IU revealed that she and director Um Tae Hwa, who has directed films like Concrete Utopia and Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned, were discussing who to cast for the male lead when they decided that he needed to “possess the mood of a young boy,” but still be “very cool and reliable.”

While considering who might fit that description, IU coincidentally needed to contact V for something unrelated and decided to send him her new song at the same time.
V immediately loved it and “happily decided” to star in the music video for “Love Wins All” with her.
