nu’est who you theories i
hi, it’s me again, and i have nothing else but bubbling excitement. so yes, here’s to more theories again, and some recap of the previous theories
if you wanted to read my previous theories, they’re all here: overall / overcome 1 & 2 / love paint / where you at 1 , 2 & 3
first off, i think it’s quite likely that they’re following the queen’s arc. the most damning giveaway is the crown on the little girl’s head as she stares into the the frosty glass/mirror. few things to note her: (1) snow and frost was the very first theme of q. is, including the end where the queen was found to be in what seemed like a ‘frozen’ state; (2) the round brooch like pattern made this look like the pocketwatch the boys had, a symbol of their knightship from q. is. as well; and (3) the whole mirror and glass parallel has been explored so thoroughly. in overcome, the queen was seen blocked behind a glass wall as she watched ren, and in where you at, ren was brought towards a mirror in the middle of no where.
i’ve explored the theory previously that glass mirrors are used as a portal or medium to move in between dimensions, and i think this is one of them as well. to add on to that, i think canvas, too, is another medium, which is why love paint and their concert footage also showed that.
next up, i’d also like to point out the cross dimensions.
reusing this table over here, i still think this works - and who you follows after where you at.
the reason why i never called the queen series a trilogy is because where you at left so many questions, and there never seemed to be a concluding statement, only that the ‘music video is a continuation of the queen storyline’.
the reason why i don’t believe it falls after love paint is also because minhyun had too much of a pivotal role in overcome, where it’s evident that he and the queen is close, perhaps even closer than other knights. besides the amount of screentime he had falling in the salt-snow (lol), minhyun had several personal scenes with the queen.
he was also the standing the closest to her in the knighting process, in which aron was the last to join the ranks.
now after where you at, the four boys are separated. it’s unknown how they are separated, but my guess is that the difference in time that they reached the staircase in overcome has brought them to different dimensions altogether, in time and space. minhyun, presumably the first to left, is now in an unknown location. the four boys who were roaming on their own, all were brought together in the different rooms. i’ve also spoken about the duo-dimensions of where you at here so i won’t repeat haha.
other than minhyun, ren also seemed to harbor much knowledge in the storyline (besides being the one with the most acting experience ahem). first, the scene where the queen was looking at him (overcome), to him being brought by the lady in red (where you at) and him retrieving the key in the pool to unlock the chest (love paint), will ren shed more light in this era too?
last but not least, in who you, it feels like they are revisiting the queen, or perhaps memories of the queen when she was a child. once again, they’re jumping in time and space, and whether the four boys will meet is to be seen.
i’m totally excited about the comeback and would love to explore more theories, so hmu if you wanna chat!! :D
