#btw 'fuck off forever' is a simplification. she fucking shoots at them lol

Other Jihun and Seungjae (and more) related stuff:

They're the ONLY ones with different looking t-shirts (green and black)

On the bus, Seungjae sits next to him and Yunsang, who is like... his closest friend.

The first thing Seungjae said to Jihun was to ask him if he wanted the last cigarette left in the box.

And the first thing Jihun did when he left the bully group was to quit smoking.

Jihun is the only one who tells Seungjae to Cut that shit Out when he threatens to shoot Myeongjun.

And Seungjae does listen to him.

Se-yeon, Seungjae and Jihun are the only three characters drawn with the exact same close-up shot, the one that appears right before they do something that will change the story or affect their enviroment in a big way. (For Seungjae was killing Chae-eun; for Jihun was it leaving the group, and for Se-yeon it was when she told the group of bullies to Fuck off Forever in the middle of the night)

When Myeongjun confronts Seungjae (when he was trying to manipulate Yura), Seungjae looks a bit intimidated by him: tense shoulders and a nervous look on his face. The art also seems to support this interpretation by giving Myeongjun a low-perspective pov.

But... when Jihun confronts him? Seungjae doesn't look nervous at all-- in fact, he glares at him. In that scene Jihun is drawn with damaged clothes and bags under his eyes from poor sleep; he looks like he's been going through some shit, to put it simply. The contrast is noticeable.

(class 1-9 spoilers)

why are there so many parallels and mirrors and stuff between Seungjae and Jihun what does it Mean. Why. i don't understand.... what's the objective of this....

There's the easy stuff like the earrings. We can theorize why Jihun put those on (he wanted to fit in?).

And then there's the interesting stuff: Jihun and Seungjae's make similar expressions, have some panels that mirror each other, and other stuff (more on that later).

And then there's the shit that makes you insane:

Their deaths are very similar:

They both have a panel where they're screaming-- with the exact same POV AND the exact SAME expression-- both right before dying.

They both get shot ON SAME SHOULDER

and then right after that HAVE PANELS THAT ARE OPPOSITE OF EACH OTHER-- IN COLOR.

INVERTED COLORS!!!

Their semi-final words are almost like they're talking to each other "I'm the only one getting outta here alive!"- "Nobody else is leaving this island"

Their death panels are extremely similar (multiple bullet wounds appearing on their bodies + white background + standing up)

Jihun's final panel is dark, while Seungjae's is white. Jihun looks almost peaceful, he dies quietly, and … the other one does not.

Okay this one is a reach but... Jihun is an air sign and Seungjae is a water sign. Jihun dies on water and Seungjae on land LIKE!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
