In short, CAWMAN is an integrated multimedia plan for the , a new project which brings together all SM Entertainment artists under a single worldview and storyline. As such, this could be a great future source of content for fans. Founder Lee Soo Man announced the back in October 2020, and the artists who’ve been incorporated into the concept so far include Red Velvet - Irene and Seulgi, EXO, NCT, Super M, and BoA. CAWMAN is an acronym created as follows: C is for “Cartoon” A is for “Animation” W is for “Webtoon” M is for “Motion graphics” A is for “Avatar” N is for “Novel” SM is the blueprint of kpop since 1st gen sm ate up all yalls favs companies

By seeing this it looks like that Redvelvet, Wayv, Nct, Exo and Aespa is all in KWANGYA. If you watch their music videos you will see the similarities in the ending. Woah this concept is mindblowing and it also reminds me how dumb i am.

[@yunnjinhee4199]

So Redvelvet, NCT, EXO, WayV and Aespa is all connected to each other. So many question can be answered in this new content of SM. Are they fighting the same force, Exo fighting the X-Exo. What if the Aes or Black mamba and X-Exo is like ally then both of them are trying to rule the world or both of them are trying to steal Aespa and Exo identity. At the beginning of Nct Resonance Mark Glitch and it’s the same with what happened to giselle Ae and the professor. I actually think shinee is also part of this and KAI mv you can it too, i think kai has a big role in this concept, you can see kai going to places like his powers in the mv. All of the Sm Artist have like a tv in their mv who is either glitching or something crazy happening to it. SuperM is actually their savior that’s why they were made, SuperM is the one that is gonna save them from KWANGYA that’s why they are the avengers. Ps: this is just my theory

As a fan of Marvel movies and Kpop, AESPA IS KILLING THIS CONCEPT AND THEY ARE OUTSTANDING FROM OTHER 4TH GENERATION KPOP GROUPS

[@augtleo]

Yess, I've never seen any kpop group do something like this, it's super extra and I'm here for it

[@sonezens2078]

The amount of money SM poured to this video is probably higher than entire album + promotion budget of mid-tier agency

[@Kammy_-ez8jx]

don't forget SM is mid-tier agency now lmao and antis were giving SM artists so much crap for it on twitter but then immediately jumped the bandwagon to support SM a couple days later smh. It's just too funny to see it go down

[@user-vb2cn9xm8m]

I'll try to explain, please bare with me. At the start of scene, the professor explains everything especially the AE which is yourself in another world/dimension. Giselle is the first one to show. She's like the one who's more in public appearances, the one who collects information to give it to other girls with the help of her AE version. (Just observed with the public photoshoot thing) Next is Winter, she's like an assassin, to clean every hindrance that might destroy them and AE. Next is NingNing, she's like the hacker of the group. Observe the scene where there's a conference about introducing the AE system, the woman Infront explains the NEW EVOLUTION when NingNing hacks the system showing the butterfly she draw earlier in her scene, also with the help of her AE version. Meanwhile Karina has the more interesting character. She portrays the role as a girl with her AE. Though all of the girls uses their AE, Karina is way different. The scene where she swim to meet her AE is the start of the plot. They were inches apart when the scene came back to Giselle, asking "WHAT IF THE AE IS HACKED?" she ask that after (or before?) *Perks of forgetting things easily* then The professor's hologram starts to glitch then disappear afterwards. Now to the professor, he asked "LEE" on what happened because he's not yet done explaining to his class when the glitch happens. "LEE" on the other hand answered "You left the class on your own". The scene seems showing foul play. Back to Karina, The whole AE system has been hacked by BLACK MAMBA. She rises from the pool, seeing her AE being surrounded with black magic by the BLACK MAMBA. She then asked "Who are you?" She already knows that it's her AE but she still ask because something is odd. Showing the dark aura of her AE, the camera return to Karina with her all black eyes like she's also under the black magic. The next scene is about her being lured with the woman who has the dark aura, showing the skin of Snake, which is BLACK MAMBA. Going back to the professor (yes coz he's part of the plot) I believe that he's the BLACK MAMBA playing in human body as HIM. Before the last scene end, he glitches again and again then a form of AE with dark aura (close to the aura of BLACK MAMBA) shown. The professor is the BLACK MAMBA now has her first target who's KARINA. The AE version of girls appears, planing how to solve the hacking problem in their system. That's where the adventure starts. Hope y'all under 🖤

[@bizzyy3881]

I don’t get it either.. to be honest, everyone is just pretending to get it when everyone is confused af.

[@anna.pompeu]

I think winter was just playing a FPS game with her ae

[@soodaengi6852]

thank you for explaining this ♡

[@twinkle6956]

Lets wait without clowning our selves 😂

[@Taevio96]

I think you mistook something Karina has a vision with the woman and after that is when she asks to ae-Karina ""Who are you?"
