* DEATH THROES

⠀★ THE TRICKSTER 'FAMOUS' OFFICIAL MV

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀famous is hak jiwoon's debut japanese ep, released alongside the music video for the leading single & title track of the same name. a song centred around the trickster's rise to fame. this entire music video, as well as the translation of the song, eludes to the death of the saesang fan that got too close — which goes without saying that he had used their vocals for the track. the music video opens up with jiwoon tied up in a warehouse, having been tied up like his victim, laid completely bare and defenseless before the viewer.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀the next shot cuts to jiwoon holding a diamond while singing the lyrics 'shall i turn everything i touch into diamonds, those eyes gazing at me, shall give you a pearl' a sick nod to the way jiwoon had gouged out their eyes, replacing them with his diamond cufflinks

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀there was also the heavy use of religious themes, as well as greek mythology, to further jiwoon as some sort of DEITY to the viewer. this perfectly entwines with how jiwoon had written I HAVE SEEN GOD on the saesang's chest in their own blood. the red thread that jiwoon performs with throughout the song represents the thread of life, and how he is the one that holds this person's life in his hands, threatening to break it at any point — to which he does towards the end of the video, signifying the victim's death. one move in the choreo depicts jiwoon as jesus, nailed to the cross. and lastly, the usage of half eaten apples — the fan is seen as eve, while jiwoon the forbidden fruit. the temptation of him was too strong, even to the point of SERIAL STALKING and trying to get to close to what the trickster truly was.

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀throughout the chorus, jiwoon tells you EXACTLY who he is. he has never tried to shy away from the darker side of his character, but he plays the victim so well that nobody believes he's truly the one pulling the strings. the chorus chants the lines 'FAMOUS ( i'm so fabulous ) FAMOUS ( i'm so dangerous ) a voice calling for me and a delight of ecstasy'

( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )
