ASAP Theories

#

all im getting from the mv rn is that the fairies/newjeans are being stalked by the bunnies

#

What if the black haired newjeans were the warners just like in cwy

verbal geyser
#

ok heres mine: asap is about the anxiety induced by having to interact with bunnies, the tictac conveys the anxiety, the music video shows bunnies following the members everywhere, and they are swimming because it feels like drowning. the lyrics are sung from the pov of bunnies

ig so

#

i think it fits pretty well but i dont think they would ever make a song with this intention lol

#

this lore gets better and better

i have some small theories:
in the asap mv the bunnies are stalking the fairy newjeans- there are a lot less solo scenes in this mv because newjeans are slowly realising that they are being stalked and are staying together

in the cwu mv newjeans are dressed in very flowy white outfits which might represent the lost souls of newjeans since they seem very out of place in the mv which may be foreshadowing what might happen to fairy newjeans

NewJeans and bunnies are endlessly curious about the other and always watching but there is always going to be an unseen barrier between them. Bunnies are seen as cute but they also clearly have the potential to be fear-inducing and creepy and this is just the natural state of the relationship.
Both sides always looking to know more about the other but the sense of fear and mystery will also always be there.
Also, NJ are a bunch of other-worldly ethereal and divine beings lol

#

ASAP takes it up a notch with the blonde wigs.

I also found a more bright interpretation from knetz, I'm just going to machine-translate because I'm too tired to do it manually:
*If you look at the lyrics
In the end, wait for a minute, there's still one more thing left to do and see, so let's go with me. I'll show you.
If you look at this, it looks like they are asking you to wait for the next album. Until then, let's wait together with the Bunnies.

the music video
Well, this isn't Shin Woo-seok's music video, so I don't think there's a need for such a detailed interpretation. To put it simply, Bunnies, who felt scary like monsters (or were they Pan from the interpretation text), or still far away, had phoning and fan meetings for a year and became like friends while communicating.

Additionally, in the beginning of the music video, they were seen diving into the water or going underground, but as the truth of the monsters was revealed to be rabbits, they came out of the water, came up from the basement, and the members woke up.

In conclusion, this song, the outro of the album, gave me a feeling of what New Jeans think of the Bunnies, and please wait for the next album because we trust each other.*

I like that too, very wholesome tokkilove

This is what I thought about the mv:
I feel like Ditto and ASAP are connected.
So in ASAP, the monster is a bunny(?)
So this could mean that the monster is us bunnies.

This could be something about the relationship between kpop idols and fans, because no matter where they go, the monster/bunny is still there. They kinda cant escape it.

The monster is always there, stalking the girls and seeking for their attention. Just like us fans, we want our idols to notice us, we want their attention. We are always waiting for updates. Basically stalking them to see if they posted something, and stuff like that.

Also the lyrics,
"Do you have the time, lets talk
Asap baby" and "just for a minute"
Its kinda saying like they wanna talk with us bunnies or its us bunnies who want to talk to them even just for a short time. Idk if yall get my point cause im so bad at explaining😭

Just like the Ditto mv, Most fans have deduced that it explains the relationship between kpop idols and fans. We are always present for them. Also the uniform are pretty similar, but theyre not the same ones tho. There is also a part where they were doing a similar thing in Ditto and ASAP. (Idrk how to explain this clearly sorry)

ok so I feel like in this part when there was that weird shadow running, it was like a hunter or smth and newjeans is being hunted down cuz they're either fairies or elves and at the other part there was multiple shadows with a bunch of eyes so maybe hunters invaded the forest which is like their home or smth and they're tryna escape? idk lol

i wonder what it looks like when you reverse the asap mv

jagged stone
#

the day night cycle is central to the plot

#

I also noticed there is no creepy imagery when they sing "just for a minute"

I just thought of another theory,

So i think, the monster refers to our responsibilities and Newjeans refers to us.

Lets start from the lyrics
"ASAP baby, hurry up dont be lazy"

  • It pretty much explains itself. Its saying that we shouldnt be lazy when it comes to our responsibilities.

In the mv, whatever they do and everywhere they go the monster is there. Watching them, seeking for their attention. But Newjeans just keeps on having fun while they ignore the monster.
Just like us sometimes, we ignore our responsibilities. Instead of giving time and attention to our responsibilities, we just try to forget about it and have fun with our lives. We choose to be lazy and think that our responsibilities dont matter.

ALSO THE LYRICS
"Hurry up, dont say maybe"
When it comes to our responsibilities, like the things we need to do, we keep saying "maybe ill do it later, maybe ill do it tomorrow, someday or next time"

So theyre basically telling us that we shouldnt keep saying maybe, instead we should actually do what we have to do because every person on this earth has responsibilities to do.

This could still be connected to ditto,
Because instead of spending our time doing something important or much more meaningful, we spend it on admiring kpop idols, watching kpop stuff, and were basically making them our responsibility and we just forget about the real responsibility that we have do.
(I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE)

(In short, we pretend that we are not aware of our responsibilities and that we keep running away from it)

# trim sparrow I also found a more bright interpretation from knetz, I'm just going to machine-...

if we go with the theory ASAP is about phoning, and communication between idols and the fans.
there is a connection to their 1st MV "we are newjeans" from the same video director, that is introducing the members and phoning to the fans.

About the ASAP MV:
when idols and fans are apart = no communication, waiting for a phoning live or phoning update = night = dark imagery and monsters
when idols and fans are together 'just for a minute" = chatting on phoning = day = outdoors and sunlight, no dark imagery or monster

Newjeans are telling their fans to wait so they can spend time together happily on phoning or at a fanmeeting. minjiduhh

The lyrics could be interpreted as your usual love story like most newjeans MVs, here about calling your lover on the phone, but the underlying message is clearly about phoning
Baby / Bunny, let's talk asap, hurry up pick up the phone -> spend time talking on the phone for a minute
