#comeback theory

[thatonecasualfan]

Based on the Shadow comeback trailer (and well, the title Map of the Soul: 7), it feels like this album might be more raw and personal and emotional. Shadow seemed very raw to me, and I really felt the emotions he was trying to convey. Can’t wait for the album!

everyone is saying that the concepts remind them of circus themes, but i’m getting dolls/toys. they’re left in the closet until its “time to play” or whenever its convenient. they’re being put on pedestals; being watched at all times. kinda like our fav childhood toys. we idolize them to the point of them not being themselves. them being in the clear globes symbolize that they’re living in their own little worlds. isolated from everyone. physically and emotionally. from the outside everything looks so pretty and perfect, but living in a bubble can be damaging to oneself. being watched by the media all the time is hard on someones psyche. they have to be poised and perfect, like a doll, all the time. one wrong move and its over. the media sees all.

Hi! I just read your most recent theory about Love Yourself as well as all of your previous ones about HYYH and I found them so interesting! I am constantly mindblower by how smart ARMY is! Anyway, I was just wondering what your thoughts were on the girls and their symbolization. I don't think that this was addressed in your theory (maybe I missed it?), but I'd really like to hear what you think!

Hey! Thank you for your question.

You are right, we didn’t address the girls in our posts, so good that you ask!

I have seen a lot of theories, for example that the girls represent the other half of the pairs (so Kookie’s girl represents Yoongi and vice versa), or that they represent parts of themselves.

I personally think the latter one is the most plausible. I think that the girls represent the boys’ wishes, needs and also fears. Mainly their wish for companionship and their fear of being alone with their problems. And that they have to let them go to learn how to love themselves.

Tae’s girl represents his wish of being rescued and having someone by his side who takes care of him and who can see through his tough facade, since he saved the girl from possibly being caught by the shop owner, even though she looked like she didn’t want to be saved. He’s afraid of confronting his past and only starts to heal when he leaves the girl and faces the police on his own.

Joon’s girl would symbolize his need of looking over others and his wish to forget what he did to Tae. I think he feels like he failed Tae and is now trying to redeem himself by looking over the girl. He’s afraid of facing the damage he’s done, but he can only help Tae once he faced his guilt on his own, that’s why he didn’t pursue the girl anymore and left without talking to her.

Kookie’s girl represents his want for someone to stay by his side and help him forget about the trauma of the accident and his past, since Yoongi shut him out and the others weren’t there when he was in the hospital. There are theories that he lost his memories of the boys and I think that’s quite plausible. Maybe he wants to start a new life with the girl to avoid having to remember his past. But he can’t be happy without remembering, so he has to be alone first.

Yoongi’s girl represents his wish of someone sticking by his side, even though he tries to push them away. I think she also stands for his wish to be able to compose again. Yoongi has to overcome the feeling that he is the cause of his friend’s misery and allow himself to be with the people that mean a lot to him for him to be able to play the piano again.

Now, Jimin and Hobi are a little more difficult. Both of them are looking for someone to save them. Jimin thinks Hobi will save him and Hobi wishes for a motherly figure to rescue him. I think that’s the reason Jimin has no girl. Hobi is “his girl” and that’s also why he is envious of Hobi’s girl.

Hobi still wants to believe that his mother cared for him, even though she left him, but he has to let go of that to be able to heal. He has to face his trauma to realize that there are other people that really care for him.

With Jimin it’s similar. Even though we don’t actually know a whole lot about him. We know that he was in the same clinic as Hobi, so we can deduce that he is also mentally ill. But other than that, we only know that he is fixated on Hobi and that he is lying to himself about something.

My theory is that he cares a lot about Hobi and is envious/resentful of Hobi’s girl (which represents Hobi’s wish to be cared for) because Hobi doesn’t see how much Jimin cares for him already. There are also indicators that Jimin is in love with Hobi and lies about his feelings because of society and negative stigmas, but I’m not sure how much we can read into those signs.

But anyway, Jimin has to stop lying to himself before he can be with Hobi and the others.

And now onto Jin. I feel like Jin’s girl represents his wish for a peaceful and happy life. If our theory is correct and he has watched his friends suffer for a long time, this idea would become even more plausible. He thinks he can just become better and have a good life but he sees that that can’t just happen when the girl gets run over. His dream of just fixing everything by just becoming a better person, quite literally, gets run over.

He has to learn that he can’t change fate or people and that the best way to a happy ending is caring for his friends. And that he can’t blame himself for what happens to the boys.

So yeah, that’s what I think of the girls.

This got a lot longer than I thought it would, I hope you don’t mind that. Also, keep in mind that this theory also has weak spots.  For example the scene where both Jimin and Hobi’s girl have an accident. That wouldn’t really make sense if the girls are just a representation of the boys’ feeling or wishes.

I’d like to hear what you guys think about all this, so feel free to message us!

⚜Admin Sam’s EXO Comeback Theory 2017 Compilation⚜

To start, here is the old compilation of my Phantom of the Opera/Mask choreography comeback theory that I’ve had for a couple of years - this concept still hasn’t manifested. I don’t know if it will never happen or if it is going to be combined with this comeback theory concept to be doubley-amazing, OR if it could possibly be the repackaged concept.

^^from MAMA 2016.

Many of you may know about the Royalty/Kings concept, and here I am going to compile what I have seen so far about it!

♛^This picture is from the old comeback theory post. People were confused by the “THTONES” but since earlier this year, similar posts started flying around saying that the title track would be called “THRONE,” which... makes more sense. cr. mydeeryo

♛There are rumors that both “Full Moon” (performed on tour) and “Phoenix” (from teaser era) will be on this album. There are also rumors that it will be a full-length album and that the repackaged has been in the works (these are looser rumors/he-said-she-said kind of stuff so take it with a grain of salt). 

♛During EXO’s fifth anniversary vlive broadcast, Jongin referenced a Korean idiom and said he’s “sharpening his sword,” which has a meaning of working hard/preparing. This led fans to believe that this is related to the royalty concept and that it could be a knightly theme or even that the choreography could be related to sword-fighting. It was an idiom but Jongin is quite book-smart and clever with his words, even though he doesn’t show it as much as Baekhyun.

@jonginssoo (view post)

♛Speaking of Baekhyun, his “it’s hot” hint - he said it again here at the Exordium dot press conference. Fans speculate that the hint was simply to say that it would be a summer concept but I’m sure it’s more than that. Some people believe that it’s wordplay, that he means “The War” in english. So sneaky~ I don’t know if it has to do with the title of the song or the song’s theme.

♛He also said SOMEWHERE something about them coming back as powerful warriors but I can’t for the life of me find that???!?! I wish I had saved it somewhere because I automatically thought of the royalty/knights concept. Please let me know if you know where this is from.

♛And then obviously, the royalty outfits:

MY PERSONAL THEORIES:

♛Bringing back MAMA powers and/or having a song that is about the state of the world, similar to MAMA

♛A song that is not a love/relationship song.

♛I still think it could have the same vibe as my mask concept. Historical outfits, baroque architecture LOL. Knights/warriors/game of thrones/that sort of thing you know

♛That old joke Baek made about Kyungsoo doing pilates to prepare for the comeback LMFAO maybe some difficult choreography/b-boying/acrobatic formations like in Overdose

♛I think there will be a rapper-line song, kind of like Twenty Four, whether it’s Full Moon, Do it Together, or another song.

So I believe that’s all I have for now, send a message if you have any detective work that I’ve missed and I will tag everything with “comeback2017″ so you can visit /tagged/comeback2017 to see all of the posts/asks I answer about this!

Get to work, EXO-Ls 🔍🗒🖋

My B.A.P comeback theory

First of all *intense freakout* Ok, it appears to be a virus of some kind wiping out b.a.p’s previous albums, which could explain why they were taken off itunes and spotify and which ever songs were left could possibly tie in to what the comeback will be

[fluffyyeollie]

EXO COMEBACK THEORY!!!!! Okay I made this theory yesterday, and I'm kinda confinced this one is /it/ Okay so, we have the good ol' Mama logo and the superpowers. If we go to Kai's power where the teasers started, and go one left (or in this case, one down), we find Baekhyun's power; the second teaser. Then if we go look diagonally from Baekhyun's power, we find Chanyeol's; the third teaser. And if we go one left (or in this case, one down), we find Sehun's power; today's teaser. If we follow this pattern, we should go diagonally again for the next teaser, and that would be Xiumin. If we go one left now, we find Tao and how much this hurts my ot12 heart, we have to literally skip his power and go straight to Suho's. Now, we should go diagonally again and I KNOW Lay is not in this album, but he is still in EXO so yes, he is also in the pattern. Since going left from Lay will bring us nowhere, we're gonna go ahead and go diagonally again, landing on D.O's power, and going one left from there, we end with Chen. So, if my theory is right, the pattern of the teaser should be: Kai Baekhyun Chanyeol Sehun Xiumin Suho /Lay/ D.O Chen

In the wake of recent BTS teasers, I’ve come to a thought process. It’s not a theory persay.

I think this comeback will be a much sadder version of For You.

Think about it…

Jungkook wanted something he was trying very hard to have in For You, but he couldn’t get it. The members come together to make it happen.

The recent teasers give me that same feeling For You did. The members are trying to make something happen for Jungkook.

I can’t exactly explain myself, but I’m getting a very Dark For You feel from this comeback.
