Enhypen: “bright concept”

Also Enhypen: opens the trailer with all of them dead/passed out

Me: 😀

Not going to lie, the trailers have quickly become the part of enha’s comeback that I’m the most excited for 

While Dark Blood trailer was more impressive, this trailer felt much more immersive! You could feel the cold shivers on the beach, the softness on the rug that Sunoo was laying on.. this trailer took me back to the sunny, hopeful days of early summer where I could finally feel free.

Congratulations to the members who put out a great performance in both happy and desperate moments of the trailer! Still wondering what this trailer means to the overall lore yet I’m really thankful to have the energy again to work on my Enhypen AU This is a really great trailer to set the mood for this era, can’t wait for more!!

Okay I got some Thoughts lol. Please excuse my essay, my kpoppie friends aren’t engenes so I gotta dump this here 😅

So it seems that they were reborn as human? Waking up in the sea feels like a baptism of sorts. Living life, getting hurt, eating food (an egg too which felt like a metaphor for new life). And the narration mentioned something about not feeling eternal anymore. But the Sooha who helped them at the beach is not the Sooha they know, who was trapped in the house, which I guess is visual symbolism for another realm. Maybe that’s the real world and this non-Sooha has trapped them in another fake one – the Sooha inside the house was wearing the same clothes from the last trailer right? But then what could burning the house down with all three of them inside mean? I don’t think she would go to where the real Sooha is… maybe she ran off with Sunoo off screen…?

Some webtoon spoilers ahead: >!so very cool to see them already tying in what happened at the end of The Blood Altar. That non-Sooha claimed to be Selen and also seemed evil, and I guess they are now going to explore what happens next with Two Moons. SO excited about that, I love the webtoon! I guess we can call this non-Sooha Selen as well. I know that the concept trailers aren’t 1:1 with the webtoon but still share some things so I’m really curious to see how that plays out. The boys in the webtoon haven’t had another rebirth, but they did start to try and live more human lives after the bad vampires had all died, so maybe that’s the parallel. Maybe it won’t even be Sunoo’s character who gets corrupted(?) by Selen, maybe it will be another character or maybe it will be all of them… so curious to find out what that will be for though. I wonder if the new webtoon will launch very soon to coincide with this comeback or if they’re building hype now and it will launch with the next one.!<

I won’t lie, although it was really pretty and vibes were nice, I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first one. I loved how stylistic the first one was and while that did show up at the end of this one, I was also kind of just sitting there wondering when something was going to happen. It’s beautiful for sure, but until the last minute or so it just felt like a really long mood teaser combined with a choreography teaser. Which is nice in itself, but I loved how I felt like I was watching a short film with a vague but gripping story with the first one. It completely blew me away. I also don’t listen to or watch teasers as a rule, ever, and I expected this one to be like the first and not tease choreography or the title track so that kinda threw me off 😅. Usually I wait until the comeback to watch these sorts of things but the Dark Blood one gave me a false sense of security I guess lol.

Love the vibes and the sound though! I think I’m going to love the comeback, I’m just a bit disappointed with the trailer as a standalone thing. I think I’ll rewatch this again after the comeback (since I don’t want the song or choreography to stick in my mind until d-day) and be able to appreciate it more then, which is usually what I would do tbh and what I’ll go back to doing with future trailers!

ETA because the thoughts don’t stop: I wonder if the title track will have a contrasting vibe somewhere in the song, similar to this trailer? 🤔 like it seems all fresh and bright but something feels a little sinister in the bridge or something like that. Or if they’ll save that for a bside (the monster track??) Idk. Oh I can’t wait to hear the whole album!!

This was so amazing!! We really gotta applaud the boys(and Jiwon) for their acting. I’m so interested in reading theories about this.
So my theory is: there’s the real Sooha and an anti(?) Sooha. When the boys lose all their powers to the real Sooha she very conveniently takes advantage of them and tricks them into her trap.
This wasn’t much of a surprise considering the last chapter of Dark Moon: the blood altar. Though I still have a lot of questions:

1. Why is the bad Sooha after the boys if they have really lost all their powers? What does she gain? Or she is just obsessed with them? What if this is like a parody on anti-fans or haters? Like the real Sooha represents us good fans who support and love Enha whereas the bad Sooha hates them / sabotage them by masking her ill intentions behind a fake persona (haters who mask their bad intentions behind their fan image (read: fake fan image) or faceless online accounts.

2. What happens when the bad Sooha bites Sunoo? When the real Sooha does she takes her powers back from them so when the bad Sooha does, she gives the dark powers or corrupts them? Or something else because they have literally nothing to give away atp.

3. Why is the real Sooha not around when all this happens? She’s only seen briefly trapped in that abandoned cottage. Why is she so weak in front of the villain despite having realized her powers to their max capacity?

If you have read so far, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk!! ~~pls tell me your theories too~~
