트리플에스(tripleS +(KR)ystal Eyes) ‘Cherry Talk’ MV +(KR)ystal Cherry Talk' MV

## Main Theory

At the beginning of the music video, ChaeYeon gets a notification from an app called 'Cherry Talk'. The music video revolves around phones, texting, Instagram etc. Acid Angel from Asia's Generation Music Video is also revolved around Instagram Stories and TikTok, showing the connection between both DIMENSIONs. It is most likely that +(KR)ystal Eyes is representing the opposite of Acid Angel from Asia.

+(KR)ystal Eyes are seen in a similar bedroom setting as in Acid Angel from Asia's Generation Music Video.

At the end of the music video, SooMin sends a text message saying 'Do you want to see the tortoise?' (in Korean), and Kotone, YeonJi and Nien are shown travelling in a vehicle, most likely to see +(KR)ystal Eyes.

Usually the cherry emoji 🍒 carries many different layers of meaning, especially this detail has been cleverly integrated into the mv. Firstly, the cherry season usually lasts from May to August and is associated with summer, just in line with +(KR)ystal Eyes' promotion time. At the same time, cherry also has the second meaning layer of friendship, bestie always accompanies each other and is tied together by the book above. Throughout the MV we can see this through the fact that kre is a group of friends that are closely connected through a phone and an invisible internet wire.

The phone is one of the details that are intimately attached and emphasized throughout the +(KR)ystal Eyes era. +82 is the phone area code of Korea. +(KR)ystal Eyes here is a metaphor for the lens of the phone. Not only that, but in the lyrics Cherry Talk also mentioned "Already Full 6.1 (Inch)". 6.1" is the average screen size of smartphones. In the digital age, we humans are sometimes caught up in virtual values ​​through social networks, making it impossible for us to get out.

"A never-ending story
Can’t get myself out of this" - +(KR)ystal Eyes

"Never-ending circles

Can't get you off my mind" - Acid Angel from Asia

The turtle 🐢 symbol is also a featured detail. Similar to the emoji cherry 🍒, the turtle symbol 🐢 also has many interesting meanings:

1. In some cultures is a symbol of peace, healing and protection.
2. In Korea, turtles also symbolize knowledge to predict the future, people often build stone turtle statues in front of the temple gate as a prayer, wish and hope to send.
3. Soomin's calligraphy is "만사형통" (all things go well), the image of is to show slow but sure, luck, put faith in the success of this debut.

Bipolar disorder is defined as a mental disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, an erratic mental state that causes sudden excitement such as excessive excitement or hyperactivity, often fall into a state of depression. Common symptoms include being active to expend energy, hearing strange voices or hallucinating, etc. (mania), lack of exercise, dislike of social interaction, etc. (depression).

Although the mv does not directly refer to this disease, we can see the above symptoms through the members' actions: JiWoo does not get along with his classmates, uses drugs to adjust her mind. self status. ChaeYeon lulled in the room, except for the scene on the car at the end of the mv, the scene of ChaeYeon was mostly indoors, similar to Acid Angel from Asia's room. SooMin's case is the opposite, works a lot to expend energy, has some violent expressions (sends the gun to SeoYeon). Another special point is that in the frames, Except for the existing member, the remaining 3 people all have a box symbolizing their presence in the chat room. However, in SeoYeon's car segment, all 4 people do not have a box to imply that S1 (SeoYeon) is the one who leads, guides and heals the members.

In the last segment, all 4 memes are happy and sitting on a flower-filled car, freer than ever, no longer needing to depend on drugs or other people's emotions. Thereby, we want to convey the message: everyone has their own true values, don't let them be overshadowed by prejudice and public opinion.
