Singer Nam Gyu-ri recently released a behind-the-scenes talk video of her new song I Still Like You through YouTube channel 'Tangerine Meng'. The music video of the song, which was released on the 17th, is a work that Nam Gyu-ri participated in the entire process from planning to working on the second half.
Nam Gyu-ri explained the reason for introducing the content, saying, `Even in the same music video, if you know the meaning of my thoughts and scenes, the song will come more special.'
# New excitement, fresh reverberation 'Band'
"'I Still Like You' is a dream-like song about love and longing that moves away on top of the sound of a band based on indie and dream pop. The groove is alive even in the slow tempo, and the emotional guitar melody leaves a deep impression. Through this work, Nam Gyu-ri worked with the band for the first time, trying to convey a new excitement on her own and a fresh resonance to the public.
"We talked a lot about band music with the composer. I worked with excitement about how people would see me if I were in a band"Personally, I was very satisfied, and I had a desire to continue my band career in the future." he said.

The music video begins with Nam Gyu-ri's silhouette in front of the stand microphone. He wanted to express a dark and fearful time because it was the first stage of his solo careerIn the following scene, "I wanted to give a new but unfamiliar feeling by putting makeup and style that I had never done before in the appearance of light coming in."
Also "The universe in the music video means fans. The scene of me wearing a helmet and waiting for a phone call is an expression of myself wanting to communicate with fans but hesitating to do so,' he added.
"I shed a year's worth of tears while filming the new song documentary and music video. The emotions I wanted to turn away from were melted a lot thanks to those tears" also delivered a frank confession.
# a black-and-white screen and cake
The black and white scene inserted in the middle was directly requested by Nam Gyu-ri to express the time of the past, and the image of scooping the cake reflected the memory of his lonely birthday.
In particular, about the scene where he was trying to hold onto the cake while hanging on to a wire, he said, `I wanted to express my desire to hold on to the happy memories we had together and my desire to hold on to the world"The wire hurt quite a bit, but thanks to it, I was able to express my feelings more honestly," he said with a smile.
# Freckles, crowns, and giant teddy bears
Freckle makeup and disheveled hair were devices to show themselves as they were. Nam Gyu-ri says "Even when taking vocal lessons, we start with the humblest sound. I liked that my makeup was removed through my freckles, and even the appearance that could make me look ugly was my real self."
The crown and the giant teddy bear represent the relationship with the fans. He said "The fans always covered me like a princess and like a baby. I was happy in it, but the moment I was alone, I felt a big gap between it and it was a confession that I wanted to hold onto, but I couldn't hold onto, and I couldn't express it, he said.
Meanwhile, Nam Gyu-ri is unraveling various emotions and moments as an artist in various genres through the 2025 project album 'Memory'. Prior to the new song 'I still like it', the remake song 'Heartache' was released in May.
In addition, the video is released every week through the healing concept YouTube channel 'Gyulmeng', and it is the most active communication since its debut.
