  • The first that I saw this i tought that the little sister was a ghost :S

  • what is the name of the girl with make-up?

  • what is the storyline???? there are like so many different version of it and im confused!!! :(

  • The blind girl looks like Hara!

  • look at those heels O_O.

  • BEG forever !!! SON GA IN SARANGHAEYO!!

  • so confused .

  • it was a sad story

  • <3 this song

  • The blind girl kinda resemble Miss A Suzy :) AND YEAH THIS SONG REALLY DESERVES AN OSCAR ! /approved/

  • Song & Mv is awesome

    I wonder what the little u looking accent marks are. Are they like the - over the o in Japanese? (Like in ko ko it's actually Kou Kou. [Can't figure out how to put the - over the o]) I'm not fluent in Japanese nor am I Japanese. (I do have Japanese and Chinese and had a Korean friend(s)) But I do know some things about language, cultures (myth, religion, food, pop culture), history and relations. Japanese that is. And a bit for Korea and China but nothing language wise.

  • @Koriinjrocklova It's not at all similar to the elongated o in Japanese- it's an "uh" sound, as in "bus." It's commonly written as "eo," for example in "Seoul"- pronounced "suh-ool" :)

    The character looks like this- ㅓ

    It can be confusing due to the multiple ways people write it w/ Western alphabet... I've seen it written like "ou" too.

  • I am in love with this video, I mean this video deserves an oscar ^^

    I LOVE K-POP <3

  • This is.. creepy and wonderful :O The acting and song (plus lyrics) are all really...

  • I cried listening to this song the first time. <3 All their songs are so beautiful especially this one.

  • all I can say is dang that's a small bathroom

  • the lady looks similar to sooyoung (snsd)

  • There is a mistake, at the beginning, the girl is wearing shoes and around 0:05 she is not, then she is wearing shoes again... :O!

    T_T I love this video, and I like to think deep interpretations of it =D

  • Kim Eana, the lyricist of Brown Eyed Girls, explained the meaning behind this MV in her blog. the translation of her blog entry can be found on snjeung's wordpress.search up "snjeung cleansing cream mv" with google and it should be the first link! Kim Eana also explained BEG's Sixth Sense MV too. that translation is on allkpop. these MVs with symbolism are so awesome, i can't get over it. XD

  • @zdarkgalz :( Oh, I read it and...so simple in the end. I prefer the interpretations people do here xD!! I wanted to believe they were the same person, showing 2 sides, but then it was weird to have 3 dishes in the table. Little sister had to exist as a different person, and not like a side of the old girl.

    :) thanks for the info!

  • super

  • Comment removed

  • awesome.

  • The best explanation I read about this MV was about the two girls being the same person, one was the mature one that can stand up for herself but isn't happy, and the other one was the playful one that needed protection from the real world but was happy. C: That is my favourite one.

  • Where's narsha ? Im a newbie -_-

  • @Itsmeonlyable hurm this mv did not show da singer :) but if you wanna see narsha can watch abracadabra orsixthsense or oasis or hotshot~~

  • @Nurfana986 thanks! :)

  • @Itsmeonlyable the mv doesnt have anyone from beg =]

  • @xoxoMADinLovexoxo oww thnks :)

  • I can't watch the video alone, it really scares me. Am I the only one? Watching it with others is fine though :) And the song is great - it's been on repeat for me the whole day.

  • The lyrics totally don't match the concept of the "The blind girl is the innocent side of the wife."...

  • Woah, I've never liked a song from them more then this one.. definitely beautiful

  • The elder hates how she has become. She hates herself, and also the girl who resembles herself so much. It's a bit like Pandoras Box, be happy unknowing or be miserable knowing.

  • The blind girl cannot see what "normal people" see, though she can see her own world, she plays alone in her own world, she innocently isn't aware of the real world.

    The elder female isn't jealous as some of you say. She sees herself in the girl, she's desperately trying to protect her from the real world, she knows everything about being hurt from love. When she saw the girl with make up on, she got upset, she doesn't want the girl to grow up to become herself.

  • @Miitttoo After looking at ur explaination, I'm crying even more ;....(

  • @Miitttoo Oooooh, thanks :D

  • @Miitttoo Uhm, no. If you try to do a little research, you'll find out that these sisters lost their parents in a fire, which also caused her little sister to be blind. The older sister is burdened of being left with her yet she's also guilty for feeling that way.

  • ..I also think that the blind girl is the younger sister of the woman. The woman got jealous of her because she can't do what her sister does w/ her husband. And when she sees the face of her sister w/ a messed make up, she got irritated & lose her patience that's why she got angry w/ her & push her into the bathtub.. that's what I understand in this Mv :)

  • I tot the blind girl is her love enermyXD

    (I dint read the lyric)

  • Comment removed

  • Actually i think the Blind Girl is her Sister.. the lyrics had 'Unnie' It means older sister...==*

  • i think that girl is her sister that's why in the lyric had "unni".

    unni means older sister right??

  • so confused.

  • Comment removed

  • I think this MV can be taken in different ways. A bit like Picasso's art. Somebody thinks they're the same person and someone thinks they're sisters. After all, it's very touching MV and a beautiful song ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, basically unnie means sister in Korean.

    Anyway, it is a great song by a great Korean girl group.

    That's all to it! :)

    A collaboration with 2AM? BEG hwaiting!

  • they should just make Ga In be the blind girl..

    and maybe Miryo as the woman?

    wouldn't they suit well?

    <3

  • Omg .....so amazing

  • This song is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFULLY

    they all sound soooo HEAVENLY the only problem in this is that My RAPPING QUEEN

    MYRIO only has Two Versus More for MYRIO PLEASE-.-!!!!!

    BEG HWAITTING!!!!! ^_^

  • @Ne0mychan ohmygosh I thought the same thing.

  • i think the mature woman is her unnie:)

  • This Music Video deserves an oscar for brilliancy.

  • A lot of comments about this video

    this video has a lot of meaning depends on how you see it

    and all of the meanings are wonderful

    very-very wonderful

  • the mean girl is so cute...

    I fell in love with the mean girl...

    I think they are sisters and one fell in love with the other's husband. How can you drown your 'other half'?

  • @XtremePowerChannel it's symbolism, it's not supposed to make sense XD

  • Blur....

  • This song sounds very similar to Lilly Allen's Littlest Things!

  • I LUV DIS SONG!! its so EPIC!! im not rlly in2 balads but dis is an exception....

  • love BEG's MVs so much...really filled with questions..

  • the song is called cleansing cream, why would you think the vid would make any sense (ಠ_ಠ)

  • Oh my gosh! I'm so confused with all the different explanations o.o. but it's a really good song! I hope they release an official interpretation of the mv

  • And only when the water erased the make-up, the elder sister realized that the younger only needed her love. Moreover, maybe the message from this video is that nowadays, people wear masks too much, such as the thick make-up mask of the elder sister, and then forget about other relationship, even the relatives. Let's put off the make-up live with the true personality, and take care of people around us. I think so~

  • @popntwinbeez i like ur explanation the best..since they mention unnie in the lyrics.i guess it fit

  • @laloomimonino thank you for reading my messy words ^^

  • @popntwinbeez ur explanation jinjha daebak!

  • OMG..more confusing after reading all this comments

  • I think the younger is such a lonely girl who desires to receive love from her sister. You can see the scene that she hugged her older sister n smiled happily. The elder just woke up at wrong moment, saw the younger touching her man n then misunderstood. Maybe she admires the older so much, she sat in the wardrobe, not bcuz of the man's suits, she touched her sister's clothes. Perhaps she idolized her elder sister and just wanted to be like her so she wore make-up n tried to catch her attention

  • lyrics is slow ?

  • No this song is about a girl who had her heart broken and its the cleansing cream and makeup thats leaving her like that. In the end the onlder sister gets sick of seeing her younger sisters pain and she takes her to the bathroom and forcefully removes the makeup. The younger sister doesn't want that she just wants to drink away her sadness. In the end she mentions that it hurts now that her heart is closed, but it means the younger sister is starting to face the facts.

  • My view: The older sister took away younger sister's crush. Once the younger sister was like her sister, wear make-up pretty & all. But what's the point of pretty make-up since the guy forget about her & love another woman. As her love is gone, she got into depression cuz blinded by love & cannot forget the guy. She get worse as she keep seeing the guy since he become the older sister's husband. The older sister feel guilty & angry seeing her younger sister like that. So it hurts both sisters.

  • I don't get it still -.-

  • @KriZzyilyL33t3uk if you go on eatyourkimchi's channel they have an explanation of this song. their channel is really good and helpful when you don't get some music videos.

  • wow it really is a good son i super like it!

  • beautiful I realy love the meanig of the song

  • nearly crying bcoz of this deep meaning of this song

  • I felt sort of sad and shaky

    wow..

    this song is wonderful

  • I think this song is about one person: the naive and the rational. The woman's heart is hurting because she can't get over her past love although she told him goodbye. The blind girl literally symbolizes "blindness": she doesn't know how much love can hurt. The husband is the love that keeps haunting them; the younger can't stay away but the older knows better than to pursue their love. When the blind one smears makeup on her face, the other is torn by how pathetic she tried for this man.

  • now it makes sense!so the blind girl like a guy but he doesnt like her so she has to move on but deep down she knows she cant and the older sister knows she cant either and so by the end she sick of it and shes like wake up its over now!!i gotcha=)

  • awwww i finally found it!!! i heard it in some chinese store that was selling this really cute crafts!! i had to ask the lady about it

  • Definitely watch Simon and Martina's analysis of the video. They point out interesting symbolism and cinematography. watch?v=Qqk2sRSceU8&feature=re­lmfu

  • I actually really love this song... I have realized something and I think i'm experiencing the same thing... I like this guy and i thought he liked me back but he ended up having a GF I was really shocked but I didnt care... well at least i thought i didnt.. now i realize i've been quite rebellious after i knew he has a GF.... :(

  • this song has the deepest meaning,compared to all the songs i've heard this yr.

    its prob my fave vid too <3

  • nice....

  • Though she's still loves the guy in the past, she wants to move on. The older sister realizes, and wipes the make up off her, but also is telling her don't make the same mistake as to marry someone you don't love. So in the end, the older sister is being cold to her sister.

  • But because she's blind, she doesn't realize that her sister has no feelings for the man she's married too. And so one day she got confessed to. She starts dating the guy, but he changes his mind, so she tries to put on make up for him.

  • Actually, I think that the little sister is unable to forget her past love. The little sister looks up to her unnie because she's so pretty, and she thinks her sister is happily married.

  • I think the blind girl and the lady are the same person, the man is their husband. The blind girl calls her 'Unnie' because she has more control over the marriage. They don't have a happy marriage. The blind girl (innocent self) falls in love outside and tries her best to be tgt with him; putting on makeup, imitating them. But the lady decides to stop her. She tries to remove her makeup (wishful thinking) but still gave in to her innocent love. The husband then no longer has access to her heart.

  • *little sister is trying to take her husband or not, but I think the little sister is only trying to imagine her own fanciful marriage. Her blindness prevents her from seeing how her sister and her husband act, so she doesn't know that it's superficial.

  • I think there's a guy that the little sister likes, that isn't shown in the video. She puts on make-up, plays with her sister's clothing, and tries to imitate her, because she wants to be more like her married sister.

    However, the married sister sees what she's doing and is annoyed by a sort of reflection of her younger self. In order to keep the younger sister from doing the same as she did, she crushes it, and tries to get rid of her own mistakes as well. I don't know if she thinks the littl

  • The younger sis is blind, so she wants to be like her Unnie. One day, some guy asked her out and the younger sis ran away.The younger sis wants to talk to her Unnie (Have a drink), but the Unnie is cold and pushes her away. She wants to be attractive like her Unnie, so she puts on the makeup. But her Unnie misunderstood the whole situation, and thought that the younger sis wanted to seduce her husband, so the Unnie put 'Cleansing cream' on her. (Washing away all the makeup)

    :P

  • It's so confusing, so did the older sister let the younger sister drown in the bathtub in the end?

  • @xxNoobi nah, she realized what she was doing so she stopped and felt ashamed about it

  • @RiceEater412 in the sub what to do,overthrough all the night,I can't forget him

  • her husband is handsomee :**

    I want some :9

  • I interpreted the video like this....the blind girl is not in love with the husband, she is just fascinated with both of them. She touches both of their faces to feel their features, she touches both of their clothes because she likes how they feel. She puts on make up to try and be like the woman because she admires her.

    The woman (possibly the blind girl's sister) thinks that she wants her husband even though the blind girl is just trying to be like her because she admires her.

  • Too...much...analyzing...

    My brain is fried.

  • actually the girl loves the husband.she tried to know the husbands face,tried to seduce the husband.thats why she is so hurt in the lyrics.GUYS READ THE SUBS!!!

  • @SRIPUNITED

    Um...i don't think you're reading the sub right... the little girl isn't seducing the husband. She's blind. She's just trying to be like her sister because she loves her.

  • Actually, you can see when the husband is filling the bathtub

    and when the little girl is applying make up at 2:04

  • REAL MEANING OF MV:

    Both girls are the same person. the blind girl is the innocent self, blindly in love. the mature lady is her logical/grown up/rational side. the tears that erase her makeup are her true feelings that break through the makeup of logic. mature lady she sees her innocent side wearing messed up make-up as a sign that she is lying to herself wearing the mask of confidence since inside she is blinded by love. hurting

    In the end she can't abandon her innocence

  • @CookieLala97 Oh thanks a lot. At first I thought they are sisters and the younger one fall in love with her sister's husband

  • @CookieLala97 WOAH! now i know. lol, i thought the meaning of the mv is: the girl with white clothes is abnormal and she is the daughter of the guy. then the matured lady is the step mother.. and she gets jealous and gets irritated of the girl with white clothes.. and the girl with white clothes went to the room of her step mother and father, messing up with their stuff and also the make up of her step mother. and her step mother got annoyed so much already so the started abusing her..

  • @CookieLala97 .... that's not the " REAL MEANING OF MV" -.-

  • @izzylee1234 so wtf is the meaning of the mv tell the truth if you really konow it -.-

  • I wonder if the girl acting as the blind sister is really blind.

  • ugh its so addicting!i wanna change it bu8t then i dont UGH ...im keeping it..

  • deep song. -.- can anybody tell me who the blind actress girl is? :D

  • i want to embrace the blind girl so pitiful...

  • WOW this story can totally be my literature passage...

  • so the girl dies at the end?

  • @VeronaMarishka no she did not. i think... ~^^

  • mybodyintakeismusic. tumblr. com/ post/ 12785200555/ the-brown-eyed-girls-are-back-­with-their-new

  • @ArisaW I came with that conclusion because it's almost the same to me. I'm the oldest and i still the innocent one but my lil sis is "mature" and wears more makeup than i do so!!! thats why i came with that conclusion!... =) & i still have my winnie the phoo collection n my room!! n im kind of old but nt that much!

  • i want there to be a part 2 for some reason...am i the only one??

  • The blind girl obviously love her sister and sees the world in different eyes. She goes to feel her sister sleeping and as other kid (cuz she literally is like one) felt curiosity to feel the guy her sister likes but she wakes up in the wrong moment and she misunderstood it. when she's in the closet she's looking for her sister clothes putting aside the dude's clothes but her sister has not enough confidence in herself cuz the only thing she wears is a mask to cover her real self..

  • I think this video represents more than what the song says. I think that the girl with all the makeup is the blind girl's little sister. The little sister wear all this makeup just because she's in deep love with her husband but her husband is in love with her makeup and she knows it. Now she's just jealous of her big sis cuz she is so innocent and she had to sacrifice her innocence to make the guy she felt for fall for her. at the end i think she realize that and starts crying.

  • @DayanaY24 the song says "unni" which means older sister. the more mature girl is the older while the blind girl is the younger sister. it makes more reasonable sense this way also bc when we think about youth we get the sense of innocence. the blind girl is younger bc her room is dolly and has a warm atmosphere. im not sure where you came to the conclusion of the blind girl being the older sister, but what you just said works the same way as the blind girl being younger, in which she is.

  • so is it an internal conflict within the SAME person or are they really sisters............so the younger one loves her older sister's husband and the older got frustrated ?

  • @uohecc can be both i think

  • how does the blind girl even know about make up if she's blind...

  • @charlijuliet143 hearing about it. yes she's blind, thus, she put on the substance wrong. besides coloring wrong, there was creamish makeup on the cheeks when it shouldnt be there. she knows about makeup but she doesnt know the difference between powders, liquids, or gels because of her blindness.

  • I think that the blind girl represents the younger version of the unni that wears all the make-up. For her current husband to probably like her, she was so blinded into putting on all the make-up to just for him to like her, hence the blind girl. ^^

  • one question...what does the guy do at the end of the music video at 3:01-3:05 do?? what does he pull down??

  • @XXemoXanimeXXgirl He tries to open the door, but he find's that it's locked

  • @Kiiane really to me it looked like he was tuning the water to the tub for some reason xD anyways thank you so much for answering to me :)

  • I didn't really get the video (well, I kinda did, but I found out way more) until I watched Simon and Martina's explanation of it, :) love eatyourkimchi

  • The top 2 comments make sense..and so does simon and martina's!!! XD love the song <333 a beautiful ballad and well made MV

  • it somehow reminds me of pray by sunny hill

  • there were a stupid fucking who dislike this video !! stupid !!

  • huh.didny expect this. i thought this song was supposed to be an advertisement.... 

  • @xoxbubblibelle Yeah, same here. Hah. I saw SimonandMartina reviewed it, so before I watched their video, I decided to watch this. I thought they were being sarcastic about it being a serious video. *cough* Guess not. ;p

  • I don't why the song title 'Cleansing Cream' relates to the music video meaning.

  • @yerlis95 I think it's just because the older woman wants to cleanse herself or her sister (depending on how you view the video) from the relationship with the man and the blindness of the love they feel towards him.

  • @yerlis95 I think it's because it's to do with makeup and everything and cleansing cream removes makeup. Idk lul c:

  • whose tat girl???

  • it's so mysterious

  • Comment removed

  • *mouth drops* I kinda LOVE THIS! It was soo good

  • I thought the young girl is blind and her unni's husband reminds her of a guy that broke her heart and she can't get over him and her unni gets frustrated with her and tries to get her to wake up and let go of him.... but i could also see the other senario too.

  • I love Han Bobae's acting here (she's the 'younger self'). I really have no words. :')

  • totally felt the meaning of it...

  • two women= the same person

    the younger version of her is her own self, immature and blindly in love. The older self goes crazy looking at that illusion young girl, like a newborn chicken getting to know the world, cuz she doesn't want that younger self to make the mistakes she's made with love, becos she is experienced. The younger self tries to make herself with pretty makeup, what is the use? she is too shy. 1:52 then she baths her younger self in the bath tub to wash out the makeup.

  • @far2crazed I agree but I think a bit different... Mature woman wears a fake makeup of confidence, considering love nothing but a game, but underneath the makeup her real self exists, they innocent girl blinded by love... The MV is about how blinding love creeps through her defenses, the washing scene is confusing... I think she tries to deny her makeup is fake and that her love is true for the man... The song is called Cleansing Cream, kinda gives you a clue

  • it opens with a scene of the younger sister gasping for breath in a bath tub. both sisters have the same black smear on their left cheeks Instigating that they're the same. The younger girl wants to experience more mature things She walks around feeling things, even trying on make up to be more grownup. The older woman does not like how the younger is trying to grow up and in the end, violently pulls her into the bathroom to wash off the make up, metaphored as the mask of her new adult hood.

  • @ValentineCreations I actually think they're the one and only person, she wants to act tough and grown up, and pretend love is just a game to her, because she's been hurt before, they young girl represents the real selgf that she hides, innocent and blind in front of love.

    Cleansing cream is the title of the song... means removing the fake mask that she has and realising she's blinded by love ... thus the young girl

  • @HachimitsuBoy85 I looked it up. LOL.

  • another masterpiece of Brown eyed girl, after two years and they came back with this marvelous song...=)

  • maybe the girl have personality disorder

  • It hurts.

  • Deeeeep. . .

  • unni = sister

  • heavy

  • umm.. does anyone else thing the younger girl looks a bit like suzy from miss a?

  • @cheeze1016 That's what I thought.

  • The naive girl unintentionally took off the mature girls mask and emotion, they both want to be loved and 'try hard' to be loved

  • the mature girl acted confident but lost her confidence over the naive girl. She is afraid her husband will see what a mask his wife has on. Her husband is slowly interested in the naive girl. In the end of the video the naive girl puts on heavy makeup and the mature girl was ashamed when her husband looked at his wife. Because the naive girl's action emphasize the heavy makeup/mask the mature girl put on perfectly.

  • I think it's more like ..

    The mature and experienced girl lost her confidence over the young naive blinded girl. She trained herself to act, look, and control her own emotions perfectly like the ideal type of girl that should look perfect together with the guy she loves, her husband. Whereas the young naive girl is blindly in love and is completely different from the modern intellegent skilled women.

  • I don't really get it though.. Why did her younger self want to put on make up? To attract the guy she likes? But then why later on when she gets older she wanted to erase it? But if her older self wanted to erase the makeup then why did the actress still put thick makeup?

    Hmm. Or does it mean that her older self had to put on makeup because she had no choice? If not she'll not have the guy she likes?

    Okay I'm completely confused.

  • This tune is so similar to Lily Allen - Littlest things. Im not trying to start things as I love BEGs is just an observation, see what u think

  • question:

    if she accidentally drowns herself in the past, would she die in the present?

  • The younger- naive, blindness-purity. The older-mature/cold, wearing heavy makeup to cover her emotions. The older thinks that the younger is in love with husband(false). The younger loves her sister, trying to put makeup on in order to be like her. The older tries to wash it off 1) because she does not want to be replaced 2) metaphor of how she had hidden her happy/purity for love-resents it. Older goes crazy, she wishes she had never put on the makeup for love, like the younger is doing.

  • @SuzurinCovers what u say makes the more sense to me...

  • The older girl is from G-Dragons 'Breath' MV!XD

  • @nurulshimazamli on her face it's makeup! But she couldn't put in on properly:)

  • Who is the guy in the video

  • thanks for romanization and translating

  • er...i dont get it.. is it the young one is in love with her brother in law or something? then make her older sister angry?? then whats with the dirt on her face dining table moment??
