"ASTRO Worldview Connection Thread"
(Hide&Seek~GATE WAY Poster)

*may have inaccuracies (missed out information) due to tardiness
*excluding cat's eye

➵ i've translate this theory in this thread, it analyses the connections of their mvs together so pls check it out rohas !! https://twitter.com/rockyeunry/status/1252683886028443648

not all of astro's mv have full connectivity.
but they all talk about the same topic.

"i'm going to meet 'you' in another time and space."

'you' and astro have still yet to meet each other fully from hide&seek to blue flame
and the 'you' is aroha.

1. hide&seek
roha's time is 2016.2.19
astro's time is still april 2015
but even so, they found each other through a mirror for the first time.

the two are reachable but not connected.
then comes a rainbow for the first time.
rainbow = 7 = astro6 + aroha1
directly connected to baby mv later

a note from aroha in 2016
received by astro in 2015.
"thank you for finding me"
when aroha wakes up from her dream, she'll discover that astro who debuted in 2016 holds the note.

i thought until then we'll be happy......i thought we could meet...

2. breathless
using dream motifs
this time, the connection (passageway) is the refrigerator.

duck = symbol of connection between aroha and astro
directly related to crazy sexy cool mv

astro's orange clothing = aroha's bottle
directly related to baby mv

astro as bottles moves when aroha moves. but at the same time, they're disconnected to each other...

as roha enters the refrigirator, there's a continuation of the two worlds.
at this time, the space aroha and astro share for the first time is the car
directed related to always you mv

when roha drinks up all the drinks, the dream has ended. even so, roha's hairband is still left in astro's world...

again, in this time they didn't meet fully.

3. confession important
the mv starts with a story that's sad then it progresses to be happy but shouldn't be deceived by its false illusion of happiness.

roha is in reality and astro is in a cartoon.

the part when it's all just false happiness (pretends to be happy).
the connection (passageway) is the cartoon.
comic = book
similar to blue flame

astro and aroha meet.
tried to confess but
eunwoo return to the world of cartoon with tears in his eyes.
grabs roha's shirt
and the next song released is "should've held on/again"

4. baby (low level of difficulty - understanding)
album title DREAM(part.1)
store name DREAM STORE
a place that sells bottled drinks in the colours of the rainbow.

the appearance of rainbow in hide&seek mv
breathless mv foreshadowing the bottled drinks

breathless = in astro's dream
baby = in aroha's dream
when you order takeaway for the drink, astro will see you off (at the last scene)

5. crazy sexy cool (DREAM part.2)
roha is centered like the sun and the six planets which are astro revolts around it.

astro looking at a woman's silhouette.
sanha is holding a duck doll at the same time.
this part shows the connection with breathless mv

they disappeared into aroha's closet, on top of the closet KEEP DREAMING

inside the closet, there is a collection of all the astro mv released and a duck.
implying the connections.

astro follows aroha into the closet and enters the rest of the world.

on a car ride to meet aroha.
similar to breathless mv. then later, connecting to always you mv.

but all the wonderful times on the way to meet aroha were just fantasies (astroha still unable to meet)
even traces of aroha that remain after the illusion were broken...(glitter)

6. always you the starting point of worldview
astro who passed dream part 2. now living in a world completely disconnected & isolated from aroha. oblivious of aroha (which meant astro has forgotten all about aroha)

moonbin dives into the water.
similar to all night mv

sanha is seen in a car full of plants as if it was left unattended (for a long time).
the period between breathless and crazy sexy cool (jun 2016 to nov 2017)

rocky is a character who breaks out of oblivion. he looks for aroha on the map.
leading to all night mv

now astro's oblivion is broken, as soon as astro remembers aroha their eyes will meet.

lyrics: "it's a little late but i'm coming to you"
"so i went to search for you"

rocky running to find aroha
and there are seven circles, astro coming together in the middle
similar to the identity film

and moonbin rises up as if he was getting out of the water.

7. all night
a fantasy-like world where time seems to have stopped, like sleeping beauty or beauty and the beast.

rocky here also holds the string of connections to aroha. only the phone booth scene has a realistic feel.

rocky plays a role in exploring even within the fantasy-like world.
and moonbin can be seen holding a phone from a broken phone booth.

image of isolation. it may imply that this world is a closed world.

at the end, sanha removed the cover.
and until the end, rocky still can't contact (reach) aroha. ddudduddu sounds we're only heard and eventually he hangs up the phone.

a rather scary (tragic) mv pretending to be sweet

8. Blue Flame
this time, it's the world in the book
similar to confession mv
jinjin who's holding a book in all night mv is also holding a book here

astro is completely bound to this world. wants to run to aroha but can't seem to get out of the world.

jinjin seem to have taken over rocky's roles in all night and always you mvs.

astro breaks out from the trap that was keeping them stuck in the world

the flower that kept appearing is called iris.
iris means rainbow in greek....

in that case, it would mean the connection between astro-aroha itself.

the flower burns in the end.
if you think about it with the lyrics, "even as it gets colder, the more i'll love you till my remaining heart burns down", it has a positive meaning.

9. Knock (널찾아가 - i'll go find you)
name of the album is GATE WAY
the gate way to another world

the door that connects astro and aroha's world is opened.
in hide&seek mv we met through the mirror,
in confession mv it was a tragic breakup,

in always you mv remembering each other,
in blue flame mv breaking the trap that was keeping them stuck in that world.
it's time to meet.
