Peggy Gou’s new dreamy music video for 'Starry Night'

Peggy Gou has just released a new music video for her hit track 'Starry Night'.

The video was shot in South Korea by Jonas Lindstroem and features award-winning actor Yoo Ah In.

The video can be watched exclusively on Apple Music (find the link below).

'Starry Night' features beautiful images of young girls in Korean school uniforms, children practicing martial arts and long, panning views of traditionally-clad women dancing in water.

"When I always wanted to do video since I’ve been making Once EP and then it came to an idea that I was a big fan of Jonas Lindstroem who was the director and then I did speak to him about the video, to if he is interested and first time he came with the idea, he actually took two weeks to answer me, because I thought he didn’t want to do it. And then he came back with a statement saying, “You know what? This, it should be about… He wants to do in Korea because I believe that a lot of Korean artists that wants to be European, they want to copy European culture, but actually he’d been researching a lot of Korean culture deeply. So this choreography, this music, to me, and also for him, is about how people wants to feel alive. And then, we were talking about something like, I want to do something that dance like nobody’s watching you. And also the dance and the music is the moment that connects everybody. It doesn’t matter who you are. It doesn’t matter what you do. So this came to this idea and then we research it deeply and then he found Ganggangsullae, which was a really old, traditional dance that they used to dance under the moon and wishing the happy New Years and stuff. So this is how it came up, to be honest, I must say, I need to give him credit for this because it didn’t came from me, but our goal was to achieve that everybody wants to feel alive and what connects people is music and dance. Have you watched the movie Burning? The guy from Burning, he is basically like Ryan Gosling in Korea, and he saw the treatment and he said to me that actually Jonas made a better treatment than any other Korean director. He did say that.", Gou commented on the inspiration for the video in an interview with weownthenitenyc.com
