i was like rewatching the video and i found this comment so imma add my own theory : Backstory : so like from ep 3 of SMCU we can see that nævis had essentially broken her duty and left the FLAT to help the aespa members fight the Black Mamba, thus the gods or deities of Kwangya (?) we’re disappointed in her and wiped out all her memories and powers, thus the members lost the communication with their æs. After defeating the Black Mamba, the REAL WORLD started glitching, evident in MY WORLD : A Strange Phenomenon (this can also tie to the storyline where nævis teleported to the members to help them beat BM). Yet in Drama something changes, now instead of fighting the Black Mamba they are fighting their clones. Where did these clones come from? Who knows. Theory : And now in Supernova the aespa members have different powers. They themselves are the aliens in Supernova and its quite evident with their behaviour (like Winter what u doing bestie). In Armageddon the aespa members are being disrupted by this ‘Super Being’, who i assume has some sort of tie to the aliens. Moreover in Armageddon u can see theres so many clones of them as well scattered across (especially that one winter scene) which can also back up the story that happened in Drama. So in some way i guess that the Super Being is controlling them in some sense and now the new villain in their storyline. Because someone is watching them over the CCTV cameras, watching their moves. Edit : There is also a theory that Supernova and Armageddon girlies are fighting over each other which can also be true. The Super Being is seen hurting the members and most notably the scene were her hands literally breaks Karina’s head (after the THROW IT BACK THROW IT BACK BORN LIKE A KING BORN LIKE A QUEEN YUHH). Moreover in the beginning of the M/V we can see a literal sand storm going on and who has air manipulation powers? WINTERRRR. Also the scene where Ning2 is looking up to the Super Being and her eyes changes to her symbol meaning shes now ready to fight or thats how the Super Being is controlling them. Throughout the music video they are also dancing in front of the Super Being, implying that it is watching over the girls. And idk why the villains in their lore always get Karina but in the Armageddon M/V, you can see the Super Being is consuming Karina (as well as Ning2 because in the photoshoot she has one eye missing and has some kosmotic lump on her eye ). Edit 2 : i finally got a hold of the scans of the album and Armageddon is essentially a cosmotic rift where the girls from different parallel universe come together to fight due a shift in their Universe. In the supernova trailer u can see the girls destroying everything around them and a green liquid is flowing out of it, that is apparently the reality that is being disrupted. Thats why supernova and armageddon girlies are fighting against each other. (Yeah im in this aespa shi for life 😻🫵🏻)

For aespa I think it might also be a direct reference to the famous art depicting Will o' the Wisp as a couple of fairies dancing around a snake. Aespa did have fairy wings every now and then at the time, and it has come back in a more nefarious way in Armageddon regarding Winter.

blue flame is one of the songs that has a special place to me , mostly because I really enjoy the way the the lyrics show the fun and beauty in overcoming your fears paired with a funky beat and pretty melodies with a fun choreo to watch too but also because had never really thought about the will o' the wisp having that kind of roll in a story and not just being an alluring trap, so the song left a lasting impression on my view of will o' the wisps btw a little correction: illusion released on june 1st that year, a month after blue flame on may 2nd, not 10 days😭

God I miss Early 2022 Le Sserafim, especially all the Blue Flame stages. The song went platinum three times in my room. One thing that always hooked me in for the song (outside of that baseline) had to be the chorus’s percussion (?), the thing that sounds like a flickering light going on and off repeatedly. It’s a funky sound that I keep focusing on, and much like a Will o’ the Wisp, will appear and disappear throughout the entire chorus. God take me back to the two weeks when they performed Blue Flame and I religiously watched the videos after finishing School work back in… high school, God I feel old now. Also if anyone is curious my favorite stage is the muted olive green Lara Croft-esque outfits and specifically Eunchae’s Highlighter orange lined jacket. If she wasn’t given lines or center parts, I’m glad they gave her a huge statement piece.

not being a native English speaker I always wondered what "Will o the wisp" was from Aespa's song and why were the lyrics always "will o the wisp" but I could never hear they say that (I can only hear "dwi gi do ge dal bwi" which is a bunch of nonsense probably) Also I did not know that Blue Flame was also about that! Great to know more about the meaning of these songs and how they relate to the groups's lore!

Astro's Blue Flame from November 2019 is about running to/chasing an unreachable blue flame. Also Stray Kids' Thunderous/소리꾼 music video heavily features 도깨비불 goblin fire not in the lyrics but the visual effects. The flame obviously tied into the SKZ metaverse story at the time, but potentially also refers to becoming 소리꾼 (a legendary master artist or singer) as SKZ' own blue flame they are chasing irl because they love breaking the fourth wall like that.

Blue Flame was a big part of what made me decide to stan Le Sserafim. I love the theme of forbidden desire. On the topic of will o the wisps, to me they always remind me of Brave and to a lesser extent Frozen 2. In those potrayals, they are calls of fate that lead the protagonist out of the first act into the second. I think that parallels really nicely with Le Sserafim's narrative very much being about second acts.

Been boppin to Blue Flame again recently hahaha it’s the perfect walking around-sunny day song for me. Also every time I hear “will o’ the wisp” I either think of the movie Brave or the vague folklore I learnt about will o the wisps in school as a kid (I’m from Ireland). I believe the Irish name for them is teine biorach? If I remember correctly. I never dug into what it meant in literature until I heard both these songs, I only knew the fairytale/mystical sense of the word. But yeah! Both these songs having the same phrase and being released in the same chunk of time was very odd! So glad you made a video about it!! Unrelated-ish but is there an alien/otherworldly/superpowers/extraterrestrial concept “trend” this year? Both newjeans and aespa have had a lot of alien/super references in their music and variety content. Also illit super real me, with the whole superpowers theme

Blue Flame had a huge hold on me when it came out, I looove that song. I remember watching basically all their stages when Le Sserafim debuted and I reaally hoped they'd release more tracks like Blue Flame cause it was just so damn catchy. This video is great bc I was definitely wondering the same questions at some point too! I wasn't really aware of the will of the wisp folklore until these songs so it was definitely a slight intrigue to have two really catchy songs with the same hyperspecific reference in my playlists at the same time. I also never understood how you were supposed to hear "will of the whisp" in Illusion 😭 i only knew it was there from reading the lyrics and nothing else ?? anyway yea fun video! ty for scratching that brain itch haha

Yes it is! Both stories are about mysterious/mischievous lights leading others off their paths. Will o the wisps from what I was taught as a kid were either spirits/apparitions or fairies floating over bogs and marshes that would lead people to their demise of being swallowed by the bog itself. And jack o lantern was from the story of Stingy Jack who tricked the devil and was then not allowed to go to heaven or hell and his soul was eternally condemned to roam around in the limbo so he begs the devil for some light and he receives a piece of coal that he then puts into a turnip (and now people use pumpkins)
