hello~

as promised, today I'm posting some of the theories related to skz lore

another achtung, this is my opinion and just assumptions based on information from different sources :з

and sorry for the mistakes <3

At the moment this is the last part of my thoughts about the new trailer. Well, at least those that I was able to put together into something unified and understandable. This time, finally, let's talk about the lore of the skz, about their "personalities" and what I suppose all this could mean for the continuation of the story.

So, we have already discussed what is shown in individual scenes and talked about references to albums. And, again, despite the fact that I have determined each of them as specific album, I cannot deny references to their other clips and comebacks. I also noted them in the first post with theories. But what does this mean for the history of the skz? There have been suggestions that this is a restart of their universe. I saw an interesting theory that this comeback is for fixing of past mistakes. And you know, these theories are INCREDIBLY interesting. Anyways I really think that this is still not a restart, but a continuation of the story.

So, what is the essence of the story, and what exactly are we continuing. Probably, you all have different knowledge of the lore of the band, as, in fact, I do, because for the most part these are all theories that have not been officially confirmed. Of course, we have all sorts of trailers like exclusive jype videos (well, like a prequel, etc.) and making film videos, thanks to which, thank God, we can find out at least some details. (As an example, a movie club drama, if there weren't making film, we wouldn't know that Seungmin and Jeongin had a fight, and Han was the cause of the accident with Lee Know, but we got distracted), but still most of the story remains for self-understending.

Crawling through YouTube, tumbler and tweeter, I came across a theory about time substitution (I didn't remember the word to describe it, if there is someone who can let me know, I will be glad ~). The theory was that the events shown in Maxident occur before the events shown in Oddinary. At the end of the Maxident, we see a kind of crime scene in which there are references to the scenes of the boys in the trailer. However, only to six. Who do you think is missing? Exactly, Felix and Jeongin.

To begin with, there are few arguments in favor of the fact that these two eras took place in the same universe.

Changbin's hand, in Oddinary he was the one who held a sign with the inscription "Free Hugs".

Of course, EVERYONE was talking about Hyunjin's apple (and if not, then yes).

Minho plays with a car toy and knocks down tin cans, the same he hits with a golf stick in Oddinary, almost blowing off the head of Lix.

Seungmin takes pictures with a bear in Maxident, in Oddinary he is a photographer, hands Felix a cake with his child's photo (children love soft toys and ride bicycles).

In the trailer itself there are spoilers to the Maxident: the time on the electronic clock is 14:03, on the mechanical 10:07 (the release date of the case).

But if we return to the theory that these events occur after, then this is not a spoiler, but a flashback or a hint. Something happened in Maxident that caused the skz to be replaced by their "evil" copies or personalities. (Honestly, there are so many different opinions about clones, but let's be honest, the only escaped clone we've seen is Jeongin. Yes, there were others in the Astronaut, but they remained in that world and did not even react to Hyunjin who came to them. In addition, I am more inclined to believe that these were not clones at all, but still their personalities from another world. And the only clone is, again, Iennie, who appeared back in the era of I am not music in the trailer). Let's return to the substitution for "evil" personalities. Do you remember "Felix never bad"? He is the only one who was not affected by what happened in Maxident (and even if we do not know what is this, it could be some kind of consequences of the battle with the Sound Monster from Noeasy. By the way, who was this monster? What if Lix from another universe, because the force with which "our" Felix repelled the attack is extremely similar to the attack itself... That could explain, why it didn't work on him). A little adjustment, the only one of the "real" skz. The second, whose traces are not at the crime scene, is Jeongin, the presumable culprit of what happened to the boys.

In Oddinary's trailers, we see Felix walking around looking for his friends.

He holds the lock in his hands all the time and constantly opens and closes it. It seems to me that the lock symbolizes their's era of that time. Before that, they had "Cle" = keys, finished it and got into a new world, they opened all the locks, each with their own key (there was also a long way, loss of keys, etc. but in the end, probably, they were all found and found their locks). And this gesture of opening and closing is a kind of sign that Felix no longer knows in which world he should look for friends. In the present, they are missing, and perhaps he is talking about going back and looking for them there. But, fortunately or unfortunately, he finds Oddinary, in which he meets the "evil" entities of his friends. Here we return again to the importance of color theory in lore. In Thunderous, we were shown that evil is red, and good (aka skz) is blue. And if you look, you will notice that Felix in Oddinary is represented in blue tones, while the rest of the guys are in red, which indicates their evil nature now. And, again, everyone except Jeongin. He is in the trailer in blue tones, the scene turns red when he enters the "territory" of Seungmin. It turns out that he did not change his character, he is "himself". Or rather, his probably evil copy initially. The others have lost their memories of their real selves, but not Jeongin, because he is already an "evil double", so his colors are different from the others.

At the end of the trailer, Hyunjin pushes Felix and he joins the "evil" personalities, becoming the same. In the new trailer for "5 star", he is the most inadequate, crazy Joker, "conductor", because he directs the group in the right direction (is it really right? quite possibly).

At the end of Oddinary's trailer, the lock, which I assume is a way of moving through the worlds, breaks, which entails the destruction of the boundary between the worlds. Therefore, in the new trailer, all past comebacks are represented by references, so the personalities of romantics and villains are mixed, which is why it is so chaotic and ambiguous. The worlds that were previously beyond a clear boundary are now mixed up, mixing the personalities of the boys. At the end of the 5-star trailer, they walk along the side of the building, buildings located perpendicular to the screen are visible in the distance. Either this is a new world formed because of everything that happened, or it is a "chaos" born because of the erased boundary between the former "lower" and "upper" worlds. And, perhaps, they will in some sense encounter their other personalities.

Thus, in a sense, they now really have the opportunity to "fix" those mistakes that they made on the way. Perhaps this is what Felix wanted, if it really happens in the end? And maybe they'll finally find the real I.N and bring him back to the family? BANG CHAN YOU'VE LOST YOUR BABY HELLO!

Thats all for now~

Maybe i will post some details about Felix as a possible Sound monster c:

I love this unveil so much 🥹

Honestly, I needed it so much. I didn't know about it, but now I do. It was like I breathed and was able to open my eyes again. the track hasn't been released yet, but even just because of unveil, I feel so warm...

in fact, skz are the ones who brought back feelings in me. actually, until I dived into them, I didn't even know that I was drowning in the routine of boring everyday life. it seemed to me that my world was wonderful and bright. but the truth is that I was stuck in those illusions, believing that I was so strong and could handle everything.

to tell the truth, I probably will never be able to write something like this somewhere where people close to me can see it. after all, I am always strong, cheerful, bright... I can't let them know that in fact, I'm as gray as the boring life around me. and all I do is desperately try to color at least my closest...

but skz... I joined the fandom at the end of January this year, and I felt like I finally could breathe freely after a long time. I haven't felt so inspired in a long time. Chan said they would come into our lives when we need them. At first, I resisted, saying that everything was fine in my life anyway, it just got a little better now with skz. but I tried to lie to myself, convincing myself that the life that I had been building for so long and was now trying with all my might to keep from destruction was actually just an illusion, too. I clutched at the remnants of once happy memories, convincing myself that everything will get better, I just have to wait. but it won't.

and when yutiful came out today... I breathed again, and finally, for a long time, I was actually able to see the stars. after all, they are all around us, so close. there is a whole world around, and there are so many incredible things in it. I have found my long-lost dreamy and strong self again. I'm still here. and thanks skz, I remembered about it. I just want to say thank you. it's too precious.

hello hello~

I came to you again with a minute of theories abot the trailer.

At the begining, achtung! these are just mine assumptions that based on what I saw and read on the Internet, as well as what I myself noticed in clips and various skiz content.

And one more time the reminder: there are mistakes in text since English is not my native, im sorry

So, for the last time, I assumed to discard a bunch of references to all sorts of Skz videos and assign an album to each member. This time I will try to reveal my thoughts about what happens in the scenes with the guys.

To be honest, I don’t have thoughts and answers about everyone, but I’ll tell you what I guessed .D

🌟Firstly, I want to note that it seems to me that, in addition to references to albums, references to some films are hidden inside the scenes.

🍞 About Innie, I have no thoughts at all. Okay, there are a few, but they are so incoherent and uninformative that I don’t even want to talk about them ... (to be honest, this character inside the lore of skz literally drives me crazy, I have too many questions and almost no answers ... )

🐰🐷 I don’t know what with Changbin either, the only thing is that we see how he is such a cute cutie trying to call someone, after a failure he gets mad and starts to destroy everything. I have a feeling that somewhere I saw something like that, I just can’t remember where, I can’t :c

🦦 Hyunjin, as mentioned in previous post, is similar in his scene and setting to Kingsman, I honestly didn’t watch this movie, but asked around, and no one could give me answers about what was happening could mean. However, referring directly to this "happening"... at first I thought that Hyunjin crossed out the star (yes, it seemed to me that it was a star, not a flower on the jacket, bc there are five ends, as it seemed to me then), and there are 5 stars now. Then I read here and there, and someone wrote that this is the Innie's birth's flower ... perhaps it is (I'm not strong in this), and Jinnie seems to finish painting the 5th petal for him (here I already considered that there are 4 petals and 1 pistil xd). After he says these numbers: 644. Everyone has already written that this is an angel number and so on. In addition, I saw a bunch of "analyzes" of the number, what it is about money, that those you support will start sitting on your neck, etc. I don’t know how much we can believe this... although about “concentration on one’s feelings” or something that was in those theories, it may be similar. Hyunjin is quite sensual, yes... ahem, but in general, what can be interesting is 644: 6+4+4=14 1+4=5, we have 5 stars here, after all. And one more thing I thought about. Do you remember that I consider Hyunjin to be the "personification" of the maxident? And the title is case 143, 143=I love you. Communication with numbers. What if some words are hidden here too? Flower - 6 letters, stay/star/five - 4 letters. flower five star? Maybe you can find some other words?.D

Upd: i don't know why we didn't do it earlier BUT! With help of my friend we found out sthat if u will count with this "644" numbers letters in the korean alphabet u will get "별", which means 'star'~

🐿 Han... ohh well, it's time for completely crazy theories uhhhh. What do we see in the picture? Some kind of train-plane flying in the clouds. I thought of Laputa Castle in the Sky. After all, Han loves Howl, loves anime, Laputa is also from studio gibli. In the sound, in Han's last part, he mentions "Laputa". The plot of the anime was that there was this floating island with untold riches. But in order to get there, a special stone was needed, its keeper was main character, and the pirates tried to steal it. In the trailer, the guys introduce themselves as they play in the i'm ground. And Han says "isn't that right? Then I won't do it" maybe this train is his idea that Jisung himself is a guide to the world of clouds, no "pirates" (or haters) will get there without a stone, but he is capable to achieve all this on his own? (Therefore, it is important that All in is a Japanese comeback, a reference, presumably, to a Japanese anime, well, Han's love for him x))

🐶 I don't know what to say about Seungmin... I can't even imagine what kind of movie it could be... however, it is some kind of point in favor of the theory about films in general. He sits in a bucket full of POPCORN (First Felix said he ate candy, then Seungmin said he ate popcorn while filming... hard life for idols xddd). And he shows us a ticket to the cinema (sort of, if I read it right). Many assumed that these was the same tickets that were in the trailers and clips of past eras, but I do not think so. There were "one-way tickets to the new world", here is another ticket. They refused those tickets because they turned out to be a trap, and skz went their own way.

🐣 I mentioned Felix - Joker... just Joker ahah, ready to read your thoughts~

🐺 Bang Chan... uh, here my theory of connection with the Japanese album sounds dubious and far-fetched. At first, it seemed to me that Chan resembled Sub-Zero (I know that I am not the only one). I'm not strong in the lore of mortal kombat, so I went to read internet. Both Sub-Zero (this is a kind of title, not a name), being brothers, were born in the USA and were taken to China, belong to a Chinese organization. However, the developers said that the character was originally supposed to be named Ninja, and the whole story should be based on some book about how China influences Japanese ninjas. So there's a rather subtle connection to Japan... well, like Han, Chan loves anime in one way or another. But I also saw a theory about the similarity of Chan's vibe with the character of lol - Jhin, there are similar scenes in the video: playing the piano, concert hall, lighting... I also read his story, but there is also China (and the setting is more fantasy), not Japan... I also really liked the last lines of this character's bio, they are very suitable for the mood and meaning of the trailer: "It seems that all of Runeterra might be but a canvas for the atrocity that is Khada Jhin’s art, and only he knows where the next brushstroke will fall."

But still, my theory was movie references, according to MK there is a movie, but according to lol - no. Perhaps everything presented here is how Chan sees himself? Since the game is about introducing themselves, perhaps they themselves have described which films/animes/games they would like to be like or associated with? Therefore, it turned out to be a little chaos? (also Chan commented, that mask is just his own suggestion) So, there are a lot of thoughts, but the answers are not so... ahah xddd

🐰 And finally Minho. The first thing I thought of was Saw, but it's kind of too much for a k-pop band, I guess? I am not sure. It also reminds me a little of Parasite, this scene in the toilet ... here I would also love to read your thoughts .D

This time it's all I could guess, thank you for your attention~

Also i have the 3d part which is more connected to the lore story of skz. I will post it soon ~

[marcillfll]

I just posted my theory and tumblr just said:oh smth is wrong

WHATS WRONG??? WHY ARE U SO MEAN TO ME? :c

[marcillfll]

This is the second part :з here is the first

I remind you that here are some of my thoughts about recent skz trailer and this is the first try, where i tell you my thoughts about all this references in the video~

Let's continue c:

The fifth one is Seungmin 🐶

Did you see all this screenshots wich point at the similarity with God's menu (excavator), Levanter (ticket) or Cheese (parking)? But didn't you see how hee literally appeared with "bloodied" jeans carrying "body bag" (presumably with popcorn)???

I think he looks like maniac and that's why represents Oddinary album 🧟‍♂️

The sixth one is Felix 🐣

Actually he is the most difficult one to understand for me. There are also cars, which could remind of Cheese, lollipop, which reminds me of Circus a little bit. There is also a city and i saw some opinion that this is from Maniac. But we already have one who represents Oddinary, so i thought here should be something else. I even supposed that he can represents all albums shown here, bc in some skz theories he stands for a "compass" for members and he is someone like main character in trailers (we will talk about it also). Here also he starts this video, he finds that "I am ground" sheet etc.

But then I understood that he has smth like Joker vibes. Felix in trailer is insane, he looks like he doesn't fit the "normal" city. The city. City jungle. And that was a moment when I remember that in Miroh skz were the same. They didn't fit the whole system and tried to change it, but failed. All the sounds in his scene reminds me of noisy busy city.

Now we have Felix representing Miroh 🏙

Seventh one is our leader Chan 🐺

With Chan there are some screenshots wich refers to burning building in Freeze. But this is not the only building that was on fire in skz's mvs. So for me the main point is that Chan playing the piano and metronom. He played the drums in The Sound and there also was metronom, even the choreo was similar. And it also might be important that this is Japanese album.

I assume Chan represents The sound 🎶

And last but not the least Lee Know 🐰

We can see "superscanner" and scan frame like in the airport and the same scanners were on Maniac posters. Lee Know held the same scanner on poster, but without an inscription, the word "super" could also refer to Superboard and Maxident. But we are searching here for album for each member, sooo... what i can also notice, is that Minho looks like he trying to escape from somewhere and skz did the same when they debuted. They escaped District 9. And there were white and red colors in mv. Minho wears white clothes and red beret.

If we decide that Lee Know stands for District 9, then he represents I am not album 🚫

This literally returns us to the beginning: I am ground. I know the name of an album is 5☆, but... It could be connected. Maybe if i'll have more thoughts about that i will also write something ~

And one more thing. The reason why i think this is not just set of random references to previous mvs, but actually references to previous albums, is bc... They always have sense in their mvs and trailers. So what the meaning of references to previous mv's scenes? It could be, like they telling us that all they do is 5☆ or something like that, but i used to think they have deeper senses...

In trailer they literally destroy all their comebacks. This could mean that something grand is coming. Something that will outshine all previous albums **

Thats all that i wanted to tell this time. Once more I apologize for mistakes and i'm open to your new opinion and theories *^*

[marcillfll]

Soooo~

Hello to you if you come to read, dear~

At first i want to warn, that all i write here is only my thoughts and i could be wrong, so feel free to suggest yours too, if you want~ One more warning: my native language isn't English, so i apologize for any mistakes, hope that won't be too bad 🥲

I will divide it to two parts, this is the first c:

Let's start with something simple. And i want to start with new trailer .D

At first i wanna talk about references in it. I think a lot of you have already seen that screenshots with the similar scenes in previous mvs... and of course there are a lot of frames that looks alike.

But i think each member represents not only one or even several mvs, but much more they represents their previous albums😬

So the first one we see is I.N 🍞

I saw an opinion, that this scene reminds Chill mv from Maxident. It is, bc it is also museum. But for me it more looks like museum from Back door. The colors, in my view, are more similar to that mv. In new trailer there are more white, but if we remember, in back door were a lot of people in white clothes (District 9 residents). And now, when skz are more popular and have more Stays, the white color has enlarged.

Here screenshots of Chill and Back door. You can see, that Chill is more blue, but Back door has more red and yellow colors~

And now i can assume that I.N represents album IN生 (In Life) 👨‍🍳

Second one is Changbin 🐷🐰

With his identity all is much simplier. Though there are some references to Maxident with this dance with umbrella, his character looks like he is from Noeasy era. Really, he has similar bat, and also about romantic bgm... (my dear you finally got it!!!!♡) Do you remember how he was outraged of Hyunjin's bgm in Noeasy trailer and also the same scene in Christmas EveL~~

Thats why i think that Changbin represents Noeasy ⚡️

Third one is Hyunjin 🦦

Here almost all agree that this scene is looks similar to Maxident's Give me yor TMI. And i think so too. There are much more to say about this numbers 644 and the jacket. But we will speak about it next time~

So here one mo reference to Maxident is his brushstroke. He did the same back then (you don't even imagine how hard I've tried to make this only screenshot 😆)

Now let's assume Jinnie stands for Maxident 💌

Fourth one is Han 🐿

I wanna scream, why all that I see about his scene is remotely dissimilar scene from B Me, where guys have been watching the movie about themselves. Really, it was a big screen, but here is just a stand. My first thoughts were about All In and after some consideration i still think so. Also it's important, that this was Japanese album (i will tell about it also the next time).

Whats more about precisely All In. For me Han is a center of this mv. He opens and closes this video. He's a center at the beginning and also center in last dance break.

Thats the reasons why I think Han represents All In 💰

Hi~
