[MV REVIEW] POMEGRANATE IN CAFFEINE MV

Hi, it happens I have a question from my beloved @/amarvica on twitter which still has relation with Yoseop's Caffeine MV: 'What does the meaning of pomegranate which appears in the beginning of this MV?' Ehm... at first I didn't see this fruit there, but after watching it again, yeah here they are:


Actually pomegranate symbolized many kind of things, depend on the conceptual significance. The most famous one comes from the Ancient Greek Literature:
The pomegranate appears many times in Greek mythology. It is most famous in the story of Persephone and is known in classic Greek myth as a symbol of fertility and bounty. To summarize the story, Hades, king of the underworld, takes Persephone to the underworld. Demeter, goddess of crops and Persephone's mother, became enraged and stopped crop growth. Zeus then ordered the release of Persephone. Hades, before she leaves, forces her to eat pomegranate seeds and thus doomed the goddess to the underworld for a portion of every year. From then on, while Persephone is underground, agricultural growth stops and the world turns dry; when she rises back to the world, the earth begins producing an abundance of crops and flowers. Hence, Persephone's eating of the pomegranate seed represents the changing of seasons; her rise to earth represents spring and rejuvenation; her descent represents the winter's approach and death. Pomegranates, thus, symbolize fertility, resurrection, and fruitfulness while also being the significance of changing times and seasons.(EHOW)
So, I can conclude that the pomegranate in this MV is to show us the meaning of changing times and seasons. Why? Because according to the concept of this MV and the story line, we can see that Yoseop is happen to having through all the 'moving on thingy' from his beautiful love relationship into a single/solo. This means the changing times of his life. That's why the pomegranate appears in the very beginning of this MV after Yoseop paying enough attention to the sheep/lambs to show us the setting time. Kekeke. I mean, the setting time is after they break up, and in the middle of going to 'move on'. Well, yeah, he still stuck there thou. Look, the knife on them and stuck on the table, wohoo. Stuck, stuck, and stuck. The time stuck there - s t u c k.
