Random SMCU Theories For 3AM | SMCU Theories

[@h3reandn0w]

btw i feel like its not mentioned enough but the nct lore/concept with dreams and dreaming inside a dream is basically the movie inception. if you've seen that movie, an elevator is used a lot to travel through someone's subconsiousness/ moments in a dream

[@neonpearls5340]

Thanks for the information! I’d heard about the connection to the inception movie, but I didn’t know about the elevators because I’ve never seen the movie

[@_TM_]

I was about to mention this. Also in nct world 2.0 they used their concept to make a story line and they used an elevator box thingy to move to the past or future

On Ten and Yangyang debut single they have a ticket that says not exact words, 'From Kwangya to Kosmo' and it also says they are a citizen of Kosmo.. 💚..

[@marvinyounice]

And if you notice, TEN says the word “Kosmo” in 90’s Love!! so WayV MUST be in Kosmo!!!!

[@lazydear9029]

Idk if I'm right but in WayV song "miracle" they mentioned Cosmo/kosmo word

[@Daisy-ue9vk]

Me confused asf, amazed, shocked and still keeps watching. I always wondered why most SM songs mostly NCT and superM shouting "I am the one" or " i am the one chilling with the other ones" I was......... Confused and weirded out at one point You got subbed!!!

Now that I think about it, Girls Generation's Oh and Run Devil Run fits with AESPA's concept. A part Normal College life, part Virtual Reality-like concept.

[@Boonies]

omg yes I think ED is the new boy group possibly

[@pearlaquablood7227]

I kind of believe ED is Jaehyun from NCT because he got this type of character on him in NCT 127's 'Who is STICKER' he also was wearing the same kind of clothing from the clip with Ningning and the shot from Atlantis by SHINee when Key was singing his part in the convenience store.

[@prernashukla8840]

Also I kinda agree with your umbrella theory cause I always have this feeling of "shit 'bout to go down" when ever I see the umbrella. there are music videos I haven't watched but even while seeing the short clips in your video I had this feeling of dread idk why

[@neonpearls5340]

Right? It just seems a little too eerie to be normal, and Joy’s umbrella in Queendom only makes me more suspicious!

"who is the listener they're addressing here?" WHEN I TELL U I GOT GOOSEBUMPS-

[@melodieluanepaula]

6:03 (heey, it's me again!) I GUESS you MAY BE right cause according to several EXO's theories I read around here, this maze is where the Red Force locked EXO and controled their minds to extract their powers to create their clones and fufil MAMA's profecy: reunite all 12 warriors to open a portal to a new, however both Lay and Kai escaped, one by it's healing powers, other by it's teleportation, in other hand, Tao left EXO years ago and his had Time Control powers, so for what I understood from your theory, in WayV's universe, the Red Force is kept this part of the plan, since or they have time control powers or use elevators to travel through time, but thanks to Ten and his healing powers (or something similar), they failed, AGAIN. The video it proves my theory, it's his SuperM trailer: in the beggining, he holds a dead flower and looks to a damaged painting, but after his performance, both appear totally restored. Maybe I'm overthinking? Yes, and I guess I'm quite close to be sure of it, but your videos are so good and some of it's theories make so much sense to me that I can't help myself but making complements or coming back with more questions about the SMCU

[@zeporahjanemirallesgadia709]

And ED is also a name of a kpop training system online and mostly consists of trainers of sm trainees. hmmm....

[@huhyep5604]

I have another take on this "Taemin being evil" assumption - I think that Taemin is not the all evil 'Black Mamba'. What I do believe is that Taemin might be under Black Mamba's control and he is the "follower" of Black Mamba trying to seduce or tempt other victims to be under Black Mamba's control. It brings me back to the song and MV "Want' by Taemin. In his lyrics it is as if he is trying to tempt Karina ( She appears im the MV) to join the "cult". An example lyrics of why I think this song was about seducing Karina into evil is this: "This sweetness of the forbidden apple tempts you". As we know, the forbidden apple is from the bible and that the serpent (snake) verbally seduced Eve to bite into the apple. In the Genesis story, the snake plays the role of a trickster. He verbally seduces the woman into breaking God's commandment and eating from the forbidden fruit. I think that is what Taemin was doing in the MV. Mabye Black Mamba seduced Taemin (instead of the woman just like Eve) and remember Eve then seduced the man to bite into the apple. So it was switched - Now the man (Taemin) is seducing the woman (Karina) to fall into the trap. Instead of it being the opposite just like the bible. And it is said that The serpent (aka snake) in the bible was a woman. Its adds on to the theory that in Taemin's 'Advice' he is trying to warn the girls (aespa) something. Why would Taemin be the black mamba yet still trying to warn the girls? He is the one who contacted them first after at the end of SuperM "One" MV. There is a lot of talk about Taemin's "doppleganger" and that there is a fake taemin trying to manipulate other innocent victims. I have no idea where they picked this idea from but after watching Taemin's 'Advice' MV, I am starting to believe that there might be two Taemins. In the MV, not only did Taemin have black hands like the mysterious lady in the 'black mamba' teaser, but they also showed a zoom in into his eyes (specifically left eye) just like Karina. When they zoomed into his eyes, you could clearly see a key lock. Which reminds me of the lyrics "Never get the keys to my lock" because after the zoom into his eyes, it transitions to taemin in a tiny room as if he is a prisoner. The song is quiet mysterious if you look at the lyrics itself. It feels like he is hiding something. There is a lot of talk about "crossing the line" it just feel like to me he does not want the listener to invade something. Mabye the doppleganger theory makes sense?

[@kerronwalker1589]

I have this theroy that the SMCU goes as far back as 90s -S.E.S - Be natrual, there's these shots in the video that look like they are shot in a barn wasteland, and there's like this robot thing in the video that keeps making an appearance (First sighting of kwangya), also the lyrics talk about being in a dream state and trying to look for someone. (Hello NCT) also -S.E.S - dreams come true, that video is basically set in space and them traveling across the galaxy to a new city, the lyrics again are talking about being in a dream state and how that person made them lose there sanity(Also like butterflys /fairy's). -BoAs song I.D peace B the video just gives me very very story telling vibes with her opening the jar in a field full of flowers and the song being about connecting with a new generation over the internet (Aespa connecting to there ae's). -TVXQ rising sun the lyrics talk about them fighting something or a higher being, also the fact that the lyrics and video litterally talk about a rising sun. Plus the video shows them getting ready for a battle with them practicing for fighting and going to church to pray. (Excluding the random club scene lol) then there's this part where one of them looks out on to the desserted wasteland (kwangya). The sun finally rises and they are shown winning there battle. -TVXQ ft BoA and TRAX, uhh just watch this and you'll see. Also the lyrics man I tell you. I mean tbh I wouldn't put it past LSM to have thought about this way back then as well seeing as he had the concept of a graduation system in place for H.O.T back when they first debut, I bet he came up with something like that years before he even talked about it. I mean it's just so fun to think of these things

[@aubreyvillegas1600]

My brain can't handle the SMCU, it's so vague and too scattered for now. I really thought that they will constantly release SMCU episodes for their groups but I think it will be just an aespa thing... for now.

[@Aprilxutau]

I'm really obessed with SMCU and yes,the umbrellas aren't a normal thing

[@huhyep5604]

I got something for you Neon Pearls - Have you guys noticed that in Taemin's MV 'Advice' at 0:03 you see his hands/fingers are painted pitch black exactly like this woman's in 'black mamba' teaser? Notice the way he is playing the piano, it looks so malicious as if he is being possessed. No wonder Giselle looked at the camera and said "oh his hands" telling us to notice his hands during filming for their reaction in Taemin MV

[@hellfbar522]

Hi! I'm an ELF, starting to take interest in this SMCU. After watching a fanvideo talking about the role of SJ in it, your videos are the first I watch about the SMCU. Do you know if a playlist exists with all the MV potentially linked to the SMCU with this logo-dot-thing? I've just watched two videos of NCT the origin and synchronization of dreams. The 7th sense lyrics 'open your eyes' seemed to be a hint, I don't know (tropical set reminds me of Ryeowook set in WWWU and another set reminds me of something but I already don't remember). SM often used so many accessories/items and sets several times in all the MV like these trains and elevators (tv, phonecab, carpet, bathtub...) In the last Queendom, an airpod is flying and I-tech seems a link to Kwangya in several MV (Probably not a hint but Ryeowook is using airpod in an elevator if I'm not wrong in Super Clap). All these potential hints could be nothing but just a headache and I don't think I'll have time to spend to search a lot about this SMCU but I'll try to follow your videos at least 😊

[@neonpearls5340]

Hello! I wasn’t sure if other playlists already existed, so I created one just in case. I don’t have any Super Junior videos in it as of now because their logo ending screen is different and doesn’t have a dot (but the members did say house party is in the smcu!) so I’ll probably create a second playlist of videos from before the sm logo started doing that + suju videos that are probably in the smcu. And I totally get what you mean about all the hints! I wish sm would give us more info so I could watch music videos without getting suspicious of a flight of stairs 😔 Anyways, thanks for checking out my videos, I hope they’re helpful

[@hellfbar522]

It's kind of fascinating if SM really thought about all this for years.

[@Tara-et9kc]

another thing, in LOWLOW, they had a flight ticket which read 'from kwangya' 'to kosmo' and in the reaction video, ten said they're in kwangya and they're going to kosmo to bring everyone to kwangya bc it's a nice place. BUT according to the "SMCU the origin" video it's said that there's KWANGYA and BEYOND that is KOSMO. i'm confused w this bc if kosmo is beyond kwangya then shouldn't they go to kwangya first and THEN to kosmo ?

There is one thing I have figured out that Black mamba is the monster of temptation which makes me further question are there going to be other monsters after Black mamba is defeated like the moster of pride or the moster of greed. Also in Black mamba during the chorus the lyrics goes as I want to find your other self does it refers to an æ of Black mamba? Is that a way to defeat it? Also there is one part of the lyric in Black mamba which goes as "looking like a sound" in reference to the æ could this be the intense noises heard in NCT's songs? Its 5 am and my brain is working on full capacity idek if I have a point or I'm just being an idiot.

I watch all of your videos till this one. I think I wanna share u one of NCT theories about dream. It's about the pills. You know in Matrix? They have 2 pills, one in red one in blue. We can see in NCT, SuperM, or EXO, There is one scene that point out : 1. Red blue pills 2. Blue liquid in EXO Lucky One, and 3. The whole scene is red-ish or blue-ish If I'm not mistaken, the red is dream, the blue is reality. I'm not sure. It could be red and blue are this dimension or that dimension. Maybe you can find the clearer theory. Sorry for my English

[@neonpearls5340]

I’ve seen a theory about that as well! It’s certainly interesting to think about in the context of NCT 127’s Sticker teaser where the lighting becomes red halfway through. I find it pretty confusing (especially with the red, blue, yellow crayons from NCT the origin) but I think we’ll learn more about it with 127’s comeback being involved in accessing dreams Also your English is great 😊

What is the intro song?

[@hihi615]

I think Kwangya is the other half of the world. I remember in the lore introduction for EXO mama (I think) said the world or universe was split because of the Red Force - which is why there was EXO-M and EXO-K (only Kai could teleport inbetween, while his counterpart Luhan could see between worlds). I think EXO-K was in 'our world', and Aespa is also in 'our world', but EXO-M and the Ae are in Kwangya. I have a feeling Red Velvet is also in Kwangya (or maybe it was all Kosmo and I missed something I honestly can't tell Kwangya and Kosmo apart)

[@wnnbstrdst]

i know it's totally make no sense but hear me out naevis is kai's ae

[@melodieluanepaula]

actually it do makes some sense, because in EXO's Don't Fight The Feeling MV, Kai gives us a warning about the KWANGYA similar to Ningning's in Next Level, he travels to a world similar to KWANGYA in his Mmhh MV, he featured with Karina in the Hyundai's special performance, those are the points that proves this, but I disagree, cause, if nævis is Kai's æ, didn't he need to open a POS (Portal of the Soul) to travel between universes? Unless that teloportation is another way to reach KWANGYA, your theory may be right

[@wnnbstrdst]

@@melodieluanepaula i just thought of it when in smcu ep. 1 nævis intoduced herself as "the one who opens the doors", which is kai's role in exo lore. His name means "to open" and he is exo's "key". And i think the POS is only used between digital dimension and real world. While kai teleport from dimension to dimension in real world. So he doesn't really need to open the POS. Also the mention of Ether in nct's video bothers me. What if kai/nævis/ether are the same being?

[@melodieluanepaula]

@@wnnbstrdst ok, I can get it why do you think nævis is kai's æ but ether? I'm not so sure, cause in the past to present: ether video and mama's 2020 ressonance performance, ether is described like a sea that connect multiple dimentions, dreams and realitys, just like the reality stone in the Avengers Endgame and Thor: The Dark World movies. And both in the movies and this particular NCT performance, both look like red and fluid liquids

[@wnnbstrdst]

@@melodieluanepaula oh my, i always forget about it. if the ether is a substance, mainly the red one, do you think the liquid that appeared in exo's love shot m/v (liquid in a cube) is also ether?
