Lore/Analysis/Girls' Capitalism

## Music Video

The Girls Capitalism music video is about self-confidence and often todays youth within our Generation, a similar concept to Acid Angel from Asia's Generation music video.

The Girls' Capitalism music video has quite a few references to Christianity. It is most likely tripleS lore is heavily revolved around Christianity or Catholicism, as we can notice throughout other tripleS music videos as well. Firstly, at the near beginning of the music video, 9 Christian crosses are seen on the wall.

EVOLution makes a cameo appearance in this music video, Through SeoYeon's phone. This could be linking SeoYeon from her transition through the +(KR)ystal Eyes Dimension to the LOVElution Dimension, as SeoYeon is the only +(KR)ystal Eyes member in the subunit.

## Concept Photos and Music Video Teaser

When the Photo concept teasers were being revealed, WAV noticed that Yubin's teaser was the only one who was not looking in the mirror.

    In Generation, the lyrics states "환상 속의 미로, 나를 비춘 넌 mirror, ooh yeah" which translates to "The maze of illusions, Me-in-you, that's a mirror, ooh yeah".

A WAV on Twitter came up with the theory that LOVElution is connected to Acid Angel from Asia. The WAV suggests that YuBin realizes that she has transported into a different Dimension but she has not adjusted to the change, whereas HyeRin has. HyeRin is taking advantage of the change of Dimension, she is taking advantage of not being in the catholic school anymore so she is free to do what she wants. Which is why she is wearing a lip ring, to try out different things that she couldn't do whilst at the catholic school. However, YuBin is wearing Catholic Cross Earrings in her concept photo teaser, which is why she is not looking in the mirror because she has not adjusted to the change and is unsure right now.

The WAV suggested that the whole concept is revolved around YuBin, hence why there is also a b-side named Number 8, relating to S8, YuBin.

WAV on Discord also realized that SoHyun is the only member who does not have a reflection in the member concept photos, which also connects with SoHyun's ghost theory in the Touch+ lore. During the Touch+ lore, it was mentioned that SoHyun is possibly a ghost, it was also mentioned that SoHyun is probably linked with 'The Last Supper' painting that was shown during the Touch+ music video.

Jesus predicted that one of the apostles present of The Last Supper would betray him.  Later, Judas betrayed Jesus. John 12:6 introduces Judas’s thievery by saying, “as he had the money box he used to take what was put into it.” In the music video teaser, SoHyun is holding a skull that holds money like a 'money box' suggesting that SoHyun is portraying Judas.

Another WAV came up with the theory that SeoYeon is controlling SoHyun. Based on the Rising Music Video, we know that SeoYeon was controlling the other members with 'Mind Manipulation' on the bus. Those who have the mind control ability can control the mind of others depending on the level of ability. Whilst being under control, the controller can control things such as thoughts, perceptions, memories, emotions and personality. In the Music Video Teaser, SeoYeon is the only member who is wearing white.
