Hyunjin death in skzverse(I'm not English speaker, sorry if you something not understand or I made a mistake)

I don't know how to start a story, but let me start it somehow mysteriously. Now I'm going to talk about a rather obscure topic and I saw it from an English blogger (as far as I know, English is not really the author's native language, but I'll call it English because of the language of the video, so…) in the video 2020-2021.

Actually, I should probably first tell the theory that the author presented, and then what led to what is written in the title of this… what is it? This theory.

It all starts with the significance of Hyunjin in the Stray Kids universe. Just so you understand, the author has a whole set of videos on what the characters of the Stray Kids mean or are in their universe. Naturally, I'll leave credits to the author of the theory and his video at the end, so I'm not assigning anything to myself, I just want to tell you all about it.

In the Stray Kids universe, Hyunjin is the key. In God's menu he makes an illusion of a keyhole through which he looks into the camera, actually repeating in detail the scene of Chan in another clip Double knot (you can watch the prologue of the video with this moment).

(Time-code in God's menu: 1:38)

The choreography in Back door also deserves special attention, where he starts it as the one who "opens the door".

Also in Side effects, if you remember, at the very end of the clip, the key that Hyunjin lost in this world but later found it in Double knot was shown (yes, I'm aware that keys are different in appearance and it looks more like the key from "the final piece 2019", but did you allow for the possibility that it can change its shape? Anyway, this isn't a particularly important detail and this insert is literally my author's piece, but… just read on, okay?)

Just because Hyunjin is the key that opens the door/portal to the next world, he becomes indispensable to the rest of the members, so they can't leave world without him. This is the reason why in Side effects skz coming back for Hyunjin.

In spite of all this, Hyunjin is the most skeptical of all the members. (As an example, he looks at Chan in Astronaut as if he's waiting for some answers from him).

A bunch of times he tried to warn us that something is wrong from the very beginning (i.e. District 9, I dare to assume that this is what the author of the theory had in mind, since the following is a frame from this m/v)

In the world of Miroh Stray Kids have been there twice (you can know that from the same prequel, I will naturally leave the original video from the JYP-oppa channel) and just the second time, Hyunjin seems to be one of the few, if not the only one, who is not impressed with the world of Miroh. Because he remembers having been there before. However, he remains silent as he knows that hardly anyone will listen to him.

Speaking of keys, or in our case, the single key mentioned above, this is the key that used to control the elevator (I daresay it's the same-old Hellevator) when skz get to the previously uncharted road of the YW or Yellow wood worlds.

As we remember, in Side effects throughout the clip, Hyunjin is acting a bit aggressive, and it's clear to see that he's fucked up(mentally or something like that). At the end of the clip, in this "cutscene," Hyunjin actually gives up. He's tired, it's clear to see, but the rest of his friends try to cheer him up and come back for him. What's my point? And this is me now to another reminder of how important Hyunjin is. If he decides to give up or end this whole mess, it won't be good for the Stray Kids at all, which is why they try to avoid such moments. In order for the Stray Kis to succeed, Hyunjin must not trust the illusions (that mean he must also be extremely cautious) and keep moving forward. This will all play an important role in the end.

Hyunjin can easily tell the difference between Jeongin and his clone in Astronaut by being himself and not violating the above points, with a clear mind. The same picture happened with other members and their clones(Hyunjin can also know who is who).

Now, having discussed how important Hyunjin's pure mind is and what he is capable of doing when that is the case, let's move on to his mistakes. There were two in total and they were shown as an alternate ending, at least in one of the cases for sure.

Let's start with the first one, which took place in the world of Side effects. The famous fight with Seungmin. Being under the influence of the world (which actually means the same thing as trusting an illusion), because of his emotions about the fact that no one listens to him and is unlikely to listen to him, he starts a fight with Seungmin. I realize that you don't really understand the significance of this whole event yet, so I think it's worth telling you a little bit about Seungmin now, too, according to the same author's theory.

Seungmin in this world represents a map. In many worlds he can be seen with a camera in hand and naturally it makes sense. In Miroh, as well as in All in, we can see Seungmin creating a map of the levels from his collected photos (the universe is compared to the game throughout the author's theories, if you didn't notice this above, then I, for some reason, decided not to mention this factor) so that we don't forget where he was, when and what happened there.

(Please pay attention to the background of the marked screenshots from All in, based on them we can assume that it was Seungmin who participated in the creation of these inscriptions and clues(?) on the board. Based on the silhouettes, I'm assuming that there were 4 people involved in its creation, namely: Hyunjin(he appears in the first screenshot, and after that he disappears somewhere; By the way, if you look a little more carefully, you can see that there are two Hyunjin and they are sitting almost back to back (if you can't see it in the screenshots, I'll send you to watch the m/v)), Minho (the assumption is based on the shirt he is wearing, he's the first one on the right in the background), Jeongin (second from the left after Hyunjin, again because of the clothes, since he's wearing a white t-shirt on top and a denim suit after that (I forget what that thing is called, so let it be a denim suit)), and Seungmin (he's the one sitting down).

In the I am not trailer we can see a moment where Seungmin draws something from a sample. From this, we can conclude that maybe he's just as good at cartography.

Now when we've talked about Seungmin, let's go back to the situation in Side effects. We can't say for sure that it was only the world's influence and Hyunjin's internal problems that made him do this (an example of the world's influence is the endlessly repeated phrase, "My head hurts"). He could have easily been pissed off by Seungmin's calm demeanor in the situation they were in in this world. Especially, he didn't know what reason Kim had for taking the pictures in the first place. The moment he knocks the camera out of Seungmin's hands is the moment he makes his fatal mistake.

Just as Hyunjin loses the key in Side effects, Seungmin loses the map in the same world. And all of this combines to cause the Stray Kids to self-lock themselves into Side effects. What Hyunjin started out as a normal fight with nothing easily turned into something more and that mistake turned out to be far more important. Well, hopefully now you realize how important the pictures Seungmin took were and we can go back to Hyunjin and his second mistake.

The second mistake, showing as the darkest alternative to Stray Kids, we have in I am you, to be more precise, in the second teaser, where we can see a rather interesting scene.

If you remember, Hyunjin's scene in I am you, is the scene with the filming equipment (spotlight, lapmas, lights and all that kind of stuff).

In the second teaser at the very beginning we can see a body lying surrounded by all this equipment. It's not hard to guess who's lying there. In this scene itself, we can see at least 4 members (with Hyunjin). Only one of the 4 figures moves in this scene and I can suggest that it was either Bang Chan or Felix (because of their blonde hair, although Felix has red hair in this era). Actually, whoever it is, he moves swiftly towards Hyunjin's body and passes by another member and the scene ends when the figure is halfway to the body.

Let's now discuss the reasons why this could have happened. The first reason is that Hyunjin just couldn't stand what was happening to him and jumped himself (from the way the body is lying, we can assume that it fell from a height) and the second reason is that he was pushed by one of the clones and maybe later, if it was his clone, he simply replaced it.

Also, this is my addition to this theory, is that Chan always knows more than the others. I mean, it's natural, but it seems like at some point, he start to believes that Hyunjin is the same as his clone from the future Double knot (remember, he helped Chan by giving him the key to travel between realities, at a time when the lives of both clones and originals were in very great danger because of the government, as well as the splitting of worlds or their unification). So in Astronaut, Chan was able to tell Hyunjin things he wasn't supposed to know, causing Hyunjin to split Chan's cargo. But eventually Hyunjin got over it and.. you know. This is another more extended version of the теории самагубства (self-m*rder theory).

Also, one moment with Hyunjin is very interesting. In fact, it has no connection to the above theory (although you can think of a way he could be connected to it), but it's also a pretty creepy moment. We all know that Stray kids are being watched in the skzverse. This can be seen in I am you, District 9, Double knot, All in and other such worlds. Have you heard M.I.A.? Have you seen the performance video? In fact, there's can be a whole separate analysis on it (maybe sometime in the future I'll pay attention to it), even though it's not a m/v, it's just a performance. I'm just talking about Hyunjin and one of the moments in that video. I'll just show you, and beyond that, I'll leave the moment to your theories and fantasies.

That's it, thanks for reading and listening, here's a video of Hyunjin's breakdown, as well as credits:

The official prequel, which should explain something:

(Well, here's a little corner of my theory. What if every time one of the participants dies, and since every participant is important to the Stray kids according to the theory above (I actually dedicated this part to Hyunjin and Seungmin, but this author also has theories about other participants, I'm just most impressed with this one. But if you consider the theories about the other participants, it seems that each of them is important, and most of the time the Stray Kids just can't get any further without one participant), then the universe is just restarted. If you compare it to the game, when one of the members dies, the Stray Kids just go to a bad ending and start over from the last save. Ok, just my theory, hopefully the "main theory" will be heard by a little more people because it's fucking interesting).
