LORE THEORY‼️
I think yeonjun, taehyun & beomgyu are the only ones that escaped reality. You see the purple liquid? It appears in deja vu’s trailer through taegyu’s tears and in eternally mv when yeonjun died, and I think this is a symbolism of ‘resurrection’ into reality. ➡️
Yeonjun:
Throughout the whole storyline, he was always the one praying and crying over the loss of his friends. This should be quite self-explanatory of his early awareness of reality and the fact that he’s the first one to escape the ‘dream’.
He always looks up to the sky when he’s alone / praying, and by interpreting with the little prince, it can mean he’s looking up at the planets. In the little prince, the planets were often a negative environment that symbolised isolation from others.
Taegyu:
Now this duo has quite some special connection. We often see them together synchronised such as in the concept trailer and mv. If u know the mafia game, think of them as the witch or doctor, supporting characters that help the main character - in this case yeonjun.
Soobin:
Honestly i have no idea what’s happening with him, but my strongest guess is that he is still stuck in the ‘dream’ and the last one to escape. He may have an extremely strong attactment towards the fox, preventing him from wanting to leave.
Huening:
He is DEFINITELY still stuck in the ‘dream’, but I have a strong feeling he’s the next one to escape - saved by yeonjun. Deja vu mv displays several scenes of yeonjun trying to warn kai about something.
These 2 are honestly so suspicious cause don’t you find it weird that they are back to back in this promise photo? And the fact that they don’t pinky promise each other’s fingers…
which suggests that he’s the narrator of this whole lore, BUT it may be a negative role.
Through the heterochromia (different eye colours), inability to hear his voice and him dancing the other way, it’s like he’s trying to conceal the truth from the others AND the audience.
Beomgyu:
As a healer who can’t heal his own body, I have a feeling he’s injuring and hurting himself back into reality to save yeonjun from extreme(?) depression or before he loses hope in finding his friends. Beomgyu might already knew about the fake and fantasied ‘dream’ -
Here’s an example of his healer role. Yeonjun at first seems to have gotten into a motorcycle accident, but somehow he’s fine? And as the members approach him, beomgyu’s THE ONE to help him out, showcasing his power of healing.
and is desperately trying to escape (loser lover, gbgb bike scene) while having the idea of saving yeonjun too. He succeeds escaping in deja vu mv, but sustains lots of injuries.
Yeonjun could’ve been the first person to realise this, and is now warning others about it. This may also link to why he’s the one burning the rose here - to destroy it and help others escape.
HOWEVER, there are special planets that provided temporary comfort, such as the one where the little prince found the rose, he fell in love with the flower, but it then broke the boy’s heart by giving him harsh demands.
His eyepatch may also have some impact on why he hasn’t escaped yet. Since an eyepatch blocks one’s eye view, he may have been blinded by the attempts of others warning him, in which he’s finally realising it and making a move to figure out what’s happening.
I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the lore, but the crowns also seem to have matches. Taegyu both have short cardboard crowns, sookai having taller ones and yeonjun with a metallic one. This MAY show the duos of the lore and how yeonjun is a special character.
REMEMBER this is just MY theory on what i think the lore is on, and txt’s lore is basically a free interpretation for everyone to imagine on.
Tell me if you think this made sense though, I spent a lot of time thinking about it😭
Like and retweet appreciated!!🤍
Taehyun:
He’s the third person to have his senses back into reality. His ‘dying’ method is similar to yeonjun’s, involving flowers and the purple liquid. There’s actually an additional theory on taehyun -
