Music Videos that Remind Me of Autumn

Just like songs, there is a music video for every season. Since this is the fall edition of kpop monthly, I have put together a small list of music videos that remind me of fall! I’ve chosen all of these videos based on artists and songs I like and I’m sure there are plenty of other fall music videos out there.

I Need U - BTS

One of the reasons I love BTS’s music videos so much is their ability to create such strong feelings and form a specific atmosphere. I Need U is a great example of BTS doing just this. Between the desaturated filming and the overall grunginess of the whole video, I can basically feel the fall energy bursting through the screen.

Jealousy - MONSTA X

Jealousy is one of the more unexplainable of the videos from this list. I don’t know why it reminds me of fall. Perhaps it’s the dark and wet atmosphere or maybe it’s purely Kihyun’s orange hair. I genuinely lack an explanation for this… Maybe watch the video again and see if it makes you think of fall too!

Numb - CIX

This song was released in the later half of 2019 and the school setting reminds me so much of September and October. I listened to this song so much during the fall and winter seasons of 2019 that my brain associates it with those seasons in particular. However, once again, the desaturated filming and the abandoned school remind me of fall.

Blue Hour - TXT

Blue Hour is a must for fall. The tree at the beginning is all I needed to declare this as a fall music video. However, this video has many other fall aspects. The members’ attire, specifically the sweaters and jeans also enforces the fall vibes. Also, both the cloudy field setting and the squirrel in a sweater in the fantasy scene scream autumn. To top it all off, the song was released in late October. I rest my case.

Beautiful Scar - Lee Eunsang ft Woojin of AB6IX

This song came out in late August, yet it always reminds me of fall because I listened to it nonstop during the season. I love this song so much and it is severely underrated, so I want to start this explanation by saying: please listen to this song right now. Anyways, the video itself has a lot of muted colours and it's overall on the darker side. The beige walls, the fog and the nighttime setting all play into the fall atmosphere.

Universe - EXO

Honestly, this music video reminds me of both fall and winter. It’s a winter album, so I immediately think of winter. Yet the extremely brown colour scheme and the abundance of coffee remind me of fall as people tend to pull out these things during the season. Overall, the coziness of the whole video also screams fall, but it also screams winter. Either way, EXO are kings of the chillier seasons.

Run Away (9 and Three Quarters) - TXT

I officially stanned TXT during this era, meaning I have a strong connection to this song. Everytime I listen to it, it pulls me right back to the fall of 2019. Just like Numb, the main setting of this music video is a school which reminds me of September and October–the beginning of the school year. Similarly to the other videos on the list, this video has a dull filter which also gives fall vibes.
