One thing that has been confirmed by BlockBerry Entertainment is that the loonaverse is a big Möbius strip. They actually announced this somewhat secretly and it was quite hidden. In Yves’ first teaser, you notice that their website, which is in every teaser (http://dlrowehtanool.com/) was actually written backwards. When you went to that website, you would see this image-
A big Möbius strip, with LOONA’s logo in the middle. This states that this is in fact what the loonaverse is, and it helps a TON. I will be explaining how the Möbius strip works and also my theory on it.
I’ve searched up a couple gifs to help you guys understand how this works as it’s very hard to describe, and it’d definitely be hard to comprehend if you’re a visual learner like myself. I hope these gifs help! Basically, the strip is one big loop with a twist, making 2 sides on the “ribbon” facing the front while one side faces the opposite way.
Like this gif shows, if you move this crab along the strip it’s claw will be on the left side, but once it flips to that one side of the strip it is backwards and it’s big claw is on the right side. This actually puts the loonaverse in a new perspective and a lot of things start to make sense.
Ofcourse the first thing we notice whenever we watch a LOONA video is their logo (which is beautiful by the way). Each girl has her own color, which would be the color of the moon in her logo, yet we’ve begun to notice a change. Ever since Yves’ debuted, the moon started going in the opposite direction.
Why you may ask? Why is Yves, Chuu, Gowon and most likely Olivia Hye’s moon moving in the opposite direction from all the others? Because this unit is on the opposite side of the Möbius strip, they are that one opposite reflected side. Not only is their logo reflected from the rest of the members’, but their world as well. Well, somewhat.
I will now explain each unit and where they stand within the Möbius strip. If I have theorized any special thing about a certain member within the unit, I will explain them under their designated unit’s paragraphs. Therefore you WILL hear about other units within these paragraphs and how these girls connect. (ex. anything to do with Hyunjin will be under 1/3’s section, even if I’m explaining her connections to a different unit).
These girls are the “normal” girls. They are on one of the front sides of the Möbius strip. To prove this, they are all across the world, they’ve filmed their music videos in many different countries and are also seen as normalized. We can see them doing sports and all types of things that a regular human would do. It is seen that these girls don’t have much to do with other unit theories, but I’ve concluded they 100% do, because as more members debut, units as well, we see connections with 1/3 members showing they’re not as lacking of theory as we think.
Sounds crazy right?? Maybe fake isn’t the best word, but I feel she either isn’t exactly a human all together (which is least likely and is really just a stretch) or she doesn’t belong in the 1/3 unit (ofcourse logically she is in that unit but within the loonaverse she wasn’t meant to be with this group of girls in this world if that makes sense).
I’m gonna try explaining this the best I can. In their Love&Live music video, it’s very blatant ViVi is different. When the other members are tired from running, she isn’t, when they’re drinking, she doesn’t drink and you see she actually secretly stores all her full drinks to show she never drinks, therefore she does not need to consume anything to live. You see she doesn’t really fit in with the group, and she even charges herself from her backpack secretly when the other members aren’t around (or so she thinks).
Not only this, but very notably, we see she has a special eye. Not exactly like Odd Eye Circle’s, but very much like it and the same eye as well. On top of that, we see her run in a field, when she pulls her plug and goes on low battery, that looks very much like the field in Choerry’s video. This is very important to note.
We also see her in Yves’ video, and she looks happy. She seems quiet if that makes sense, but she smiles with Yves. I will be able to further explain this when I explain the following units, but keep all this in mind.
Also remember, she had her solo debut AFTER debuting with her unit, which makes absolutely no sense based on how LOONA debuts. they debut each member of the unit and then the unit itself, it is very odd that ViVi would debut with a unit before debuting solo as their solo debut introduces us to the member in the first place. In the up&line teaser, all the 1/3 girls have their animal with them as they’re connected to their animals more, yet ViVi doesn’t have her deer, and is covered by a projection that keeps saying “Love&Live”. This also proves her misbelonging and also as if she’s stuck in that time/mind set as she was in Love&Live.
With Haseul, we also see her in Chuu’s video. This is important because it shows there is a connection between the 1/3 world and Eden, it seems to be in the same setting as the carol. Chuu does not see Haseul, but Haseul sees Chuu, and it’s as if Haseul knows this fact as she smiles at Chuu while she walks away. My theory? Chuu has now defied Eden, which means she is now in the real world and fell from heaven, which we see as at the end of the video when we see her laying on the snow, asleep, while her apple changed back to green. Haseul wakes her up, assumably as she leaves the carol’s setting, I believe this shows that after the Eden girls defy they are in fact in the real world as they are fallen angels. Of course Yves and Chuu still have to go back to Eden to get Gowon and so forth, but BBC confirmed the setting of Gowon’s MV is where Yves and Chuu met.
Here is where it starts to go down. Where theories began arising. This unit is also on the front part of the Möbius strip, yet they’re very different. Instead of being in the normal world, these girls are in hell (ofcourse not exactly hell or the way we think of it, but they definitely have a horror-like concept despite their individual debuts). If you look at their Sweet Crazy Love teaser, it is very horror like and incredibly gloomy & dark.
In the up&line cinema theory, you see 1/3 having fun with each other in the practice room like a vlog, and then they travel to the aquarium. They continue vlogging there, until there is a horror like cut showing what’s happening in the background of the video, which is Jinsoul in her Odd Eye Circle outfit and eyepatch staring at a fish tank. It was very horror movie style. For these members, they also have a black background for their LOONA logo intros, which shows something much darker and ominous compared to the other units’. In their sweet crazy love video, it shows the real darkness of their world and gives off a somewhat creepy vibe at times
I believe KimLip and Jinsoul did in fact come from Eden, but they previously rebelled and were banished. Think about how Satan was originally an angel until he was banished from heaven and created hell, this is what I feel Odd Eye Circle (not including Choerry)’s position is. Why? Well I’ll try to explain. One reason of course is being a way of connection through out the loonaverse which you’ll see in the next unit, and for signs that were given to us.
First I’d like to say that Choerry is normal (for the most part). In her solo, we see her hanging out with 1/3 (not including ViVi, note that), which that unit is in fact in the normal world. She is very very normalized in this video, almost like a big hang out with the girls lol. Until she eats the cherry, then her cute concept turns girl crush. Note that both KimLip and Jinsoul debuted with a girl crush concept, there were no cute concepts within the video, presumably for the fact that they already rebelled and when Choerry eats the cherry, she is rebelling which makes her go girl crush, yet she has nothing to rebel from which is why she goes back to cute. When she is in girl crush mode, she is with Kim and Soulie, meaning she’s crossed to the other world. We later see in the unit teaser that Jinsoul planted the cherry on Choerry’s cake, while KimLip distracted her so she would leave her house to let Jinsoul sneak in. This cherry let’s Choerry travel through the different worlds of the loonaverse, and it was in fact planted on her by KimLip and Jinsoul while she did not know the power of this cherry. Hence why both KimLip and Jinsoul are blonde and Choerry isn’t. Remember how Gowon ate the pineapple and her hair turned blonde? That likely explains why KimLip and Jinsoul are blonde, they’ve rebelled by eating a fruit, likely the pineapple as it has that affect.
Now here’s why I believe KimLip and Jinsoul are fallen angels from Eden. 1. In their unit teaser we see them both in white dresses, very garden-like, almost as if they belonged in the garden of Eden. 2. They had a cherry with a power in the first place. The only place you can receive a fruit with a power is in Eden, which is why all the Eden girls are connected to a fruit with a power, so why do KimLip and Jinsoul have one if they were never in Eden? Well, they were in Eden, that’s why they have a powerful fruit. I believe they sent Choerry to Eden for the fact that they were banished from heaven, it seems as if Choerry has a role in Eden and based on her smile in Gowon’s video and her dropping the apple she caught from Yves (which is her fruit of redemption). I believe KimLip and Jinsoul sent Choerry to Eden to make the other girls defy Eden as well, just as they did which is why they now reside in “hell”. They used Choerry as a pawn to get back at heaven for banning them and trying to get the other members of Eden to defy with them as well.
Theory update; They also may not be trying to get back at the girls for being banished, but maybe they were the first to realize Eden wasn’t good for them and left themselves, and are now trying to get the rest of the girls out. This came to my mind as Jinsoul is featured in Olivia’s track and we see a hand, around what appears to be Gowon’s (although it looks more like Yves’ hand) , waist as she’s holding Olivia’s hand. This could very well be Jinsoul, but of course it’s just a theory till we see the MV. But I just wanted to get this thought out there.
Also, in the cinema theory it shows a video of 1/3 dancing to a remix of Love&Live, but Hyunjin is replaced by Choerry. People were insanely confused, my explanation is that Choerry is from the real world which is why she was with 1/3. That video took place before Odd Eye Circle tricked Choerry (as it is a 1/3 song before Odd Eye Circle’s debut after all), which is why Choerry would be with them. She is from their world in the first place. Where Hyunjin is you may ask? I’m not very certain on this little theory, but hear me out. In cinema theory as well, we see that Gowon made a bracelet which is what we see when Hyunjin opens the door in Around You. Gowon put the bracelet around a cat’s neck which dropped it off at her door. Hyunjin then smiled as if she knew. We also see a cat in Gowon’s video, I believe that may be Hyunjin going back to see Gowon to maybe thank her for the bracelet or something of the sort as Hyunjin’s animal is a cat and we see that the girls do in fact have a physical connection with their animals (Haseul turning into a bird, Jinsoul turning into her fish). Maybe, just maybe, that is where Hyunjin was.
We also see Choerry upside down a lot, as her animal is a bat. She is also the only member that has traveled to all the LOONA worlds because of her power. This may be to signify that she is also upside down on the Möbius strip, she hangs in the middle and can see all sides of it if that makes sense. Just a little thought.
Note that at the end of Sweet Crazy Love we see KimLip walk into the beginning of her eclipse solo; meaning Sweet Crazy Love took place before their solos which would also be why we see Jinsoul running to save her fish in the beginning of Singing In The Rain. Their teaser shows how they “captured” Choerry, Sweet Crazy Love shows the vibe of their unit and is somewhat the main setting for the beginning of their unit, and then the solos are just continued, except for Choerry’s as she is the special one and we see her story in her video.
In Girl Front, remember how we’d see the girls loop a lot? How Choerry would throw a paper airplane and it’d hit her in the back? Well, they were also wearing twisted bracelets, which look much like the Möbius strip. I believe they are in the middle of the loop, which is also why they have a connection to all the worlds in LOONA, they are the center of the Möbius strip and everything loops back around to them
We also see Choerry’s map, when she looks at the Ferris wheel she puts a cat sticker down, which represents Hyunjin. In Sonatine, a Ferris wheel is behind Hyunjin. We also see that Hyunjin is in fact in Girl Front. The circles on Choerry’s map as well, they’re in the same pattern as the circles (mirrors/world teleporters(?)) in Choerry’s video. In this video, Odd Eye Circle is in 1/3’s world, which is the real world (which is also a bit obvious as they filmed in LA & it has that vibe). We also see the yellow truck from Haseul’s video in the MV and a cassette which is a reference to ViVi’s video.
theory update; the cassette in Girl Front is making more sense since Olivia’s teaser. First, the cassette was playing forward, and the girls began looping a lot at the end which I still believe may be related to them being in the middle of the strip. At the end of the video the cassette begins playing backwards, which from then on (not including Sweet Crazy Love as it’s still Odd Eye Circle) the moons have been moving backwards as well. I believe the flip of direction moving on the cassette shows we are now moving to the opposite side of the strip.
Now our final sub unit! This has definitely put a lot together as well. These girls are on the back side of the Möbius strip, where things are reflected and backwards. Basically, backwards from hell, in heaven, and their moon logo background is in white which shows purity and even heaven. That is also why their moon logo moves in the opposite direction, they’re a reflection on the strip. We see the reoccurring theme which is the girls defying Eden, in which they do so by eating their designated fruit. In the Bible, it says how Eve (hi Yves) defies Eden by eating a fruit she was told not to eat, everyone assumes it’s an apple but it never really specifies what fruit she ate, which is why each girl has a different fruit yet Yves has an apple.
Each of the Eden girls’ solos so far have had a powerful meaning behind them and helps tell their story of defying Eden, but mostly backed up by the story from their videos. For Yves, it was easy for her to defy Eden, in fact she was happy to do so and ate plenty of apples which would somewhat explain Choerry’s state in the video as she just catches an apple that Yves threw. We even see ViVi do a surprised expression after seeing apple clips, and this is after we see her smiling and roller skating with Yves. First, ViVi’s whole solo video was about roller skating, if this doesn’t link up to her skating with Yves’ idk what else will. The fact we later see her make that expression for a quick second is almost as if she’s realized something, maybe realizing her connection with Eden/Odd Eye Circle.
We also see Choerry give an ominous smile as she hangs upside down (like a bat) in Gowon’s video and drop an apple to/around her, as she may assume you use an apple to defy and her whole mission of being in Eden is to get the girls to defy along with KimLip and Jinsoul. Gowon is scared through out the video, yet after she eats her pineapple her hair turns blonde and it is as if she gains courage to defy Eden, which leads me to believe her fruit power is courage. We also see Yves and Chuu smile after she eats the pineapple as they hold their designated fruits as well, they then run down the halls in their unit outfits and leave Eden. But we see a shadow at the very end walking away, which would show that our last girl, Olivia, is still there in Eden.
In cinema theory, there is a clip of Choerry leaving the Odd Eye Circle girls to walk on her own somewhere, she then walks in a tunnel, the same tunnel from Yves’ video. She looks into a hand mirror (which is what she travels to different worlds with; mirrors) and then she sees Yves walking towards her in the reflection of the mirror. She turns around and Yves is standing in front of her, holding an apple and is covered in shadows. I feel maybe Choerry and Yves are a team, that that mirror is what took Choerry to the Eden world as we never see her specifically go there and she does travel using mirrors, she only traveled to the girl crush concepts which is where we see KimLip and Jinsoul which would conclude that that is her teleporting to “hell”. This is how she gets to Eden and she teams with Yves to help the other girls defy. From what we the public are given and what cinema theory tells, it seems that KimLip, Jinsoul and Yves are in fact connected as they all came from Eden, our 2 blondes defied and set up the cherry and in a way drop her off at the tunnel to meet Yves without her knowing, and then from there Yves links with her and tells her what to do while she’s in Eden to get the other girls to defy. She would need a mentor/guide right? & KimLip and Jinsoul are banished so they can’t be there with her, therefore they need Yves to show her the way through Eden and what she needs to do.
Something important, we see Yves, ViVi and Choerry in The Carol 2.0, they’re all from different worlds of the loonaverse and they’re all the important members that help all the connections within the loonaverse. This shows that all the worlds can collide, and is how in their full debut they will all be together.
In Olivia’s teaser, we see a globe, which I’d only assume is her looking down on earth (1/3, as they did travel the globe, remember?) from heaven. A bonus thought, we see Odd Eye Circle looking up at their moons a lot, possibly looking up from “hell”? Unsure, but a thought since we have one girl looking down at the world and our “hell” unit looking up at the cloudy sky.
Also note that every color in the Eden unit is not a definite color, none of them are solid or on a basic color wheel. Yves’ is maroon, which is a dark red, Chuu’s is peach which is like a light pinky orange, Gowon’s is mint which is a light green while Olivia’s is black/gray/white (not definite it seems, but it seems to be mainly black, she’s a spectrum from white to black), which are not true colors within themselves. This also shows the fact that they are on the flipped/reflected side of the Möbius strip as they don’t even have actual colors and just faded colors from other member colors.
