NewJeans stands out as one of the most remarkable 4th generation idol groups in the K-pop scene. Their latest release, the music videos for "Cool With You," have once again managed to captivate fans with their artistic expression.


The music video, carefully crafted with top production, showcases their remarkable talent and innovative approach to storytelling.

The latest music video featuring 'Squid Game' star Jung Ho Yeon and renowned Hong Kong actor Tony Leung, was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. The unique aura and impressive storytelling mixed with the aesthetic cinema have sparked discussions on various online communities and social media platforms.

One netizen took to the popular Korean online community TheQoo to share their take on the music video's storyline.

The netizen explained, "She (Jung Ho Yeon) follows a woman throughout the day and connects her to the perfect man when he shows up. 

The netizen speculates that Jung Ho Yeon is Eros, the deity of love, who is responsible for connecting the bridge of love between people. They notice that the NewJeans members are the angels that watch over this deity.

During the events, Jung Ho Yeon meets a man she falls in love with at first sight. The netizen explains, "A man appears in front of her eyes, and she falls in love with him at first sight. (Of course) he doesn't know of her existence, so he leaves. And she follows after him."

The netizen continues, "She is an entity that connects people together when their rightful pair appears, but she's so absorbed in him and stares only at him that she doesn't realize who appeared in front of him." 

The netizen continues to explain that Jung Ho Yeon continues to follow the man until she feels doubt about her job. NewJeans, who are the angels watching over Jung Ho Yeon, watches over her, filled with concern.

As the days continue, Jung Ho Yeon sees the people she connected together start breaking away as the love between them is now gone. Nevertheless, Jung Ho Yeon can't help but continue to love the man she saw.

That is when she decides to leave behind her role as Eros and becomes a human.

In the second video (part B), Jung Ho Yeon has finally turned into a human after standing in the rain. She is finally able to appear in front of the man of her desires.

The two spend the next few weeks together, falling deeply in love with each other until tragedy strikes. 

By the end of the second part of the music video, Tony Leung - speculated to be another Eros - appears in front of Jung Ho Yeon's eyes, standing behind the man she loves.

While crossing the street to meet her lover, Jung Ho Yeon realizes that her lover isn't looking at her anymore but has eyes for someone else.

The netizen continued to interpret that Tony Leung had planted another "love" into Jung Ho Yeon's lover. Now, Jung Ho Yeon has to face the other side to love - the sadness of separation.

In the end, Jung Ho Yeon finds the guardian angels who were watching over her and watches them briefly before disappearing into the night.

The netizen speculated that the narrative might continue with the music video for "Get Up" since Jung Ho Yeon leaves with a mysterious smile. 

Other netizens also added to the interpretation with their take and also praised the music videos. They commented, "I think also standing in the rain signifies something. Like she knows standing in the rain would turn her human. That's why she picks up an umbrella even before it rains," "The interpretation is so crazy. I was kind of speculating that Jung Ho Yeon is Eros," "The music video is so good," "Or if Jung Ho Yeon is Eros, her lover is Psyche, and Tony Leung is the Aphrodite who goes between Eros and Psyche," "Tony Leung? This is epic," "These interpretations are intriguing. Give some more interpretations theqoos," and "The music video is so crazy good."
