"As We Are" starts off with Seungmin under a streetlight (Changbin-coded??) and he's positioned to look like he's inside the giant full moon.

With the lighting in that first section, it's hard to tell what colour the moon is supposed to be. There's blue lighting all around, but the moon itself might be slightly red-tinged.

After the streetlight goes away, the background graphic changes to something that is much more like a blue moon on a red background.

I keep getting distracted from the reason I started to post about this in the first place, which is:

This part of the #AsWeAre video

In which #Seungmin pitches a baseball to himself, catches it, then turns to stare through the window at the giant blue full moon, while tossing the baseball up in his hand and looking thoughtful.

When we see #Hyunjin running back into danger, the lighting is red. #skzRedLighting

Hey there's that blue moon again, for the wide shot of the area where this is happening. #skzBlueMoon

What's going on with Hyunjin on the blanket, draped in chains, in the blue-tinged room? Where he's holding the shard of glass. It looks like he's sacrificed himself and put himself back into bondage, given up the happiness he had with Chan. #skzBlueLighting

#BangChan's shots are all blue-tinged as he looks for Hyunjin, or looks out for him?? And then he cracks and goes red. He has to go get his boy back.

Hmm hmm I thought that the blue moon was associated with #skzBlue team and the #skzRedMoon with #skzRed team, but I don't know if that's how they're using the blue and red coding in this video.

They can be chill when the lights are blue-tinged. But when the lights are red-tinged, it's bad (I think??) and they have to escape.

Shadowy hands up against the windows as the lights turn red.

Is #Hyunjin likely to be noisy? Is that why #BangChan must slap a hand over his mouth? To muffle his noises? Very helpful of him.

Brave and determined Hwang Hyunjin will hold off those attackers no matter what, and will buy time for his beloved Chan.

Chan's alarm and worry when he realises what Hyunjin has done 🥹

Behind him, the circular shadow of the barbed wire reminds me of #skzBlueMoon.

I have some vague memories of the dual moon imagery in skz videos *before* #Levanter, but I don't know if that's really a thing or I'm muddling my memories.

I want to go back and watch again *right now* but I have other things to do this evening, alas.

#skzRed team and #skzBlue team were explicitly defined last year in #skzCode 59, part 1 of #FallFieldDay.

The HOP album also came in red and blue versions, with the members' solos mostly (but not entirely) color-coded to match their teams.

The exception was Railway (coded red). If there's a secret reason why it was the exception, I haven't figured it out yet. Graphic designer missed the memo??

The MVs for the blue team's solos all included a #skzBlueMoon or, in #LeeKnow's case, a #BlueCake. (I'm counting that cake because it's round like a moon and also 'mooning' and 'cake' can both be associated with butts, so there.)

The MVs for the red team's solos did *not* have a common item appearing in all of them, as far as I can see. But the recent fan meeting featured a #skzRedMoon in the stage backgrounds for at least 3 of the songs. For this to be a deliberate red team reference, there would have to be a 4th occurrence that I missed, and I'm sure it's there somewhere.
