Xiumin was practicing the piano. Although he was decently competent, he wasn't as skilled as Hsingche. This would be his first project where only he is involved. Technically it's not a SM project, but a subsidiary company that has been growing.
Woolim Entertainment, home of the popular group Infinite. Despite being from a small agency, they made airwaves for their unique dance choreography. Of their most impressive singer was Korean-American artist: John Park.
His voice was unsually husky, but he could raise his vocal cords without much strain. The man has shown potential to be a capable vocalist.
Xiumin was there to act, the real singer was a young trainee named Jin. She was only seventeen years and already has shown herself to be a powerful vocalist. She was shy of course meeting him, but she soon warmed up. The real kicked was his co-star who was even younger.
The child actress Kim Yoojung. Barely on the onset of adolescence, she has established herself as the nation's younger sister. She retained that carefree innocence that child normally carries. She was barely transitioning into teen roles and this is her first one.
She played a blind daughter who was put under the care of Xiumin, her mentor. Her father felt she needed someone to help her with her blindness. The way Xiumin helped was playing the piano. Through her hearing said sound, she was able to improve her senses. It was later discovered that Xiumin had a condition that would prove fatal. It was decided not to reveal to her until the day he finally passed. The videos ends with her grieving as that familiar sound was echoed. For a music video it was surprisingly emotion heavy and the song reflected it.
It was tragic song about loss and wanting to him to look at her. Xiumin even cried while hearing the recording.
