It was actually a comment and a tweet reference to Hieronymus Bosch by another poster that got me intrigued, that got me looking into it further.
This is what I've found so far in references and symbolisms:
- The ending scene with Seulgi in some construction/building comes from Hieronymus Bosch' 'Garden of Earthly Delights' threeparter painting, namely the left pane depicting Adam & Eve in Eden:
- The full Bosch' painting is here (left pane is Eden, middle represents the Garden of Earthly Delights and the right pane Hell)
SPECULATION: does this mean that 'Feel My Rhythm' is the first of a trilogy comebacks, seeing how the MV ends with a scene similar to the left pane building, and how Joy talked about multiple RV comebacks this year?
For those looking closer into the MV, there are more Bosch painting references to be found, see the thread from the tweet above
- The hands movement with which Irene starts and that the other members use too represents the flapping of wings. Also it looks like RV members are represented by birds, seeing how Seulgi transforms from a bird to herself at the end?
- Paintings is 1 of the main themes of this 'Feel My Rhythm' MV next to the Hieronymus Bosch arc: the MV starts with the members alive in painter settings, and several scenes are enactments of existing paintings, like here
- some scenes, like the glittering ship, the large tulip that closes around an RV member, not sure if they're only references to Bosch' imagery or also references to fairy tales. Seulgi seems to be the Maleficent or sortlike character in this MV?
Any more references, secrets and Easter Eggs people have discovered? If so, post it here
