A very bored Orbit named Kat. Disclaimer: everything I say could be wrong, it usually is. I am not really up-to-date with popular theories so sorry if these have been said multiple times.
The LED signs. Yves are in Cantonese while Kim Lipâs are in Korean.
Leaving an item behind to dance/ call out the other members
Before finding eachother, the world is black and white
But after finding eachother, the world goes red
And is restored
So what separated them?
OEC - This is their first time meeting. When Kim Lip first seeâs Cheorry, she goes through this montage in her head. She has never seen this girl before but knows they are connected through a feeling she gets. This is further proven by Jinsoul getting her eye checked. She doesnât know itâs powerful, she just thinks something is wrong with it.
YYXY - After falling from Eden, they all choose their directions. Gowon goes to Iceland to see Haseul, Olivia goes to Paris (to meet Heejin?) , and Chuu follows Yves to Hong Kong (to meet Vivi?).
I am sorry if this is too strong but I feel like it should be talked about.
(TW: Suicide)
The first thing that is shown in EILY is ViViâs broken case. We are given a hint into how she feels.
After a handsome guy enters the roller rink she works at, she imagines this whole scene of him and bunch of other girls having fun. This is all in her mind, this is what she desires. She wants friends, she wants a boyfriend. Sheâs an android. âWho could love something like that?â She thinks.
At the end of her shift she somberly packs up and leaves her phone behind on purpose.
In Love&Live, ViVi is seen feeling left out from the group. These were the girls in her imagination. She dreams of having amazing times with them but barely talks or even tries to join in. She starts by pushing them away more and more.
She watches them from a window. She just wants to be like them. âWhy do I have to be like this? Why canât I just be a normal girl?â she thinks.
Heejin walks by but doesnât speak to her. Sheâs noticed ViVi is acting strange. She doesnât have the courage to ask if she is okay.
ViVi eventually unplugs herself and runs. Winding up in middle of some neighborhood. Her batteries have drained. No one can help her. She pushed away her friends. She just wanted to die.
Her story still does not end here. She didnât want to be saved but Yves will eventually help her.
Loona 1/3 all go to the same school and meet there and become friends.
One school vacation, Heejin gets a job as a maid:
When her boss leaves, she takes a nap and ends up in Wonderland:
She starts exploring the Wonderland and learns about all the different realities in this one universe. She also picks which color will be hers. (Pink is also the color of ViViâs hair and light pink is ViViâs color):
She wakes up and finishes cleaning before her boss gets home:
Later in the year, they get back to school and things are about as normal as they usually are:
But Heejin canât stop thinking about what she saw. As I said before, I really think ViVi has more power than just being good at sports. Heejin knows about this and thinks ViVi would be the one to talk to:
After this, Iâm not sure. Heejin might have hesitated or waited too long or maybe Heejin and ViVi became close. Either way, ViVi still unplugs herself and runs away.Â
ViVi is seen standing in front of a gate. There is something blocking her from being with the rest of the girls.
She watches them longingly before going to charge herself
It doesnât seem like they are ostracizing her but they also arenât talking to her. In both instances, they invite her along but she doesnât say or do much. She knows sheâs different and doesnât belong.Â
ViVi opens her locker and stores another juice box into the mountain she hides. This is not the first time the rest have invited her out. It is clear they have tried many times but ViVi is still having trouble opening up. She wants to belong so much, she never denies their requests to hang out.
She disconnects her charging device and runs. The 5 minutes run out when she reaches a neighborhood. She is running away from what has been tying her down. Maybe she even has a destination.Â
Second and final instance - YYXYâ˛s love4eva
The first shots of this MV depicts a separation between Olivia and the other three.
Olivia is left out of their plans to escape Eden. The others think she is too good to God. If they tell her, she might tell God.
Even just entering the room, the girls stop talking and stare at her.Â
In the end, the three escape. Olivia is left on her own to find her way out.Â
SoâŚwhat does this mean?
ViVi: She does not accept her difference. She has tried for so long but she cannot do it anymore. I donât want to say she just gives up. I honestly think she was trying to get somewhere, Iâll talk about her destination in another post.
Olivia: She accepts her difference. She didnât bud into the conversations, she didnât talk to Yves, she didnât try to sneak off with them. She knows she isnât the same, maybe she even has more power than the others. We are not told her story as to why God favors her. In the end, she decides to just escape on her own.
The two may have a connection. They are both shown as being separate from the rest of the group; wanting to fit in but just watching from the outside. It seems a little too easy to say âViVi was left out because sheâs an android!â Due to her glowing eye, I feel like she has more powers beyond playing sports well. Olivia and ViVi might even be the two most powerful beings in the universe, thus scaring the others off. Â
My 4+ years of golf experience has finally come in handy
First instance - Heejinâs ViViD
At 0:17 we can see the woman who hired Heejin owns a golf bag with a full set of clubs.Â
Heejin reaches in to pull out a club.
The clubâs number is not present but it looks a lot like a sand wedge.Â
She hits a yellow ball lightly and we follow it to a pile of others.
The ball rolls to Heejinâs feet and we are later shown the three lights lighting up from blue to red. Heejin is not present.
Second instance - Yvesâ New
Golf is not shown again until Yves aims to hit the pile of stuffed animals with a golf club.
Instead of hitting a big pile of stuffed animals, the club makes contact with an apple and it bursts into pieces.
We later see the club make contact with the stuffed animals.
Iâd rate her stance as a 0.5/10 (but because I love her 11/10)
The club is the same one Heejin used.
She swings back to hit the cygnet (baby swan, the swan is Yvesâ animal) but we are shown another angle of her hitting the stuffed animals
Third and final instance - Chuuâs Heart Attack
Chuu is watching Yves hit the cygnet
Chuu proceeds to do the same with a penguin (Chuuâs animal) with the same club
Well....sheâs still on two feet! 11/10
So...what does this mean?
Just kicking the ball and stuffed animals or throwing them would not have an item to connect these three. Hitting them with another item, like a bat, would be too difficult if they didnât play such a sport. A golf club is best for striking an item to make it go from point A to point B.Â
Like I said, the three are using the same golf club. Maybe itâs the most popular set at Dicks and Iâm missing out. Although, thatâs probably not what it is.Â
Heejin: She got her golf club from her boss. She used it to hit a yellow ball which led to a stack of yellow balls. Hyunjin (girl 2) has the official color of yellow. Heejin is trying to contact Hyunjin and has tried multiple times.
Yves: It is unknown where the club came from. Maybe Yves hired Heejin and the set is her own. Maybe Yves has a key to Wonderland therefore the home. However she got her hands on it, she uses it to tell her story of rebellion. Rebelling by hitting the stuffed version of animals they were assigned, by hitting her own stuffed animal, by hitting the apple she was told not to bite into.
Chuu: It is also unknown where she got the club from. She could have just stolen it from Yves. They are all living together in love4eva, borrowing a club might not be that hard. Maybe she also has a key to Wonderland or she borrowed it from Yves. Chuu is using the club to show more admiration for Yves. It is showcased in almost anyway possible.
I was really hoping I could see the clubâs number and it would open some more doors haha. I hope this helps someone!
Someone, probably Heejin, turns to look at the camera as the first Loona title plays out
Her name in front of a grey-scale dining room. The clock either says 10:10 or 2:50. The painting on the wall is the first instance of her animal, a rabbit.
The title of the song in front of a rabbit that is in front of the couch
Grey-scale bathroom. It is clear we are being introduced to the placeâs layout.
Heejin opens her right eye
Our first clear shot of Heejinâs face
A woman dressed in mostly black and white says âI would like you to clean. The tools are thereâ in French and âClean while I am away. The cleaning tools are thereâ in Korean. The woman points to a vacuum on her left with her right hand.
The same shot from earlier but in color
A shot of Heejin from behind but sheâs turning away from us
She dusts off a little but gives up and falls asleep on the couch
She awakes to find a small, white rabbit on the floor. Iâll call this state âWonderlandâ
After she picks it up, the dining room painting turns into just one rabbit
6 rabbits in total, 1 in the center
7 rabbits in total. The painting in the room is now blank. The clock still either says 10:10 or 2:50. The second clock, the one closest to Heejin, is too far away to see.
Heejinâs head turns to the right as a rainbow light covers the left side of her face
She enters the bathroom that is now covered with hanging bottles and plastic bags. This wonderland has windows to every reality.
The camera focuses on the right side of her face.Â
The rainbow light covers her right eye now. She is now aware of the realities.Â
She takes out a club and yellow golf ball. The club is an iron 3 through 9, sand wedge, or pitching wedge. It looks more like a sand wedge to me so the club number may not matter.
It rolls to a white-tiled room with a stack of yellow golf balls and 3 blue lights, all are turned off
Later on, each blue light turns red starting from the left.
Looking behind herself again
A red spider covers her eye as she sleeps. Something was blocking her from seeing the realities.Â
The clock on her right say 2:21. The glare is too strong to see the last number but it can be seen later on.
The bag behind her has its left eye closed and right eye open.Â
Wonderlandâs colors blend together
A pink bottle catches her eye. Pink is Heejinâs official color.
The blended colors return to normal as she wakes up in another world. Possibly the one she was in at the beginning.Â
This is the last shot we see. Sheâs looking at something through the doorway. The directors could have just ended it when sheâs waking up but this ending makes everything more interesting. This white hallway is where we see her turn around the most. The version that keeps turning around is in a dark dress. Maybe sheâs watching that version leave so she can now see the colors the universe has. Maybe itâs just her noticing the woman who hired her is home.Â
So that is it for now! Thank you for reading! I hope this helps someone. For the most part, it helped me get all my thoughts together.
