- 100% coming from my own imagination
- Sorry for the typo/grammar mistakes
- Isn't fully accurate so I need your help to improve it!
- Not just the MVs, I also took into account bts, teasers and trailers even if I talk less about it

Here is the MV to be sure you have it in mind before we start + to help streaming it to reach 10M views

I'll link this theory with my whole ONF's MVs theory thread so if you never read it or want to read it again before we start here it is: https://twitter.com/Kaminwh/status/1256678061191421958?s=20

This thread will be in different parts because I have a few different theories about this MV.

1. Another Universe

2. An Allegory

3. The Link

4. Problems

Now let's start!

𝟭. 𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲

The whole plot of ONF's MVs is about parallel universes, different worlds and the end of each one of them. So as a first theory, we can easily imagine that Sukhumvit Swimming's Universe is a whole new one with new characters (like in my New World theory).

Then, what happened in this universe?

The most difficult part is to understand in what order the events happened.

In my opinion, I think that Wyatt is the link between every characters.

He is a tuk tuk driver between space AND time and could find the members. Maybe he was the one knowing that they needed to meet to stop the destruction of the world.

Then, here comes my theory about the events.

First, in the past: Seungjun lost all his friends, we can assume it was because of Hyojin like in Why and because we see the same Pandora Box.

In the present: It happens once again but Wyatt decides to change things. His alter ego means that something bad will happen and we can assume that he saw the start of the destruction of the world too.

To change things, he had to travel in the in time to stop it.

First, he went to Seungjun from the future, the only person alive after the destruction of the world, guarding the ruins of the city where his friends died, which are also the ruins of his own memories.

Maybe Seungjun accepted to come because he had a vision about Hyojin.

Then he went to Changyoon, but not from a too far future (or else he would be dead like the others). We can assume that Changyoon is from the past, before he met all of them and before he became friend with them.

Now that they are together, the mission is to stop Hyojin.

About Hyojin, he wants to steal the time (change the past?). Like In Why, we can't really guess what he wanted to do, what was important to the point of putting his friends in danger.

Maybe Seungjun knows where to find him thanks to his vision.

But Hyojin already used a Pandora Box as we can guess because of the fall of meteorites.

Seungjun tries to stop him but fails because Hyojin can control the time.

Then either things repeat as we see Seungjun loosing everyone at the end only, either we don’t know what happened since the last thing we know is that Hyojin came back in the time before they even entered the room.

I don’t have a lot of things to say for the others as they don’t seem linked to the main story, but we can assume that what we see is them in the past before they became friends, maybe thanks to our dear tuk tuk driver. I'll definitely talk more about them in the other parts!

𝟮. 𝗔𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆

Did you ever think about how Sukhumvit Swimming's characters seem to be linked to the one from WHY's Universe or from the 01 Universe? That's what this theory is about. Sukhumvit Swimming could just be an allegory of their World View.

First, Hyojin. He is a time stealer and I can't help but to think of how he regretted everything in WML and definitely wanted to change the past. Once again, he is the one being responsible of the chaos, linked with masked people.

Seungjun is always the one wanting to stop him at all cost. Their fight in the train with masked people watching it is obiously echoing to WHY.

His loneliness reminds me a lot of Why too, after his fight with Hyojin. His fear (fate?) seems to be to lost everyone and his efforts are never enough to stop it.

About Changyoon, he is again alone and crying. He watches a beautiful chaos, unable to stop it as all his efforts didn’t lead to anything in WML or Why. The blue flower is still there and he also teammed up with Seungjun, like I think did in Why.

Wyatt, in this MV is like a traveler lost in time which reminds me to his memories in Why and how lost he was. He is the link between all of them but that also means he is the reason why the chaos began: HyoJ fought because of him in Why and here he brought Seungjun to Hyojin.
