00:14this Korean right here is, and it means beauty. I'm super excited to check this out. Balming Tiger
00:22is like a Korean music collective, like there's a bunch of different artists. Some people might
00:27know of them because they did the song Sexy Newcomb featuring RM, so that, you know, definitely got
00:35them more known. I think that's how I found them, but I might have found another song by them a while
00:41back and just, you know, been like, well this is cool and weird, and I didn't really know anything
00:45about them. But I'm really excited to see IU collaborating with Balming Tiger. I just think
00:51Balming Tiger is so cool, and IU is so cool as a solo artist, so I'm really excited to see what
00:59they do together. I haven't heard or seen any kind of preview of this, so I really,
01:04I have no idea what this is like. So without further ado, let's, let's go!
01:07Love this already.
01:20Oh, this is cute!
01:36Awwwww!
01:46Oh my gosh!
01:48I wasn't expecting this little like ukulele thing right here like what
02:18this is a bob
02:34Oh cool
02:48Oh
02:54Wait, what's happening?
03:00Okay
03:01Oh man
03:19Oh
03:21Oh
03:22So I'm wondering if anyone from Balming Tiger is gonna sing or rap in this or if they
03:38just did like the instrumental and stuff because maybe they're just like the instrumental
03:42and the producer
03:55Oh
03:58Oh
04:00Yes, take the mask off
04:23Wait, is he not glowing anymore?
04:29Oh, there he goes
04:30Okay
04:30Oh
04:33And now you can actually see his face
04:40Wait
04:55Don't tell me this is a tablet ad!
04:59What are you doing?
05:01What?
05:04That's- that's fake, right?
05:05That's like- that's like a joke, right?
05:07Also, I think that, um, I think that this is the- the name of the song in Korean
05:16I don't- that's fake, right?
05:21This is not actually an ad for a tablet
05:23Like, that's just a little jokey joke in the video, right?
05:27Please tell me
05:28Please tell me
05:29When I say, like, I didn't know what to expect
05:31I really didn't know what to expect
05:33Yeah, I was expecting vocals from someone in Balming Tiger
05:36But I guess they did just do the instrumentals and maybe like the production
05:40I don't know who wrote it
05:42But I really appreciated that
05:44It was like really cute
05:46And it was kind of weird
05:48But I was expecting something
05:49I don't know
05:51I was expecting something not as cute
05:52And then I got bamboozled by this ending
05:55So I don't know if I did just watch an advertisement or not
05:58I have no idea
05:59Someone tell me, if you know, is this like a real product
06:02That they're really trying to have IU and Balming Tiger out here selling?
06:07And the video is so cute
06:08And it's interesting how IU puts on the mask
06:13Even though she's not glowing
06:15And the guy who's glowing
06:16You know, you'd think that would be like a beautiful, mesmerizing thing
06:20And it is, but it becomes a nuisance to everybody
06:22And I think that's really interesting
06:24So then he puts on the mask
06:25And IU also has the mask on
06:28And then they like, you know, become closer
06:30And come together because of that
06:32And then they take the masks off
06:34And he's not glowing anymore
06:35He has like a regular human face
06:37But that's like a positive thing, I guess
06:40Like he either like was able to actually become more of himself
06:45And be more comfortable
06:47Like through a positive relationship
06:49Or maybe it's like the way IU sees him
06:52She can actually see him as who he is
06:54And not just see this glowing orb face
06:57One of those things
06:58I don't know
06:59But that was cute
07:00That was a really cute song
07:01I can definitely vibe to that
07:03And there was another IU song
07:05That just dropped like a couple days ago
07:07So I'm probably gonna go and react to that too
07:10I've never listened to like a full album of hers
07:14But there's just a lot of tracks that I've heard
07:17That I really, really like
07:18If you have any suggestions for me
07:20For IU songs to react to
07:22I might have heard them before
07:25But I have not heard everything by her
07:26So please give me suggestions
07:28Thank you so much for watching
07:30And this is eSoup
07:31Signing out
