So in summary: Hellevator (my theory): stray kids enter a hellavator instead of going down it goes up sort of implying they are going up to achieve their dreams. the hellavator is like all their doubts and negative thoughts but they're channeling this to hope, giving what they need to go up upon the hellavator. They reach the floor which is district 9 this is possibly a trial to see if they can reach their final goal. District 9: they were being held captive and taught to all be the same, they realised that something was wrong (a glitch) that all of them were different. So they escaped to look for what they were searching for. I am you: They escaped and realising what they needed, they relied on eachother "you" and wanted to advance so they headed to miroh. Miroh: Seeing how corrupted the world was they wanted to take a road that was not taken (yellow wood). Yellow wood: there was Two choices that they could have went through (one where they took the bus) and one where they didn't, this represents that whatever choice they made there was a consequence or sacrifice that had to be made. Double knot: they realised that they themselves had to come up with their choices and not let anyone else choose or give them the choices for them. They see two moons that represent two different choices, curious they find a key that led to a door to which they thought would be the answer. Levanter: Realising the key they had was a trap they let go of it, they relied on it for so long. In which the two moons collided, revealing their true selves. Hope this helped? I'm quite bad at explaining so I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well 😅 Edit: thank you for all your comments! :) I forgot to mention Hellevator so sorry about that :')
My Stray Kids Universe theory: The members are in a dystopian world where they’re brainwashed into a system that expects perfection. They’re told they’re all different but for some reason they still feel like they’re all the same. In order to break out of that “system” to find themselves, they created their own District. District 9 is a safe place for anyone around the world who feels astray. A Haven where you can be yourself and Step Out of societal norms. The whole I Am mini album series is trying to identify who they are as individuals. (I Am Not, I Am Who, I Am You) So it’s like questioning yourself. If I Am Not who they say I am, then Who am I? The mv for I Am You, can be interpreted in your own way just like many open ended Stray Kids songs but at the end of the day the members had the same goals to reach their ambitions and dreams as one team which led them to take the Hellevator to start their journey together. When they embark the first “key” in their journey, Clé 1: Miroh (Clé is French for key & Miro means maze in Korean meanwhile the “h” in Miroh stands for heaven or hell depending on how their path goes) they enter the maze but when they tried to escape the maze, the hellavator brought them back to the same systematic society that they tried to run away from. So they rebelled and took the Road Not Taken or in other words choosing their own paths instead of “being guided.” Which brings us to the 2nd key, Clé 2: Yellow Wood mini album. Side Effects is the most essential part of this whole Stray Kids journey and the way I viewed Side Effects was like a fork in the road. One path leads to the New World where everything they do is led by the system and guided with comfort but the 2nd path is the hard path to the unknown led by their own actions. These paths turn into 2 universes that chronologically happen at the same time and according to Chan, IN is the “glitch in the matrix” so he’s conscious of both worlds where they take the bus to the New World vs the off-road path, where they experience frustrations and dead ends but comfort each other and stay together despite the challenges. In Levanter they showed both of the parallel universes. It starts off with Stray Kids in their apocalyptic world (where they chose their own path) staring at the door to the parallel world and then the mv enters through the keyhole into the universe to the New World in the same fields you’ll recognize from Hellavator. The word Levanter is translated as a Mediterranean wind and we see the part where they feel the wind in the New World and follow its way through the doorway that parallel Chan is guiding them into. Notice that the members went from one field into another field when they walked through the door. It may represent being at a plateau in your career or life or whatever aspirations you might have. Sometimes people stay at their jobs for a long time and it’s bc they’ve become comfortable and they don’t want to move up in their careers bc they’re happy where they’re at. Which is okay but for Stray Kids they want more out of their careers and their lives so in order to grow they had to let go of that comfort. This explains why IN is “the glitch” bc he’s symbolic for that very reason. He’s the representation of struggling between comfort and growth. Speaking of growth, the reason why the members have cuts on their faces is found in their TOP mv (jap vers.) The members fight against the Mediterranean wind (facing their challenges head on from making their own choices) which explains the cuts on their faces in Double Knot/Levanter and why they’re always found running bc they’re chasing after their goals even if they get hurt along the way. They realized that they didn’t need a “key” to guide them through their journeys bc all they needed was themselves. Which 1) is why they burned the one way ticket to the New World and the Hellavator. And 2) why the 3rd mini album is called Clé: Levanter and not Clé 3, bc there is no 3rd key, they’re the key to opening whatever paves their way to their own successes. As Levanter concludes its chapter in the Clé series by watching the moons collide in the New World, Go Live album/God’s Menu continues where Levanter left off from the other side (apocalyptic universe’s perspective) from the moment the 2 moons collided (explains why the red and white moons are on opposite sides) and two halves of themselves and the universes become one. IN Life repackaged album represents the boys starting a Stray Kids rebellion by entering restricted places led by the system and sneaking through the back door. They Unlock District 9 for everyone not only Stays, to welcome an open haven for all. This all seems like it’s about their journey through the kpop industry. You know? Stray Kids are rising to the top (just like what they wanted in Miroh) and they’re changing kpop by influencing how different they are and breaking out of the established system. Their song Haven concludes the Go Live album, and the lyrics literally say “Step out, do what you want”. Pretty much emphasizing, being your true self. Do whatever you want and live your best life no matter what anyone says. Hence why the repackaged album is called Insaeng which means “one’s life” - Go Live In Life *Symbols & more theories:* -Peter Pan and the lost boys is a recurring theme in the Stray Kids universe, Stray Kids can also mean “lost boys” and District 9 can be interpreted as skz’s version of Neverland and may also explain why “Captain Hook” is featured in most of their mv’s, as one of the politicians in Miroh, bus driver with the hook tattoo on his hand in Side Effects, security guard in Backdoor, and gangster leader in ALL IN. -In Levanter, IN and Felix’s choreography where Felix stands behind IN like a shadow portrays letting go of your comfort or whatever may be holding you back from your true self. -In Levanter, Felix’s “It’s all good now” can mean “I’m going to follow my heart, I’ll be okay” especially holding the “Broken Compass” in his hand. 3racha created a song called Broken Compass (which was recreated into Mixtape 4) and had inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you haven’t seen the movie, the main character Jack Sparrow has a compass that people think doesn’t work bc it doesn’t have the typical North, South, East and West. Little do they know it’s a magical compass that is not broken it leads a person to what their heart desires the most. So for Stray Kids, they’re letting us know they’re not following the basic structure of moving up the ladder of success or in this case pyramid (hint hint pyramid in Levanter) to get to the top. They’re following their own paths and doing whatever they want . -Hyunjin is found lost and running into cross roads in Double Knot, TMT, and Astronaut bc he’s a metaphor for uncertainty, confusion, and “not knowing which path to take.” -The bird that flies in Miroh might symbolize “the system” which is also the same bird that flies off of the door to the New World (universe led by the system) in Levanter -The Astronaut mv is the comfortable parallel which explains why they’re so happy and Hyunjin runs into their systematic clones. Like I mentioned earlier, IN is the “glitch” so he sees the struggle Hyunjin experiences in Astronaut and is shown by himself sitting alone with the parallel moons at the end of Astronaut and sitting alone while everyone is running in the TOP mv. -At the end of Side Effects the boys find Hyunjin sleeping, Astronaut could be Hyunjin dreaming? And it picks back up when Chan wakes him up in Levanter. Not the mv itself but the Levanter choreography starts off with Chan “waking up” Hyunjin just like when he woke him up at the end of the Side Effects mv. -The Mirror choreo that’s shown by Changbin and Hyunjin in Levanter is symbolic for their parallel universes which is why the Red Moon and White Moon are on opposite sides in Levanter and in the GO生 trailer. God’s Menu mv: *God concept:* They’re the creators of their masterpieces *Science lab/Construction Site:* They construct and experiment w/ genres, lyrics and concepts (God’s Menu concept possibly inspired by Alchemistry by 3racha) *Chef concept:* Food comes in different flavors just like their music *Racetrack:* Competition in the music industry Thank you so much for taking the time to read my theories!! Follow me on my socials if you’d like! Instagram & Twitter: 123racha_gs You’re welcome to share, copy and paste, whatever as long as you credit me.
You are amazing and this is so far the most complete and well explained theory I've encountered so far, my mind's blown. I finally understood it, it makes so much sense. The staff that produced this whole storyline really did it well, but a bit hard to understand lol. Thank you so much for sharing it with us mortals ❤️
stray freckles Aw, thank you so much! I know, I’ve seen so many theories but ever since I made this theory I understand the entire skz universe a lot more. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me lol
Don’t you get it??? I mean YES it is very confusing... but here’s the gist of whats going on: All the mvs, everything it was all connected... at the start, district 9 and I AM NOT... they were breaking out of the place... because they wanted to break out the mould the world put them in... so they broke out of that facility, to find their selves (district 9) Had fun for a while with us Stays Went to a place called Miroh to move forward... a while later, they gave up, left that world, went to a road not taken (side effects mv) consequences of their actions... shows moons the two moons in the mvs, Levanter.... keys were actually a trap, thought about how far they went, moment they left us realised the two moons overlapped, gave them a wake up call... therefore G0 LIVE!!!!! Super confusing but I tried...
This is why I stan people who have concrete timeline for their songs and mvs, not the others who kept talking about love or using repetitive (and basically pointless) words as lyrics. Stan talent and originality.
@@hmb1331 Not trying to sound rude, but Stray Kids aren't the only people who has a storyline with their music and MV's. I do agree that Stray Kids are talented af and they're very original too
after a month i finally get it, only stray kids could think of something like this and tie all their music videos into one seamless storyline and it makes so much sense now - they were trapped in the system and realised it wasnt them so they left together trying to survive in I am you then decided to step into the maze, as in take down those who oppressed them but when they saw that there was no change they decided to leave and go to a 'utopia' of sorts in the yellow wood on the 'Road not Taken' but as we all know a perfect world doesnt exist so they experienced the 'Side Effects', when they tried to escape with the wind in 'levanter' they realised the promise of a new world was fake and that the answer was within themselves so in Go Live they finally woke up from their dream/nightmare and are now going to take whats theirs and live their lives making the music they want to. I cant wait for the bright future with stray kids.
you saying chan's the mastermind literally remind me of something. while I.N knew everything, chan is the one that decided to change how they live (starting with giving them a paper when he is scanning their barcode). then in astronaut, he's the one that keep contacting the members and pursued them to enter the elevator (or the ship idk). in levanter, I.N weren't left alone. when he looks a bit hesitant to enter the elevator, chan touch his shoulder and kinda asked him why he's not entering then I.N just shakes his head while entering the elevator. I feel like chan's the mastermind in this and bruh what's on the bus guy's hand? it's like a tattoo or something (2:48). idk man my head is going cuckoo banana while thinking of these theories.
And they invite customers from back door and there you go ALLL IINN!! STAYS CANT STOP WE WANT MORE so let see what’s next i kinda want skz make an album titled NEW WORLD yeah~
Theory time: Okay, so the ‘I am’ series up to ‘Miroh’ is pretty much easy to interpret; they were being manipulated by the system to conform, so they broke out and found themselves in Miroh where it was basically a bigger version of the same system. That’s when they decided to find their own place where they can be themselves. So ‘Yellow Wood’ is where it got confusing so here’s my theory based on Chan’s monologue. “At the moment of choice, they thought of their own comfort; we thought of our own way. And so, different moons came up with different choices.” -This adressed how the parallel worlds were created. In the Side Effects teaser 1, it showed skz going on the bus and skz staying at the bus stop. In Side Effects M/V, it showed the two moons symbolizing the creation of the parallel worlds through this choice. “When we stood in front of the door that day, thinking about the shadow of the moon on the other side... the wind blew.” -So in Levanter M/V, we see two skz: the ones in the fields and the ones in the city. The ones in the fields are the ones who chose comfort, the latter are the ones who chose their own way. In the perspective of the ones in the city, it also signifies how they were doubting the choice to go their own way and thinking of the ‘what if’ they rode the bus. On the other side, the ones who chose the bus were faced with the realization that perhaps, the comfort they have was a deception to take them away from who they really are and what their original goal was. The phrase the wind blew often means change. So this shows how both skz from both worlds were thinking of the choices they made and the decisions they have to make moving forward. “We contemplated about the key we held in our hands. We thought it was the answer but it was a trap.” -This is said through the perspective of the ones who chose the rode not taken. Since they kept the key (elevator), they always have the option to go back or run somewhere else. These options turned out to be also deceiving (a trap) as it led them away to what’s really important. Which is in the end, to accept what comes their way head on and trust in themselves that they can make it through. So they burned down the passage itself (At 1:45 in Levanter MV, they burned down the elevator and the ticket to the new world that they kept all along). “The moment we let you go, the two moons overlapped, becoming one streak of light. The shining light brought back our true selves.” -The ‘you’ is the doubt that came with the skz who chose their own way. In the Side Effects MV, it showed the anxiousness of skz if their decision to stay at the bus stop was correct. When they finally accepted the repurcussions that came with their choice to go their own way, this showcased them letting go of their doubt and anxiousness. The ‘you’ can also be ‘comfort’ for the skz who rode the bus. They chose comfort over their initial goal. At 2:14 and 2:22 of the Levanter MV we can see that the color of the fields are different from each side of the door. When they pass through to the other side, it symbolizes the skz who chose comfort finally deciding to choose the road not taken as well (choosing their own way). Thus, we can see the moons converging into one. “Perhaps it was us all along that could have turned the moon into one.” -The story somehow shows that both option (riding the bus towards comfort or stayin at the bus stop to go their own way) came with deception because in the end, they just had to trust themselves and the choices they make to fulfill their original goal. “In a singular world, go live.” -With their upcoming comeback, we’ll see what happens now that theyre ready to fulfill their goals head on.
The theory I had thought of all by myself is really really close to yours and I hope we are on the right way to solving this.. Reading this filled some gaps in my theory so THANK YOU 🥰
*THE CONTEXT OF THE HIGHLIGHT REEL* They say, people are born different But why does it feel like we're all the same? Us brainwashed into the same system They expect perfection So how can we be diferent? A sign, an omen, a, a GLITCH The world took me away from myself We decide to get out of here And find our true self We went towards a small light with you In order to advance forward, We threw ourselves into miroh We ran around the unknown city, Without any hesitation Many nights have passed But nothing... has changed We turned our backs on the world And chose the road not taken Sometimes, our choices came with consequences In those times we shared our fears and helplessness And also relied on each other At the moment of choice They thought of their own comfort We thought of our own way And so different moons Came up with different choices When we stood in front of the door that day Thinking about the shadow of the moon of the other side The wind blew We contemplated about the key we held in our fists We thought it was the answer But it was a trap We think about the road we took The moment we let you go The two moons overlapped becoming one streak of light The shining light brought out our true selves Perhaps it was us all along That could have turned the moons Into one In a singular world, Go live.
Tbh more stays (and non stays) should know about this. I'm so tired of people saying that stray kids doesn't have originality and a concept. Spread the word stays! Let's brag about this masterpiece please.
Skz are the last ppl to be accused of not having originality, even their individual song concepts are top tier....like are ppl this dumb or just ignorant??? Their concept and storyline is byfar the best along with txt and dreamcatcher! People should appreciate the way they create parallels with reality and imagination, and give us a Web of values to pick from it. These things arnt easy to do since they don't even hv a fantasy concept. Their concept is much more closer to reality and the varied depictions of it. And these varied depictions form skz's storyline. Skz hv the most unique group concept, their concept is "reality " itself..they keep repeating the word "real" countless times in their trailers and this vid too. Their storyline revolves around "truth", like changbin said, "Their is NO lie on skz music". To me this is the most fascinating thing ever, they way they connect imagination with reality, and form a bridge for us to take a taste of both worlds is incredibly thought out. I love their approach!
here’s what i think this video means: In *Hellavator* they entered an elevator to take them through their journey of their debut which brought them to all the different levels. the “level” *District 9* showed them how society expects them to be, perfect and the same as every other person and or artist in the industry. But freed themselves and went on to the next level the “level” *I am You* helped them realize they are different from all of the other artists and that they only have each other to make a difference happen. Once they realized this they went to the next level the “level” *Miroh* helped show them that people were being brainwashed as to what rules they should follow which then gave StrayKids the motivation to take over the city and then leave to the next level before they could be attacked by a higher power and potentially be shut down the “level” *yellow wood* gave them the option of two paths to take, the one everyone followed or the one that was yet to be discovered. Which is why Chan said that they “chose the road not taken” also the side effects mv could’ve displayed all the effects they felt and went through because they were choosing a different path which had and not done before. This also led to them getting into fights with each other cause some had disbelief of even making it out the “level” *Double knot* tested to see if they were strong enough to untie the knot that held them into the “perfect” mentality and put them through challenges to help them find that the the key they thought held everything and even their future was false and they still had another level to “unlock” the “last level” which was *Levanter* helped lead them through the door that led them out of the dark and into the colorful world they had worked so hard to reach. In this video I.N was hesitant to leave it all behind but Chan encouraged him. Then the two moons became one and led them through the light to start their new journey this is just my interpretation but feel free to add anything else you might have that I don’t edit- the _GO_ teaser is filmed at a race course what if this is them finishing their race down the undiscovered path after racing for so long cause in the teaser the stray kids car is the car that crosses the finish line. In *My pace* they were racing in a tunnel and now in _GO_ they have made it out
Then there is me, a German who got British english taught in school, American englisch on TH-cam and picked up a slightly aussi accent because of aussi line. Now I speak in 4 accents and don't know how to control it...
Stays: So this is my theory... Skz; wrong Stays: what about- Skz: no Stays: ok, ok, I got it this time- Skz: * tells us what’s going on because we couldn’t figure out ourselves * Stays: **...starts new theory** (Conspiracy Stays never stop working do they?)
So here's my take of the storyline. I'm taking into fact the mvs and the whole album's message/meanings, since SKZ's storyline although a story relates to real life meanings. (This is just my fun interpretation) Hellevator - The gateway to their dreams The members have started from the bottom, Hell. The Hellevator despite its name, is their embraced gateway to success. The Hellavator represents/is the embodiment of their struggles in life that theyve overcome and that will carry them to their dreams and successes. The Hellevator is vital in being the transporter to their next chapters in life (especially seen in Cle series, where the keys found is used in the Hellevator to bring them to the next mv) I am NOT (District 9) - Rejecting a Perfect Society Stray Kids are trapped in a dystopian universe, while be shackled down by society to act a certain way in the eyes of others. However they escape free from this dystopian dimension, breaking through the barrier in the bus. They realize that they are NOT what other people say they are they must find their own identity. They must learn to live by their own standards as a unique individual. Throughout the mv there are static sounds and sirens. The siren declare their escape to freedom as a warning but also a declaration of rebelling social standards/expectations. The static is shown from this mv and through all mvs. It's a signal of imperfection, a "glitch". They are the glitches in the dystopian system, because they are deemed imperfect by society's standards for not following the masses. However SKZ break free. Theyre saying it's ok to be imperfect/differenr because that makes us human and all special/of importance. Being different allows one to shine to form their own identity I am WHO - Finding & Questioning their own identity SKZ escaped the dystopian universe into another world/dimension. They have deemed that the identities that others have imposed on them are NOT who they want to be (I am NOT). But now, they are confused. Just WHO are they then. In the My Pace mv and this whole album they're trying to find out who they truly are. What is their purpose, what makes them themselves. After living a lie so long in I am NOT, they are finally able to actually live. This segement is where they question and start the journey of discovering their true selves Note: The static effects are in this mv, confirming that they are still glitches/imperfections in the eyes of society (the cameras) I am YOU - Discovering their purpose and identity I am YOU is the end of the I am Trilogy. Essentially this part is vital in their journey, for theyve finally realized who they are. They are YOU. In other words they realized that they have become the person they are today thanks to all the support from Stays, their peers, each other and any figure in their lives that has impacted them. They have learned and grown through the interactions of YOU. At this point, they are at peace with themselves. They finally understand and are grateful to have grown to be the individuals they are today because of their experiences, hardships, and trials theyve faced. However now they are eager to truly make the most of their life and enjoy it after this realization. They now seek to travel the path of growing and living life, and enjoying it as their newly realized true selves. The Clé Series accomplishes this Note: We can say that the hardships and trials of escaping I am NOT and being self reflective in I am WHO, in reality relates to real life experiences the SKZ members and many people have gone through. Hence the whole I am Trilogy isnt just a typical storyline, it's an analogy to real life experiences. The I am Series is about self discovery, about finding and embracing yourself. CLE SERIES - SKZ find keys throughout their journey of life. They believe the keys is a designated path that will bring them to success/achieve their dreams Cle Series: Miroh - Life is a Maze that when entered can determine your future. The Cle series is a new chapter in their life. 1:44 Now they are traveling different worlds/realms to find the path to "success"/their dreams, to grow, and to find meaning with their newly realized identities as individual. They want to explore, learn more about themselves and grow. Miroh is the 1st world they enter with the Hellevator bringing them up from Hell to eventually Heaven/their dreams. Miroh is a play of words "Miro" which means maze in Korean (hence the maze Album cover logo and Maze of Memories song). The added H, Chan said stands for Heaven and/or Hell. In Miroh, the message is that life will give you twist and turns like a maze. Certain decisions on how to traverse life/maze will bring you to Heaven/your dreams. Other decisions may not be so fortunous and bring you to Hell In the Miroh world, they seek to bring a revolution, a rebellion against a society similar to I am NOT. However we see that nothing gets accomplished in the mv. No actual rebellion happens 2:16 . They realize this event (another hardship in life) isnt yet a hurdle they can jump over. They need to grow more before they face Miroh head on. They go back to the Hellevator while finding a new key. This key opens the next chapter in their life, by using the Hellevator to enter a new realm that will impact their life Cle 2: Yellow Wood (Side Effects) - The Side Effects/ consequences of your decisions in Life affect your future Side Effects is EXTREMELY important to the future events/mvs of the story and holds a lot of becays of the its overall message SKZ enter this new world from using the key they found in Miroh. They enter Side Effects realm where they are met with the Yellow Wood tree. Referencing Robert Frost's Poem - The Road Bot Taken, the poem explain that the roads splits paths at the Yellow Wood Tree 2:41 At this point the YellowWood Trailer and Side Effects mv depicts 2 different realities due to the 2 decisions made ( 3:14 hence the 2 moons, representing the clash of 2 realities/worlds). One decision is them taking the bus that leads them to TOP. The other decision is them forgoing the bus and deciding to travel on their own that leads them to Levanter. From here on, Side Effects mv mostly depicts the decision to forgo the bus 3:10 Decision 1: Forgoing the bus, and using the car to drive their own path On this decision they faced major struggles, hardships and hurdles. They decided not to take the bus/the easy way in life. Through this decision their relationship grows strained. Tension rises as they question if this path was the right path because of all the hurdles theyve faced so far. They begin to doubt themselves and this path theyve chosen. These doubts, worries, uncertainties and anxiety is the "side effects" or unwanted consequences they are facing as a result of their decision. The lyrics mention how "the pain hurted more, possibly because I had so much confidence" It's like when you feel you can do anything and then get beaten down. That hurts even more than expecting to not do well, because it's unexpected and unwanted. Just like side effects of a medication or in this case and action, are unwanted yet consequential. However, hardships experienced are never in vain. Despite their heads hurting in confusion of what path is right and what is wrong, they realize its not worth it to worry about the uncertainty. They decide to group togetehr and move on. While admist this hardship they have forgotten to find the next key. They instead journey and stumble upon Levanter 3:07 Decision 2: Take the bus/the guided "easy path" This path is not heavily explored. However it is implied that they chose the "easy path" where they weren't able to grow and learn from any hardships since they were not experienced on this path. They still have the mindset to find the keys. It is assumed that they did find a key and went to TOP realm .
(Continuation of comment. Wow I exceeded the comment word limit. So sorry for the length. But SKZ meanings shouldn't be glossed over shallowly haha) Cle 3: Levanter - Embrace the wind and your OWN path to success, a new breath of fresh air This is the ending to the Cle trilogy. SKZ have endured tremendous obstacles and hardships. They are uncertain that the path they took (decision 1) will bring then to success, however the struggles have made them even closer to each other 3:45 In Levanter they realize that they dont need the keys to reach their success. The members realize that they are their own keys and that there are no actual objects that will lay out & unlock path of success for them. Hence in real life, success is not laid out on a path that is given to you (the keys), instead success is found through yourself by trial and error. SKZ themselves are the ones that should be deciding their own future, since their own decisions have the power to guide them to their dreams, not some keys. Hence the lyrics, "I wanna be myself.....the person I needed was me (Kor vers) I needed to find me. They key was inside of me all along (Eng Vers)". At this point they reject finding anymore keys, burn the Hellevator, and they burn the Ticket to the New World, (cause they dont need a promised plan to success laid out to them). They instead stumble upon a new gate, possibly unlocked by themselves after their realization. This realization is when they are able to see the world with a new pair of eyes, like a breath of fresh air. 3:59 They are embracing the wind (their hardships) and their decisions. They are able to see the world in a new lighting. The two moons converge as one. The scenery takes on a different hue. They are enlightened, on how to find success/find their dreams. Now they are seeing reality as it truly is, they are no longer shaded. This is the "true" path as their true selves TOP MV - The Aftermath of Decision 2 from Aide Effects, Battling against the wind This is the supposed, what if path taken if they decided to take the "safe/easy" route by riding the bus in Side Effects In Chan's Vlive he states how TOP and Levanfer are 2 different universes. Posiblybrepresent the 2 different decisions from Side Effects In TOP, they have not yet been enlightened like in Levanter because they have not grown or learned from any hardships that they would've experienced should they have taken decision 1 and entered Levanter. Instead they are fighting against the wind (fighting their hardships instead of learning and embracing it). Everyone is seen running against the wind, except I.N who isnt struggling. Chan in his Vlive, said that Jeongin isnf fighting against the wind because he has knowledge of both universes. I.N is an all seer that has been in/or has knowledge of Levanter. Thank you if you have read this far along~ Overall Stray Kids has so much admiration from me, because essentially their music is about life. It is about learning and growing through trial and error. They dont just simply lay you the answers of how to approach certain issues, because they are uncertain themselves. There is no "correct answer" to many hardships in life. Instead they bring you along this journery of life by showing their experienced hardships and hurdles through their music. Life isnt so straightforward (like this storyline). But is it's how we make the most of our decisions and our ambitions/dreams that will guide us towards the right place in life. Stay Kids wants you to know that you are not alone in trying to find your place in life. We are all "stray kids" in the world trying to find a home, a meaning to our lives. They hope that through their music they can help console you while they're on their journery and while you too are on your own journey
This explained everything for me, starting from hellevator, where all of them chose to ride the hellevator to go up, higher, closer to their dreams, and decided to move towards their goals. Then to district 9, when they realized that everyone is the same, no one is different, except them. They are the glitch, they are the unmanipulated part of the system, they chose to go to their own path, and get out of where they were. Going to my pace, literally the whole song implying that they will be going at their own path, not others. Next is I am you, implying that they can't reach their goals without each other, saying that I is equals to you, we are all in this together, we trust each other, we will all reach our dreams together, and decided tk move forward. Miroh, the maze they jump in to, they run through it bravely, they did anything they could, but after all that, nothung changed, making them choose an alternative road. The road not taken, yellow wood, which implied that their choices has concequences, side effects, that its hard to reach their goal, makig them doubt their own choice of path, making two moons, representing different choices. Double knot, showing many paths, many roads they can take, doubting their previous choice, the two moons, giving them different choices, and in the end, even tho they are not sure what to do, they chose one door, Levanter. Levanter, implying that what they are all doing is wrong, that they are wrong in relying on their beliefs, that they are wrong in doubting their own choices, therefore they decided to let go of it, they all discarded their tickets, keys, everything they were holding on levanter, and they just relied on each other, having a one complete same goal, making the two moons collide, making all other paths disappear, leaving them one path, their own path they want to go, making one streak of light, the path they are looking for showed in front of them, "It's all good now". GO Live, based on this vid, they are saying that they will become their true selves, making a new arc of their storyline, arc 2. THIS GROUP IS SO FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE, THEY ARE SO GOOD, S T A N STRAY KIDS.
Okay here’s my theory: At the start of I am Not, the government tried to manipulate them, but they one by one realized that they have to get out of there and find their true selves, so they escape. I’m my pace, they look around, wondering “are there others like us?” At the end of the mv they go through a tunnel that leads us to the I am YOU mv. They find a place to stay and be happy, the destination in I am YOU. They want to just stay there and be happy with each other, but decide to leave and continue on their original plan. They arrive in an unknown city called MIROH, they try to make everyone realize that they’re all manipulated by the government, trying to free everyone After days of trying nothing changes so they leave, they take the road not taken, the place no one goes. They’re actions comes with consequences, in hardships they have to rely on each other, they don’t know what they’re doing or where they’re supposed to go. At times when other’s thought about themselves and their desires but skz thought about their own way and not following anyone. Two moons appear, symbolizing two choices. To give up, or carry on. In Levanter, they think they have the key they need to find themselves, but when they realized they don’t need it and let’s it go. When they let it go, the two moons collide, becoming one streak of light. That light is what brings they’re true selves back, they realize that they were the only ones who could bring they’re true selves back, and with that, have their own world, the world they’ve been searching for all along, GO LIVE
You looks pretty clever to me 😉 but regardless it means sense so, this is my favourite theory far away. By the way I can’t believe they just put the mv to order, and explained everything to us. It’s very rare when the groups explain their universe, and I am very thankful for that
Is there like an Oscar award for this sorta story telling in a music video? Or like, for a short series from a musical group?! cause that should be a thing. Geez! This was way more elaborate than most of the super hero movies out now and it’s just ONE group and a few short (song length) cinematic music videos! Give 3racha and Stray Kids a goddamn award for this! Wow.
If they make it into a movie or documentary thing, or like a movie about them and some pasts or how theyre life is or idk I swear i'm telling my mom that i'll be the one to clean,wash,to do the laundry---
Man it's really shocking how they even made these songs. Like they planned it all ahead so that it will make such a storyline. That's legit legendary. Like when you realize all their songs are interconnected, it really is mind blowing! I'm really proud to be a Stay. Love you Skz and love you Stays! Stray kids all around the world!!
SKZ THEORY FROM THE PREQUEL WRITTEN BY: @ soft.minhoe / @ alecaslo.uwu To understand the following theory it is necessary to follow the story of Stray Kids from its beginnings, which would be to see each MV, prologue or MV teaser, everything is super important. I wrote this since I really have everything clear in my mind after seeing the Prequel and I want to share it because many Stays were much more confused after seeing it. After reading this you can see the Prequel again, and I swear you will understand everything. Sorry if there is bad writing, I am Colombian and I do not speak English completely. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In District 9, each member individually begins to notice that all the people around them act the same way, they all walk in one direction and are being controlled, but they are different, Stray Kids are the fault, not just Felix or Chan. As some said, they are ALL the flaws in that system, which means that there are more people who are still trapped in District 9. Chan is the one who realizes that they are literally trapped inside a kind of crystal and thinks about the possibility of getting out of There, he also notes that there are some boys who, like him, are different, so that's how he begins to gather them. Everyone leaves there thinking that they finally broke free from the system, and began to discover the world. In the Prequel it is seen how they go from I am NOT to I am You, but why don't they mention I am WHO before? because this was the only era in which they really learned something essential and it was the questioning who am I really ?, I am WHO is part of their true timeline, but they were desperately running to find an answer, and that's how They came up with an incorrect answer: I am YOU, and they kept making bad decisions thinking they understood what was happening. They arrived in MIROH, the great unknown city, but they realize that everything is the same, everyone is still controlled by a system, they decide to leave there when they see that they couldn't change anything, and they go to YELLOW WOOD '' the road not taken ' 'by means of a key, it is in this era where the two moons are seen, to which they did not pay much attention at first. The two moons suppose two parallel worlds, or else two paths, they thought they had to take only one path, it would be the most logical thing, there are two paths, you have to take one, right? But really this was a big mistake, the first way was comfort, they could take the bus and surrender to the system, the other way would be to fight to create their own way and in this way find themselves. They took the second and reached Double Knot, they had already taken the supposedly correct path, but then why were the two moons still there? It was as if nothing had changed '' many nights passed, but nothing changed '', they were apparently exploring the abandoned city and HyunJin found another key, which took them to Levanter (it is suspicious because it is not known where the keys), this was supposed to be the correct answer eventually, but it was all a catch. The fact that they finally realized it was a cheat is super important, because they look at their entire journey and know they have to '' drop '' to get out of there, this explains the near-final scene of Levanter when they cross the glass door While the lyrics say that they have to let something go, it also explains a little the scene where the elevator burns, they realize that it is taking them in circles, in themselves their expressions in Levanter's MV are like `` how can I not Did we find out earlier? '' It is here when the two moons overlap and shine, they are now aware that they have been taking wrong paths since they left District 9 and also realize that they have always known their '' true self '' since I am WHO, but they were in conflict with what the world taught them and they followed wrong paths and decisions. Now with only one moon, a single reality or world is formed which is GO LIVE, they are rewriting their history from scratch, the Prequel shows a timeline of all their mistakes throughout the trip, for this they do not show I am WHO so in detail. It is important to analyze that for these reasons we were first shown the Double Knot MV before the Clé: LEVANTER album was released, everything is sequential. The paths they took may not have been the right ones, but all of this built the Stray Kids story, all the decisions made and each fall helped them truly understand themselves and mature in and out of the story, literally honoring the name Stray Kids, they were totally lost. ---------------------------------------------------- Needless to clarify that this theory is to understand what they explained in the Stray Kids: Prequel (Highlight Reel), there are other theories like that of the two I.N’s and as it was not explicit in this video, I did not write it here.
Me: (struggles to think of theories, storylines, symbolism, and how everything connects) SKZ: here you go *explains their ENTIRE storyline* Me: ... ... ... well that was easy Edit: why do I feel like I just foreshadowed Easy for myself 💀
But, when we pay attention to detail, it's pretty hard to understand until rn. Like why there are 2 jeongins? or why there are another han instead han in the lift?. And why there is no astronaut mv in this prequel~ but at least we know the main plot :"
@@hanr6340 maybe it has something to do with what chan said in his vlive that TOP is still connected to the storyline and that there's a parallel universe. In this video, when it reached yellow wood, chan said something along the lines of "THEY thought of their own comfort (referring to the other Stray Kids getting into the bus), we thought of our own way (the current Stray Kids). Maybe what we're getting right now with Go Live is only a part of the storyline?
they explained the whole story but not every single/little details that's why some of us are still confused.... but there are theories that somehow able to explain those details, symbolism, elements in their mvs
as a new stay, this video kept popping up in my recommendations and i would always ignore cause i thought this was old like maybe around 2018, but I REGRET IT SO MUCH CAUSE THEY JUST GAVE US A WHOLE THEORY.
being a predebut stan really hits different when you realized you've been with them for almost three years now and you've watched them grow into this wonderful group that you've loved since day one... this makes me feel so nostalgic for some reason 😭
After that :- Go live:- they found their true colors and selves In life:- going back to the world they once rejected (In miroh) All in:- they rebel in the world aka fix the people, change the society from where they ran away once or as chan said "turned their backs on the WORLD' (in district 9) To be continue ~
Nope not at all. This comeback already has so many peoples attention and so many ppl have pre ordered the album. They finally getting the hype they deserve :)
Am I the only who feels like I have this invisible bond with stray kids as a Stay? Every time I go through major changes in my life somehow Stray Kids have a comeback with music that truly speaks to what I’m currently going through and that brings me so much comfort. I’m going through a major change in my life right now. I quit my job because I was feeling really unhappy and wanted to pursue my dreams. I’m scared but I feel like this comeback really came at the right moment.
i have this thing but with another group lol. txt if you were gonna ask- but it seems rude talking about another group here but anyway stray kids is my ult group
so from what my small brain could understand : District 9 was them waking up and realizing how wrong the world is : it's the first step of revolt and breakthrough for them. Leaving that world behind, they seem to have found some sort of happiness and comfort in i am you, a small community perse that they have created. This community seems to grow stronger (the change from basic supplies and abandoned shelters that they used in i am you to technological devices used in Miroh) and they seem to divert their attention from finding themselves to battling the corrupt world to no avail. And so, they decide to leave their community in order to find their true selves as they still have no idea about their identities since they left district 9, yellow wood seems to revolve around how this desire stirs questions that confuses them to the point where they are hurting physically (yellow wood symbolises life as a journey, where the travelers is faced continually with questions about which path to take) so does double knot except they have a clue about their identites : the two moons are seemingly the keys to their hidden selves and it guides them to the right path. Assuming the two moons aligning is the truth they've been looking for, Levanter (a truth they were ready to accept and were getting ready to adapt to that proved its self wrong as the two moons didn't align) wasn't what they were looking for and so they leave again, pondering as the moons guide them again.Go is the last piece in the puzzle : it's the truth they longed for. edit : for those saying i have a big brain sjvss thank you, but what if this turns out to be wrong tho 👀🤡👌
Am I the only one crying after realising literally every single storyline in each music video is linked, thinking how genius, thoughtful and unique stray kids are with their music and knowing fully that supporting them throughout all these years was the best decision we've ever made in our lives? I genuinely wasn't expecting this video, they keep amazing us every day and I'm so grateful for them for making our lives better especially during this hard time our world is in!
First of all, I agree with you so much I'm acc crying after this they have put so much effort into their work and it has really paid off, and it's mostly for stays. They've done amazingly and I love them so much. Second of all, Chan sounds like David Attenborough lmaoo
@@rayaali7447 ikrrr!!! 3 years of hard work on not only their music but also the storylines of their music videos has definitely paid off! They're the best!!! You pointing out that they're doing this for us makes me even more emotional omg :( Omg I didn't think Chan sounds like David Attenborough until you pointed it out hahaha, Chan definitely sounds younger tho xxx
Chan: speaking english throughout the whole video No one: Me: crying because i can finally understand whats going on without having to wait for subtitles
JYP: Here's the theory and storyline, we hope that the fans will understand and go deeper into the story well Stay: *Still confused Chan in his next Vlive: So uh, I heard that some of you guys call yourself stupid, and to be honest, I think it's right. hAha, jUst KidddIng, you guys are not stupid at all
Chan : so we made that video so you could understand the theory but u keep calling urself clowns but u aren't clowns (well I just changed urs a little bit)
I'm so proud of STRAY KIDS specially chan because he trained for 7 years and I feel pity for people who hate him but it doesn't matter jealous and selfish people don't understand that I will always support STRAY KIDS I love you STRAY KIDS
Here if it can help ; They say, people are born different. But why does it feel like we're all the same ? Us brainwashed into the same system they expect perfection. So how can we be different ? A sign, an omen, a glitch. The world took me away from myself. We decided to get out of here and find our true selves. We went towards a small light.. with you. In order to advance forward we threw ourselves into MIROH. We ran around the unknown city without any hesitation. Many nights have passed...but nothing has changed. We turned our backs on the world,..and chose the road not taken. Sometimes, our choice came with consequences. In those times we shared our fears and helplessness, and also relied on each other. At the moment of choice, they thought of their own comfort, we thought of our own way, and so different moons came up with different choices. When we stood in front of the door that day, thinking about the shadow of the moon on the other side...the wind blew. We contemplated about the key we held in our fists. We thought it was the answer, but it was a trap. We think about the road we took. The moment we let you go, the two moons overlapped, becoming one streak of light. The shining light brought back our true selves. Perhaps it was us all along that could have turned the moons into one. In a singular world. GO LIVE. Edit : tysm for the likes 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I swear Stray Kids always knows how to get me excited every single comeback. But this comeback, The excitement just hits 10X harder. I am ready to throw my body and soul into this comeback.
“many nights have passed but noting has changed, we turned our backs to the world and choose the road not taken” ma’am that’s deep and relatable as hell
Watching this after the trailer NOEA(I)SY dropped.. This hits different ... all story related to each other and I think it correlates with the NOEASY trailer... GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY😨
the parallel world started in hellevator and ended in Miroh when they decided to take one path, which is the Road not Taken in yellow wood era. they tried so hard to find their true selves using the keys they had but they realized that "the key was inside of them all along" (which is a line from Levanter english version "the key was inside of me all along) so when they let go of someone/something, they found their true selves and the two moons collided and became a singular world. as they stepped outside the door in Levanter, they went back to the same place in Hellevator, but since the two moons collided, they are starting a new life. Go Life, simply tells us that life must go on no matter how hard it gets as long as you are being true to yourself. this is all about their life's journey from being normal kids to being trainees and to being who they are right now as artists. and i'm so happy to walk with them in this journey.

Stays: *trying to make theories*
Chan: *shhh sit down and listen*
And we...
*STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING*
Zeeb Ilyas I understand it tho :D
This reminds me of the English debate when Jisung told everyone to sit down then they immediately did 😂
And so we did
LMAO
So in summary:
Hellevator (my theory): stray kids enter a hellavator instead of going down it goes up sort of implying they are going up to achieve their dreams. the hellavator is like all their doubts and negative thoughts but they're channeling this to hope, giving what they need to go up upon the hellavator. They reach the floor which is district 9 this is possibly a trial to see if they can reach their final goal.
District 9: they were being held captive and taught to all be the same, they realised that something was wrong (a glitch) that all of them were different. So they escaped to look for what they were searching for.
I am you: They escaped and realising what they needed, they relied on eachother "you" and wanted to advance so they headed to miroh.
Miroh: Seeing how corrupted the world was they wanted to take a road that was not taken (yellow wood).
Yellow wood: there was Two choices that they could have went through (one where they took the bus) and one where they didn't, this represents that whatever choice they made there was a consequence or sacrifice that had to be made.
Double knot: they realised that they themselves had to come up with their choices and not let anyone else choose or give them the choices for them. They see two moons that represent two different choices, curious they find a key that led to a door to which they thought would be the answer.
Levanter: Realising the key they had was a trap they let go of it, they relied on it for so long. In which the two moons collided, revealing their true selves.
Hope this helped? I'm quite bad at explaining so I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well 😅
Edit: thank you for all your comments! :) I forgot to mention Hellevator so sorry about that :')
this makes sense thoo
but levanter was ended right so that means this cb will be the answer to that?
GENIUS
Ok but...I love how u took the time to type out all this and good for u, I understand!! ❤❤💞😊😊😊😊
Istg you're the only stay with braincells
At this point, Stray Kids MV's are better than some movies out there.
FACTS
Cant wait for the movie.
Thanks for the likes! This comment is my best one so far
Period
PERIODT
TRUE
My Stray Kids Universe theory:
The members are in a dystopian world where they’re brainwashed into a system that expects perfection. They’re told they’re all different but for some reason they still feel like they’re all the same. In order to break out of that “system” to find themselves, they created their own District. District 9 is a safe place for anyone around the world who feels astray. A Haven where you can be yourself and Step Out of societal norms.
The whole I Am mini album series is trying to identify who they are as individuals. (I Am Not, I Am Who, I Am You) So it’s like questioning yourself. If I Am Not who they say I am, then Who am I? The mv for I Am You, can be interpreted in your own way just like many open ended Stray Kids songs but at the end of the day the members had the same goals to reach their ambitions and dreams as one team which led them to take the Hellevator to start their journey together.
When they embark the first “key” in their journey, Clé 1: Miroh (Clé is French for key & Miro means maze in Korean meanwhile the “h” in Miroh stands for heaven or hell depending on how their path goes) they enter the maze but when they tried to escape the maze, the hellavator brought them back to the same systematic society that they tried to run away from. So they rebelled and took the Road Not Taken or in other words choosing their own paths instead of “being guided.” Which brings us to the 2nd key, Clé 2: Yellow Wood mini album.
Side Effects is the most essential part of this whole Stray Kids journey and the way I viewed Side Effects was like a fork in the road. One path leads to the New World where everything they do is led by the system and guided with comfort but the 2nd path is the hard path to the unknown led by their own actions. These paths turn into 2 universes that chronologically happen at the same time and according to Chan, IN is the “glitch in the matrix” so he’s conscious of both worlds where they take the bus to the New World vs the off-road path, where they experience frustrations and dead ends but comfort each other and stay together despite the challenges.
In Levanter they showed both of the parallel universes. It starts off with Stray Kids in their apocalyptic world (where they chose their own path) staring at the door to the parallel world and then the mv enters through the keyhole into the universe to the New World in the same fields you’ll recognize from Hellavator.
The word Levanter is translated as a Mediterranean wind and we see the part where they feel the wind in the New World and follow its way through the doorway that parallel Chan is guiding them into. Notice that the members went from one field into another field when they walked through the door. It may represent being at a plateau in your career or life or whatever aspirations you might have. Sometimes people stay at their jobs for a long time and it’s bc they’ve become comfortable and they don’t want to move up in their careers bc they’re happy where they’re at. Which is okay but for Stray Kids they want more out of their careers and their lives so in order to grow they had to let go of that comfort. This explains why IN is “the glitch” bc he’s symbolic for that very reason. He’s the representation of struggling between comfort and growth.
Speaking of growth, the reason why the members have cuts on their faces is found in their TOP mv (jap vers.) The members fight against the Mediterranean wind (facing their challenges head on from making their own choices) which explains the cuts on their faces in Double Knot/Levanter and why they’re always found running bc they’re chasing after their goals even if they get hurt along the way.
They realized that they didn’t need a “key” to guide them through their journeys bc all they needed was themselves. Which 1) is why they burned the one way ticket to the New World and the Hellavator. And 2) why the 3rd mini album is called Clé: Levanter and not Clé 3, bc there is no 3rd key, they’re the key to opening whatever paves their way to their own successes.
As Levanter concludes its chapter in the Clé series by watching the moons collide in the New World, Go Live album/God’s Menu continues where Levanter left off from the other side (apocalyptic universe’s perspective) from the moment the 2 moons collided (explains why the red and white moons are on opposite sides) and two halves of themselves and the universes become one.
IN Life repackaged album represents the boys starting a Stray Kids rebellion by entering restricted places led by the system and sneaking through the back door. They Unlock District 9 for everyone not only Stays, to welcome an open haven for all.
This all seems like it’s about their journey through the kpop industry. You know? Stray Kids are rising to the top (just like what they wanted in Miroh) and they’re changing kpop by influencing how different they are and breaking out of the established system. Their song Haven concludes the Go Live album, and the lyrics literally say “Step out, do what you want”. Pretty much emphasizing, being your true self. Do whatever you want and live your best life no matter what anyone says. Hence why the repackaged album is called Insaeng which means “one’s life” - Go Live In Life
*Symbols & more theories:*
-Peter Pan and the lost boys is a recurring theme in the Stray Kids universe, Stray Kids can also mean “lost boys” and District 9 can be interpreted as skz’s version of Neverland and may also explain why “Captain Hook” is featured in most of their mv’s, as one of the politicians in Miroh, bus driver with the hook tattoo on his hand in Side Effects, security guard in Backdoor, and gangster leader in ALL IN.
-In Levanter, IN and Felix’s choreography where Felix stands behind IN like a shadow portrays letting go of your comfort or whatever may be holding you back from your true self.
-In Levanter, Felix’s “It’s all good now” can mean “I’m going to follow my heart, I’ll be okay” especially holding the “Broken Compass” in his hand. 3racha created a song called Broken Compass (which was recreated into Mixtape 4) and had inspiration from Pirates of the Caribbean. If you haven’t seen the movie, the main character Jack Sparrow has a compass that people think doesn’t work bc it doesn’t have the typical North, South, East and West. Little do they know it’s a magical compass that is not broken it leads a person to what their heart desires the most. So for Stray Kids, they’re letting us know they’re not following the basic structure of moving up the ladder of success or in this case pyramid (hint hint pyramid in Levanter) to get to the top. They’re following their own paths and doing whatever they want .
-Hyunjin is found lost and running into cross roads in Double Knot, TMT, and Astronaut bc he’s a metaphor for uncertainty, confusion, and “not knowing which path to take.”
-The bird that flies in Miroh might symbolize “the system” which is also the same bird that flies off of the door to the New World (universe led by the system) in Levanter
-The Astronaut mv is the comfortable parallel which explains why they’re so happy and Hyunjin runs into their systematic clones. Like I mentioned earlier, IN is the “glitch” so he sees the struggle Hyunjin experiences in Astronaut and is shown by himself sitting alone with the parallel moons at the end of Astronaut and sitting alone while everyone is running in the TOP mv.
-At the end of Side Effects the boys find Hyunjin sleeping, Astronaut could be Hyunjin dreaming? And it picks back up when Chan wakes him up in Levanter. Not the mv itself but the Levanter choreography starts off with Chan “waking up” Hyunjin just like when he woke him up at the end of the Side Effects mv.
-The Mirror choreo that’s shown by Changbin and Hyunjin in Levanter is symbolic for their parallel universes which is why the Red Moon and White Moon are on opposite sides in Levanter and in the GO生 trailer.
God’s Menu mv:
*God concept:* They’re the creators of their masterpieces
*Science lab/Construction Site:* They construct and experiment w/ genres, lyrics and concepts (God’s Menu concept possibly inspired by Alchemistry by 3racha)
*Chef concept:* Food comes in different flavors just like their music
*Racetrack:* Competition in the music industry

You are amazing and this is so far the most complete and well explained theory I've encountered so far, my mind's blown. I finally understood it, it makes so much sense. The staff that produced this whole storyline really did it well, but a bit hard to understand lol.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us mortals ❤️
stray freckles Aw, thank you so much! I know, I’ve seen so many theories but ever since I made this theory I understand the entire skz universe a lot more. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me lol
*mind blown*
This is amazing. My brain could never
thank you very much for sharing your theory
Stray kids: literally gives us the whole meaning and story.
Stay: we still don’t get what’s going on:/
Don’t you get it???
I mean YES it is very confusing... but here’s the gist of whats going on:
All the mvs, everything it was all connected... at the start, district 9 and I AM NOT... they were breaking out of the place... because they wanted to break out the mould the world put them in... so they broke out of that facility, to find their selves (district 9)
Had fun for a while with us Stays
Went to a place called Miroh to move forward... a while later, they gave up, left that world, went to a road not taken (side effects mv) consequences of their actions... shows moons the two moons in the mvs, Levanter.... keys were actually a trap, thought about how far they went, moment they left us realised the two moons overlapped, gave them a wake up call... therefore G0 LIVE!!!!!
Super confusing but I tried...
I'm just here for the music and not the theories (my brain couldn't handle it anyway)
I think its still not the whole story..
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA YEAHYEAHYEAH HAHAHA
I AM CONFUSE
Chan: *told stays to figure it out for ourselves and make theories*
Also chan: *explains the whole story line because we’re clowns*

yaaassshh
RIP MY BRAINCELLS
after a month i finally get it, only stray kids could think of something like this and tie all their music videos into one seamless storyline and it makes so much sense now - they were trapped in the system and realised it wasnt them so they left together trying to survive in I am you then decided to step into the maze, as in take down those who oppressed them but when they saw that there was no change they decided to leave and go to a 'utopia' of sorts in the yellow wood on the 'Road not Taken' but as we all know a perfect world doesnt exist so they experienced the 'Side Effects', when they tried to escape with the wind in 'levanter' they realised the promise of a new world was fake and that the answer was within themselves so in Go Live they finally woke up from their dream/nightmare and are now going to take whats theirs and live their lives making the music they want to. I cant wait for the bright future with stray kids.
This is the best summary I've seen so far
now we have in life you explained it perfectly
WOW. thank you so much, I am having goosebumps. And then with Go live... IN LIFE. Wow. Just wow. That is crazy genius! THANK YOU!!!!
They'll now go noisy (noeasy)
Thanks❤❤
Stray Kids actually explaining their storyline?? I am: in shOCK
Heyyy I love you girl 😁
HAHAHAHAH
I always watch your videos ❤
Do I have a headache cuz of it? ofc I do(:
I need subtitlee
So you're telling me THIS WAS ALL PLANNED SINCE DISTRICT 9 ERA?????
*LEGENDS*
i think ever since hellevator era
Top 10 mysterious thing that have finally been revealed 😱😱
@@hanjizone1842 yeah since Hellevator, it has been skz concept
I am feeling like a clown bc I haven’t understood util now 👁👄👁
So is that suppost to mean that they explained every thing of there songs here.?
Chan is literally a mastermind.
He's the best.
This story is unbelievably awesome.
Stray Kids really deserves the best.
He made it?
you saying chan's the mastermind literally remind me of something. while I.N knew everything, chan is the one that decided to change how they live (starting with giving them a paper when he is scanning their barcode).
then in astronaut, he's the one that keep contacting the members and pursued them to enter the elevator (or the ship idk).
in levanter, I.N weren't left alone. when he looks a bit hesitant to enter the elevator, chan touch his shoulder and kinda asked him why he's not entering then I.N just shakes his head while entering the elevator.
I feel like chan's the mastermind in this and bruh what's on the bus guy's hand? it's like a tattoo or something (2:48). idk man my head is going cuckoo banana while thinking of these theories.
@@opheliaforgetmenots damn! Now I have to go rewatch all of their videos in order
I rewatch it many times but still can't get it *am I that dumb? *
So after that they decided to open a restaurant
_END OF DISCUSSION_ .
HAHAHAHAHA
LOLOLOLOL
🤣🤣🤣
this comment 💀💀
And they invite customers from back door and there you go ALLL IINN!! STAYS CANT STOP WE WANT MORE so let see what’s next i kinda want skz make an album titled NEW WORLD yeah~
Theory time:
Okay, so the ‘I am’ series up to ‘Miroh’ is pretty much easy to interpret; they were being manipulated by the system to conform, so they broke out and found themselves in Miroh where it was basically a bigger version of the same system. That’s when they decided to find their own place where they can be themselves.
So ‘Yellow Wood’ is where it got confusing so here’s my theory based on Chan’s monologue.
“At the moment of choice, they thought of their own comfort; we thought of our own way. And so, different moons came up with different choices.”
-This adressed how the parallel worlds were created. In the Side Effects teaser 1, it showed skz going on the bus and skz staying at the bus stop. In Side Effects M/V, it showed the two moons symbolizing the creation of the parallel worlds through this choice.
“When we stood in front of the door that day, thinking about the shadow of the moon on the other side... the wind blew.”
-So in Levanter M/V, we see two skz: the ones in the fields and the ones in the city. The ones in the fields are the ones who chose comfort, the latter are the ones who chose their own way. In the perspective of the ones in the city, it also signifies how they were doubting the choice to go their own way and thinking of the ‘what if’ they rode the bus. On the other side, the ones who chose the bus were faced with the realization that perhaps, the comfort they have was a deception to take them away from who they really are and what their original goal was. The phrase the wind blew often means change. So this shows how both skz from both worlds were thinking of the choices they made and the decisions they have to make moving forward.
“We contemplated about the key we held in our hands. We thought it was the answer but it was a trap.”
-This is said through the perspective of the ones who chose the rode not taken. Since they kept the key (elevator), they always have the option to go back or run somewhere else. These options turned out to be also deceiving (a trap) as it led them away to what’s really important. Which is in the end, to accept what comes their way head on and trust in themselves that they can make it through. So they burned down the passage itself (At 1:45 in Levanter MV, they burned down the elevator and the ticket to the new world that they kept all along).
“The moment we let you go, the two moons overlapped, becoming one streak of light. The shining light brought back our true selves.”
-The ‘you’ is the doubt that came with the skz who chose their own way. In the Side Effects MV, it showed the anxiousness of skz if their decision to stay at the bus stop was correct. When they finally accepted the repurcussions that came with their choice to go their own way, this showcased them letting go of their doubt and anxiousness. The ‘you’ can also be ‘comfort’ for the skz who rode the bus. They chose comfort over their initial goal. At 2:14 and 2:22 of the Levanter MV we can see that the color of the fields are different from each side of the door. When they pass through to the other side, it symbolizes the skz who chose comfort finally deciding to choose the road not taken as well (choosing their own way). Thus, we can see the moons converging into one.
“Perhaps it was us all along that could have turned the moon into one.”
-The story somehow shows that both option (riding the bus towards comfort or stayin at the bus stop to go their own way) came with deception because in the end, they just had to trust themselves and the choices they make to fulfill their original goal.
“In a singular world, go live.”
-With their upcoming comeback, we’ll see what happens now that theyre ready to fulfill their goals head on.
Necesito que alguien traduzca esto yaaaa
This acc makes sense. Now im even more hyped for the comeback, didnt know that was possible
Your theory is the one I prefer!
The theory I had thought of all by myself is really really close to yours and I hope we are on the right way to solving this..
Reading this filled some gaps in my theory so THANK YOU 🥰
Is it all gonna end, if they find their self and the moons combined, the story is over, yeah?
stays: trying best to make a correct theory
skz : don't worry we got u (;
I still don’t understand 😅
And the theory got too far so they just decide to feeding us the right theory but i mean we're clowns so- none of my braincells are working rn
They actually explain their storyline

*THE CONTEXT OF THE HIGHLIGHT REEL*
They say, people are born different
But why does it feel like we're all the same?
Us brainwashed into the same system
They expect perfection
So how can we be diferent?
A sign, an omen, a, a GLITCH
The world took me away from myself
We decide to get out of here
And find our true self
We went towards a small light with you
In order to advance forward,
We threw ourselves into miroh
We ran around the unknown city,
Without any hesitation
Many nights have passed
But nothing... has changed
We turned our backs on the world
And chose the road not taken
Sometimes, our choices came with consequences
In those times we shared our fears and helplessness
And also relied on each other
At the moment of choice
They thought of their own comfort
We thought of our own way
And so different moons
Came up with different choices
When we stood in front of the door that day
Thinking about the shadow of the moon of the other side
The wind blew
We contemplated about the key we held in our fists
We thought it was the answer
But it was a trap
We think about the road we took
The moment we let you go
The two moons overlapped becoming one streak of light
The shining light brought out our true selves
Perhaps it was us all along
That could have turned the moons
Into one
In a singular world,
Go live.

it rlly do be like that tho
Tbh more stays (and non stays) should know about this. I'm so tired of people saying that stray kids doesn't have originality and a concept. Spread the word stays! Let's brag about this masterpiece please.
Skz are the last ppl to be accused of not having originality, even their individual song concepts are top tier....like are ppl this dumb or just ignorant??? Their concept and storyline is byfar the best along with txt and dreamcatcher! People should appreciate the way they create parallels with reality and imagination, and give us a Web of values to pick from it. These things arnt easy to do since they don't even hv a fantasy concept. Their concept is much more closer to reality and the varied depictions of it. And these varied depictions form skz's storyline.
Skz hv the most unique group concept, their concept is "reality " itself..they keep repeating the word "real" countless times in their trailers and this vid too. Their storyline revolves around "truth", like changbin said,
"Their is NO lie on skz music".
To me this is the most fascinating thing ever, they way they connect imagination with reality, and form a bridge for us to take a taste of both worlds is incredibly thought out.
I love their approach!

skz: *releases a summary of all of their mvs*
😂 Not me actually needing it tho-
Stay: Oh it’s a theory video
*Chan’s narrating with his charming voice*
Stay: Oh no it’s a asmr video
😂😂
This gave me goosebumps... as a sci-fi, action, dystopian movies fan I really hope they make a movie about these theories 💀
here’s what i think this video means:
In *Hellavator* they entered an elevator to take them through their journey of their debut which brought them to all the different levels.
the “level” *District 9* showed them how society expects them to be, perfect and the same as every other person and or artist in the industry. But freed themselves and went on to the next level
the “level” *I am You* helped them realize they are different from all of the other artists and that they only have each other to make a difference happen. Once they realized this they went to the next level
the “level” *Miroh* helped show them that people were being brainwashed as to what rules they should follow which then gave StrayKids the motivation to take over the city and then leave to the next level before they could be attacked by a higher power and potentially be shut down
the “level” *yellow wood* gave them the option of two paths to take, the one everyone followed or the one that was yet to be discovered. Which is why Chan said that they “chose the road not taken” also the side effects mv could’ve displayed all the effects they felt and went through because they were choosing a different path which had and not done before. This also led to them getting into fights with each other cause some had disbelief of even making it out
the “level” *Double knot* tested to see if they were strong enough to untie the knot that held them into the “perfect” mentality and put them through challenges to help them find that the the key they thought held everything and even their future was false and they still had another level to “unlock”
the “last level” which was *Levanter* helped lead them through the door that led them out of the dark and into the colorful world they had worked so hard to reach. In this video I.N was hesitant to leave it all behind but Chan encouraged him. Then the two moons became one and led them through the light to start their new journey
this is just my interpretation but feel free to add anything else you might have that I don’t
edit- the _GO_ teaser is filmed at a race course what if this is them finishing their race down the undiscovered path after racing for so long cause in the teaser the stray kids car is the car that crosses the finish line. In *My pace* they were racing in a tunnel and now in _GO_ they have made it out
omg your brain,it amazes me
even after I read that I don't know why I s feel like I still didn't understand the storyline ;-;
I need to read this again- tysm for this!

@@卡琳娜-z6v
yes
So here's my take of the storyline. I'm taking into fact the mvs and the whole album's message/meanings, since SKZ's storyline although a story relates to real life meanings. (This is just my fun interpretation)
Hellevator - The gateway to their dreams
The members have started from the bottom, Hell. The Hellevator despite its name, is their embraced gateway to success. The Hellavator represents/is the embodiment of their struggles in life that theyve overcome and that will carry them to their dreams and successes. The Hellevator is vital in being the transporter to their next chapters in life (especially seen in Cle series, where the keys found is used in the Hellevator to bring them to the next mv)
I am NOT (District 9) - Rejecting a Perfect Society
Stray Kids are trapped in a dystopian universe, while be shackled down by society to act a certain way in the eyes of others. However they escape free from this dystopian dimension, breaking through the barrier in the bus. They realize that they are NOT what other people say they are they must find their own identity. They must learn to live by their own standards as a unique individual.
Throughout the mv there are static sounds and sirens. The siren declare their escape to freedom as a warning but also a declaration of rebelling social standards/expectations. The static is shown from this mv and through all mvs. It's a signal of imperfection, a "glitch". They are the glitches in the dystopian system, because they are deemed imperfect by society's standards for not following the masses. However SKZ break free. Theyre saying it's ok to be imperfect/differenr because that makes us human and all special/of importance. Being different allows one to shine to form their own identity
I am WHO - Finding & Questioning their own identity
SKZ escaped the dystopian universe into another world/dimension. They have deemed that the identities that others have imposed on them are NOT who they want to be (I am NOT). But now, they are confused. Just WHO are they then. In the My Pace mv and this whole album they're trying to find out who they truly are. What is their purpose, what makes them themselves. After living a lie so long in I am NOT, they are finally able to actually live. This segement is where they question and start the journey of discovering their true selves
Note: The static effects are in this mv, confirming that they are still glitches/imperfections in the eyes of society (the cameras)
I am YOU - Discovering their purpose and identity
I am YOU is the end of the I am Trilogy. Essentially this part is vital in their journey, for theyve finally realized who they are. They are YOU. In other words they realized that they have become the person they are today thanks to all the support from Stays, their peers, each other and any figure in their lives that has impacted them. They have learned and grown through the interactions of YOU. At this point, they are at peace with themselves. They finally understand and are grateful to have grown to be the individuals they are today because of their experiences, hardships, and trials theyve faced. However now they are eager to truly make the most of their life and enjoy it after this realization. They now seek to travel the path of growing and living life, and enjoying it as their newly realized true selves. The Clé Series accomplishes this
Note: We can say that the hardships and trials of escaping I am NOT and being self reflective in I am WHO, in reality relates to real life experiences the SKZ members and many people have gone through. Hence the whole I am Trilogy isnt just a typical storyline, it's an analogy to real life experiences. The I am Series is about self discovery, about finding and embracing yourself.
CLE SERIES - SKZ find keys throughout their journey of life. They believe the keys is a designated path that will bring them to success/achieve their dreams
Cle Series: Miroh - Life is a Maze that when entered can determine your future.
The Cle series is a new chapter in their life. 1:44 Now they are traveling different worlds/realms to find the path to "success"/their dreams, to grow, and to find meaning with their newly realized identities as individual. They want to explore, learn more about themselves and grow.
Miroh is the 1st world they enter with the Hellevator bringing them up from Hell to eventually Heaven/their dreams. Miroh is a play of words "Miro" which means maze in Korean (hence the maze Album cover logo and Maze of Memories song). The added H, Chan said stands for Heaven and/or Hell. In Miroh, the message is that life will give you twist and turns like a maze. Certain decisions on how to traverse life/maze will bring you to Heaven/your dreams. Other decisions may not be so fortunous and bring you to Hell
In the Miroh world, they seek to bring a revolution, a rebellion against a society similar to I am NOT. However we see that nothing gets accomplished in the mv. No actual rebellion happens 2:16 . They realize this event (another hardship in life) isnt yet a hurdle they can jump over. They need to grow more before they face Miroh head on. They go back to the Hellevator while finding a new key. This key opens the next chapter in their life, by using the Hellevator to enter a new realm that will impact their life
Cle 2: Yellow Wood (Side Effects) - The Side Effects/ consequences of your decisions in Life affect your future
Side Effects is EXTREMELY important to the future events/mvs of the story and holds a lot of becays of the its overall message
SKZ enter this new world from using the key they found in Miroh. They enter Side Effects realm where they are met with the Yellow Wood tree. Referencing Robert Frost's Poem - The Road Bot Taken, the poem explain that the roads splits paths at the Yellow Wood Tree
2:41 At this point the YellowWood Trailer and Side Effects mv depicts 2 different realities due to the 2 decisions made ( 3:14 hence the 2 moons, representing the clash of 2 realities/worlds). One decision is them taking the bus that leads them to TOP. The other decision is them forgoing the bus and deciding to travel on their own that leads them to Levanter. From here on, Side Effects mv mostly depicts the decision to forgo the bus
3:10 Decision 1: Forgoing the bus, and using the car to drive their own path
On this decision they faced major struggles, hardships and hurdles. They decided not to take the bus/the easy way in life. Through this decision their relationship grows strained. Tension rises as they question if this path was the right path because of all the hurdles theyve faced so far. They begin to doubt themselves and this path theyve chosen. These doubts, worries, uncertainties and anxiety is the "side effects" or unwanted consequences they are facing as a result of their decision. The lyrics mention how "the pain hurted more, possibly because I had so much confidence" It's like when you feel you can do anything and then get beaten down. That hurts even more than expecting to not do well, because it's unexpected and unwanted. Just like side effects of a medication or in this case and action, are unwanted yet consequential.
However, hardships experienced are never in vain. Despite their heads hurting in confusion of what path is right and what is wrong, they realize its not worth it to worry about the uncertainty. They decide to group togetehr and move on. While admist this hardship they have forgotten to find the next key. They instead journey and stumble upon Levanter
3:07 Decision 2: Take the bus/the guided "easy path"
This path is not heavily explored. However it is implied that they chose the "easy path" where they weren't able to grow and learn from any hardships since they were not experienced on this path. They still have the mindset to find the keys. It is assumed that they did find a key and went to TOP realm
.
(Continuation of comment. Wow I exceeded the comment word limit. So sorry for the length. But SKZ meanings shouldn't be glossed over shallowly haha)
Cle 3: Levanter - Embrace the wind and your OWN path to success, a new breath of fresh air
This is the ending to the Cle trilogy. SKZ have endured tremendous obstacles and hardships. They are uncertain that the path they took (decision 1) will bring then to success, however the struggles have made them even closer to each other
3:45 In Levanter they realize that they dont need the keys to reach their success. The members realize that they are their own keys and that there are no actual objects that will lay out & unlock path of success for them. Hence in real life, success is not laid out on a path that is given to you (the keys), instead success is found through yourself by trial and error. SKZ themselves are the ones that should be deciding their own future, since their own decisions have the power to guide them to their dreams, not some keys. Hence the lyrics, "I wanna be myself.....the person I needed was me (Kor vers) I needed to find me. They key was inside of me all along (Eng Vers)". At this point they reject finding anymore keys, burn the Hellevator, and they burn the Ticket to the New World, (cause they dont need a promised plan to success laid out to them). They instead stumble upon a new gate, possibly unlocked by themselves after their realization.
This realization is when they are able to see the world with a new pair of eyes, like a breath of fresh air. 3:59 They are embracing the wind (their hardships) and their decisions. They are able to see the world in a new lighting. The two moons converge as one. The scenery takes on a different hue. They are enlightened, on how to find success/find their dreams. Now they are seeing reality as it truly is, they are no longer shaded. This is the "true" path as their true selves
TOP MV - The Aftermath of Decision 2 from Aide Effects, Battling against the wind
This is the supposed, what if path taken if they decided to take the "safe/easy" route by riding the bus in Side Effects
In Chan's Vlive he states how TOP and Levanfer are 2 different universes. Posiblybrepresent the 2 different decisions from Side Effects
In TOP, they have not yet been enlightened like in Levanter because they have not grown or learned from any hardships that they would've experienced should they have taken decision 1 and entered Levanter. Instead they are fighting against the wind (fighting their hardships instead of learning and embracing it). Everyone is seen running against the wind, except I.N who isnt struggling. Chan in his Vlive, said that Jeongin isnf fighting against the wind because he has knowledge of both universes. I.N is an all seer that has been in/or has knowledge of Levanter.
Thank you if you have read this far along~ Overall Stray Kids has so much admiration from me, because essentially their music is about life. It is about learning and growing through trial and error. They dont just simply lay you the answers of how to approach certain issues, because they are uncertain themselves. There is no "correct answer" to many hardships in life. Instead they bring you along this journery of life by showing their experienced hardships and hurdles through their music. Life isnt so straightforward (like this storyline). But is it's how we make the most of our decisions and our ambitions/dreams that will guide us towards the right place in life. Stay Kids wants you to know that you are not alone in trying to find your place in life. We are all "stray kids" in the world trying to find a home, a meaning to our lives. They hope that through their music they can help console you while they're on their journery and while you too are on your own journey
How do you save a comment?
I guess this is the era where I find out stays are geniuses. Love ya’ll
Very detailed explanation I like it
Can't believe this comment has only 71 likes! It's a really good explanation, thank you
This explained everything for me, starting from hellevator, where all of them chose to ride the hellevator to go up, higher, closer to their dreams, and decided to move towards their goals. Then to district 9, when they realized that everyone is the same, no one is different, except them. They are the glitch, they are the unmanipulated part of the system, they chose to go to their own path, and get out of where they were. Going to my pace, literally the whole song implying that they will be going at their own path, not others. Next is I am you, implying that they can't reach their goals without each other, saying that I is equals to you, we are all in this together, we trust each other, we will all reach our dreams together, and decided tk move forward. Miroh, the maze they jump in to, they run through it bravely, they did anything they could, but after all that, nothung changed, making them choose an alternative road. The road not taken, yellow wood, which implied that their choices has concequences, side effects, that its hard to reach their goal, makig them doubt their own choice of path, making two moons, representing different choices. Double knot, showing many paths, many roads they can take, doubting their previous choice, the two moons, giving them different choices, and in the end, even tho they are not sure what to do, they chose one door, Levanter. Levanter, implying that what they are all doing is wrong, that they are wrong in relying on their beliefs, that they are wrong in doubting their own choices, therefore they decided to let go of it, they all discarded their tickets, keys, everything they were holding on levanter, and they just relied on each other, having a one complete same goal, making the two moons collide, making all other paths disappear, leaving them one path, their own path they want to go, making one streak of light, the path they are looking for showed in front of them, "It's all good now". GO Live, based on this vid, they are saying that they will become their true selves, making a new arc of their storyline, arc 2. THIS GROUP IS SO FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE, THEY ARE SO GOOD, S T A N STRAY KIDS.
Deadpool The Cat a genius HAHAHA I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING
woah this actually makes sense thank you
Ima be honest rn
Out of all the descriptions of this that I've seen. *This actually makes sense to me*
this needs more likes.. thank u
Deadpool The Cat thank you so much !! 🥺 this deserves so much likes wtf this deserves more recognition! 💗
This guys are making a movie out of all of their concepts damn boyzzzz that creativity tho
When Stray Kids already gave out the answers to all the theories
Meanwhil a Stay like me: *still processing the beauty of this MV*
Okay here’s my theory:
At the start of I am Not, the government tried to manipulate them, but they one by one realized that they have to get out of there and find their true selves, so they escape.
I’m my pace, they look around, wondering “are there others like us?” At the end of the mv they go through a tunnel that leads us to the I am YOU mv.
They find a place to stay and be happy, the destination in I am YOU. They want to just stay there and be happy with each other, but decide to leave and continue on their original plan.
They arrive in an unknown city called MIROH, they try to make everyone realize that they’re all manipulated by the government, trying to free everyone
After days of trying nothing changes so they leave, they take the road not taken, the place no one goes.
They’re actions comes with consequences, in hardships they have to rely on each other, they don’t know what they’re doing or where they’re supposed to go. At times when other’s thought about themselves and their desires but skz thought about their own way and not following anyone.
Two moons appear, symbolizing two choices. To give up, or carry on.
In Levanter, they think they have the key they need to find themselves, but when they realized they don’t need it and let’s it go. When they let it go, the two moons collide, becoming one streak of light.
That light is what brings they’re true selves back, they realize that they were the only ones who could bring they’re true selves back, and with that, have their own world, the world they’ve been searching for all along, GO LIVE
this too ahhhh perfect! but still, we don't know if it's the end or just the beginning of a new chapter since they finally figured it all out.
You looks pretty clever to me 😉 but regardless it means sense so, this is my favourite theory far away. By the way I can’t believe they just put the mv to order, and explained everything to us. It’s very rare when the groups explain their universe, and I am very thankful for that
OMG yes yes yes...
How old are you?
Omg why this so accurate? co stays are really smart
Can we share braincells coz i lack of it lol

my dream is to become a movie director and a writer... if i achieve this i will surely make a movie out of straykids journey
Oh so that's why every mini album is like an episode. The full album is like *the finale.*
Don’t say that. That makes it sound like skz will be over after this😭😂
No, I think after this they'll be having another series lol.
That's only the beginning!!
Season 1. Then Season 2 comes
Yeah, this is like the prequel right?
When we talk about concept, STRAY KIDS ARE THE KINGS.
KINGS OF DEEP CONCEPTS.
jyp artists have the best meanings hands down
this can be a *NETFLIX SERIES*
no one doubt me.
i see you again-
I WOULD LOVE THAT
... And continue into a movie nakdnksns
You mean, NETFELIX .. RiGhT ?
@@mitskisson NWJFWJKRBDAHAHAH THAT'S GENIUS
Is there like an Oscar award for this sorta story telling in a music video? Or like, for a short series from a musical group?! cause that should be a thing. Geez! This was way more elaborate than most of the super hero movies out now and it’s just ONE group and a few short (song length) cinematic music videos! Give 3racha and Stray Kids a goddamn award for this! Wow.
i feel like once they get bigger this might become a documentary or movie.
If they make it into a movie or documentary thing, or like a movie about them and some pasts or how theyre life is or idk
I swear i'm telling my mom that i'll be the one to clean,wash,to do the laundry---
Wohh! I’m totally down to that
Same! Skz legends
It better become one
I sometimes accidentally raise the tone of my voice, especially when asking 😂
so they're basically saying they had to go through all of those mini-albums to finally go live and drop one true album? love ittttt
_predebut stans i can literally hear y'all crying from all the way over here. come here let's all have one massive group hug_
PLEASE I REALLY NEED IT
PLS. OMG IM CRYINGGGG.
Hugs
YESS I NEED A GROUP HUG
I need it...
Right now.
Man it's really shocking how they even made these songs. Like they planned it all ahead so that it will make such a storyline. That's legit legendary. Like when you realize all their songs are interconnected, it really is mind blowing! I'm really proud to be a Stay. Love you Skz and love you Stays! Stray kids all around the world!!
All these theories and i still understand only one thing:
their hair color changes every time.
Ahri Yona 😂 but Minho with red hair in the go teaser i-
SKZ THEORY FROM THE PREQUEL
WRITTEN BY: @ soft.minhoe / @ alecaslo.uwu
To understand the following theory it is necessary to follow the story of Stray Kids from its beginnings, which would be to see each MV, prologue or MV teaser, everything is super important.
I wrote this since I really have everything clear in my mind after seeing the Prequel and I want to share it because many Stays were much more confused after seeing it.
After reading this you can see the Prequel again, and I swear you will understand everything.
Sorry if there is bad writing, I am Colombian and I do not speak English completely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In District 9, each member individually begins to notice that all the people around them act the same way, they all walk in one direction and are being controlled, but they are different, Stray Kids are the fault, not just Felix or Chan. As some said, they are ALL the flaws in that system, which means that there are more people who are still trapped in District 9. Chan is the one who realizes that they are literally trapped inside a kind of crystal and thinks about the possibility of getting out of There, he also notes that there are some boys who, like him, are different, so that's how he begins to gather them. Everyone leaves there thinking that they finally broke free from the system, and began to discover the world.
In the Prequel it is seen how they go from I am NOT to I am You, but why don't they mention I am WHO before? because this was the only era in which they really learned something essential and it was the questioning who am I really ?, I am WHO is part of their true timeline, but they were desperately running to find an answer, and that's how They came up with an incorrect answer: I am YOU, and they kept making bad decisions thinking they understood what was happening.
They arrived in MIROH, the great unknown city, but they realize that everything is the same, everyone is still controlled by a system, they decide to leave there when they see that they couldn't change anything, and they go to YELLOW WOOD '' the road not taken ' 'by means of a key, it is in this era where the two moons are seen, to which they did not pay much attention at first.
The two moons suppose two parallel worlds, or else two paths, they thought they had to take only one path, it would be the most logical thing, there are two paths, you have to take one, right? But really this was a big mistake, the first way was comfort, they could take the bus and surrender to the system, the other way would be to fight to create their own way and in this way find themselves.
They took the second and reached Double Knot, they had already taken the supposedly correct path, but then why were the two moons still there? It was as if nothing had changed '' many nights passed, but nothing changed '', they were apparently exploring the abandoned city and HyunJin found another key, which took them to Levanter (it is suspicious because it is not known where the keys), this was supposed to be the correct answer eventually, but it was all a catch.
The fact that they finally realized it was a cheat is super important, because they look at their entire journey and know they have to '' drop '' to get out of there, this explains the near-final scene of Levanter when they cross the glass door While the lyrics say that they have to let something go, it also explains a little the scene where the elevator burns, they realize that it is taking them in circles, in themselves their expressions in Levanter's MV are like `` how can I not Did we find out earlier? ''
It is here when the two moons overlap and shine, they are now aware that they have been taking wrong paths since they left District 9 and also realize that they have always known their '' true self '' since I am WHO, but they were in conflict with what the world taught them and they followed wrong paths and decisions.
Now with only one moon, a single reality or world is formed which is GO LIVE, they are rewriting their history from scratch, the Prequel shows a timeline of all their mistakes throughout the trip, for this they do not show I am WHO so in detail.
It is important to analyze that for these reasons we were first shown the Double Knot MV before the Clé: LEVANTER album was released, everything is sequential.
The paths they took may not have been the right ones, but all of this built the Stray Kids story, all the decisions made and each fall helped them truly understand themselves and mature in and out of the story, literally honoring the name Stray Kids, they were totally lost.
----------------------------------------------------
Needless to clarify that this theory is to understand what they explained in the Stray Kids: Prequel (Highlight Reel), there are other theories like that of the two I.N’s and as it was not explicit in this video, I did not write it here.
Me: (struggles to think of theories, storylines, symbolism, and how everything connects)
SKZ: here you go *explains their ENTIRE storyline*
Me: ...
...
...
well that was easy
Edit: why do I feel like I just foreshadowed Easy for myself 💀
Right??? I need everyone else to do this so I can actually sleep at night 🤣
Loooollll
But, when we pay attention to detail, it's pretty hard to understand until rn. Like why there are 2 jeongins? or why there are another han instead han in the lift?. And why there is no astronaut mv in this prequel~ but at least we know the main plot :"
@@hanr6340 maybe it has something to do with what chan said in his vlive that TOP is still connected to the storyline and that there's a parallel universe. In this video, when it reached yellow wood, chan said something along the lines of "THEY thought of their own comfort (referring to the other Stray Kids getting into the bus), we thought of our own way (the current Stray Kids). Maybe what we're getting right now with Go Live is only a part of the storyline?
they explained the whole story but not every single/little details that's why some of us are still confused.... but there are theories that somehow able to explain those details, symbolism, elements in their mvs
Since they're bringing it back
I am: CONFUSION
Hotel: trivago
as a new stay, this video kept popping up in my recommendations and i would always ignore cause i thought this was old like maybe around 2018, but I REGRET IT SO MUCH CAUSE THEY JUST GAVE US A WHOLE THEORY.
Chan: Speaking English
Me: Still can't understand coz his accent ia too much to handle 😍
Ngl English auto generated subs have never been more useful than now. I really couldn't understand some of the stuff
Same:v
I feel u dear😭
same i need english subtitle :(
His voice suits to voice videogames
JYPE should make Stray Kids storyline as a movie/series..that’s gonna be awesome!
This brings me back to Chan’s words:
Not everything has an answer.
Well, except for Maths.
Boy I- 👀👀
Still remains iconic to the is day
Math makes no sense
who's here after the release of IN生 trailer and tryna connect the theories
Me
Me after they dropped any
being a predebut stan really hits different when you realized you've been with them for almost three years now and you've watched them grow into this wonderful group that you've loved since day one... this makes me feel so nostalgic for some reason 😭
Same here 🥺🥺🥺🥺
IKR remember when hellavator came out and everyone thought how amazing jisung was cuz he could rap and sing at the same time 😭😭😭
Sameee 😭😭😭
same I'm crying
Remember when a bunch of us thought our Fandom name would be beacons? What was that about? 😂😂
chan: *explaining the whole summary of all their mvs*
me: *can’t even focus on what he is saying bcuz his voice is so attractive*
*TURKISH STAY*
Lol moood 😂
Mood
Same
MOOD
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT CHAN'S AUSSIE ACCENT
Let's talk about that
Chan's perfect Aussie accent
lez go we gon talk about
Soeee hot.
aight, start the thread
After that :-
Go live:- they found their true colors and selves
In life:- going back to the world they once rejected (In miroh)
All in:- they rebel in the world aka fix the people, change the society from where they ran away once or as chan said "turned their backs on the WORLD' (in district 9)
To be continue ~
The fact that I thought the exact same thing blows my mind
Apart from, I think they’re going to travel back in time. Eh, close enough
Am i the only one how think SKZ's first full album will be their best Hit?!
Our Stray Kids grow up :')
Nope not at all. This comeback already has so many peoples attention and so many ppl have pre ordered the album. They finally getting the hype they deserve :)
Not only you! It will be no. 1 on Spotify, iTunes and these Korean charts! Fingers crossed!
Am I the only who feels like I have this invisible bond with stray kids as a Stay? Every time I go through major changes in my life somehow Stray Kids have a comeback with music that truly speaks to what I’m currently going through and that brings me so much comfort. I’m going through a major change in my life right now. I quit my job because I was feeling really unhappy and wanted to pursue my dreams. I’m scared but I feel like this comeback really came at the right moment.
I literally have the same thing it's so weird because I have never felt this with anyone
The power of stray kids.
Yep ! I feel the same. their music somehow can speak up what i feel and i though they encourage me :" i love skz the most
i have this thing but with another group lol. txt if you were gonna ask- but it seems rude talking about another group here but anyway stray kids is my ult group
For me, ever since I have been a stay, they’ve always had comebacks around the time of my birthday (June 9th) and it really makes me happy :’)
no one:
literally no one:
other fandoms: using all their brain cells, thinking the theory of all the MVs
stays: no need we have an official one
Must be nice😭😭😭😭
Still we don't understand

Are yall thinking, what I am thinking
Who's that "you"?🤨
wait- we're all thinking of the same person aren't we
so from what my small brain could understand :
District 9 was them waking up and realizing how wrong the world is : it's the first step of revolt and breakthrough for them. Leaving that world behind, they seem to have found some sort of happiness and comfort in i am you, a small community perse that they have created. This community seems to grow stronger (the change from basic supplies and abandoned shelters that they used in i am you to technological devices used in Miroh) and they seem to divert their attention from finding themselves to battling the corrupt world to no avail. And so, they decide to leave their community in order to find their true selves as they still have no idea about their identities since they left district 9, yellow wood seems to revolve around how this desire stirs questions that confuses them to the point where they are hurting physically (yellow wood symbolises life as a journey, where the travelers is faced continually with questions about which path to take) so does double knot except they have a clue about their identites : the two moons are seemingly the keys to their hidden selves and it guides them to the right path. Assuming the two moons aligning is the truth they've been looking for, Levanter (a truth they were ready to accept and were getting ready to adapt to that proved its self wrong as the two moons didn't align) wasn't what they were looking for and so they leave again, pondering as the moons guide them again.Go is the last piece in the puzzle : it's the truth they longed for.
edit : for those saying i have a big brain sjvss thank you, but what if this turns out to be wrong tho 👀🤡👌
I feel like i would be in math class- but understand more
this isn't small brain.. this is big brain stuff
small brain?? i dont have a brain then-
you my friend are a genius
@@martinahorvathova5166 is it not clear enough ): ? i tried my best to make it clear ):
Chan's narration voice is comforting;; i listen to this whenever i wanna feel safe
Stays are just so dumb yet we are the fandom of these geniuses
thats why we clown
JAJAJAJJAJAJA SISISIIS JAJAJHAHAHAHAHJA
true
OMGGG I-
HAHAHA so true
chan's voice is so SHOOTING.
**i'm dead.**
I feel you
Chan saying "we went towards a small light... with you" and then I am You playing brought so much nostalgia to me
We've been making theories for 2 years now but chan here be telling us for just 4 minutes and 48 seconds
FOR REAL
Am I the only one crying after realising literally every single storyline in each music video is linked, thinking how genius, thoughtful and unique stray kids are with their music and knowing fully that supporting them throughout all these years was the best decision we've ever made in our lives?
I genuinely wasn't expecting this video, they keep amazing us every day and I'm so grateful for them for making our lives better especially during this hard time our world is in!
wasnt crying till i read this lol
First of all, I agree with you so much I'm acc crying after this they have put so much effort into their work and it has really paid off, and it's mostly for stays. They've done amazingly and I love them so much.
Second of all, Chan sounds like David Attenborough lmaoo
@@emmablackburn7068 omggg sorry for making you cry :( xxx
@@rayaali7447 ikrrr!!! 3 years of hard work on not only their music but also the storylines of their music videos has definitely paid off! They're the best!!! You pointing out that they're doing this for us makes me even more emotional omg :(
Omg I didn't think Chan sounds like David Attenborough until you pointed it out hahaha, Chan definitely sounds younger tho xxx
Chan: speaking english throughout the whole video
No one:
Me: crying because i can finally understand whats going on without having to wait for subtitles
Same girl same
Sameee 😭😂
that's very true hahahaha
So aussie but yeah.. thanks chan #BestLeaderChan
his voice is so soft and hot omg
JYP: Here's the theory and storyline, we hope that the fans will understand and go deeper into the story well
Stay: *Still confused
Chan in his next Vlive: So uh, I heard that some of you guys call yourself stupid, and to be honest, I think it's right. hAha, jUst KidddIng, you guys are not stupid at all
Sounds like something he would say tho HAHA
Chan : so we made that video so you could understand the theory but u keep calling urself clowns but u aren't clowns (well I just changed urs a little bit)
i literally read that im his voice i can’t omg
Can't wait for the day SKZ make their own documentary and plaster their movie like discography on cinemas~
I have a feeling stray kids will go BIG BIG this time
I mean look at this masterpiece
Ikr? I can feel it too. This comeback is gonna be awesome
Ik
No one:
Litterally nobody:
Stray kids: you cant expect perfection
Stray kids: *being perfect *
*When I first say that their trailer looks like a movie trailer and yeah here we go, It's literally 'Live'. So excited.*
yessss
I'm so proud of STRAY KIDS specially chan because he trained for 7 years and I feel pity for people who hate him but it doesn't matter jealous and selfish people don't understand that I will always support STRAY KIDS I love you STRAY KIDS
OMG.... IT'S THE THEORY OF THEIR SONGS......
NEVER KNEW WE WILL GET THIS...
STRAY KIDS TO WORLD DOMINATION
EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU STRAY KIDS..
THANK YOU STRAY KIDS
Here if it can help ;
They say, people are born different.
But why does it feel like we're all the same ? Us brainwashed into the same system they expect perfection. So how can we be different ? A sign, an omen, a glitch. The world took me away from myself.
We decided to get out of here and find our true selves.
We went towards a small light..
with you.
In order to advance forward we threw ourselves into MIROH. We ran around the unknown city without any hesitation.
Many nights have passed...but nothing has changed.
We turned our backs on the world,..and chose the road not taken.
Sometimes, our choice came with consequences. In those times we shared our fears and helplessness, and also relied on each other. At the moment of choice, they thought of their own comfort, we thought of our own way, and so different moons came up with different choices.
When we stood in front of the door that day, thinking about the shadow of the moon on the other side...the wind blew.
We contemplated about the key we held in our fists. We thought it was the answer, but it was a trap.
We think about the road we took. The moment we let you go, the two moons overlapped, becoming one streak of light. The shining light brought back our true selves. Perhaps it was us all along that could have turned the moons into one.
In a singular world.
GO LIVE.
Edit : tysm for the likes 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I thought i am going to get the answers for everything... but dude i have been clowned again... seriously SKZ IS TOP GENIUS...

Same tho I’m so excited
I swear 😤 I'm freaking out cos my theory was correct mainly and skz has amazing plots
Especially since Twice more and more is coming too Im not even a stay but my multistage heart can't stand this I'm gonna die.,good bye adios.
Chans voice OMG
Me being an Aussie and hearing their beautiful Aussie accents makes me so happy
ikr, it's such a great feeling to have
My fellow Aussie, you are correct.
Proud Aussie here
“many nights have passed but noting has changed, we turned our backs to the world and choose the road not taken” ma’am that’s deep and relatable as hell
Stray kids: * come up with theories*
Me: *trying my best connecting all braincells*
What it mean Theories?!
Watching this after the trailer NOEA(I)SY dropped..
This hits different ... all story related to each other and I think it correlates with the NOEASY trailer... GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER MY BODY😨
the parallel world started in hellevator and ended in Miroh when they decided to take one path, which is the Road not Taken in yellow wood era. they tried so hard to find their true selves using the keys they had but they realized that "the key was inside of them all along" (which is a line from Levanter english version "the key was inside of me all along) so when they let go of someone/something, they found their true selves and the two moons collided and became a singular world. as they stepped outside the door in Levanter, they went back to the same place in Hellevator, but since the two moons collided, they are starting a new life. Go Life, simply tells us that life must go on no matter how hard it gets as long as you are being true to yourself. this is all about their life's journey from being normal kids to being trainees and to being who they are right now as artists. and i'm so happy to walk with them in this journey.
Omggg it finally makes sense! Thank you! I've read other theories but I was still so confused🤣 I understand yours the most tho.
Thank you
me too. like all the roads/worlds they have been thru, we are with them. and now, finally all of this has an answer. finally. im so happy.
