Something I noticed in undergrOund idOl and seOul drift is that first meetings, and specifically first eye contact, seem to be very important, and it almost feels like they're recognising something familiar in each other. At first I thought that those longing looks and widened eyes were just a way to show that they're instantly attracted to each other, but some of those first interactions seem way too emotionally loaded for that, especially kyujung in seOul drift - it seems like they're seeing each other for the first time, but also like they were searching for each other, and once they see one another, they instantly know this is the person they've been driving/waiting for.

I was reading the lyrics to candy bOmb, and in the middle of a fun beat and lyrics about instant attraction there's the sudden, more thoughtful and distorted bridge and the line "I can't figure out who it is, I might've left you behind".

It seems like they're connected in every alternate universe, they know each other in libidO and skinz (we never see their first meetings there), so there's recognition when they first meet in the solos, and once again in seOul drift.

Here's where it gets really interesting. From savanna to asOiaf, none of the MVs feel like they're taking place in the real world. Starting from where the units first appear, libidO is the only MV that doesn't take place in Seoul but on an island, in a kind of summer paradise. skinz has both Seoul and the seaside. Since begin to seOul drift, we have been only in Seoul. With each era, we seem to come out of the metaphorical space of the subconscious and into the real world in which these stories have been taking place. To the surface, if you will.

The description says that "loneliness and wandering are sped up to the verge of hallucination and to their very limit, and raced to the extent that they can no longer keep up and get exhausted". I'm having a lot of trouble deciphering this, but considering how important driving vehicles is in their MVs, they've been trying to get to the verge of this hallucination since savanna. The hallucination keeps resetting and separating them, but they keep racing along their own path on instinct and eventually stumble across someone they feel they've been missing from their life, whose lack of presence by their side ignited their loneliness.

This makes more sense if you watched the part of my theory about the role of technology in their MVs and the meaning of delusion in skinz. Delusion and hallucination can easily be used interchangeably in this metaphor, which, in the case of my interpretation, means that societal norms create our reality and distort it to be something untrue to our nature.

Societal pressure forces them apart, but their instincts are stronger, so in the end, they always find their way back to each other. Just like no matter how hard societal norms try to suppress queerness, it always comes up to the surface, whether within an individual or in society at large.
