IU’s Shopper MV directed by DPR IAN
The music video of IU’s Shopper is based on the concept that there is a shopping store where shoppers can shop whatever they want and how they want, they will not care about what others think or how they are perceived. They simply reach for the highest or the lowest whatever they want, and they are satisfied with it.
