In one scene, Sunmi appears on a washing machine under the sea as she gazes into the camera before dancing, creating the illusion of a modern mermaid.

During a showcase Tuesday, the K-pop singer said she was inspired by the creature and drew inspiration from the mermaid in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

The video comes to a climax as the chorus plays for the last time, switching between different settings featuring the singer in a number of outfits before she lights up the room in red at the end.
