Unrealscience (a popular science communicator who explains everyday subjects through scientific concepts) shares his metaphorical interpretation of IU's"Unknown Planet" MV ** He also is one of the narrators whose voice appears in the MV "What if IU is the star, and she has been a star all along, from long ago until now, and humanity on Earth simply mistook her for an asteroid and tracked her? ['330 Adalberta' reference in the MV] It is actually impossible for a star to come extremely close to Earth. The idea of 2 people 'approaching' or 'coming closer' does not necessarily mean a real physical approach. Instead it could be a shortening of perceived distance caused by an observational error. Could real love perhaps be interpreted in a similar way? If we interpret the MV according to the setting of the song, we could simply interpret it as the unrealistic situation of a star actually coming closer. But if we look at it realistically, we could understand it as a situation where someone who never actually came closer was felt to have come closer, and where one person loved the other alone, or where the two people each loved separately. That, too, could be poignant. Ultimately, rather than giving one definite conclusion, perhaps both interpretations are possible, and which interpretation we want to choose is up to us. In the former case, I think it is a situation where they actually come closer, meet, fall in love, and then become distant again. In the latter case, they never actually became close, but one person loved and longed for the other alone, and then became distant again on their own. If we use love as the metaphor, I think both interpretations are more than possible." _____________ 🤯 Literal interpretation 💫 A star really came close 💫 They met, loved each other, and eventually separated Realistic interpretation 💫 The star NEVER actually came close 💫 Someone simply felt that the other person had come closer. They loved and longed for the other from a distance (perhaps all alone) without ever truly meeting. The feeling of closeness may have been a perception rather than an actual change in distance. Eventually, they became distant again, even though they may never have truly been close in the first place. Yet the love and sense of closeness they experienced were still real to them, even if the actual distance between them never changed
