Arguiably one of most successful songs from 4th gen and kpop as whole, was released on this day 3 years ago.

It's been a whole rollercoaster since then, with huge ups and downs but "Ditto" remains as the song that could be a musical version of what "warmth" and "comfort" means to me. I always think of this song during winter days and when I miss some people in my life. I don't know if we will hear it live again, but I'm appreciating the fact we got to listen to it in the first place.

My high school days didnt remotely look like how it was presented in the MV, I never wore uniforms, I wasn't alive during 1999 lol, it's a life I've never had but watching and listening made me feel like I was. A memory I can grasp in my hands without ever living through it.

I don't always expect from upbeat(-ish) kpop songs to make me feel so emotional but this was one of instances it did. And as I look back on the last 3 years since then, as a big fan of the group, I imagine myself as the teary deer at the end of the clip, looking at the girl who filmed her friends with her camcorder.

Share.
