ੈ♡˳·˖✶ 𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 #𝟏 . DIVORCE .

— warnings. auntie lino x uncle seungmin, angst, proud mother minho, swearing.

— wc. 431.

— notes. idk what i was thinking, i’ve just been looking at fan art :/

masterlist.

“I want a divorce.” The same four words Seungmin repeated at the end of every heated argument, the same four words Lina brushed off every time. As much as Seungmin claimed to want a divorce he never did anything about it, not that he could considering they didn’t have the money for it. “I’ve found and contacted a divorce lawyer.”

Oh, that was new.

Lina looked at him in surprise, eyebrows being covered behind her fringe, her hold on Yongbok ever so slightly tighter, before her face went back to neutral, “you have the money for that?” Her voice was quiet so not to disturb the sleeping three year old that she cradled to her chest. She moved to her child’s room, knowing full well Seungmin would follow her like a lost puppy, to put the baby to bed. She didn’t want to have this conversation in front of her precious daughter.

“Well—” Seungmin started but his voice caught up in his throat as he watched his wife be a loving mother. Once upon a time that was all he desired, to have a family with the woman he loved. When the two met in high school, he was in awe of his cold upperclassmen, he was in awe as the way she held herself with the upmost confidence, he was in awe at the way she put her foot down when she didn’t like or agree with something. Kim Seungmin wanted that woman.

“Well?” Lina muttered, brushing past him and out their daughter’s room. Seungmin cleared his throat, whispering a goodnight to Yongbok and closed the door. He followed his wife into the living room where she sat on the sofa, a bored look on her face. “Remember the last time we had split up, honey?”

He gulped at her tone, his teeth worrying at his lower lip as he huffed, “yes, but—”

“But nothing, Seungmin!” Lina raised her voice, an ugly placed upon her beautiful face, her arms crossed over her chest as she looked away from him, “We’re not being the embarrassment of your family anymore.”

Seungmin blinked, his mouth parting to try and bring out a response but he was beat to it, “we’re not splitting. We do not have the funds, we have a child, we’re not having a divorce.” Her eyes were sharp, her tone cold as she stood up and walked directly in front of him.

“Do not mention this tomorrow, especially not when your parents are meeting Yongbok.” With that she left the room, leaving Seungmin with multiple thoughts running through his mind.

Venom - Stray Kids

So this is my analysis of the Venom MV. I will talk about three main topics:

Lee Know's role

Jeongin's role

Felix and Seungmin acts

And in the end of the post I will leave some unanswered questions that I will (try to) explain in future posts

Keep on mind that my idea here is that there are two parallel universes (the normal one and the oddinary one), that's important!

And also keep on mind that I am not a native English speaker and I'm tired, so it's probably not proofread lmao. Hope you enjoy anyways

Lee Know's role

In Red Lights, both Hyunjin and Chan face a mirror and nothing out of the ordinary happens. But in Venom, Lee Know's reflection acts on its own

That's where his role is explained, or at least I believe so. The mirror symbolises a "door" and the fact it's broken means the "door is open". Wich means: Lee Know can travel between realities.

But if he has the ability to just go away whenever he wants to, and the main purpose is to escape, why doesn't he? My guess is: he knows something is wrong. Which leads me to my next point, the banquet.

The Banquet

The classic scene that made everyone's mind blow off. Where everyone eats the food from a banquet but Lee Know. And seconds later, everyone is unconscious, but Lee Know.

That's why most think he is a villain. But actually, I think he is the closest we have to a hero. Please, focus on the next screenshot:

I know most of the time the lyrics don't match to the storyline, but what if it does here? What if LK knew something was wrong and was trying to figure it out and maybe even fix it? I dare to say he was even scared. He thought someone in the group was the threat (I believe in it as well) but didn't know who. That's why he gave the same treatment to everyone. And in the end he felt relieved because he thought the threat was gone. But I don't think so. And talking about a traitor...

Jeongin

Yes, I believe he is the traitor. And I think so because of one specific scene, this one:

The chess scene. Felix and I.N were playing chess and it was Jeongin's turn. He made the following movement

With that move, the king is on danger. I believe this means that I.N is the one causing the danger. And somehow, Felix is the one endangered.

Felix and Seungmin

I don't know that much about Seungmin's role in the storyline, but I do know Felix should run away. So why doesn't he?

Both of them could've escaped. They were so close. But instead, Felix sees the outside and then closes the door. "No thought of escaping" as the lyrics say. But why? Why would they keep themselves in that hell? Sadly, I do not have an answer (yet), but I needed to point this out.

Unanswered questions

Why was Hyunjin fighting with Lee Know?

Why was Han Hyunjin's target?

The arrow scene with I.N and Chan means trust. How does that relates to the storyline?

Why Changbin wasn't allowed to speak?

Why was Seungmin the last one to run away from the spider, alone and masked?

Conclusion

Besides the unanswered questions, I think I brought some important points up. Like

The possibility of Lee Know being a traveller

The possibility of Jeongin being the villain

The fact Felix is being targeted

Both Seungmin and Felix's role are related

If you can think of anything else, want to question anything I said or even correct me, please do!

Hyunjin death in skzverse(I'm not English speaker, sorry if you something not understand or I made a mistake)

I don't know how to start a story, but let me start it somehow mysteriously. Now I'm going to talk about a rather obscure topic and I saw it from an English blogger (as far as I know, English is not really the author's native language, but I'll call it English because of the language of the video, so…) in the video 2020-2021.

Actually, I should probably first tell the theory that the author presented, and then what led to what is written in the title of this… what is it? This theory.

It all starts with the significance of Hyunjin in the Stray Kids universe. Just so you understand, the author has a whole set of videos on what the characters of the Stray Kids mean or are in their universe. Naturally, I'll leave credits to the author of the theory and his video at the end, so I'm not assigning anything to myself, I just want to tell you all about it.

In the Stray Kids universe, Hyunjin is the key. In God's menu he makes an illusion of a keyhole through which he looks into the camera, actually repeating in detail the scene of Chan in another clip Double knot (you can watch the prologue of the video with this moment).

(Time-code in God's menu: 1:38)

The choreography in Back door also deserves special attention, where he starts it as the one who "opens the door".

Also in Side effects, if you remember, at the very end of the clip, the key that Hyunjin lost in this world but later found it in Double knot was shown (yes, I'm aware that keys are different in appearance and it looks more like the key from "the final piece 2019", but did you allow for the possibility that it can change its shape? Anyway, this isn't a particularly important detail and this insert is literally my author's piece, but… just read on, okay?)

Just because Hyunjin is the key that opens the door/portal to the next world, he becomes indispensable to the rest of the members, so they can't leave world without him. This is the reason why in Side effects skz coming back for Hyunjin.

In spite of all this, Hyunjin is the most skeptical of all the members. (As an example, he looks at Chan in Astronaut as if he's waiting for some answers from him).

A bunch of times he tried to warn us that something is wrong from the very beginning (i.e. District 9, I dare to assume that this is what the author of the theory had in mind, since the following is a frame from this m/v)

In the world of Miroh Stray Kids have been there twice (you can know that from the same prequel, I will naturally leave the original video from the JYP-oppa channel) and just the second time, Hyunjin seems to be one of the few, if not the only one, who is not impressed with the world of Miroh. Because he remembers having been there before. However, he remains silent as he knows that hardly anyone will listen to him.

Speaking of keys, or in our case, the single key mentioned above, this is the key that used to control the elevator (I daresay it's the same-old Hellevator) when skz get to the previously uncharted road of the YW or Yellow wood worlds.

As we remember, in Side effects throughout the clip, Hyunjin is acting a bit aggressive, and it's clear to see that he's fucked up(mentally or something like that). At the end of the clip, in this "cutscene," Hyunjin actually gives up. He's tired, it's clear to see, but the rest of his friends try to cheer him up and come back for him. What's my point? And this is me now to another reminder of how important Hyunjin is. If he decides to give up or end this whole mess, it won't be good for the Stray Kids at all, which is why they try to avoid such moments. In order for the Stray Kis to succeed, Hyunjin must not trust the illusions (that mean he must also be extremely cautious) and keep moving forward. This will all play an important role in the end.

Hyunjin can easily tell the difference between Jeongin and his clone in Astronaut by being himself and not violating the above points, with a clear mind. The same picture happened with other members and their clones(Hyunjin can also know who is who).

Now, having discussed how important Hyunjin's pure mind is and what he is capable of doing when that is the case, let's move on to his mistakes. There were two in total and they were shown as an alternate ending, at least in one of the cases for sure.

Let's start with the first one, which took place in the world of Side effects. The famous fight with Seungmin. Being under the influence of the world (which actually means the same thing as trusting an illusion), because of his emotions about the fact that no one listens to him and is unlikely to listen to him, he starts a fight with Seungmin. I realize that you don't really understand the significance of this whole event yet, so I think it's worth telling you a little bit about Seungmin now, too, according to the same author's theory.

Seungmin in this world represents a map. In many worlds he can be seen with a camera in hand and naturally it makes sense. In Miroh, as well as in All in, we can see Seungmin creating a map of the levels from his collected photos (the universe is compared to the game throughout the author's theories, if you didn't notice this above, then I, for some reason, decided not to mention this factor) so that we don't forget where he was, when and what happened there.

(Please pay attention to the background of the marked screenshots from All in, based on them we can assume that it was Seungmin who participated in the creation of these inscriptions and clues(?) on the board. Based on the silhouettes, I'm assuming that there were 4 people involved in its creation, namely: Hyunjin(he appears in the first screenshot, and after that he disappears somewhere; By the way, if you look a little more carefully, you can see that there are two Hyunjin and they are sitting almost back to back (if you can't see it in the screenshots, I'll send you to watch the m/v)), Minho (the assumption is based on the shirt he is wearing, he's the first one on the right in the background), Jeongin (second from the left after Hyunjin, again because of the clothes, since he's wearing a white t-shirt on top and a denim suit after that (I forget what that thing is called, so let it be a denim suit)), and Seungmin (he's the one sitting down).

In the I am not trailer we can see a moment where Seungmin draws something from a sample. From this, we can conclude that maybe he's just as good at cartography.

Now when we've talked about Seungmin, let's go back to the situation in Side effects. We can't say for sure that it was only the world's influence and Hyunjin's internal problems that made him do this (an example of the world's influence is the endlessly repeated phrase, "My head hurts"). He could have easily been pissed off by Seungmin's calm demeanor in the situation they were in in this world. Especially, he didn't know what reason Kim had for taking the pictures in the first place. The moment he knocks the camera out of Seungmin's hands is the moment he makes his fatal mistake.

Just as Hyunjin loses the key in Side effects, Seungmin loses the map in the same world. And all of this combines to cause the Stray Kids to self-lock themselves into Side effects. What Hyunjin started out as a normal fight with nothing easily turned into something more and that mistake turned out to be far more important. Well, hopefully now you realize how important the pictures Seungmin took were and we can go back to Hyunjin and his second mistake.

The second mistake, showing as the darkest alternative to Stray Kids, we have in I am you, to be more precise, in the second teaser, where we can see a rather interesting scene.

If you remember, Hyunjin's scene in I am you, is the scene with the filming equipment (spotlight, lapmas, lights and all that kind of stuff).

In the second teaser at the very beginning we can see a body lying surrounded by all this equipment. It's not hard to guess who's lying there. In this scene itself, we can see at least 4 members (with Hyunjin). Only one of the 4 figures moves in this scene and I can suggest that it was either Bang Chan or Felix (because of their blonde hair, although Felix has red hair in this era). Actually, whoever it is, he moves swiftly towards Hyunjin's body and passes by another member and the scene ends when the figure is halfway to the body.

Let's now discuss the reasons why this could have happened. The first reason is that Hyunjin just couldn't stand what was happening to him and jumped himself (from the way the body is lying, we can assume that it fell from a height) and the second reason is that he was pushed by one of the clones and maybe later, if it was his clone, he simply replaced it.

Also, this is my addition to this theory, is that Chan always knows more than the others. I mean, it's natural, but it seems like at some point, he start to believes that Hyunjin is the same as his clone from the future Double knot (remember, he helped Chan by giving him the key to travel between realities, at a time when the lives of both clones and originals were in very great danger because of the government, as well as the splitting of worlds or their unification). So in Astronaut, Chan was able to tell Hyunjin things he wasn't supposed to know, causing Hyunjin to split Chan's cargo. But eventually Hyunjin got over it and.. you know. This is another more extended version of the теории самагубства (self-m*rder theory).

Also, one moment with Hyunjin is very interesting. In fact, it has no connection to the above theory (although you can think of a way he could be connected to it), but it's also a pretty creepy moment. We all know that Stray kids are being watched in the skzverse. This can be seen in I am you, District 9, Double knot, All in and other such worlds. Have you heard M.I.A.? Have you seen the performance video? In fact, there's can be a whole separate analysis on it (maybe sometime in the future I'll pay attention to it), even though it's not a m/v, it's just a performance. I'm just talking about Hyunjin and one of the moments in that video. I'll just show you, and beyond that, I'll leave the moment to your theories and fantasies.

That's it, thanks for reading and listening, here's a video of Hyunjin's breakdown, as well as credits:

Tiktok: alyfortuna84

The official prequel, which should explain something:

(Well, here's a little corner of my theory. What if every time one of the participants dies, and since every participant is important to the Stray kids according to the theory above (I actually dedicated this part to Hyunjin and Seungmin, but this author also has theories about other participants, I'm just most impressed with this one. But if you consider the theories about the other participants, it seems that each of them is important, and most of the time the Stray Kids just can't get any further without one participant), then the universe is just restarted. If you compare it to the game, when one of the members dies, the Stray Kids just go to a bad ending and start over from the last save. Ok, just my theory, hopefully the "main theory" will be heard by a little more people because it's fucking interesting).

"Who's Yongbok" WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO'S YONGBOK. MA POOR GUY HAS BEEN THROWN OUTSIDE A WINDOW ALREADY AND BEFORE THAT HE WAS TRAPPED IN A GALAXY BOX TO BECOME A HUMAN COMPASS. THAT YONGBOK. THE ONE WITH BLUE LIGHTNING SUPERPOWERS. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "Who's Yongbok" ????

[bebestay]

skz are prepping for a comeback and i know this

but do i want to hold back on my lore theory videos any longer? No. Absolutely not. is it possibly going to happen because i have no time to edit this video? more than likely.

I suffered through the fnaf timeline already. If MatPat can rewrite it 30 times, I can do it with the SKZ lore.

[the-skzverse-isa-myth]

Sometimes when I read skzverse Twitter theories I feel like an absolute bitch at how flabbergasted I get at some Stays ideas. Like I strongly believe that the original skz verse began in Hellevator and ended with the highlight reel + some of the mvs in go live like back door and all in (and maybe scars or easy. I don't think albums as a whole post gods menu linked back to the storyline though) Besides that their has been a side universe with the mixtape tracks and the View. And yes oddinary, no easy, and maxident have their own themes but I dont consider them as whole sequential storylines like the one we saw across skz's mini albums after their debut.

Also chan has on at least 2 occasions when asked about the skzverse stated that "we use to have a storyline now we just do what we want". Or something along those lines. I'll try to find the videos. I think itd be useful also to point out that different people may define storyline differently thus leading to arguments about if skz has one or not.

hi baby stay here

what is the skzverse and which videos do i watch so i can get the info into my brain to ramble about endlessly?

[bbokies]

a while ago i, in a fit of past-my-bedtime sleepiness, ranted for a while to a (non k-pop) friend about how i, personally, interpreted skzflix and skzverse.

now i COULD look back through the MVs and refine my ""theory"" into something that made tangible sense.

instead im just gonna toss it out here <333 live free and have fun

forgive me for using light mode i know its a cardinal sin

[everywhere-all-around-the-world]

SKZFLIX IS BREAKING MY BRAIN

i am watching all these theory videos and getting deeper and deeper into confusion 😭

Maniac - Stray Kids

I'm back with one more MV analysis and this time we'll talk about Maniac. I highly recommend the reading of my latest analysis, where I talk about Venom. But, if you don't want to read it, no problem! I'll do my best to cover every topic here and give a good explanation

We'll talk about the following topics:

The Quartet

Clones

Lee Know's role

I.N's role

Felix

Just like last post, I will also put some unanswered questions in the end. And just like last post, I'm also tired lmao. Not proofread but I'll try my best.

With that being said, let's go!

The Quartet

In my last post I said I.N, Seungmin and Lee Know were up to something. I.N was a bad guy, Seungmin was somewhat a bad influence to Felix and Lee Know knew about the two realities (oddinary one and normal one). Now, may I add another gentleman to the group of suspicious guys: Changbin

Besides the scenes where they were together having fun and some others where they were together, Changbin alone deserves to be highlighted in this MV and that's why:

Clones

Yes, I.N is somehow related to clones because there is a scene where he is with a lot of clones. And everyone talks about that scene. That's important for the plot, of course. But for some reason I have never seen someone talk about Changbin's clones?

Here it is. Whatever ability I.N has or accident he suffered, Changbin has or went through the same. Now, I know everyone in the skzverse is suspicious and should not be trusted (besides han because apparently he didn't do anything wrong, but that's sus as well), but I am most skeptical about some people and now, Changbin is part of that crew.

Also, I don't know if that relates or perhaps I'm reading too deep, but Changbin's necklace is a heart. And with maxident, we know that hearts are not exactly a good thing

Back to our beloved quartet, we have

Lee Know

It seems like a joke, but Lee Know does know everything that's going on, or at least I believe so. And my theory is once again comproved in this MV

You know how I.N was cloning himself when he was alone? If you pay attention to the window, you'll see Lee Know looking at him. And later he says the following

There is no way of being sure if the lyrics match to the scene, as the SKZverse is built from the MVs and not the songs. But, if this line do match with what's going on in the mv, then we have a good theory here

Jeongin is an imposter. He pretends to be a friend and an ally to stray kids, but in reality he is a somewhat villain. But his eyes can't fool LK. Minho knows I.N's true intentions

Jeongin eyes

You know how I.N's appearance is normal throughout almost the whole MV? Let's focus on a certain frame

When Lee Know mentions Jeongin's eyes, maybe he was being a little too literal. Maybe he can really see the real intention through his eyes. As we know because of Case 143, hearts are not a good thing. And if Jeongin has a heart in his left eye, that might symbolyze something bad

Felix

Now let's talk about the coolest thing here.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was that in Felix's hand, but once I discovered it made so much sense!

Basically, that's a greek eye. Which is used to keep the evil away and protect the one who is using it. Felix is the only one wearing this jewelry, meaning he probably is the only one who needs protection. At least for now

Resume

So we are skeptical of I.N and Changbin mostly, because they are related to clones and hearts.

Seungmin and Lee Know play an important role, I believe both know something the others don't

Felix is once again in a bad situation where he needs to run away and protect himself from the danger

Questions

What is Seungmin doing with Hyunjin here?

Is Felix trying to run away from the oddinary reality?

Why was Changbin the only one walking backwards?

Why was Han left out from the first two choruses (he didn't dance with the others)?

Why was Hyunjin's skin reacting to the atmosphere in the begging, like he is attracted to whatever was going on?

The end

I feel like I didn't talk about a lot of things here so I plan on perhaps redoing this, but if you noticed anything I didn't, please let me know! Any recommendations and suggestions will be welcomed and appreciated

And it's not proofread because I am lazy today so yeah, hope it's enjoyable anyways.

Thank you for reading and for the support in my last post🫶
