[Instiz] Fan interpretation of iKON's "Long Time No See" stage

"Fan's interpretation of the meaning behind the background visuals of iKON's 'Long Time No See' stage:


First of all, I didn't notice to what extent the background visuals actually meant when I first watched it live.
There's a storm and on the sides you can see torn down buildings and in the middle, there's an unknown road or bridge.

Seems like this road is about their path to debut.  One risky bridge in a desolate background signifies their uncertain future as a trainee.
I would say this background represents the time of WIN or the beginning of their trainee days.


It changes to light shining against a dark background.  The light represents iKON's fans and the darkness is their difficult days as trainees. 


Slowly, a huge ray of sunlight starts to enter.


This is the background it changes to.  Not everything can be seen but it gives off the feeling of a sun shining from above.  This part seems to talk about a way out from their exhausting days as trainees and a path to begin their debut... the Who Is Next Final battle.


The light disappears and it violently breaks.  It seems like it's talking about when they lost the final battle.  As you can see in the background, there's a hexagon which might be signifying the six members of Team B.



Then the background comes back to this and it might be representing the start of Mix & Match.  A new start? A New path?  A new survival starts.



These are the same lights from before except that the lights have multiplied.  Doesn't that represent the fact that their fans who support them have also grown? 


And again the sun shining but doesn't it seem a little bit brighter this time?  I feel like this represents them being even that much closer to their debut.

[1] "Woah, daebak.  I really like that song, you know?  Hope they'll debut soon."

[2] "I'll be really touched and get goosebumps if that's what they actually intended to relay through their background."

[3] "That's pretty interesting"

[4] "If that's what they really meant, then daebak"

[5] "Woah goosebumps."

[6] "I never paid attention to the background because I was too busy looking at them but yeah that's pretty cool."

[7] "Can they just debut already?"

[8] "They've really gone through a lot since then.  Now all they have to do is debut!"

[9] "Heol.  I was actually there in the audience for their performance and I watched it so many times on Youtube but I only found out about this now."

[10] "I originally thought it was just another interpretation but because of the part where the glass breaks, I feel like that's truly what they meant by it.  Wish they would debut already."

What I find really interesting is that most YG artists if not all put such great detail into their stages, like for example Lee Seunghoon's choreography for the Win Final Battle, it's really amazing.

This proves ikon fans got a lot of time on their hand, YG debut them so the fandom can have other things to do #thethirstisreal

hannaxxy said...

You know the struggle is real when fan's start analyzing their past stages, so much for a "January" debut! And apparently they're supposed to come after Big Bang right? Ah, I hope YG actually stays on their planned time schedule.

hannaxxy said...

I literally got goosebumps over that choreography. Wow.

MMMOO said...

LMAO on a scale from 0 to iKON fan, how bored are you rn?

Kpopismylife2010 said...

I get teary eyed everytime I see this stage. BI lyrics were so heart warming. Long Time No See and Clamax and Wait for Me will always represent the struggle that the fans had to go through. I'm glad we are past that and now we get to see them grow and mature even more. Ikon lets finally debut!!

This song makes me hopeful. I'm actually still on replay mode when Climax comes on, but I still feel like crying every damn time.
I think that out of the three Climax is my all time favorite, the delivery when they sang it live.....
Whaow
*i even held my breath*
It really was great
I felt the same way as when I saw Big Bang singing live in front of me
The feeling of awe was definetly a spell inducing moment for me

Judyi said...

That Choreo was the best among all his works.
