REACTION to GFRIEND - A TALE OF THE GLASS BEAD: PREVIOUS STORY & BUTTERFLY EFFECT

[@Zoe-103]

I love these videos especially butterfly effect, the music in both of them is so beautiful and so dramatic as well as the narration. As for this comeback, we thought we would see one on the timetable but there wasn’t one but if you noticed on the timetable at the bottom aka underneath the MV release there is an empty box so some are thinking there may be one there? But as for theory stuff I have something I wrote from when butterfly effect was first released which was this- I believe that the blue light drew them into the forest which is also the labyrinth and they’re unable to escape and they’re alone. There’s a line that says “we ran towards the blue light. We knew we’d be together again when we reached that light” which is suggesting to me that they are running to find each other but they all seem to be stuck in different timelines.That blue light may be the blue butterflies. And if you saw at the tree in the end they were surrounding that one Apple, it’s hard to see whether the butterflies are an enemy or not. They lured them into the forest but that ended up with them being lost and alone. They all seem to be from different timelines as well based on their outfits which are mostly seen in their previous music videos- Sowon- Apple Yerin- Apple Eunha- rough Yuju- crossroads SinB- time for the moon night Umji- crossroads Originally, I thought Sowon’s was from Sunrise but it seems to match her Apple one from when she was in that corridor(?) Some people are saying both Yuju and Umji are from crossroads due to their fight in the music video. Also the image at the start of the video has a very similar art style to the mini book in the labyrinth album, the book is called MÄRCHEN which means storybook in German I believe. They are including one in this album as well (it’s in all 3- Labyrinth, Song of the sirens and now Walpurgis night) I’ll link the translations to the 2 märchen books here- 1st- twitter.com/odetteswan_/status/1224685789134540800?s=21 2nd- twitter.com/odetteswan_/status/1283732753498796033?s=21 In the video at the start it shows a fairly dark scene. This is very similar to the love whisper scene at the end of the music video but now the tree is dying/ dead, the 6 flowers have wilted, there’s the broken bridge behind the lake (present in the music video), the swing which the radio was on in the music video is broken, the radio is on the floor and there’s also a backpack and a teddy bear on the floor which is from love whisper as those were what Umji were carrying with her- some people also think it’s the bear from rough and the backpack from time for the moon night. And also something else I think is that perhaps the forest is the labyrinth. Maybe the tree Eunha found is the centre of the labyrinth? And this theory ended up being true if you look at the Apple MV, the part where they are dancing in the white outfits if you look at the walls it’s the labyrinth. Also shown when Yerin is running through the labyrinth in the MV. It’s the easiest to see in a part that wasn’t included in the MV but rather the 2nd MV teaser for Apple where they are sat in front of the Apple tree and the background has the Misty forest in the background (at 0:08 in the 2nd mv teaser). That Misty forest was shown on the timetable for song of the sirens which also showed the labyrinth Here- twitter.com/sourcemusic/status/1276168275576205315?s=21 As for good theory videos I recommend the channels- Bookish Theories and Laina Sunflower!

[@paull.3146]

I hope that this comeback will clear everything out for everybuddy's peace of mind hahahaha

[@AKATSUKIROBES]

Spoiler alert: It won't lmaoo

[@aryhnazl3152]

that's so impossible!!!

[@metamon2704]

It won't but honestly I wish it would - not sure many people appreciate a cryptic story that will likely never end.

[@afriend5107]

Maybe they will end it but maybe not in this comeback.

[@ShadowNight6023]

At this point all I can think of is that they gave into their temptation in Apple to become disco dancing witches lol

[@alyssag4671]

The theory 1. It begins with love whisper MV when they got their power. In Navilerra MV they are kind to each other (navilerra means butterfly btw) 2. Fingertip MV, they kill each other because they envy each other's power. Eunha use her power "turn back time", that's why no one being killed at the end. 3. TFTMN MV, so we (buddy) thought eunha was the one died. But wew from "the tale of glass bead" and some interviews it's looked like only eunha who saved. The members is being trap in different dimension They only can meet each other at night 4. Sunrise MV, this one explain that at the sunrise, eunha will gone from their dimension:( you can see there only one piece cake that was eaten when the clock is at 05.30 morning 5. Crossroads MV, eunha use her power again to turn back time, total 3 times, to fix everything. But it turns to be a bad decision. The situation become worse and worse (The butterfly effect). The member now is trapped in different time and space. The MV, they has 2 choices to find other members. but yeah eunha is fu**ng dumb by choosing the road with bluelight (where the blue butterfly fly). 6. Eunha found the apple and eat it. Apple is actually symbol of envy. Like you have power and you eat that envy then it turns you into a witch. Well in the apple it's looked like eunha found the members. But their personalities has changed maybe because they were drunk at that room kkkk. There's scene where they burn the tree, which means they want to get rid of their envy feeling each other my grammar isn't that good anyway, i hope this make sense^^

Zoe's comment gave a very thorough view about how many see these narration videos that set up the framework for the Gfriend's lore. It's interesting and also ambitious in trying to connect all their MVs since their debut. It's hard to imagine the production team has all these in mind at the very start of Gfriend. Regardless, they serve as a useful map that guides our readinga of Gfriend's storyline going forward. From what I understand, Gfriend album comes with a story book that speaks to this framework, so casual fans may not have as much insight to the construct as those who bought the albums. In any case, the lore gives Gfriend an additional dimension to intrigue and fascinate their fans. It's a nice way to promote the girls and provide value-added fun for those that like to play detective. It's truly enthralling how folks can detect the smallest details out of all these videos. I happily let others more committed to educate me afterwards.

[@edgarharviant4429]

Bookish Theories is the perfect choice for the explanation Kaia :)

[@PBAT7]

Umm , but for me laina's theorys makes more sense and more accurate than bookish theories, but their theories are also good

[@missyterious]

I literally searched this yesterday but i couldn't find many reaction then now you posted this! Im truly happy♥️

[@club2467]

Fun fact in the second video when making it, the camera crew had to tell Yuju to slow down because she was just tOO FAST. She isn’t the gold medalist for 60 meters at ISAC for nothing.

[@urmygalaxy1]

[@richter4446]

There's a video for GFriend's theory from debut up to Apple era by Laina Sunflower kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Lcd5p7n6drbKs It's almost 40 mins long but it's a good comprehensive guide to their story. It's all predictions and guesses to how the pieces of the story get put together but its cohesive :)
