A/N hello gays im here to apologise for promising to update and then never updating again
also here is my theory for Apple mv :)))
please note I haven't read any theories this is just what I think, I have no idea if it's wrong or right and idk what all of it means
please dm me or leave a comment if you have any other ideas, I would love to talk about them to anyone and everyone 👉👈
okay here we go :))
so it starts with pretty Eunha eating an apple, she kind of smiles and faints afterwards
she smiles which seems to prove that they apple is promising her something, Eternal Happiness, which will come back later in the story
I believe this is a flash into the future of when they eat the apples
okay first dance scene. pretty, white, graceful group members, I believe this is meant to represent the Garden of Eden (holiest place to exist) and then-
so I believe this is another flash into the future, this scene stays for a couple seconds before we're back to pretty Eden group dance
so this is the second time we see apples, but I believe it is the first time for the girls because the first scene with the apple was a flash into future
SinB is looking at the apples like she wants to eat them but knows it's wrong, clearly the apples represent Temptation/ lust like in the Bible
From this we can assume she ate the apple as well as her other members except Eunha (you will see why not Eunha)
now we see Sowon running towards a door. she's looking behind her, and after a few cuts we can see she was looking at her group members
they all eagerly follow Sowon into the room, except Eunha
So I think the other members have done something, I think they have all eaten the apple except Eunha, which is why it hurts her to go inside because she is still holy and the room is not holy- she knows it's wrong
The other members are fine with going inside the room because they have all eaten the apple, they have swallowed the Temptation.
After some cuts of SinB with the apple, we see someone drag Eunha into the room anyway
inside it's a mess, totally different from the Garden of Eden earlier
This is supposed to represent how there is no such thing as Eternal Happiness, all the girls are bored and angry inside, they also start throwing things around
This scene confused me, but I think Yuju was starting to have second thoughts about the apple and wanted to leave the room
so the girls are telling her that it's okay, they are blinding her eyes and mouth
then they disappear and there is a red orb with a butterfly. I honestly have no idea what the Butterfly represents but the red orb is the reality of the apple, the Temptation at it's core
okay now there is Yiren running in a maze. she's wearing a nice dress which seems to show that she's been in the Eternal Happiness room, but she is not satisfied
she wants more of the Temptation, she is hungry for more
she's looking for the apple again
next scene we see Eunha
a white version of the orb rolls towards her, this is meant to show that she has the chance to return to the holiness that she was before
she doesn't like it, it bores her and she wants the Temptation again
next we see Yuju smoking the Butterfly, I don't know about the Butterfly but the smoke represents that she's seen the raw Temptation and it's ruined her or something
I'm gonna reach the Max amount of images on a chapter, but the members kiss eachother/ the apple and then it cuts to this dance scene
so this shows they have all been corrupted by the Temptation and empty promises of Eternal Happiness, none of them are happy which shows the Eternal Happiness was a lie
Eunha is given the raw Temptation again, and it seems she is tasked to do something with it because in the next scene
she opens a case with the orb and butterflies fly out
they are seen transparent here
so this shows they are dead inside from the Temptation
---
okay I think I know what the Butterfly means now. it's the pure holiness, Yuju was smoking it which shows she was exploiting her holiness and that's how she became corrupt
please watch the MV because I think I made no sense during this :|
also send me your theories, I would love to discuss them with you :))

Lyrics that stand out:
"Why does that icy decision hurt me so, it was a mistake"
"Bright red Ruby draws me in"
"Lead me into more temptation"
"Callin' me, Callin' me, Callin' me, the world inside me crumbles"
"Glittering crystal" (The red orb)
"Translucent glass beads glowing red" (They describe the orb as translucent, and the final scene they are shown translucent also; they are one with the orb idk)
"There's no turning back"
