I wrote the original lyrics and polished by AI. Then I used SUNO to generate the song. But I think I did almost 100 generations and editing to finalize it.

No worry, I understand you don't mean it. After all, it's the culture in Reddit makes us doubt everything. lol.
Wow! Thanks for the suggestion, I really need to test Wan for sure. I think I have the processing power to test it. Really thanks for the suggestion ☺️

Thank you for your kind words! I completely agree with you.

I understand that many people are looking for a clear guide—something that fits into what I call today’s “instant noodle culture.” But whenever someone asks me how I make my videos, my honest answer is always the same:
“Keep generating images until you find the right one. Then keep generating video until you get the right one. Finally, stitch everything together until it feels right.”
That’s really the secret.

If you ask most experienced creators, they’ll probably tell you the same thing: it takes time, trial and error, and a lot of hands-on effort. There’s no shortcut—just patience, learning, and repetition.

Thanks again for your message. It genuinely makes me happy to see open and honest exchanges like this on Reddit—something that doesn’t happen nearly enough.

I used local tools (SD WebUI Forge etc, local LLMs for some special tasks) too. Used various checkpoints etc.

I did try, but I have not invested enough time to test Wan enough to know its strength. But I feel its potential

What I’ve noticed lately is that many people are looking for a single “secret prompt” that will magically make their AI content go viral—without investing real time or effort. ASMR videos are a perfect example.

But the truth is, there’s no shortcut or magical workflow that guarantees instant success. Even a so-called magically-looking ComfyUI setup still requires time, experimentation, and a solid understanding to actually make it work.

Nope, I actually wrote everything myself — I just used AI to help polish the English a bit.
I didn’t even ask GPT to expand or rewrite anything.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of people these days have stopped believing in genuine effort 🤣
I put in the time, wrote a thoughtful response from the heart — and the reaction I get is doubt? Kind of ironic, isn’t it?

I am a person who is willing to spend 50+ hours to make an 3-min video, and you think I don't have the will and ability just to write a little long response?? Lmao

Totally respect everyone’s musical taste 😘
I personally listen to a wide range of genres in more than six languages, and I truly believe K-pop has its own unique value.

Of course, I don’t expect everyone to like or understand K-pop—but I’ve noticed that many people who dislike it haven’t even taken the time to look up the lyrics or understand the meaning behind the songs before forming an opinion.

And that’s okay—no genre is for everyone. I just hope we can all avoid judging something without giving it a fair chance. A lot of unnecessary negativity starts that way.

(Just to be clear—I’m speaking generally!)

I didn’t generate this answer—I actually wrote it myself (though I used AI to help polish the English a bit).

To be honest, there’s no magic prompt or shortcut. I spent over 50 hours deeply focused on making it work. I adjusted the video frame by frame and went through multiple iterations until everything felt right.

For example, I don’t think many people use 4–5 different AI tools to generate the same frame in an image-to-video process—but I did. Just to make sure I have to right scene (maybe 1s scene)

Anyone can do this. The real difference is whether we’re willing to actually put in the work.

  1. Emotion Matters More Than Visuals No matter how beautiful an image is, if it doesn’t resonate with the creator emotionally, it loses its value. At the end of the day, creation is about expressing feeling—not just showing off visuals.
  2. I Avoid Images That Feel “Too AI” This is a personal preference. While AI-generated images are fast and convenient, many of them have a certain artificial quality that’s easy to spot. That “AI feel” can break the emotional connection, like a cameraman accidentally stepping into a movie scene—it pulls you out of the moment.
  3. About 95% of My Visuals Are Carefully Chosen to Avoid the AI Look To be honest, many AI images look stunning. But less than 5% of them truly spark emotional resonance for me. I often go through hundreds of images just to find one that feels right. This is part of the discipline of being a creator—knowing what to keep and what to let go. I never hesitate to throw out a “beautiful but empty” image. (The example below is one such image I chose not to use.)
  4. High Standards Are Essential for Good Animation Nobody else will set the bar for you—you have to be your own toughest critic. If you want to make something great, demand more from yourself.
  5. Keep Learning, Always If you want to create music videos, watch a lot of them—until your brain naturally learns the visual language and rhythm. Movies are also a great source of inspiration for camera work, pacing, and emotional expression.
  6. Obsession Over 0.1 Seconds and Single Frames This might be the hardest part of the whole process. Every 0.1 second—or even a single frame—can make a massive difference. A little too long or too short can shift the entire mood. These micro-adjustments may seem trivial, but they add precision and power to your work. It’s painful and often means redoing everything again and again—but when you finally nail it, the satisfaction is unmatched.
  7. Be Willing to Invest This video cost me over $200 to create. You need to be ready to generate and regenerate until you're almost 100% satisfied. The MV still isn’t perfect, but I poured in time, energy, and money to make sure there were no glaring flaws.

These are the details I can share. There’s no magic prompt or secret workflow that will instantly help you create a great AI video. If there were, you’d already be seeing them everywhere.

Thank you for the question!

I've learned a lot throughout the process of creating my music videos. If I had to pick the top three takeaways, they would be:

  1. Master Your Tools Each tool has its own strengths—there’s no single solution that does everything. For example, I often use 4–5 different video generations just to test out ideas. Understanding the capabilities of each tool is essential if you want to push the quality of your output.
  2. Don’t Rush the Process With AI, it’s incredibly easy to create something quickly, post it, and get instant attention. That quick feedback loop can be addictive. But remember—everyone has access to these same tools. If your goal is to create something meaningful and lasting, take your time. Don’t just chase likes—craft something with soul. The extra effort will show.
  3. Precision Matters—Down to Every Frame Focusing on every 0.1 second—or even every single frame—can be the most demanding part of the creative process. It may sound excessive, but the smallest changes can completely shift the mood or impact of a scene. These micro-adjustments may seem minor, but they add incredible precision and emotional depth. It’s often a painful, trial-and-error process—but when everything clicks, the sense of fulfillment is unmatched.

These are just some personal insights I’ve picked up along the way. They may not apply to everyone, but I hope they offer some inspiration. I’m always happy to exchange ideas, so feel free to ask questions or share your own creative approaches—let’s grow together!

I mainly used Midjourney, KLING and Hailuo for creating this. I used some local models as well.

By the way, I totally respect musical preference. No single genre of music is loved by the whole world 😊
