When SM introduced this concept everyone is all like, this is creepy and they shouldn't be doing this. Now that people see what they're doing everyone wants to know what's next. Proving once again that SM doesn't follow the pack...they are the leaders

Do you remember Irene and Seulgi ep 1 Naughty? It is connected to this episode. Irene and Seulgi's concept is a twin concept (in monster and naughty). You can see there's a two naevis in ep.1 Black Mamba, bad naevis as the black mamba at 14:53 and good naevis who help aespa at 15:52. There's a theory that said Irene and Seulgi are the two naevis, and if you remember watching Irene and Seulgi ep.1 Naughty, 17:04 kwangya was built by Irene and Seulgi in naughty video. They are the founders of kwangya, you can rewatch it on naughty video. AND YESTERDAY SEULGI SAID SHE IS THE BLACK MAMBA (Idk if she's joking or not but she said that) Another supporting theory, I found this on the comment section of naughty video. If you analyse naughty lyric, it is connected to what Black Mamba's doing right now. They are playing HIDE and SEEK (naughty lyric). I&S will do their best to HIDE and the players should also do their best to SEEK but the catch here is them saying "can you handle us if you found us".

The BGM in the last part after the credits is the dubsteps part in “Monster” by RV-I&S, just to remind if you guys didn’t notice kkkk. That’s why there are theories that say Irene and Seulgi play Black Mamba and Naevis roles, they’re sisters, one bad and one good. The proof is on Naughty MV they separate at the end, and that is when kwangya was formed. Kwangya means the isolated land like deserts or something like that.

I like that all the "terms" from the lore are actual words, just sometimes stylised. SYNK is basically how they sync(synchronize) with their ae selves(SYNKOUT is quite self-explanatory) REAL WORLD is just irl FLAT is the digital space KWANGYA means wilderness in korean

No it's not Monster, but they used the same sound just like in Monster so it might be a reference/hint

Some word that maybe u dont understand in the SMU's video. 1. KWANGYA is a border between "flat" and "real world" 2. FLAT is ae's world 3. SYNK is a connection between ae and aespa's member 4. SYNKOUT is a condition that when aespa's member can't connect with their ae 5. Nævis is the ae that can open the door between FLAT and REAL WORLD (KWANGYA) My opinion about KARINA, i think she isnt a traitor. All around Her ae is full with black smoke that prove she and her ae has being control by the black mamba. But i dont know why black mamba choose karina and her ae between winter, giselle, and ningning. Is it because the desire of karina and her ae that bad or somethin' else? Because beside the data that we upload everyday in SNS influence the form of our ae, the desire can be influence too. Personally, im so amazed with the creativity of SM in making a storyline, the theory, the trend of their artist. Im so exited with the next episode of this SMU's journey!

Yesterday, I saw a tweet that defines Carina Constellation (Sorry, I can't find it anymore), but per Google, The stellar southern constellation Carina is part of the ancient constellation known as Argo Navis. Then one of Karina's line in Next Level is "That's my Naevis . It's my Naevis" (pronounced as Navis). It seems like she is not a traitor but more like she's "hacked". The reason why she is chosen is still unclear, but there could be a twist in here since there are many characters that needs to be revealed. Red Velvet is a possible Black Mamba, because of I&S MVs. Karina's screen name was maybe chosen for a reason and the whole SMCU does not use letter C, because everything was changed to K.

You should react to NCTmentaries too, it's connected to SMCU too, actually, it's the start of NCTmentaries

The first time KWANGYA said is back in 2013 if I'm not mistaken. Therefore every group that SM introducing are all connected 😉 just a fun fact.

Also Seulgi accidentaly spoiled today that they have something to do with the villians in this story

Aaron u r so sharp and probably one of the few people that understood this video.

Aaron be joining sm stans with theories😂

hahah the moment you said naevis I already sang the song in my head and you did it too! hahahah naevis calling

You should read the SMCU theories on twitter. This is WILD. It connects the SM Groups and it's just really mindblowing how everything is served on our faces all these years(even before aespa debut) but we had no idea at all hahaha

Thank you for your reaction æ - æ (pronounced like the word “eye“) are digital entities based on a person’s real existence. Each aespa member has their own æ. FLAT - The FLAT is the digital world where æ-aespa live. KWANGYA - KWANGYA is the unprescribed, infinite digital world beyond the FLAT with no rule or form. NÆVIS - NÆVIS (pronounced and sometimes spelled “NAVIS”) is the AI entity that connects the portal between the FLAT and KWANGYA. O.S - Short for “Port of Soul,” P.O.S is a portal that connects the FLAT with the real world. REKALL - REKALL is when æ cross over to the real world. SYNK - SYNK is the act of connecting with your æ to share secrets, thoughts, and emotions. MY - When aespa and æ-aespa SYNK, they become MY, which is said to mean “the most precious friends.” MY is also aespa’s official fandom name. Black Mamba - The Black Mamba is the evil entity in KWANGYA that disconnects aespa and æ-aespa’s SYNK. ©Koreaboo

First EXO, NCT, Red Velvet's concept and storyline were moving at their own pace differently but introduction of Aespa and SMCU is making all this connected and something big is gonna happen and Im here for it. The BRAIN's of people working at SM, chef's kiss.

I'm really amazed that SM always dares to start a concept that other think it's too complicated, they always dare to do something new, they really like to innovate.. i swear all of SM theory always hard to believe and make it one of the best in KPOP

I Swear Aaron is the only reactor who likes Snakes this much :D .... almost everyone hated seeing them even in the MV, while Aaron here is petting the Black Mamba as 'oooh snakey lil snakey' lmao !

Black Mamba is the main Villain of SM Culture Universe. It represents the hate speech and antis of Kpop. And there are also 2 places, Kwangya and KOSOMO. (KOSOMO is beyond Kwangya) Black Mamba lives in Kwangya and also it created that place. SYNK means æ is connecting with hers real. (e.g., æ-Winter calling Winter) but now they can't connect with them, so it's called SYNKOUT (check the lyrics in Black Mamba Winter's part). You should know nævis isn't æspa member but! she is the leader who open P.O.S for æspa to go Kwangya. (check the lyrics in Next Level Karina's part) [That's my nævis, that's my nævis. You lead we follow] nævis means "butterfly" in korean (the pronunciation is same) so the members who have the butterfly sign is nævis' man. But! there's one thing that æ-Karina wasn't SYNKOUT because it was hacked by Black Mamba. That means æ-Karina is Black Mamba's man. (Karina is also Black Mamba's man bcz æ and real person have connection) I hope this is helpful for you Aaron! Actually I don't know very well about æspa but I have to learn cause NCT and æspa have lots of theory connection.😂

Early!

In order to understand sm culture universe, you have to almost know all of sm artists because as the main director of sm company said they are all connected, also many people think that taemin is the BLACK MAMBA and aespa is here to help exo save the world cause they are now in a conflict with x-exo!!!!

Fyi: SM Entertainment has collaborated with Marvel, that's why the AESPA storyline feels very intense and the details are told. Aespa is like a superhero whose enemy has written down, namely black mamba, marvel will definitely step in to help make the storyline of aespa and the SM universe more than now. Because all groups in SM ENTERTAINMENT really have concepts like exo which has super powers for each member, Girls generation is a goddess, aespa has ae, so marvel is also interested

Kwangya is the wilderness - it could be imagination, freedom, creativity, whatever you think it is in terms of an infinite. Black Mamba isn't supposed to be there: Black Mamba is the criticism, the self-deprecating thoughts, the negativity. Black Mamba interfering in Kwangya means a disconnection between your self and that aspect of you. The interesting part is that both NCT and EXO talk about going *beyond* Kwangya, which is funny because can you go beyond infinity? Buzz Lightyear approves, and so do SuperM, who sang about Infinity in both One and Infinity. But seriously, that concept of "I'm the Other One, chillin' with them Other Ones"? it all points to that.

Please react to aespa's individual SYNK teasers, thank you!

12:54 you've seen ae-Karina has that kind of black smoke surrounds her? and also the Karina's (real) eyes turned black that's the time when Balck Mamba hacked both of them either or the ae only.
