[@jheeseung]

Could it be ViVi vs Olivia Hye? There are some theories that Olivia Hye "punished" ViVi for leaving Eden - the deer-prey/wolf-predator. And the line describes Yves' complicated relationship with ViVi (New) and also with Olivia Hye (Egoist/One/HiHigh).

[@jqnbautista6785]

im pretty sure the "corrupted" odd eyes are just now full moons instead of the crescents they used to be. probably because they were able to harness the full power of their odd eyes. also we know that oec can make colored smoke and since hyunjin was in oec but gave up her powers, she needs to use an incense to create her magic smoke. maybe the smoke can send messages or be a guide to whoever it comes in contact to. like chuu and gowon in hi high.

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

i believe she can be in 9 places at once and become a cat. see the ending of around you with 8 hyunjin’s, and the missing hyunjin/cat is in eden with gowon (one&only)

[@gyselleflores8239]

Some things I noticed: Haseul being “on fire” is a callback to the ending scene in So What where Olivia Hye finds a burning white feather on the ground= Haseul’s representative animal is a white bird. The scene with Jinsoul’s halo can also call back to her feature in Egoist where the words “Fallen Angel” were written in Chinese in the back with neon lights. Her line mentioning being “Devilous” can also tie into her being known as “the traitor” in the Loonaverse for having betrayed Vivi. Yeojin being in the “rain forest” scene also goes into the lore of her having become lost in the forests of Eden. Heejin’s scene with the planets is also reminiscent of her being the “god” of the LOONAverse since she’s the one that set it off and created it. The scene with the planets is kind of how God is depicted in Christianity, being a large celestial being in space. It’s also important to note how it’s the first members of each unit who’s first ever outfits are shown throughout the music video(Heejin’s yellow suit, Kim Lip’s odd eye uniform, Yves’s white dress). The scene with the eclipse and the hands in the background seem to be tied to Egoist. The same shot is used to depict Heejin and Olivia, but here it’s Kim Lip and Jinsoul. Heejin and Olivia are supposed to represent the beginning and the end, but it could be Kim Lip and Jinsoul trying to restore the order since Jinsoul was originally supposed to debut before Kim Lip(as teased on Everyday I Need You.) Yves mentions the pink or black grid, which is referencing Heejin and Olivia. The scenes with the red moon and Olivia being surrounded by fire are all references to So What where Olivia quite literally sets the moon on fire. This is just what I noticed, did I miss anything?

[@hy.7zip]

what i noticed is kim lip and jinsoul became parallels in this MV - a ring behind/around them - light tubes scathered around them - standing on the altar

[@calamityhues]

someone already pointed this out on twitter but in ancient times (mainly in ancient china) during eclipses it was thought that dragons were trying to swallow the sun so they would beat very loud drums in order to scare the dragon away and stop the eclipse in jinsouls solo one of the lyrics is “For the sin of swallowing the sun” so olivia hye is trying to stop the eclipse/stop jinsoul?? also another neat fact olivia actually beats the drum exactly 12 times!!

[@shirowiro]

omg sorry i replies to ur comment not someone else's ignore me sorry

[@InfectiousCheese]

Fun fact : there's a Betta fish species called "dragon Betta fish"

[@optimuscrying2551]

to add on to this, and i hope it makes sense, you can see the weathered columns in the scenes of olivia and it has a red color scheme. same with the weathered look it has while kim lip dances in it. and if we go off what you’re saying with kim lips “eclipse” and olivia beating the drum where kim lips “eclipse ritual” took place, could it be olivia trying to ward off kim lip??

[@YojmaxDjabox]

Oh wow amazing comment !!

[@huxugul6981]

In olivias egoist Jinsoul also sings "For the sin of swallowing you"

[@lckittyqueen]

there is a theory that all parts of loona mvs that are in black and white/monochrome take place on the other side of the möbius strip/the dream/shadow world. in a lot of the dance scenes you can see constant flashing from full colour to monochrome, which does look like lightning, but with the above theory in mind, it could mean that loona are either in both worlds/sides of the mobius (so the mobius has merged into one) or that loona are in one of the worlds and are trying to break into the other.

[@yvesinmcdonalds9165]

that might also be what they refer to as the dark side of the moon idk

[@Hidye1]

As I've stated before, the mobius strip is a 1 sided figure, so there isn't an "other side."

[@StefV153]

The black and white usually refers to events that happened in the past

[@Sanas_Shy_Language]

I think its interesting that Yeojin is shown to have two different coloured eyes when they have the whole Odd Eye thing. Makes it seem like something is happening to her.

[@yalldveyaint4647]

frog eye circle REAL no really, why not seemed to imply some sort of connection between yeojin (grocery store, neon bars, floating cans) and jinsoul (basement, neon bars, cans in egoist)-- maybe jinsoul stole kim lip's odd eye to keep her from going out of control, and is giving it to yeojin?

[@artificialchickenflavour8547]

It seems like eclipse now is over so odd eye became full moon shape, not narrow crescent

[@coagulatedsalts4711]

the eclipse being over and powering their odd eyes makes sense. the crescent shape is like the corona of the sun peeking behind the moon. but now that the moon is destroyed (olivia hye destroyed it) they are fully unleashed. while jinsoul and choerry seem to be in control, kim lip seems to be taken over by her odd eye as indicated by the linear lights behind her.

[@russelbutt]

Maybe someone already pointed this out, but in the shots with JinSoul standing in front of her blue halo she's wearing the same top as in her pre-debut solo photobook. Also missed in Choerry's scene with her purple hoop, she's wearing a similar white tank top as shown in her Mix & Max promotional photos. These align with the call backs to pre-debut outfits like Heejin and Yves.

[@ericp8225]

The white fishnet seems to be a reoccurring motif for JinSoul. In Why Not?, she is wearing the matching white fish net tights (from the same photo you mentioned) under her jean shorts when she is fully shown in the phone booth. I guess it definitely makes sense that they would use this to reference her animal since there aren't a lot of ways to incorporate a betta fish theme, but both of these videos seem very much linked to the weird scary pockets she is wearing in that photo shoot that say "to create something new, you must first destroy".

[@sotrue5052]

YESSS I NOTICED THAT

[@i12koo]

can we talk about hyejoo's growl

[@bexcomplete7996]

7:24 so the whole different eyes thing with Yeojin, it reminds me of her really weird glowing eyes at the end of her “Kiss Later” solo mv. I always thought that was so random and as an older clown orbit, I have learned that I should never take any detail as random neither should I take them as cannon. So like everyone else in this fandom, I keep these facts in my small brain’s databank until later for further future joy:). Because whoever is writing the storyline of loonalore at BBC with digipedi never does anything “randomly” as shown by their small easter eggs and mv description boxes. neither will they go out of their way to confirm anything. Maybe one day they will but this is the magical life of living as an orbit yeah?

[@spearhallow9639]

not you saying you'd explain the meaning of the jinsoul x kim lip holding hands frame and then you never got to it 😭😭😭 other than that greattttt video !! so many things i missed omg

[@JaayJJ]

In olivias mv for egoist, her and yves had the same interactions when yves betrayed olivia and let her fall. Still not sure how but they have to be connected because that shot with the hands is sooo similar

[@mysticalia]

this mv canonized lipsoul ty bbc

[@angiemojica5199]

They also did the holding hand thing in Star/Voice! Edit: it’s in the teaser for Star/Voice. With the behind the scenes video, Jinsoul is to the left & Kim lip is on the right (same as in PTT).

[@am5ters504]

the colors in that shot were also red and blue, cuz the hands are red and the background is blue

[@angiemojica5199]

@@am5ters504 yes! I noticed that after I edited my comment.

[@ikeeneye]

Anybody else pick up that when Choerry says "we about to" right as it goes into the chorus It's similar to when she ate the fruit in her solo mv and it changes to the dark purple color. It's like they gave her the center position on purpose just for that part :O Also, you missed Jin Soul's wink at 6:44

[@isuhpi]

6:42 Kim Lip's red ring is broken, JinSoul's and Choerry's rings are both intact 8:22 is it just me or is there a room from Eden shown in the frame behind HeeJin? Olivia Hye beats the drum 12 times in the video (3, then 4, then 5): JinSoul appears after the 7th hit, Yves after 9th, Chuu after 10th HaSeul does faint background vocals for Hye's chant at the end Love your vids please keep making these!! Got any theories on the red ropes on their white outfits? And why some have only red, only white, or both white and red ropes? Reason for HeeJin and Hye's matching eyes? Hands frame: is Kim Lip ascending because she's the eclipse/shield??? JinSoul gets left behind + her blue halo because she's taking on a hero role?

[@curtiscalcaterra8890]

Red Rope.....check out String theory and the creation of the LOOnaverse...er ....ummm Universe.

[@Reanimatedoffcolorspacepirate]

Yes! Is it the "paint" right?

[@darkstorm08]

See..... Due to watching bleach.. Red string mean bound fate between one another... That's all I remember... Combine that with the fates in Greek mythos string (usually white) is ones lifeline one end being the beginning the other being the end.... This is all from memory and I'm like 30y/o so I don't completely trust my own brain

[@psti_]

For Jinsoul, Odd Eye Circle where ment to safe the world but what if one of them didn't wanna do that? What if Kim Lip went rebellious and decided to end the Loonaverse? That's why she had broken light, she's doing something that wasn't the plan so the powers are taken away from her I guess if that makes sense there's so much theories

[@birchlawpa]

"Olivia Hye beats the drum 12 times in the video (3, then 4, then 5): JinSoul appears after the 7th hit, Yves after 9th, Chuu after 10th." Oh....that's some good stuff there!

[@lpmrch]

Let's not forget to mention the constant (but REALLY fast) black and white shots throughout the whole MV. Did they f up the timeline? Also as mentioned here Kim Lip's ring is "broken", I like to believe it's a reference to Jinsoul's solo MV with the neon blue bars since they seem to switch places here.

[@lucascarvalho6169]

For me the Black and white shots means the high speed eclipses, bc the shots and the scenes of earth orbiting the moon happens in the same time

[@Shamila.a.r]

I also think the Tim line is fvcked up

[@peytoncooley8778]

The fire behind Haseul looks like wings, which makes sense cuz her representative animal is a white bird. But maybe fire wings represent her white bird becoming more of a phoenix. So maybe her hiatus is being explained as her dying to be reborn from the ashes even stronger(since her fire powers), just like a phoenix.

[@wjshty]

the white bird in question is a dove - 🕊

[@sophias5224]

some other observations: 1. choerry and jinsoul both have coloured rings, but kimlip (at 6:37) has coloured red sticks instead of a circle. this is also seen in the blue coloured sticks surrounding jinsoul in singing in the rain. 2. i also noticed that excluding Earth, im pretty sure there were 12 moons/planets/objects orbiting Heejin. Does this confirm her as the creator of the Loonaverse? 3. also, im pretty sure the back up dancers in the last chorus were wearing vivi's mask from so what as a headdress. vivi cult 2021 ??

[@atsuki18]

If 2 is true well then that wraps up why she's bbc's favorite lmao

[@meguaanaa4865]

heejin is the creator of the loonaverse, she wanted to bring more color into the world as you can see from the vivid mv. her original world of origin was eden. in the mv she is taking orders to clean the house from a higher power (most probably god) and she got bored with the monotonous nature of eden (often referred to as 'colorless world') and made the rest of the loonaverse, therefore committing a sin that caused her to get kicked out of eden however her seemingly normal, perfect universe was disturbed by the loop which caused the creation and assembly of the rest of loona in order to stop the loop somehow hope this made sense

[@Shamila.a.r]

The sticks could say her ring, aka moon/odd eye is broken

[@zabe3187]

Omg i wanna join the vivi cult

[@skylershis69]

my theory: (alot of references to the "&" album cover photo) the main disagreement is between yves and heejin cuz heejin created the loonaverse and yves wants to be in charge of things and make her own destiny (thats why she is collecting allies to turn against heejin, starting with escaping eden with yyxy), most theories say heejin gave oec their powers which makes sense cuz she has the same powers as a demigod. i think yves also has similar powers cuz shes traveling through space and universes in many mvs. what if yves gave jinsoul waterbending and gave kimlip power to control the black hole so that they would betray heejin? in the album photo we see the picture split in two- blue and red. heejin is on the red side and yves is on the blue. jinsoul is on blue with yves, and kimlip is also there but is wearing RED, meaning she might be playing a double agent for heejin. that would be the reason for the two hands frame- someone here said it looks exactly like the shot in egoist mv of yves letting go of olivia hye's hand and betraying her. i think kimlip betrayed jinsoul and left her in the black hole she was bending. in the same photo chuu is seen next to heejin instead of yves, and her cheeks are kissed by heejin (they said it in the photoshoot video). we also know chuu's representative emotion is love and it made her escape eden before because of yves, so i think heejin and chuu are being "close friends" lol and it made chuu turn on yves too. so basically alot of betrayal (and hyejoo is in the middle of the picture cuz shes just tired of everyone's drama) ty if u read so far

[@sofiabondurant6575]

i also found it interesting that only one of the doors was open at 10:25

[@Sanas_Shy_Language]

Every time that area appears during a Kimlip or Jinsoul shot, that one door is open. It's weird.

[@am5ters504]

I think it symbolizes them like, coming into contact with each other? Or having access to each other's worlds, since OEC can travel between worlds and jinsoul takes kim lip's place at the end

[@ludfaber676]

That is Kim Lip's doors. The lyrics mentions 12 doors and 12 eyes. So each dood represents them entering their temple. In the song, they said that the door must be kept open for they may need to meet again. For other details, please see my other comment.

[@shinmenzbot]

9:50 One of the door is open during Hyunjin's part

[@ohmcb]

As you can see in olivia scene as well, only 1 door is opened.. So when it's a solo scene, it's only 1 door opened and when they are complete like in the dance scene all of the 12 doors are opened which represents them gathering together

[@angelbyter]

the flower petal effect associated with chuu in ptt and why not also appears around haseul in hi high, didn't it?

[@kreativebykai]

it surely did!!

[@xiuyi]

It makes more sense that in the final scene with jinsoul it's a flower petal, but maybe it could be one of gowons butterflies too? Highly unlikely, just that was what I thought it was when I first saw it

[@miy05]

I don't know if anyones mentioned this yet, but for version a of the & cover, the colours of the background curtain are red and blue which could be related to jinsoul and kim lip reaching hands. Also on the cover jinsoul and kim lip stand together wearing their colours with hyunjin in the middle of them wearing a sort of purple dress while choerry is wearing a yellow suit

[@lastgreg8488]

I wonder if they went through the black hole and now they all switch roles like Jinsoul standing where Kim Lipp was because its an alternate loonaverse

[@28rizzons]

exactly what i thought

[@lckittyqueen]

also the choesoul “halos” totally remind me of lip in the eclipse mv

[@lovechoerrymotion3224]

i saw other details myself or on twitter so im just gonna say it here: -Olivia hit the drum 12 times -During the loona premier greeting, Heejin has a loonaverse book (bbc release it please) and she talks about the moon being the satellite of the earth EXEPT once every 100 years i think (maybe we can find hints in the song Satellite???) -In the loona teaser &3, you can notice that 6 of the girls (hyunjin, kim lip, jinsoul, choerry, chuu and olivia) have their representave color as background while 4 others (heejin, vivi, yves and gowon) have colorless/grey and white background. Yeojin and Haseul have switched their color so maybe they are related as we can also see in the Hi High music video

[@aikaiai]

11:14 could also be a parallel to the egoist/olivias solo music video

[@angiemojica5199]

Yeah! Especially with the reddish tint

[@pamuUwiw]

I think the halos mean that the odd eye still hasn't reach full activation and once they break they gain more powers which might explain how their odd eyes started looking different since Lippie's broke. A new power might be for them to grant odd eyes to other members which might explain why Haseul controls fire, Yeojin has different colored eyes and why there was an emphasis on Heejin's eyes.

[@thatonemultifandom3387]

“Count no more because that is all the 12 members” PLS

[@saslayaa]

gowon has a habit of closing her right eye you can see it a lot when she laughs

[@daskrinalps6262]

could it be that the scene where kim lip, gowon and yves were dancing is the original (or intended)/ new sub-unit oec in the loonaverse? gowon is connected to choerry when she gave her the apple, both representative animals are able to fly , and yves and jinsoul both control water ? jinsoul stopped the rain in "why not" and now yves is controlling water droplets. also, both of their representative animals involve water. maybe this was sort of like an alternate unit?

[@ophylia2415]

9:49 in that yeojin's scence, it represent welcoming haseul back! It has green setting and all, but the flowers in that scence is laceleaf, it means hospitality, stable and patient love

[@mimiaustralia_lovestyun]

gowon and vivi were together at the end of star MV and now at this song, vivi has a cool tone and gowon a warm one during their part, which are opposites, just like the star mv but vivi had a warm hair against gowon's blue hair Don't even know if this means something but at least you know it now :D hope this is important in the loonaverse and they get at least some important shi-

[@tunahead]

@@FallerASMR Probably but still curious about it

[@xiuyi]

In terms of the lighting, there is that scene where the light is orbiting them when they're dancing, but in other scenes such as with chuu and hyejoo, the light is always coming out of the same single hallway Also about the hallway as in the set, there's a chandelier there maybe to represent gowons one and only mv, and there are also lots mirrors to represent choerry. She also teleports in and out of the hallway, maybe the hallway is not eden and it's an important place where the members need to be, or it could simply represent choerry teleporting into eden to give gowon the apple. Maybe this could be a representation of the looping nature of the loonaverse Finally haseul has the green neon light behind her. We see the neon light with the other oec members, so maybe it's a reference to haseul possibly having an odd eye now

[@The1PiloOface]

All that fire thing with Haseul made me think of "So What" MV, with that omninous "burn yourself", Olivia holding fire then throwing it, and the white feather burning but reappearing. And now we have Haseul in a feathery outfit, playing with fire and having burning wings in the background. So cool.

[@monx1983]

winks missed: 5:52 (Choerry), 6:32 & 6:44 (JS), 7:57 & 8:00 (Hyejoo looks like she has a hard time winking so I consider these are winks)

[@milkflavored]

I’m surprised you didn’t include the clip of Olivia with all those extras behind her in “why not” and how it matches jinsoul with the blue halo and the dressforms behind her in the exact same pose

[@loonamakesmegoohmygodyess3439]

i also noticed that during olivia´s agressives drum-killing part (during the second post-chorus), after every hit she does, a member of yyxy appears , everyone but gowon , instead, choerry is, which if we remember during the why not first dance scene is everyone of yyxy but gowon and choerry is replacing again is choerry now related to yyxy further more than before

[@chadroshy8428]

Theory time! I collected whilst reading on Twitter and Reddit, credit to the rightful theorbits, just sharing it up with guys. OEC's original members are Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Yves, and Hyunjin. Yves left the middle earth to join the girls in Eden, (cause she's the most rebellious one, her power including mostly got to do with time manipulation. Accelerating, slowing, stopping and even rewinding or looping (Why Not MV shows Yves stopping time and items floating mid-air whenever she's been to). Lip and Yves were conflicted as both are the dominant heads, and Yves stole Lip's tape player (Lip's power item) in Yves new MV for her to be able to see Vivi (her love interest on earth) cause Vivi have her tapes (EILY mv), I'm guessing they can somehow visit each other with the tape as a median since the girl who was suppose to inter-dimensional travels has already left the OEC unit, *yup, it's Hyunjin. Yves decided to leave Middle Earth and OEC, and ascended to Eden. Making OEC, a 2-member group and desperate to complete the unit, Jinsoul recruited earth girl, Choerry. Choerry is just a typical girl on Earth having usual summer with fellow friends Haseul and Yeojin (LCM MV). When Jinsoul lured Choerry into eating the cherry, she was recruited to OEC. (Hence her odd eye is on her right eye) and gaining the ability to travel inter-dimensionals like Hyunjin. Knowing Jinsoul recruited Choerry to replace her, Yves personally meet Choerry to give her apple so she can visit Yves in Eden (One & Only MV) probably leading Choerry to leave OEC and join her in Eden. That you can see a bowl of cherries in One and Only MV, my best bet was that dining table was set by Yves herself, when she wants Gowon to join her to leave Eden. Jinsoul influenced Ohye to go against Yves rules and descend from Eden and kill Vivi (cause Vivi was Yves' love interest on earth). In Egoist, OHye burns basically everything that involves Yves, the duckling toy, YYXY outfit, in rebellion against Yves leadership *heavily influenced by Jinsoul (as an act of revenge cause Yves left middle earth). While Vivi was resurrected by LOONA 1/3 as an android back on earth. In Egoist, OHye met Heejin the girl from the earth and the one who gave colors to all the girls except OHye, as her representative color is Silver/Grey. (more story open for discussion) In Why Not, we can see, the 2 OEC girls Lip and Jinsoul enhanced their ability when OHye burnt the moon. Lip can float/fly and Jinsoul can control the water/weather. And we're here in PTT, which basically takes place in middle earth to be more specific, Kim Lip's moon (red lighting everywhere), and how her home-moon was destroyed by the oppressors (the backup dancers in spears). At the end of PTT, we see Jinsoul (probably gonna get Jinsoul's origin story) on her blue moon in the next comeback.

[@sinbadrotter]

Thank you for this!

[@luu0w0]

The theory with Yves being in OEC made me think of the sentence Choerry said: "Yves exist because of me and I exist because of Yves." Also they had their first meeting in the one cinema theory teaser (I hope u know which one I'm referring to XD), or is it a reunion? Choerry is officially an earth girl as we know but can connect to all sides of the Möbius stripe. I'm still not sure how Yves can travel, all we know is that she could escape eden and landed maybe in the OEC world? Did she meet there with Choerry the first time? Also like seemly Yves counterpart Jinsoul, Yves gave Choerry a fruit. But this time an apple. Are fruits Yves method of manipulating people? She could manipulate Chuu whrn she bit in a green apple, maybe Choerry as well? Also in why not maybe Vivi is so desperate in finding Yves she is hallucinating and sees the apples around her. Yves was in the girl in Loonatic. Did she stole the cassette player there? Was she able from there on to travel to Vivi? Hyunjins countepart is Choerry. Choerry might have been a member of 1/3 first (think of the Love&Live performance without Hyunjin but her that also was released in the cinema theory video). So they switched places. Hyunjin wore OEC clothes in Girl front and Yves in Loonatic. Your theory makes much sense :D

[@dog8068]

I thought Hyunjin and Choerry were the same person, but after eating the cherry Choerry’s reality split off from Hyunjins and they became different people?

[@pickle9028]

personally i think that the bubbles around yves are water droplets like the ones we see in the air with jinsoul in why not. and since loona is now 1 (said in the description of ptt) they all share each other’s powers. but idk for sure about this theory😔.

[@samanthanicoleibarra9955]

3:51 fave part

[@cleo5209]

The "and OOOOOHHOHHH JinSoul with the blue ring ooooohhh..." part killed me I'm wheezing-

[@bboombboom9479]

the ceiling design look like kim lips odd eye when its in red color, it becomes yellow on hyunjins part

[@rougonmacaque4233]

My contribution to the theory: after burning the moon, they're creating a new world to live on (or is it the moon itself?); olivia hye invocating idk what with her drums, heejin placing the planets, respective animals, Kim Lip mastering everything and then we got the 4 elements (hyunjin, chuu, haseul, Yves). Interesting how Yves (and choerry?) stole Jinsoul's control of water. Maybe that's why she was left behind?

[@Tunality]

Also I think For Jinsouls blue halo, it might also refer to the fallen angel neon sign behind Jinsoul in Olivias Egoist video The flag mounds being explained by Loona wrecking some idiots is my fav explanation for them lmaoo

[@blache24]

I cant believe how many details I miss every time I watch a Loona MV. the lore all goes way over my head 😭

[@jvne21baby]

The two hands holding each other looks really similar to the Egoist MV!!!! Plus, Yves saying “Pink on black grid” 👀👀

[@aliciaabdullah]

gowon unintentionally winks a lot and it's so cute. my favorite is the fact that when she laughs, she winks like a little cat

[@Hidye1]

I noticed that JinSoul had that habit in a lot LOONA TV episodes. When she smiled or laughed she winked.

[@gevsekapisko]

legends said that even today, olivia hye is STILL banging on that drum

[@ivan5830]

6:44 jinsoul winked here too!! 🧎‍♀️ 😂😂

[@user-sf1gb7pt9j]

I wonder what non-orbits think when they watch LOOΠ∆ MVS, would be like "wtf is going on here???"

[@Hidye1]

Honestly, I can probably guarantee you that there are Orbits that have been a fan since HeeJin's debut that don't know what's going on

[@TalkingAboutYooh]

Of course, since half of all Orbits are just as lost.

[@Hidye1]

[@GoldenPerception]

The “pixelation” in heejin’s eye is just how many colored lenses look haha. Really cool video!

[@reggiebell7291]

I just realized paint the town is usually a phrase denoting bloodshed and massacre

[@HeiressOfLoganbeeren]

I was thinking, what relation do Kim Lip, Yves and Go Won have? Was there any other scene where only a part of the girls are dancing together? I thought this might somehow be an OEC reference - Yves and JinSoul were paired in the teasers (and Yves was doing waterbending!), and GoWon is Hyunjin's mirror, who is Choerry's twin (we also saw Choerry switched with GoWon dancing in Why Not with the other three yyxy girls). With Kim Lip, is that some kind of parallel image of OEC?

[@HeiressOfLoganbeeren]

And then i think JinSoul and Choerry appear in that same room but with their Odd Eye rings

[@Sanas_Shy_Language]

KimLip does seem to have some sus stuff happening so-

[@springtaee]

What I thought was Yves and Go Won revisited Eden (if the corridor is indeed Eden), and they needed Kim Lip to go with them in order to teleport

[@i12koo]

if it were choerry yves and gowon i'd understand but kim lip.. i have so many questions

[@janawahba7350]

They all have flying animals lmao

[@shinmenzbot]

I believe that Paint the Town is the sequel to So What. Thematically, it makes sense. Olivia burns the moon to signal liberation from social norms - some examples include Yeojin throwing her backpack to defy going to school and Vivi being a badass spray painter. The oppressors are clearly pissed and so they go to war with Loona hence the events in Paint the Town where it looks like they are fighting. Also, at the end of So Why we see HaSeul's feather on fire. If this was a TV series, it makes sense for the next episode to reference it hence all the fire+feather motif with Haseul. Further insinuating that Paint the Town happened after So What. Loona appears to have won the war but at a great cost, their sanctuary (the Butterfly temple) is destroyed and nothing significant happened as a result of the war in this time. Here's where I'm a little confused. The individual scenes where Hyunjin, Chuu and Olivia in the temple can symbolize them trying to correct the timeline. At least in the scene for Hyunjin and Olivia, there are collapsed pillars and it's clearly been destroyed. Hyunjin trying to re-activate her lost Odd Eye by channeling smoke and Olivia performing some form of ritual/tribute. Not too sure about Chuu. But either way, their efforts are futile and Kim Lip knows the only way to correct all the wrongdoings of their current timeline is to destroy it with a blackhole and restart the Loonaverse. Another theory could be that Kim Lip with her ability to run fast can essentially time travel. That's why she sings the lyrics about needing to keep the door open and in her scene/Jinsoul's scene/Hyunjin's scene, you can see at least a door open which could signal Kim Lip spying on them. Maybe she sees that as a result of them destroying the dark side of the moon, it separated the members again (could be a reason why Olivia, Hyunjin and Chuu are separate but still at the exact same location all performing some kind of ritual). But Kim Lip knows it's impossible or probably even more difficult to reunite members in this current timeline. She knows the best way to reunite everyone is to destroy this timeline, rewind the tapes/Mobius trip and start all over again from Hi High. Because at least this way, she knows that they CAN reunite versus them being stuck in a messed up timeline. Either way, Loonaverse is destroyed by Kim Lip. But instead of starting over from Hi High, something went wrong and we enter into Why Not era. Some scenes that stuck out to me in Why Not to prove this include: 1) The post-apocalyptic feel of the MV -> them dancing in an empty supermarket, Yeojin lost but with POWERS? Also makes sense for her to go black hair bop to brown hair bop. I always thought it was the aftermath of So What but makes more sense for Paint the Town since they are fought a war. 2) Different subgroups seem to have formed, likely as a result of a messed-up timeline. 3) Kim Lip confused af with three white orbs. Maybe she lost her powers. But somehow regains them. Or she gains another kind of power. 4) Hyunjin ending the MV -> Kim Lip lost her power which awakened Hyunjin's? Or she lost her shoe again because the Why Not era is an error as a result of Kim Lip's blackhole. 5) When the small subgroup was dancing on the moon and there were other planets orbiting them which reminded me of Heejin with the moon's orbiting her. Specifically, there was a pink one that caught my attention. Maybe those moons survived the black hole and are trying to reunite the girls 6) There were 0 (or almost 0) group choreo shots... because they're separated/Why Not era is an error. Throughout Paint the Town, Kim Lip is seen with a broken Odd Eye halo (like she's ready to rebel, AKA: destroy the Loonaverse). She also appears to be communicating with Jinsoul which could be why she ended the MV taking Kim Lip's place. The Chuu petal at the end of the MV could be the aftermath of Kim Lip's blackhole. She told Jinsoul to teleport and hide so she can monitor the effects of her destroying the Loonaverse in this timeline. I'm trying to figure out Choerry's significance to the lore. Her scene with the bubbles makes me think that she teleported the bubbles to Yves. But why? Maybe to give Yves powers (since she's the one to defy Eden first) so she can try to correct the current timeline or maybe she needs to escape Eden again. Either way, super interesting that Choerry was the one that opened a portal to the war in the chorus. Another observation in PTT, they mostly wore white dresses in the intact temple but only at the end do we see them in the black outfits dancing in the temple.

[@catviolet18_]

Was waiting for this video. You never disappoint with your analysis!

[@orbitstay]

dude, i love you for this video. these details are insane

[@loonatic4529]

"‎According to a legend, one night the ‎‎moon‎‎ descended from the sky to the earth, ‎‎unfortunately‎‎ it became entangled between the branches of a tree. ... The ‎‎moon‎‎ stole the shadow from the ‎‎wolf‎‎ so that he would never forget it and from that moment all the ‎‎wolves howl‎‎ the full ‎‎moon‎‎ days, asking him to return the shadow of that ‎‎wolf.‎" Idk but this makes a lot of sense to me...Heejin is the moon, Olivia the wolf, Chuu could be the earth and the "shadow that was stolen", one of the other members (I can't remember who I thought it was lmao). Obviously there's a lot more to the story, idk, maybe Olivia in revenge burned Heejin and that somehow caused OEC odd eyes to enhance(?) their power or something? I suck at explaining things, I'm sorry ;;

[@imovye836]

Ayo thanks for making this video, this is super helpful

[@clarissefroes2091]

if you pay attention, Jinsoul has that blue circle behind her, Choerry has the purple circle around her (which reminded me rn the why not mv, where she is kinda trapped inside a purple square with fire, squares are 1/3 thing and now we discovery that Haseul is playing with fire...) and kim lip appears to be literally inside the red circle thing, because we can't see it and her scenes are all red. Maybe is a portal between the Earth and the moon or Eden and maybe that explain the hands, Kim lip is helping jinsoul to cross.

[@woonbxi3606]

[@banbasafro]

ty for showing me all the things i missed !!! and connecting it to the past mvs

[@reismaur]

Thank you so much for your work! Just a few things to consider: 1. HaSeul's went from an unespecified bird to a phoenix by burning herself and showing the hidden side, accepting that which she couldn't in let me in; 2. The level of degradation of the ceiling may be indicative of the MV's timeline; 3.1 The "corrupted eye" kim lip shows looks like the blood moon to me, the moon during a full lunar eclipse; 3.2 A solar eclipse also produces a halo; 3.3 The lyrics refer to eclipses. Anxious to see your theory vid!

[@v3ilv1y82]

Idk why but the ''chuu's thingy thing'' was the best part of this video.

[@renansouza1626]

I don’t feel like Lip, Jinsoul and Choery’s eyes are actually corrupted, everytime I see it I feel like there’s an eclipse happening in their eyes…

[@maybemablemaples2144]

Oh Gowon isn't winking on purpose. Whenever she dances really hard her eye will start to close up. She just does it and it's so cute. I also love how many practical effects BBC does with these videos. It's more expensive but it does make up for it in quality.

[@mojojojo4726]

this video was amazing !! def underrated

[@yeokaiwen4196]

Some stuff to note 2:18 - The ceiling actually is still tattered. It's just tattered on almost half of the circle of the ceiling and pristine on the other half. The shot is taken such that u only see the non-tattered part of the ceiling and you can tell because there's some bits hanging there on the top border of the frame. Pillars are whole and the setting is rather bright. 2:29 - Now you get a larger shot of the venue and you can clearly see the ceiling. Setting is more dark and gloomy with a circle of fire surrounding Olivia who is banging on the drum. Pillars are noticeable crumbled and broken at the bottom. 3:22 - Does anyone find Yves' outfit here reminiscent of Hi High? And noticeable set apart from Go Won and Kimlip? No? Just me? 4:06 - HASUELLLL YESSS. WINGS OF FIREEEE. Also she is wearing that feathered outfit that makes her resemble her "bird boi" look from her solo MV, but its not bird boi haseul its GIRL hasuel (like the hairstyle and makeup???) that's wearing it. The back of that shoulder with her chains? pearls? holding up that outfit is ALSO on fire 4:39 - Not QUITE a halo tbh. I feel like it's more reminiscent of an eclipse. 6.40 - broken light bars around kimlip. callback to jinsoul solo mv??? 7:52 - I am upset this is not mentioned and is actually why Im writing this but like the extras from before are now KNEELING ON THE GROUND before OLIVIA??? This is Olivia in the middle of converting some followers my dudes. The ring of fire is now gone too. 8:12 - Hyunjin is holding sth but I cant make it out cus the smoke obscures it partially. Well done Digipedi well done. If someone can tell me what it is I be grateful. Ok wait its the incense burner. nvr mind. 8:21 - Heejin is the centre of orbit for 13 planets??? Help me doublecheck pls. 9:31 - Chuu with surrounded by flowers, with flower petals falling. The petals falling around her also reminds me of the snowfall around Chuu in her solo MV. 9:44 - Now this is a halo. Callback to Kimlip's solo mv. Also notice there's one bright neon bar of light on the mirror at the back of this setting for Choerry. Kinda reminds you of her solo mv huh? 10:28 - oh wow you can actually see the space up there on the center hole of the ceiling. I just realised at this point. I went back to the start and yes it was there since the beginning of the shot with Kimlip. 11:43 - NOW the extras are kneeling with their heads bowed down as Loona dances. More followers successfully converted to the cult, I see. 12:29 - and the extras are joining in with the dance. They are joining in on Loona's rebellion. 13:23 - I'm not sure if this person is Jinsoul tbh, cus their face isn't shown? Yes they aRE wearing Jinsoul's outfit, but I can't be sure. They seem to be reaching out for sth. Does anyone know who it actually is? The floor of the setting seems to be the same as the one from the why not MV where the girls danced on the moon. So they already have hinted to us since the start that this is taking place ON the moon what.

[@angiemojica5199]

Yup it’s Jinsoul, her hair is blue. It’s confirmed in the behind the scenes video. Can also confirm that it’s on the moon. For 4:39 - it is a halo, but similar to how halos are depicted in Christian paintings.

[@dogboyslobber]

gowon squints her right eye when she's focusing on dancing, so that's what most of her winks are.

[@guilhermebarreiros8064]

the scene with heejin and the planets around her its the rotation of the planets but in the pespective of the moon, like heejin is literally the moon (chuu too on the scene after, they are all the moon), thats why in the end during the dance scene theres a lighting revolving the set throwing shadows at it, bc its the shadows the planets are throwing in the moon due to the rotation

[@liliespetals19]

You missed Jinsoul winking in the dance segment before yves

[@violetpinkpanda]
