I've cried so many times throughout the whole film, these boys have such a big place in my heart :’)) I also couldn’t help myself and I came up with theories regarding each member's section. I could be really wrong lmao but nonetheless I had fun coming up with these!! (I also mention some of their backgrounds and I am unsure if all of the info is correct) HONGJOONG'S DREAM: He explained in a KQ fellas video that he spent the majority of his time in the studio, meaning that he didn’t have much time for his friends and family and he felt that it was like living in a completely different world from everyone else and he was alone. SEONGHWA'S MEMORY: There is an old video of SH saying how he really didn’t like who he was and he would constantly try to hide his face. Looking back at it now, maybe the thing that he was missing was the ability to love and believe in himself. Now that he's a part of ateez and he sees the many people who love him his confidence has really come out. WOOYOUNG'S CHOICE: wy used to be trainee in another company alongside yeosang but ys eventually left leaving wy alone. In his section it showed how he was scared to pursue his dream because of the fear of being looked down upon by the community. In a vlive us mentioned how wy left their company to go to KQ and when asked why was because he made a promise to ys that they would debut together. Wy now had one of his best friends by his side to support him and he also met 6 other members who would become his best of friends to help him overcome his fears and see that so many people out there love him. YEOSANG'S TIME: As I mentioned ys and wy previously trained in another company. In his part, it looked like he lacked any sort of freedom. Ys is incredibly passionate about his artistry but he felt like he was wasting time in a place where he couldn’t live freely like he was stuck, trapped. So he quit. When the violin dropped and the birds flew free it was symbolizing him finally being able to live without restraint and pressuring reputation to live up to. He was able to be himself and let loose. It was a chance for him to fall in love with his passion once again. SAN'S RESOLUTION: In his section he explained how he would constantly move a lot, I’m assuming it’s because of his parent's work. Because he moved, he didn’t have very many friends, his only close friends were his grandparents, who he explained in a KQ fellaz video that he felt closer to than he did his parents. He picked up a pair of shoes which I believe symbolizes the walks that his grandparents would invite him on. Now that he is a part of Ateez he feels a sense of stability, something permanent, because he now has an incredible group of friends. But he still has his doubts whether it really is permanent. I believe the escalator represents his life, as it is constantly taking him in one direction without much control as to where he's going. But when he decides to turn back and counter the flow of the escalator, it’s like he's saying that he's done being pushed down a path, he's happy where he is and he is willing to work against life (escalator) to stay with ateez. (Also peep the shoes which gave him strength) YUNHO AND HIS BROTHER: This one is gonna be one hell of a stretch but here it is. YH does have a younger brother and in the section it showed broken instruments and a messy ,suicidal room. He also said how it was “his fault” and that he was going to make his brother's dream come true. I'm guessing that his brother wanted to become and idol as well but we’ll know how difficult and complicated becoming an idol is. Maybe his family could only allow/afford one of their kids to become an idol. The train hitting him could represent how his brother felt when he felt his dreams shatter. Now that yh is an idol (a powerful one ;)) ) he will do whatever he can to support his brother's dream. JONGHO'S WANDERING: In a video they did, jh explained how he used to be in a lot of sports back in school and was really good at it (explains his super strength), he said that playing sports was his first dream but in the section he was badly injured and he decided to give up basketball (the ball almost making it was how close he was to reaching his dream but eventually fell short) despite being so passionate about it, I believe that it was then he developed his passion for music and performing. Which lead him to ateez, however, now that he knows what it feels like to lose a dream because of an injury, he’s very concerned about the health of his members. When he and Mingi fought in his section (I’m giving their fight in mg's section a different meaning to their fight in jh's)it represented how jh felt when mg was going through his injury late last year. He was scared that his friend would have to go through what he did w his first dream. Jh did also hurt his leg late last year/early this year where he had to perform sitting down. I believe that he was so scared that a repeat of of what happened to his first dream would happen and that he’s have to give it yet again. Hence the burning court. MINGI'S DIARY: Mingi's was harder to find connections in just his background so I tried to relate it to not only him but us Atinys as well. Mg was always someone who wanted to be alone because being around others just never worked for him. When he joined ateez he was able to finally let his guard down and be part of a group. There are so many people who feel like outcasts and who would much rather live in their own world alone rather than face the harsh realities of the real one; And although we've found a place where we can be a free, where there is a piece of happiness, mg and jh's fight showed how sometimes the negative feelings will return and we’d want to live in our own world once again because it’s our comfort. But like the lyric “Maybe we're living younger, that’s why we're fever.” We can’t dwell in the past because that’ll only give us pain. We have to allow ourselves to move forward to truly be happy. ENDING: The entire time the hourglass has been reversing, representing the ability to have more time. The members approaching HJ not only represented HJ not being alone anymore but also the fact that because they all joined ateez, each member has a chance to overcome the part of their life that made them the most unhappy. — If you decide to repost pls give credit thank you :D
