My apologies to 승준 for romanizing his name in the way he doesn't prefer!

hi! UA-cam recommended me this randomly and I was shocked to see a comprehensive lore analysis video that isn't from a KFuse hahaha. I had fun watching :) a popular theory I've seen for the building at the end of Popping is it's an archive--aka the Storage of ONF. as for the note Minkyun opens in the Beautiful Shadow story film, the most popular guess I've seen (since it's so blurry) is "내가 아는 네가 아닌 것 같아" which can be translated like "I don't think (you're) the you I know" so make of that what you will.
btw, not sure if you know but Seungjun (not Seungjoon--I promise I'm not being pedantic, he's just corrected the misspelling himself before haha) and Minkyun no longer use stage names as of January 1st and just use their real names!

[@SusiLarew]

Thanks for the possible translation! I did know they stopped using their stage names this year. But they've been J-Us and MK for so long and just made the change recently that people still recognize them by the old names.
Also, my apologies to 승준 for romanizing his name in the way he doesn't prefer. I just find that using "oo" for ㅜ helps English speakers understand the pronunciation immediately instead of wondering which "u" sound ㅜ is supposed to be. Though, by that line of thought, I should be spelling Minkyun differently, too, lol... Anyway, thanks for the notes!!

I have tried to write a video script on their lore for over a year but have given up so many times because I got lost in my own notes lmao, I'm making some popcorn and sitting through all of this!

[@SusiLarew]

I hope my thoughts help, but I might be just as lost as you are!!

I really think that the asteroids are actually the energy that comes out from the pandora box when it's open. That's why the WHY MV comes before COMPLETE. I think the trains represents that they travel in time in that same reallity (having different universes, but in all of them, time is a line), so while they are having fun in complete till the asteroids come, there are other versions of them doing everything we see in why

[@SusiLarew]

I've never considered the idea that they caused the asteroids by opening Pandora's Box!

[@deannaturley9443]

they have so few MVs but so many mini albums?!

[@SusiLarew]

There are more MVs, but they didn't make it in here, like Moscow Moscow, Trip Advisor, and their self directed videos, because they weren't lore related.
