[Liz 🐥🐜 SEEING TAEMIN @6v6kkoongs]

This new post from the FLOAT MV director tells us so much more about the concept of the MV!
"𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑢𝑠 𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑡, 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑢𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑠𝑡"

In Greek mythology, 𝗣𝘆𝗴𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 was a sculptor who fell in love with a statue he carved. That statue was perfect and flawless compared to real humans. He treated it as a real person and companion giving it gifts, dressing it, treating it as a lover and eventually trying to kiss it.
Goddess Aphrodite having heard his prayers brought that statue to life. He named her Galatea.

And this is where it gets even deeper!

𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗲 comes from the Greek αγάπη (love). It is a selfless and unconditional form of love. Agape is a more self-sacrificial kind of love that isn't dependent on receiving something in return. It doesn't require possession, it's about giving to the other person and caring for them. It is deliberate and expressed through actions.

So if Pygmalion represents love born from an ideal, Agape represents the opposite which is loving beyond the ideal.

The Pygmalion myth isn't just about falling in love with a beautiful creation. It's also about the relationship between the artist and their work and how this love can blur the boundaries between art and life.
Once the ideal you fell in love with becomes real, it becomes something more. It becomes a person of its own, with their own flaws and imperfections.

FLOAT talks about feeling weightless in love. "Every conversation seems to flow", "this is the greatest story ever told". But the MV keeps showing us that behind this pure, perfect (white) image there can be something unsettling (black). The thing that makes you float the highest can also pull you down the deepest.

And this is the 𝗼𝘅𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗻 Soft Violence is about.

Sinceramente, Soft Violence es oficialmente mi álbum favorito de Taemin, hay unas canciones mejores que otras pero todas increíbles y sin skip. Es un album donde lo mejor es cada una de las b side, todo es una experiencia auditiva, llena de piano, violín y sonidos crudos.

[Pen @Lucky_Penny86]

Went to Walmart of all places and heard Float blasting on the overhead speakers 😳. This means it is probably on the Walmart radio station which means every Walmart in the USA could be playing Taemin at some point in the day...

[태민 (TAEMIN) @Taemin_Xoalsox_]

Hear it coming?

<LiMiNaL> is starting to sound real.

[박력탬 Taemin AOTY out 8/31 @babycheese4ever]

I was curious if all the new posts and playlists made a difference so I checked iTunes and Taemin's little hands are back as the thumbnail of the dance genre! Soft Violence is still at the top of the US iTunes Dance Chart even two weeks after release and is now back at #1 🔥

😂 이모티콘 보고 맞추는 게임, 그런데 태민이 너무 잘한다!

정답을 너무 빨리 맞혀버린 죄(?) 게임에서도 빛나는 태민의 센스와 승부욕!

길티 활동기에 나온 콘텐츠인데, 영상 중반의 대화를 이렇게 정리하며 글을 준비했다. ‘유’는 유승균 PD, ‘김’은 김영대 평론가. ‘해체’에 대한 언급에 공감하면서 내가 조금 더 생각해본 것은 이 해체주의적 경향이 아무래도 태민 본인의 것 아니겠나 하는 것이었다.
