I'm agree with what Seungkwan has said in weverse. This song is so beautiful and emotional. The melody is so soft. As expectrd, Myungho. Congratulations for new single

The last bit where the waves finally hit him after he's been avoiding for the whole mv, my heart just can't describe what I feel such a beautiful piece by the one and only Hao

I just hate that Seventeen members' solo activities are so underrated 🙂 All of them are so so talented 🥺

"Some people and some masterpieces need not be super duper famous to touch one's heart, connect with them and heal them." That is SEVENTEEN, MY HOME.

Minghao has grown so much as an artist; he's so admirable and so so dedicated to his craft. You can see the passion in his artistry and improvement everytime he releases something.

8 makes you feel for the breakup you never had

The diversity of minghao’s solo from a catchy fun song side to side to this lyrical emotional masterpiece 🥹

All the SEVENTEEN solo works are under rated. But one thing which which makes me happy about it is only lucky people can listen to them. No any random person can listen to them. I feel lucky that I am part of that small population who heard to all of their solo works and is proud of them.

The saddest part is knowing that this is all real for him, not a movie script of some sort or a play... it’s his real life. Thank you minghao for reaching out to our hearts like this and for being a second home

“To block the waves for her, how tall a tower must I become?” The lyrics... CRYING😭😭

Xu Minghao is art himself! And this MV is absolutely a work of art. Everything about this mv as well as Minghao's smooth, clear stable singing is extremely beautiful. Minghao has so much emotion in his voice that he can beautifully express it. It's a masterpiece

Hai Cheng is so meaningful for me, i get so emotional whenever i hear this sound. It reminds me of my childhood but now things aren't the same anymore. We just can reminisce those memories and slowly accepting that we're getting older. Thank you minghao for making this song!

"People's smiles are concealed by their scarves." this line is just-

“She is Hai Cheng, Hai Cheng is her”. This is according to minghao’s music teacher and co-writer. She is the embodiment of home. Beautiful but there is a sadness in it because the8 needs to leave home. 🥺🥺

when he lifted her I screamed😭how beautifully filmed

This is my favourite among The8's solos. The message is deep and beautiful. The film is great. Vocals are top notch. It's like a lullaby, if you don't know the meaning or don't watch this. But it's like an ode, a feeling of yearning and nostalgia for something you had or somewhere you were. Beautiful as always. ❤

The fact that Minghao named this song by the name of his hometown Hai Cheng = Sea City is so beautiful

He uses the girl as a metaphor for his hometown. A long and loving longing for the city that he has been away from for so long. Really surprising! THE 8 is becoming more and more thoughtful about his art and the message he wants to convey.

I love this song so much and this song suits minghao voice so much.

Hai Cheng heals me to my bones. I just find it so precious that this song gives me peace every afternoon as i lay in our doorstep and enjoy the sun. I could never get over it. I've never experienced breaking up with a partner, but I've experienced losing a loved one more than once or twice. How i wish The8 and other members could make more songs like this.

“To block the waves for her how tall a tower must i become ” this lyrics hit so hard this song make me very emotional and the music video is so beautiful ❤ And Hao's voice is so calming and beautiful 😭

"How tall a tower must I become" this line really hits hard there's nothing we wouldn't do for the people we love and that's the heartbreaking story 'we would do anything'

Hi baby carat here! Minghao was my bias since I first saw him even without knowing svt well! His solo music is so touching and meaningful and his passion for music shines! Thank you Minghao for helping me find you and the rest of svt! I am excited to officially be a carat y'all carats are so kind 💙

The ending lyrics and the animation really made me cry It was so emotional This deserves more recognition for the amount of great talent Something that really shoots at your heart, it's impossible not to cry at something so beautiful yet so sad

I love the dancing scenes, ballet alike, reflects in such a perfect way the deep, romantic and soulful emotions the song already has, it even feels intimate, as if they are connecting with each other's soul, this song is too beautiful

The last bit where the waves finally hit him after he’s been avoiding for the whole mv, my heart just… can’t describe what I feel… such a beautiful piece by the one and only Hao Edit: 3:01 “To block the waves for her” 3:40 waves crash into him

i started stanning svt few months back and I've come to listen to their discography because i'm really loving their new releases. while streaming, I listened to this song. it's ballad, yes but i don't know why but i feel like crying and my heart feels heavy by just listening to it, not understanding the lyrics. now, as i watched the mv with subtitles,, im bawling my eyes out 🤧 i really get emotional when I'm listening to this song... it never failed to make me shed tears 😹 one of my favorite solo song of an svt member ❤️

It's been a year since he released this music, but I keep coming back to this masterpiece, and every time I tear up.

Oh wow, because he was singing about blocking the waves for someone, but in the end he couldn't do it, he was just standing in the water without being able to stop the constant waves - at that final moment I started tearing up 🥺 I love the fact that Minghao always makes me think. And he also makes me feel so deep emotions, a true artist 😭❤️

"People's smiles are concealed by their scarves." THIS IS A MASTERPIECE, THE VOCALS, THE VISUAL, THE LYRICS, THE SONG, THE 8.

Even though you can't understand the language but the way The8 sang this song, you can already feel the emotions he wanted to convey. And upon knowing the lyrics and the reason behind this, you'll gonna know that Hao is indeed an art himself. Another masterpiece from a wonderful artist. 🥺💙✨

"Hai Cheng" is the name of Ming Hao's hometown. I think the heroine in MV is a symbol of his hometown. This song is really beautiful. No matter the lyrics or melody, as well as the emotion Ming Hao poured into when singing it, I believe "Hai Cheng" loves Ming Hao as much as Ming Hao loves "her".❤

Why do I feel like this whole song and mv could be an award-winning film? It’s so beautiful but my heart aches at the same time. :(

I obssess with the8's voice lately, I can't help listening all his song everyday. My I, side by side, hai cheng, idubilu, back2back, fallin flower are my favorite playlist. I just can't find the way to move on

What a masterpiece… I don’t understand how is this so underrated. I mean look at the lyrics….

"To block the waves for her How tall of a tower must I become" Is this for all the people who have someone they desperately want to protect? My heart! Myungho, you did it again!!!!

I'm not lying when I say that Minghao is my favorite voice, I felt such a calm in my heart that I could never explain in words. I love you more than I can say, thank you for making such wonderful music.

The melody, the lyrics, the choreography just touch my heart and I was crying while having the feeling of cannot be with the one I love.. Minghao just made a masterpiece

“getting closer and closer to the dream, getting farther and farther away from home" hits even more deeply when you listen to this song ㅠㅠ happy you’re getting closer to the dream and to your home now, our haohao~😊

The profoundly heartwrenching similarity between The8’s Hai Cheng and Jun’s Silent Boarding Gate: The feeling of falling in love as the feeling of coming home, and being lost as soon as you are separated from the one you love. It’s the personification of missing home.

i genuinely haven't seen a beatiful mv as much as this one, minghao dancing with the girl and those camera shots of them in the sun all of it was so heartwarming makes you want to fall in love, this video is just as pretty as minghaos vocals im so proud :')

It's very rare for a music video or a song to make me cry, and this made me bawl 😭 thank you for showing your vulnerability in love, minghao, we love you ❤

真的是很温柔的一首歌，听完真的整个人都被治愈了，很感动明浩能出这首单曲🥰💕💗

I'm not one to lie, so, believe me when I say that ive never cried this much with a music video before. This is art in all its splendor. Really, Minghao, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I needed to appreciate a work of art like this. My heart needed it. Thank you. Everything is perfect. The song, the lyrics, the look, the facial expressions, the acting, the being, the chemistry, the dance, the story. Thank you so so so so much.

I love how Minghao is breaking the stigma of idols not being able to interact with potential dating partners in videos!! Which exonerates the proof of his professionalism!! This is just gold!! 🙏🏼🙋🏼‍♀️😻

I am a baby carat. I started to listen to seventeen a few weeks ago. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard and clearly my favorite. Not only the melody is beautiful, the music video is too and I like how it is telling a story and duo (dance) made it more enchanting. It brings all the emotions to MV (as a whole video and music). Minghao has terrific taste. His voice suits this song so much and makes it incredible. Hope he can release similar music in future. I just want to cry and dance at the same time, but yet it brings you peace, comfort and smile. Kinda sad I didn't discover this beautiful masterpiece sooner.

This song and mv deserve much more attention 🥺🤍

it's so weird how this song doesn't feel like a 4 minute song...it felt so short but still extremely beautiful and melancholy

The way Myungho delivered the pain, sadness and loneliness the song has. Watching and listening to Hai Cheng will really make you feel an heartbreak you never experienced before. The music video, the details, the story, the places, the sunset, his acting skills, his vocals, the song and its message, THE 8 and Xu Minghao are just so beautiful. You did so great, my 8.

This song written by Ming Hao for his hometown.😭

I've listened to the song before but never watched MV...I think the song is about being homesick/missing hometown and I totally resonate because I'm in a similar situation...Feeling low in my life and haven't been home/seen my family for 3+years. After watching this I just can't stop crying.. such a masterpiece and heartfelt song 😿I'll forever be a carat💝💙

I don’t know why I cried. Maybe, I'm just too proud. Maybe, there’s something in the song that I’m related to. The whole song is so pure and genuine. This is a master piece! You did well, Hao.

The way the vibes of this song contrast with "Side by Side" really tells a lot about The8's musical versatility... He is really a great artist

ミョンホはなんでもない日常の風景を切り取って、その当たり前がいかに脆くて大切なことなのか教えてくれる

2023 anyone?

I CRIED WHEN THEY STARTED DANCING. THEIR MOVEMENTS ARE SO GRACEFUL, AND THE WAY THEY EXPRESSED THE SONG! AND EVERY TIME HE SINGS THE LINE 'DO NOT STOP, DO NOT STOP' PIERCES MY HEART LITTLE BY LITTLE IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WAY. PLEASE, THE WAY MINGHAO LOVINGLY LOOKS AT HIS PARTNER, IT IS THE MOST WONDROUS MOMENT!

“we replace words with our embrace” couldn't agree more bc sometimes we're shy to be vocal that we found our comfort by just a simple hug. no, hao.. i fell harder💗💎

压力大到失眠的夜晚，听到这首歌就会哭，释放我压抑的情绪，他真的好温柔

Baby carat here, discovering this song for first time (7/4/23). I knew minghao was talented after listening to "My I". This song, too, is a masterpiece. I cried, so beautiful. ❤

For me, this song is about longing for home, a person, a place, or something... This really hits different, beautiful, and heartbreaking at the same time. You can literally feel his feelings through his voice- I'm sobbingafkuajw

Hai Cheng becomes THE8’s 1st song to enter Melon Top 100 congratulations!

声も、姿形も、ダンスも、全てが美しすぎる。儚くて美しい。

This is so inspiring seeing Minghao’s artistry in this music video. The lyrics, the dance moves, the scenery, and all of these combine to depict an emotion to touch one’s heart. Minghao and the whole SEVENTEEN strive so hard to work on their passion and show it through their work. I want to cry how inspiring it is for me to do my best too with what I love 🥺💎

I love the red balloon scene where he was holding it & gave it to the lady. Le Ballon Rouge was a symbol of hope & happiness in a grey city. In this mv, it’s like he’s saying that “i’m sharing my happiness with you”. And I think that is very beautiful.

We need to stream this more because this is not just a song. It's like a diary entry of Minghao's emotions. It's his art.

just a little more til 4M 🥹❤️‍🩹 thank you for this masterpiece, our myungho-ya~

It hurts that it only has 4 million views ): This song and video are art!

never have I felt so single in my life

I love how the members of this group ain't afraid to be with a woman in every of their works, that show how much carats are accepting and mature. I love it here, it peaceful. -baby CARAT

"While listening to the song, I wish for the song to not be over. I was feeling that kind of feeling after a long time." - Seungkwan i totally agree with Seungkwan. you did a great job, love. i'm so proud of you.

I got a job and now I'm in probation period. I read a lot of comments saying that this mv is about the8 missing his hometown. I don't know that those comments is true or not, but every time I listen this song, it reminds me of my hometown that I haven't been back for more than 3 months and the person that I used to love but now we remain strangers wishing the best of us from far. I cried every time I listen to this song because it reminds me a lot of memories that I don't want to remember. Congrats the8 for making a beautiful song, I really lovitt❤

あまりにも美しい歌声で涙してしまいました。

HaiCheng has been ranked #1 at 2022 Year-end Genius Korea Chart-K-chinese Songs !!!! Im cryingggg 😭😭

The pictures painted by the imagery in the lyricism are so pleasing to the eyes, so beautiful. Indeed a piece of heaven crafted by our living art Myungho !

he's voice sounds heavenly, i find peace in this song thank you! myungho for such a masterpiece song! 💙💫

His voice is so soothing I can't describe how much I love this song 💙 Their solos need to be more appreciated 🥺

Everything about this is so goddamn pretty!!!! THE SONG, THE LYRICS, HIS VOICE, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE SCENERY, THE OUTFITS, THE DANCE, HER, HIM!!!!! He did so so well with this, proud of you minghao!!!

Not gonna lie. It's a masterpiece. This is the kind of sound 've been wanting to hear from their Korean releases. It's so beautiful. It's soothing. I am out of words. It suits him ㅠㅠ

His voice is indescribable, it’s such a beautiful song but I wanted to cry during the song…..I don’t even why

I love him so much 🥺 he is so beautiful! So beautiful! I really wish he makes more such songs in the future. It really suits him! The mv is completely minghao vibes ✨️ you are such a beautiful boy xu minghao. 😣

The whole MV was so aesthetically pleasing to watch. The vocals gives you this sense of healing and yet you’re slightly teary eyed in the end. The8, so proud of you! 🥺

Some songs don't need a huge view count to prove it's a masterpiece

how the heck its so underated..the solo activities and songs of members are such a gems

Ill admit that he has such a angelic voice that it sounds so pure like its the perfect sound.

The scarf!! The scarf his mom gave to him I felt like he was taking me with his emotions. I was smiling then I am now crying huhuhu My heart can’t handle this!!

I did not understand anything, but tears flowed from my eyes. This hit me really hard even though I have never been in a relationship.

This man deserves all the love, I hope he finds his comfort, I hope he finds his person, I hope he gets the love that he deserves! If only we all could give him the love n support that he gives us I'd give my all to him! I'm praying for him fr!

I think I just...found my seventeen bias

True fact: THE 8 vocals aren’t joke. His vocals so soft and healing.

The vocal? the Mv? Such a masterpiece! This time I don't see him as "the8" of Svt but "Xu minghao" as an artist. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HAI CHENG!

I'm still listening. The song and his voice are so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes home is a place. And sometimes home is a person. Home is where you find your purest happiness, and this song demonstrates how painful it is to lose your home. It’s the way you feel lost without an anchor when you lose that which-whom-you love.

These solos need to be more famous😭

明浩啊 你真的太好太好了 每次聽這首歌都不自覺熱淚盈眶...

This song was made for him, i can't imagine anyone singing it, he's an ultimate love and passion

Everything Minghao touches (or creates) turns into a masterpiece. His craft is his, and it’s beautiful to see what he does. It makes you anticipate the next one he releases. I hope you don’t let go of this passion, Minghao!

As the time passes we feel more maturity in Minghao's and even Seventeen's songs... It just that it feels really nice to be a part of this journey as a Carat

目を閉じるといつでも思い浮かんで、私の心を癒してくれます。 素晴らしい歌を本当にありがとう。 いつまでも大切に聴き続けます。

His voice is just mindblowing. Everything here is perfect 💜 *So underrated, Hai Cheng deserves more recogntion, Minghao delivered a how bunch of emotions through this song that words are not enough to explain*

Minghao is never afraid to talk about his emotions, and that's what I respect the most. In a world where people think it's cool not to care, Minghao proves that caring and expressing is the most beautiful thing you can do🥺 SVT never disappoints🥺❤️💎
