Music video

The concept of the music video is about both sides of the mirror. In the music video, the members of Shinee give the main female of the video a makeover to make her the 'dazzling girl' they see her as. Taemin takes care of the make-up, Key is the fashion stylist, Minho does the hair, Onew is the graphic designer, and Jonghyun is the photographer. At the end of the music video, the girl appears in the room Shinee was previously in and the members of Shinee sit on a couch below the mirror which is shaped like the letter D.[16]
