MV Recommendation: Yun Ddan Ddan – In My Room

This is one of my favourite Yun Ddan Ddan songs.

The song itself sounds quite upbeat, but when you look at the lyrics I’m not 100% sure they are. Indie singer Yun Ddan Ddan is saying that at the age of 28 he still feels very young, but he’s not sure he should feel that way. I also think there’s also a sense of loneliness threaded throughout the entire song.

In the video, you can see three actors going about their day. It starts from their small little studio, enjoying little things like eating fried chicken or getting a package they ordered. You can also see them outside where they go about their business. 

Part of it is filmed with a fish-eye camera. It makes for an interesting effect, almost as if we’re peaking in without permission, like we’re a fly on the wall. 

A rather funny moment in the video is when Yun Ddan Ddan himself is singing his song in Santa Claus costume, as a lullaby for the actors. 

Definitely worth a watch.
