2 weeks ago Maniac starting appearing a lot on my tiktok fyp, I got interested cause the comments where always like "GFRIEND COMEBACK WHEN" so I wanted to know what the hype was about (I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO KPOP BEFORE, other than some viral hits here and there, but Kpop was 100% new to me). I searched "Gfriend" on youtube and I just COULDNT stop watching all of their videos, then encores, etc. I went down a rabbit hole from "I dont even know what kpop is about" to being a hardcore buddy in less than 2 weeks, and now I am here. I am just laughing and how I went from 0% to "Gfriendverse explained" in less than 2 weeks lmao.
I think based on what I can assume: 1. They have powers and I googled it so...😅 (basically strength, telekinesis, x-ray vision, time control, light control) that's what the article said. 2. Personally I think maybe they are like geneticallly modified humans? idk, maybe X-men vibes or the "We could be Heroes" MV from Alesso, I know it sounds random but makes sense. That's what I'm getting from all the chaotic cuteness + powers combo. No idea about the Unicorns, it's giving aesthetic choice 😂🦄 Also, they just escaped to the real world when she punched the wall, at least that's how I took it after processing it. It feels as if they are in a complex and they just used their powers to escape, even though they are asleep at the end...? It's giving also Divergent, in terms of the sleeping/awake kinda vibe. SPOILER (for anyone who hasn't watched it, the movie) There's a scene in the movie that they are being tested to see if they belong in their faction of choice post ceremony and Tris (main character) is injected with a serum of sorts that makes her fade into a fake reality full of risks since she picked Dauntless. For context, the people in that universe are trained to succeed in their factions of birth right or of choice, hence the ceremony when they turn 18 I believe. Each faction has a special serum (for what the movie shows) and it does different things for each group. In the case of Dauntless it transports you to situations where you are suppose to "normally" fear, only that because of the faction you're expected to not fear. Basicly the serums create illusions, so maybe ILLIT is doing something in the mix of all that. We shall see... 😅😂 I'm surprised about their webtoon, the motion logo for Summer Moon wasn't at the end of the MV before, so they must've added it later on. Love your vids, thank you for making them, you're a big help! ❤ Here's the link for the ILLIT article www.forbes.com/sites/jeffbenjamin/2024/03/31/illit-enter-k-pop-world-with-unprecedented-magnetic-debut-single/#:~:text=The%20accompanying%20music%20video%20for,and%20IROHA%20exhibits%20telekinetic%20abilities.
I'm writing a short story inspired by the txt storyline, and i'm once again looking at and listening to things about their story, and your videos are so (so) (so) good.
AHH thank you!! If I remember when I'm done with it, I definitely will!!<3 (also omg, btw, I love your videos, and your theories, and the way you explain and talk about lore and like.. everything) (ANYWAYS LOL<3)
16:41 the match box.. it’s in their new album. And in the pass the mic mv they dances infront of building named vasselsoft. Now the current upcoming album for webtoon, vesselsoft is somehow connected. I find these fascinating. Like did hybe plan their whole career before their debut?
What I find interesting is the idea that Hybe (BigHit at the time) will create a girl group with magical girl theme has been around since 2021. I think it was because of the art accompanied the PLUS auditions which gave Sailor Moon vibes. I remember fans thought it was for Lesserafim and when it wasn't them, they then thought it was for NewJeans. I remember fans seeing a Sailor Moon esque wand looking lightstick behind the scenes from one of the BGs and thought it was going to be Lesserafim's lightstick. I think Hybe has been working on this theme for years. I don't know if anyone remember all this too. You need to analyse Lucky Girl Syndrome too because Belift is putting out bread crumbs here and there for us fans to start to speculate and theorise about Summer Moon. From Lucky Girl Syndrome they get color codes like pink for Wonhee, orange for Moka, blue for Minju, purple for Yunah and yellow for Iroha. On that board in the MV it says lucky and unlucky but if you look closer you can see five moons on it. Belift has been teasing stars and moons 💫🌙 Magnetic choreography is taking inspiration from Sailor Moon's hand posture 🤟👈 On friday last week at Rakuten Girls Award 2024 Spring/Summer Collection did Minju and Moka performed in sailor collar. Belift keeps putting out bread crumbs for fans. We are getting closer to the unveil of Summer Moon. They are first going to Kcon Japan 2024 to perform at ZOZO Marine Stadium (hopefully they perform Midnight Fiction for the first time) on May 12. After that I think it will calm down for Illit in terms of promotion and events and Belift will start to put out details for Summer Moon. I believe it's coming out in June like TXT's The Star Seekers did in 2019. Both debuted in the month of March. TXT was supposed to make their first comeback in August with a studio album. But because of concerns with Soobin's eye and it affected other members their comeback got delayed to Oct. I think Illit will make a comeback in Aug linked to Summer Moon's magical girl theme with their first concept.
Maybe they have something similar to the webtoon "School Bus Graveyard" where the main friend group enters a different world at midnight and do "adventurous" stuff I also believe the unicorn has an important role
Yesss, Laina! Glad you had a chance to check it out and react to it! The MV was a lot of fun to try and pick at lore-wise haha Have you had a chance to come up with more theories or connections since your reaction to it? Also I like what you said about the cranes!! I didn't even think about that at all but it makes sense!
Unnie, I'm a moa engene. So, I have something that bother me in the enha storyline. If u see the mvs with enha wearing royal suits, all the others have similar coloured tops but solon wears black. Can u explain if it has to do something with the storyline. Also, moas, don't hate me for taking up enha here. It's just that I wasn't sure when I can ask this question in an enha reaction vid and it bothers me aloooot.😅
i saw the dark moon trailer and there is a girl and she is suha and sunghoon is protecting her from other fellow members and then in orange blood concept she burned a house and sunoo is with her and she is harming sunoo and other members are outside and crying so i think she knew that they all are the vampires but she seemed so villian to me at this point but still i dont think she is suha because SUHA IS KIM GARAM and we can see her in drunk dazed mv where she is the princess dropping blood from up and members are down but hybe kicked her now so its so confusing
Since garam left le sserafim due to the scandal, i think hybe replaced her. Also there are two girls i think 1. Sooha and 2. Selen (which is like the evil version of sooha). Idk i missed some part of the story, but in the sacrifice mv, the members took sunoo’s heart and wings and sacrificed for something because sunoo dis something wrong, and now sunoo is like trying to get revenge. But it’s still confusing. I NEED MORE EXPLANATION LOL 💀😂
Yeah! Thank you for your video! I have been waiting long, but I still have some questions : 1) what do unicorns mean in the scene with red colour yeonjun running ? 2) why taehyun covering soobin's eye 3) what is taehyun doing with the candle (at around 2:15) 4) why running reversed? The timing started literally at 3:04, the timing!!!! Can you have a little more explanation 🥺
Thanks for a fun reaction :D I really love all the references for "Deja Vu." It really is such a dramatic song, but it has a sweet ending <3 Did you catch TXT on NHK on Friday, btw? If not, you can still see them on the NHK+ website. No subs, though, so I'm working on making a version of the video that has them haha. I probably can't upload it to RU-vid, but let me know if you want a dropbox link.
Yes, you are right about this song, deja vu. It is a referencing to their earlier song because in their promotional video at the end, Hueningkai, say something like it, a bridge or connection to their earlier songs.😂😂😂❤❤❤ thanks for txt lore explanations thru the yrs.
I'm so very lost with the plot twist... was beomgyu the ghost figure all along? does it have anything to do with him being the only one without a girl in loser lover, like were their memories twisted that they imagined someone else while it was beomgyu in reality? beomgyu was also the only one attacked by the butterflies (aka resisting temptation? idk) in sugar rush ride. I basically re-watched all their mvs in hopes to find the answer but I've no idea if any of these bits are connected to each other. need theory vid asap 😭
If he’s MOA here this is a totally different universe entirely from the other ones since MOA is a confirmed separate character in TSS! I think it’s more likely he’s a beacon of Hope (his true name) and leads them out of the darkness.
Thank you for the reaction! I love all the Big hit story/lore for every group they have ! (txt beeing my favorite) I realy hope that the following stuf comming next will have story/lore too. Kiss from France ! (sorry for the mistakes...)
I don’t know if this was mentioned before but you know when in the outro cross the line they say: days like a flipped carnival, I think I know what that means. I did some research and found that a carnival symbolizes “a rite of passage from darkness to light, from winter to summer”, wouldn’t that mean that a flipped carnival is the opposite? That means it would be a passage from light to darkness. That does make sense because they were ones princes right? And now they are vampires. Again, I don’t know if it was ever mentioned and don’t know if it’s right
I always thought the red colored section of the music video was the floating star thing's perspective. Cause when Yeonjun was running I believe the floaty thing was on the same path but ahead.🤔
