[@LainaSunflower]

Just in time for the comeback (barely!) - THANKS TO EVERYONE for requesting this video so much - it took over 2 months to create so I really appreciate you guys coming to check it out. I hope this video helps for those that wanted a comprehensive look at the TXT Universe and all their MVs, or is just a fun video for those who love TXT! Thanks for being here everyone 🌻Stay sunny!

[@harshadakamat6989]

hybe saying greed is the greatest evil of all is so funny

[@pochacoooooooooooo]

I CACKLED

[@Ann-1023]

Came here after minisode 3 "little prince" concept trailer to understand their lore more deeply THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

[@HRecycleBin]

It just occurred to me, the wish that they wished on a star that got corrupted probably wasn't just them wishing to be together forever but a wish to be together and play dnd (or stardust or whatever its called) together forever. That's why they can't escape the game and has to keep playing so many versions of it in every universe they exist.

[@LainaSunflower]

Yess exactly; just like “this” where they are always playing the game 👀😬 I love twisted wishes 😭😭

[@kunfusedmultistan]

oh my goodness thats smart i never even thought of it

[@val8750]

7:57 hey did you know that one of lotte world's parks in korea is called magic island? there's where they recorded to do 9 and 10. also if you look up how to get from ttukseom station to magic island, the map will only give you a train/bus route

[@starlite156]

I was coming here to say that. Enhypen's event was held at magic Island in Lotte world. They didn't build a theme park for it. I'm pretty sure the reference to the real world one was at least inspired by lotte world

[@CatieleRodrigues]

watching this before the comeback today 😭

[@g.k8573]

Thank you Laina for blessing us with a long TXT video before comeback tomorrow ❤

[@evelinramosmiranda619]

pls talk more about what the whole thing of soobin and taehyun being liars in cysm might mean for the main storyline

[@ImThe_Cutest]

As a new moa (4 months) I really appreciate that u explained the lore of txt universe! txt i my favorite kpop group and I really wanted to know more about them so thank you so much! I hope that u would do more videos about txt❤❤

[@tyunluver]

i wanna know/understand txt lore soo bad but my attention span and my patience us horrible 😭😭

[@brontee]

Hitman Bang recently announced that BTS' ten year anniversary comeback will be centred around HYYH which I believe is the origin of this universe concept. I wonder if they are moving away from the Hybe Universe theory to build up the indvidiual narratives and layers. I do believe that every group's lore still materialises from the basic foundation of the Hybe U. I'm also thinking that due to the pandemic, the company don't have the confidence to make permanent creative decisions, and hence the ambiguity in the absence of a set plan. For example, BTS' Film Out represented Jin coming to the very last timeline and it still not being correct/exploding - this directly relates to BTS' universe however they had no description disclaimer as seen in their earlier work.. The immense growth of Bighit into Hybe has rattled their plans about but I seriously hope they redirect these universes to, one day, intercept again.

[@kunfusedmultistan]

i was wondering, in Sugar Rush Ride, it says "The devil said 'give me, give me more'. is it connected to yeonjun's horn and how he was trying to break it off? or is it the cat wanting more of something from them, trying to get them to make another deal?

[@Emgee78]

Great job on the video, Laina! Can't wait to see how the webtoon concludes.

[@LainaSunflower]

The conclusion is sooo close too (they must be doing a part two…)

[@caliallen]

This was the best, most well explained video of txt’s universe! I watched the whole thing and enjoyed every minute of it 💜 Thank you for spending so much time on it! Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!

[@MinBabou]

35:39 : OMG! I when to Korea one mouth ago and I remember seeing this Magic Island add in Lotte World, and me and my sister took a photo of it and said out loud : TXT Magic Island!!!! (Also, the enyphen soundtrack play on repeat there, it was intense cause it was the same 3 song for hour. ) Anyway, hope they come to Canada this time! I will save on my budget!

[@LainaSunflower]

ikr why do they keep skipping canada?? so sad about that haha - you're so lucky you got to see magic island tho, thats awesome!!!

[@someone-kx5sx]

Omg thank you so much just in time for the comeback!! 😭❤️❤️ I was going to watch some of your videos to recap before the mv drops tomorrow but this is amazing ❤️❤️

Enjoy!! 🥺

[@ygsprincxss333]

watching this bc i saw the new concept trailer and i'm a sucker for a good storyline lmfao. i'm not a moa but i'm a fan of txt, like i'll keep up w new music n stuff. casual fan but i'm so interested in the storyline hehe

[@LainaSunflower]

I hope it was useful! 🥺MOA or not, thanks for supporting TXT!

[@ygsprincxss333]

[@chaeyoung4634]

bless you laina for another wonderful longgg video! thank youuu>< we love the txt storyline~

[@j3ww3l]

you are so amazing for this. i really needed to catch up on txt lore and you always come in clutch.

[@HRecycleBin]

Thank you for the clip btw, its really good to get a full update of the whole story. It's so complicated that even though I've followed you for so long I still get lost or forget things in the story. I can't wait for your break down of the story in Chasing that feeling. I like how you interpret things. It's very difficult since the story telling of TXT is so non-linear.

[@brontee]

Thank you so much for working so hard on this content... genuinely a lifesaver and have saved us so much time!!

[@n_nash_h]

ima watch this later but omg THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this, Freefall being their final entry to the lore and wrapping up the amazing 4 years of TU made me panic cause i still have little to no idea what the hell is going on there, so thanks so much, HAPPY COMEBACK MY FELLOW MOAS Edit: just finished the video (took me 2 sittings cause i really want to understand all of it) and i am in awe, thank you so much for making this, i don't think anyone can do the explanation as informative but also not boring??? A lot of lore vids i watch are more on just summarizing the content released and not actually explain it so thank you!! Also, the last part about the message made me tear up a bit, i can't explainwhy cause i think it's a mix of emotions but yeah, i love these boys so much

[@chiliciouss]

aahh thanks so much for this video! im gonna enjoy watching this now while waiting for the new album to arrive... i joined the fandom only a few months ago and ive been super curious about all the lore!! ive watched your previous videos so im happy youre covering their story again! it really helped me understand and appreciate their already amazing mvs even more😭 thanks for your hard work and have a nice day with their new album!! edit: omg the picture book looks sooo beautiful 😭😭 its a shame its not on sale anymore😭😭

Thank you so much for this video!! but i just wanted to point out how beomgyu's true name and the pandoras box is linked to the morse code from their debut videos, where beomgyu's morse code is hope. But you probably already know 😅.

[@skrrskrr8299]

This vid is so underrated❤

[@sinkinnie]

magic island is what the outdoor area of lotte world is called (where the castle and stuff is?) if i'm remembering right, i'm pretty sure the "opening on magic island" is referring to in that section. i could be wrong cause i haven't fact checked this, i was just there on holiday a few months ago!

[@LainaSunflower]

If so that’s good to know! I’ve never been there so I only have what people share on the internet 😂😂

[@nakamotorskrskrvroom8038]

ty for this videoo

[@evahane6713]

Regarding of why the magic comes to their world - it wasn't exactly explained but I think that the man from the snowy land said something along the lines that magic came into their world along with the black hole - so it could be one of the signs apocalypse is coming (or maybe... dragon's test if the world is worth saving by giving people more power and checking what they use it for)

[@LainaSunflower]

Yeah I guess it just comes along with the apocalypse … it just gets confusing when you have the older versions of them who had a lot of time to get good at magic in some cases ..? I like the idea it’s part of the dragons test though! I feel like that could be related 👀

[@evahane6713]

@@LainaSunflower It could be, just a speculation, that the worlds get corrupted faster? It could also be related to idk stuff like how long ppl live in particular worlds because I feel like in some of universes they've visited, when ones lived along with gods etc, the lifespan was few hundred years. So the timing of "magic" starting spans from the Boys of Destiny being kids to reaching full adulthood?

[@Chaefimmie]

Good job 🥰 your a lifesaver for moas like me who don’t understand lore at all🤣

[@soyaliovee]

New MOA (literally 2 weeks old) and this is really helpful, also, I can’t really form a theory yet with all of these but have a lot of alternate plot ideas for this storyline omg, I’m the type to always be interested in creative storytelling so this is a blast, I’m glad I’m not late, the story of the boys is still unfolding and will unfold their story slowly. I’m on for a ride!

[@yes_ittxt7722]

I literally love you I hope you know that. It's been 3 years since I've been following you soon to be 4

AHHHH YOU'RE BACK LAINA I LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS

I'm watching this after seeing Chasing that feeling mv and thinking the music video looks a lot like Doctor Strange, which relates to the whole multiverse idea I think.

[@LainaSunflower]

im so glad you got more out of it!! ;u; thank you for watching!

[@belorevideos]

Hi! So I was coming here cause I don't follow the TXT story and I find it important to know and understand it for my own theories for &Team and Enhypen. I would like to say that as someone who has been studying each of the groups lore and MVs, that I do feel like the HYBE universe still exists. The 'Magic Island' you mentioned I believe is the carnival in Enhypen's own story, hence why the amusement park for Dark Moon was called magic island. You even mentioned it being an amusement park in TXT's webtoon. This carnival I felt also made an appearance in &Team's debut MV (though I do believe they'll also have their own name for it). Kind of like it said in the webtoon, magic island appears differently for everyone. If you separate the webtoon story from the MV story especially, you can notice these connections even more and kind of follow another story I feel so I do try to do that when I watch &Team and Enhypen MVs. HYBE also uses certain elements that reflect the same in each universe or that connect as well, like the elements of time. All this to say, as a fan of these connections, don't give up on the HYBE universe! I do feel like it's still very much a thing, especially looking at the bigger picture. Thanks for the video!

[@fcyj13]

to add onto your point during 14:00 (WHICH IS THE SPOILER SECTION SO DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE SPOILED) in the webtoon, DK mentioned that he was one of the boys of destiny in his universe, which was eventually demolished by the dragon. so yeah he probably went to another universe using time slip

[@Bluemoonxstar]

that's news 29:55 for me

[@elenagelmo6523]

in my opinion there are basically three universes: that of stardust, that of nap of a star and that of star seekers. Then in the MVs most of them are metaphors. Or in the other universes there are the consequences of the first two

[@ameliam2977]

YESSS

would you say that the magic island/ttukseom park stuff is similar to how the upside down and stranger things works? sorry i’m still having trouble conceptualizing it😅

[@LainaSunflower]

yeah i think so! that would be pretty close to my understanding of it! (I've only seen the first season of stranger things and random scenes from other seasons though...!)

[@geoqvii]

(theary) So in the recent album - FREEFALL, everyones clothes are on backwards except for Hyuka, dosent it kinda give a meaning that Kai is the only member who made it to reality/the next verse and the rest of the members are still in the previous verse? Mabye Hyuka is imagining the rest of the members? OR mabye Taehyun is aware that they didnt make it to the next verse but Hyuka.. so Taehyun made an illusion on Kai so he makes him think hes not alone??

18:35 the dragon sect has excess black water because it rains/snows black water where they reside (i forgot its name, basically the huge castle ish place in london where the boys stayed)

[@mochaxloca1563]

this video was very helpful, but i am still confused on a lot of things. do you think you could make a video telling the story from start to finish? because all these timelines and universes are confusing me. i am always confused on what took place when and how the music videos tie into the webtoon. i also get confused about how everything started. Because i thought they were idols who gained their powers, but i keep hearing people talk about how it got started from the d&d type game. I am so confused, pls help me. This vid helped me with the details of the lore but i only know bits and pieces of the full story/lore, and i cant find any vids telling the story/lore from start to finish.

[@mochaxloca1563]

i was also wondering is the txt lore based off the webtoon or is the webtoon only one of the places to go to figure out more about the lore?

[@y0r309]

Ok wait I have a Theory about the Butterflies. What if they dont want to lead TXT to the Island...What if they want to lead them to freedom. I mean, as example maybe they made that loud noise and kept annoying beomgyu (in the sugar rush ride mv) to warn them that they should leave because they were to distracted with everything else on that Island. I mean you can see in Sugar rush ride mv that at first everything is great but it then turn into hell. So maybe they wanted to warn them that this isnt a good Island as they thought. Idk if this makes sense but it somehow does to me

[@LainaSunflower]

Oooh I love this take! Like they were ringing to say “hey wait a second!” And stop them from staying and having lots of fun.

Lmaooo it took me 3-4 hours to complete this video because I kept falling asleep 😭

HI could you explain the Magic island part again? don't understand it..

[@LainaSunflower]

Which part confuses you?

[@ju7972]

A little late to the video ("""little""""" 10 days lol) but always here 🤓

[@munaewas5525]

After the minisode 3: Tomorrow concept trailer, i was thinking what if all these dimensions exist because they are the 'Little Prince'. In the book i think the little prince said he can go through dimensions. in the concept trailer we see that they are the little prince with the crown and the link to the fox and everything. This means every album setting they are in is a dimension they go through because of their ability. Thats just what ive bee thinking so its probably wrong anyway Also i just remebered that there might be a link between the rose in the thursdays child album and the rose in the little prince. The rose might signify moa because in the little prince the rose is something that the prince loved and the rose also loved the prince in a way no one else would be able to. in the mama awards beomgyu burns the flower which might represent him distancing himself from moa for thinking that they betrayed the boys and maybe in the mv story because they called the police.

[@FrostCHNOS]

You roll dice like Ally Beardsley

[@LainaSunflower]

Ngl that is a compliment LOL

[@fiorellafrancione]

I’m here because i saw that ILLIT (hybe’s new gg!) is releasing their first album and it had a drawing of a cat with one green and one blue eye on the outbox, so I think their lore has to be connected! We will find out when they debut next month 😊

[@fiorellafrancione]

(+ they’re doing an arcade concept and a lot of people are saying it reminds them of txt’s debut) honestly im very curious to see if their lores are connected, I was expecting their lore to be connected to ENHYPEN since they’re both under BELIFT !

[@LainaSunflower]

Wait I didn’t see the cat on the box omg?! That’s amazing!! I just looked and can’t find it - which version??

[@Only.dwaekki284]

Die Katze hat ja so meistens Blau Grüne Augen Manchmal aber Orange, Lila... Bei Chasing that feeling hat jeder eine Farbe bekommen Vielleicht bedeutet das was Und bei frost steht auf den Karten die sie bekommen "The Star seeker" und ein Member auf der Rückseite Man sieht Taehyuns Karte und es sieht aus als wenn Yeonjun drauf wäre So vielleicht müssen die irgendwie die anderen suchen oder retten oder was weiß ich

[@AsminDong-rx6kl]

Does the webtoon explain everything about txt lore???

[@LainaSunflower]

Yes and no - yes in that it’s full story, but no in the sense that there are still going to be images you might not understand in txt’s media. It does help answer a lot of the main questions and shows the sort of narrative they’re trying to tell, and so if you like webtoons it’s worth reading through to further enjoy txt’s stuff! I do try to avoid as many direct spoilers as possible so that people can still read through it!

i'm not sure, the webnovel is completed and the webtoon is supposed to 'end' soon - but i don't know... i think it might be a new story or a new chapter of life? i also am not actually sure how the webnovel will end in just a couple chapters - i feel like it would be rushed if that were the case, but we'll have to see.

[@SOOBINJskjsijij]

@@LainaSunflower that makes sense.. thanks!

[@mx1ka_t1]

If the cat is the personification of evil and GREED and is "the devil" isn't it basically Mammon? Since Mammon is described as a "seductive god of riches" maybe that ties to the fact that it wants them to "give in" and also the general idea that the devil is seductive

[@mx1ka_t1]

But mammon is associated with wolves, not cats which is weird
