Synopsis
Younha runs through a surreal, constantly shifting world in which furniture, debris and other objects fly across her path. She is knocked down several times but keeps moving, matching the song's message of perseverance and forward momentum. The video alternates between monochrome and vivid color, with flashes of light, strange machinery and a whale-like figure adding a dreamlike, almost science-fiction atmosphere. As the music builds, her running becomes faster and more intense, turning the performance into a visual expression of determination.
