Director and co-founder Rima Yoon at South Korean prodco Rigend Film leads members of K-Pop group BLACKPINK down a rabbit hole of frenetic design and VFX filled with nods to traditional Korean culture.
Released as part of their third mini-album Deadline, the video includes ornamental Korean patterns such as the sujamun that expresses the wish for long life, and the Hoemun, a traditional geometric pattern made of lines that loop without a clear end, symbolizing continuity and eternity.
The design and VFX where handled in house and in cooperation with the le truc team in Geneva and Paris.
