Raise Up The Flag is the latest music video from Kwon Jin-ah. The singer unveiled the track along with the new album on March 2, 2023. The EP is named The Flag, and the song serves as the title track.
The singer-songwriter started her musical career after appearing in the music show SBS’ K-pop Star 3 in 2014 and securing third place. Later she went on to officially sign an exclusive contract with Antenna Music. She made her debut in 2016 with the full-length studio album One Strange Night.
Antenna announced the anticipated comeback in the month of February 2023. Along with the announcement, they also released the tracklist of the extended play on their official social media platform. A total of five songs consists in the album, including the title track. The artist has also contributed to the songwriting, composition and production of all the songs. Since her debut, the singer has been showcasing her various musical skills and steadily, her participation is increasing with new releases.
The three minutes forty-eight seconds long music video opens with Jin-ah sleeping on the bed when she suddenly wakes up, confused about her whereabouts. She walks outside the room and runs through the corridors to escape from the house, but she ends up in the exact place she started from. It is a metaphor for how she is stuck in the same place in life, unable to move forward.
Finally, she accepts and embraces her true self, which sets her free. She runs through the snowy fields and the forest, appreciating her freedom and breaking off the shackles built by her own insecurities. She looks back at her old self one last time and moves on from the life that pushed her down.
Jin-ah shows off her incredible vocal capabilities accompanied by a spectacular full-band sound. The bridge of the song is the most beautiful part, where she attempts and successfully delivers the high notes. The artist also displays her impressive talent in the b-sides songs. Ranging across various genres, the titles are: Nighttide, These Days, As I Dream, and Butterfly.
