Many fans have been confused and trying to understand what the MV of “Come Back Home” really means. For this reason, Yang Hyun Suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, decided to explain the story behind the video:
“The content could be a little difficult to understand, but keeping in mind that happiness in the real world is the most important will help the viewers understand the intentions of the MV better. The MV of “COME BACK HOME” is set in a near-future city, and the concept is that people in this era prefer the virtual world over the real one, just like the movie ‘Matrix’.”
He went on “These days when people meet they look into the screens of their phones instead of having a conversation, which shows an addiction to cell phones and games. I think this behavior demonstrates that people like the virtual world. Even at playgrounds kids play with cell phones, and this will worsen in the future and people will be more enthusiastic about the virtual world than the real one.”
He then explained the story, saying, “In the MV of ‘COME BACK HOME,’ DARA is heartbroken by a man she is in love with, as he prefers the virtual world. For these reasons, the four members of 2NE1, DARA, CL, BOM and MINZY enter the virtual world themselves and turn into warriors to destroy that world. Through this, we tried to convey the message of how important the real world is, and about the human touch.”
YG also explained why he leaned toward a music drama rather than a MV filled with choreographic scenes as he said, “2NE1’s MVs were mainly choreographic ones until now, so we wanted to try something new. We wanted to invest our time and money in the computer graphic work, which ended up in a 500 million won budget. I hope the viewers see the latest MV as a new challenge taken on by 2NE1.”
Do you feel better now that YG personally explained the storyline? It’s indeed a great concept for a video! Don’t forget to watch “Come Back Home” MV!
