Really only Taeyeon could do just a minimal instrumental song and still pull it off so well with her vocals that you never get bored.

I read somewhere that the song means; the love she gives isn't reciprocated so she envies him, for being loved so much by her. edit: yes this is for the lyrics, the MV is about the story of artemis

The MV director for #INVU posted the explanation of the mv concept: Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity Artemis (Taeyeon) was in love with a hunter named Orion, but Apollo (Artemis's Twin) was displeased and killed Orion, so Artemis turned Orion into a constellation And INVU = I Envy You it fits with INVU’s theme of “i cant love you even though I do”

To think sm didn't want this to be the title song of her album. Thankfully Taeyeon pushed for this to be her title song. INVU is so addicting.

It was amazing how that dreamy, floating in space while awing at all the celestial bodies kinda feeling was preserved through a lot of the songs. Even the more upbeat ones ended up having a more emotional weight to them in the context of the other songs in the album. Overall it was a really well made album and you can really feel Taeyeon's touch in every song.

The thing I don’t see mentioned that frequently is how OPEN and HUGE that song feels, despite the minimal instrumental! It really makes you feel like you’re in that vast wasteland/desert shown in the video!

Taeyeon is one of the rare soloist that both singles and albums are beautiful and well made that you'll surely love every song. No skips. Her discography are all amazing.

Taeyeon portrays Artemis the Greek goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity. INVU mv director explains: Apollo (Artemis' twin) who was displeased with Artemis who fell in love with hunter Orion, tricked Artemis into killing Orion herself with her own arrow. Artemis who was sad about the death of Orion, made Orion into a constellation in the sky. Also maybe they purposely released INVU on Valentines day ‘coz it fits the concept of ancient greek goddess since V-day originates from greek Mythology.

I always feel like I'm enjoying music with a friend 😌

The fact that both of them start jamming from the start, INVU is really that good!

I love Will's cute smiley head bopping the entire song!

INVU was definitely made for a colourful vocal 🔥🔥🔥

Its so rare to see GG or Taeyeon reaction here but when its up mostly they enjoy it and I'm glad, I hope you can do vocal analysis reaction with Taeyeon's Dingo Killing Voice too~ anyway, thank you for reactic to Taeyeon.

I’m very impress with the whole songs in this album. INVU is a masterpiece along with the other songs which made me straight away ordering this after listening to the whole album. Hoping to see some other reaction for the other songs. Some Nights, Ending Credits, Siren, Toddler ahhh should I name all the songs 😆😆😆

For me this was Taeyeon's best comeback song for a long time and maybe the best song in general too! It's just all in all so amazing and well produced song and music video.

The feeling this song has is tremendous I added it to my Spotify playlist right away. The hurt and the love, the complicated feelings accompanied by a simple yet well thought instrumental is wow

everytime i listen to this song i just feel like im floating in the sky with my headphones on max

4:47 - 4:53 and where you put the meaning of arpeggio on the screen, i really love and appreciate when you do these things bc i’m not studying music and i know nothing about even the little knowledge i have i learned while watching your videos i hope you guys can give us a full reaction with everyone on her killing voice video 😢🥲

SNSD members never disappoint. the main vocal and kid leader, Kim Taeyeon is such a great soloist.

LMAO the way you add dissolved outerspace background, that's exactly what i feel-

I like how during the second listen through they're supposed to be transcribing, but Will just ends up vibing until he looks a Jory and remembers to focus on the sounds haha. Really loved this reaction and especially Will's insight of the MV. I was so focused on the lore with Artemis that that interpretation went over my head. But the fact that you can take away different interpretations or flip the perspective and still relate it with the lyrics and music just shows how much depth was in this MV

The only channel I can rely on when it comes to analysis. I love this song at the first time listening to it.

Woah. When he started playing the piano, I could have sworn he started to play the beginning of "My Tragedy" by Taeyeon. I feel like the Purpose album (her last full album) has all these elements these guys love.

glad they picked up the warmth of the sound from this song, it really does feel warm and its such a nice feeling tbh! although it's minimal with it's instrumental, it still feels incredibly complex and super interesting. Really love what they did with INVU :,)

One of the best synth based songs i've had the pleasure of hearing

The whole album is a masterpiece 😫❤️

Her vocal run in the 2nd verse gives me goosebumps. She’s so very talented it’s mind blowing sometimes. SNSD comeback soon to look forward too!!!

Love it, INVU have been on my replay since the release. Ive been a fan of SNSD since 2011 and it amazes me how artistically they evolve through the years. Please do more reactions on SNSD and Taeyeon!

This song feels so fresh. SM never goes wrong with creating bops 💥

it's jory, instantly, going on Spotify to like the song for me 🗣️🗣️🗣️ the appreciation for my girl and this bop is very appreciated in this household lol ❤️

it always seems like the reactors experience the songs in an entirely different way than me (a regular person lol) because of all the musical knowledge they have, it’s really interesting to see! like at the beginning how they immediately were vibing to the song

This is my favorite reaction, I always come back here

More than a year later yet I'm still so obsessed. I'm trying to understand why, in a technical aspect. The song is too good. Taeyeon is too good.

I SEE TAEYEON I CLICK

When this song came out i was so impressed and ended up listening to her on repeat for weeks. Still love her, she reminds me of that time.

React Taeyeon live singing all her song in Killing Voice Dinggo.. Im sure you will know more how beautiful her voice and her song 😊😊😊😊🥰🥰

I am obsessed with this song 😭 it just gets better every time you listen to it.

"The love arrow always miss." WOOOOOOOOOO

there’s a very interesting review of her album, and particularly this song, on NME website (last time I read a review from NME must have been back in 1997, when it was still a printed version 😳).

please have a review of her album INVU also!!!! It was a masterpiece!!!! Highly recommended

Taeyeon = perfect idol 😍😍 She can dance, act, sing all genres, her visual no joke, funny, so kind, humble person 💕💯🤗

Yeah it's not completely new concept but feels refreshing because we don't get much laid back song on kpop idol these days. And it's a reeeaaally great sounds scape right there I love it the producers did good choice combine Taeyeon voice with other instrumental sound, feels so rich 👌🏻

warm was the best way i could describe this track. i also like how it was pointed out that the track starts out simple builds on with more elements as the song goes on, as if taeyon(or whoever the song symbolizes) feels small or less than in contrast to the person of their affection, and even though they don't want to, they unconsciously try more and more to match up to the person they feel inferior to, until everything kind of explodes at the end into what i can only describe is a guttural, pained scream when they realize that no matter how much they try, they still feel like they can't match up to the person they love. beautiful breakdown of my favorite taeyon song!!

The production it’s amazing, im glad you are opening the discussion about the production as well

the reason why I love this channel so much is y'all appreciate kpop the way I appreciate music with all its intricacies, production quality, composition techniques. I'm so tired of reaction videos that talk about everything but the music in kpop.... "omg they look so cute... omg the choreo is so good.... omg the outfits are so on point" it's a music video /:

loved this video! i liked the explanations, too. i wasn't able to pin point what I loved about this song, and what made it such an experience, but i think i understand better now! really appreciate this perspective ❤️ side note, i heard “acid base” and wondered when we forayed into chemistry

omg yes we need a separate video for the album!! it's sauurr good

Reading the lyrics, I think the concept of the song is someone who falls in love and no matter what can’t help having feelings for them despite breaking up whilst the other person can get on with their life without problems. Thus the feeling of envy.

I love their reactions and INVU is literally a bop

queen of korea

I am OBSESSED with your reaction series bcs musical wise, I love how you guys explain and is very in touch with the music

Finally!! I’ve been waiting for this since the album came out. As always the reaction never fail me❤️ Hoping for the INVU full album reaction bcs they are literally AMAZING

I always find myself coming back to this video and rewatching it idk

This song is still soo good!! I listen to it everyday

Love this reaction :) and the editing makes it even better!!

oh i'm so glad you got them to react to this!! the production really stood out to me in this song

Ohhh yea, unexpected but definitely a must watch. Taeyeon hasn’t been promoting in few of her previous comeback but this one came in and I fall in love, again. Thanks for uploading this 💙

I absolutely love this song. The instrumental and her voice mixed together man they hit that special place in my heart and mind that only a few songs do

This is my favorite reaction ❤

YES FINALLYYYYYY AAAAA BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Amazing song! The whole Artemis concept really fits. Also, I just checked some of the reactor's music (bourbon chai) and I'm pleasantly surprised, I like their vibe, and it totally makes sense you made them react to this, you knew they'd vibe to this 😂 I like their insight of things as producers.

These guys have given such a wonderful insight! Thank you for sharing

And the album is sick also! Hope to see more reactions from you guys ❤️

It just gets better every time you listen to it. Thanks for your reactions.

This whole song is beautiful the beat is such a beautiful heavenly beat

I LOVE THEM SM AHAHHA have them on here more often

yay thanks for the upload huhu

support this amazing artist a lot 💙

The editing! 😍

This album is masterpiece! Love it so much 🌟 Thanks for reaction 💖

Literally listen to this song all the time💗🤧

Excited for your reaction for the mini and music video of Feel my rhythm

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! THANK YOU REACT TO THE K !!!! KEEP UP DOING AMAZING WORK!!!!!

A masterpiece. In every aspect. So much art, fantasy, dimensions crammed into one little 3.5 minute song. Just f... unbelievable!!!! And that girl is an embodiment of vocal prowess; what intensity!! That inverted triad (sixth-chord) is a very old-fashioned but incredibly effective harmonic means you'll find in every Bach Passion.

I love how it hits you again in the end

they just teleported into another universe LMAOO THE REACTION

Im really glad they enjoyed this! To me this song had a very like early 2000s slow pop vibe but idk

Beautiful song and wonderful analysis!

I really love this comeback,her album is also so good 💜

I’ve always thought that this song is very well produced-I dunno much abt music production but this song just sounds very structured and well designed for me. And “Meticulous abt the choice of sound and progression” is the perfect way to describe it!

Thank you for this reaction

INVU just makes me feel like i’m in a different world. it’s just so dreamt for me

INVU is actually about still loving someone you don't and can't have with you anymore, in general, but the whole body of work (song + music video) reveals that it is actually about the story of the goddess Artemis and her love, Orion, son of Poseidon. Long story short, Artemis loves Orion but she is tricked by Apolo, her jealous brother, and kills him. After that, she asks Zeus to turn him into a constellation so he's always with her and guides her in the night (and you can actually see the references, there's Orion statues over the MV and also, in the scenes where she holds a heart and sends it into the sky, turning it into stars)

Thank you for this video!

Was waiting to see invu reaction hell yeah

UMU!!! let them react to Taeyeon's KILLING VOICE!!!!!

Thanks for reaction, I didn't expect

Ahhhhh it’s so rare to have a Taeyeon reaction on this channel and I’m so happy and thankful for this one!!! 😍😍😍

Taeyeon is killing it right now

Her voice.....😍😍😍😍

The tune behind the pre-chorus of " I can't love you"etc, reminds me so much of the synthwave song "Red Line" by Anna Yvette... Taeyeon as usual just slays.... The behind the scenes of the MV just came out...

i love this two

I was hoping for a lot of your team to react to invu instead of just two. But I'm grateful enough that you willing to react to her. Thanks for the reaction ☺️💓

That was pretty cool!

Such a beautiful song

is this a new series? because i'm here for it. producers always have the best reactions
