Epik High and Davichi released the music video for their first collaboration "Mise en Scène" on October 13. The visual playfully pays homage to iconic romantic films such as 'La La Land', 'In the Mood for Love', '(500) Days of Summer', and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'. Despite the song's melancholic theme of heartbreak, the members' performances bring unexpected humor.
Production was led by Kim Hanjoo of Silica Gel. The track merges the musical chemistry of both groups with Kim's sound direction. Rather than dwelling solely on sentiment, the project adds cinematic playfulness. Each recreated scene meticulously mirrors the lighting, composition, and color palette of the original films.
The title itself is cinematic. Mise en scène is a film term referring to all visual elements within a frame. The song title is translated directly into the video concept, offering recognition for those familiar with the source films and discovery for those who are not.
Each member steps into character. Epik High's Tablo channels Tony Leung from 'In the Mood for Love', while Mithra Jin embodies Ryan Gosling in 'La La Land'. Davichi's Kang Min-kyung and Lee Haeri take on lead roles from other films. Their earnest immersion, paired with subtle awkwardness from actors with no prior experience, becomes part of the charm.
How many film references did you catch? Hunting down the originals might be just as rewarding.
