The teaser is 17 seconds but it already looks very intimate. The photos that he released previously all have the same dark, mysterious concept. These were to give us a sense of the mood we would expect the song and music video to be.
Reciting AllKpop: “The MV teaser begins with a pensive shot of the singer, seemingly reflecting on a thought in his head. He focuses on the camera in front of him, making direct eye contact with viewers. The teaser is accompanied by a soft and serene piano sound.”
His last release, ‘Last Breath’, had a similar concept, except the mood had a bit of natural light streaming in. ‘My Life’ doesn’t seem to have light, besides the fire he lit. It might be that ‘My Life’ will show a darker side of his emotions or what he went through as a person.
In any case, we wish Mark the best of luck for the release! Stay tuned to the release and while waiting, streaming ‘Last Breath’ here:
