Flight Log: Trilogy Theory

(Fly, 2016)

(Hard Carry, 2017)

(Never Ever, 2017)

GOT7 is a 7-men group with members JB, Youngjae, Jinyoung, Mark, Jackson, Bam Bam and Yugyeom. The group released the three singles, "Fly", "Hard Carry" and "Never Ever" as a trilogy series. The albums are Flight Log: Departure, Flight Log: Turbulence and Flight Log: Arrival.

I love this trilogy series because the story is not only sad, but well played out. This is my theory:

In summary:

Jinyoung is the only surviving member of the car accident.

Why:

It starts off with "Fly" where the members are inside a car driving and ends of with "Never Ever" where Jinyoung is the only one waking up in the ER. "Hard Carry" shows the 'crash' and the other members saving Jinyoung from the water, which is also shown in "Never Ever" where Mark pulls Jinyoung up. Hence, in "Fly", all the members can fly because they are dead, hence 'angels'.

And the sad part is that you actually know when each member dies.

1. Jackson - he died on impact when the car crashed into the barrier. In "Never Ever", it shows Jackson crashing into a concrete wall.

2. JB - he died when the car plunged into the water after falling off the bridge. In "Never Ever", it shows JB lying on top of the car.

3. Youngjae - he died when he tried to break the windows of the car. In "Hard Carry" and "Never Ever", it shows Youngjae breaking the glass to get Jinyoung out.

4. Mark - he died while saving Jinyoung in the water. In "Hard Carry" and "Never Ever", it shows Mark reaching for Jinyoung and pulling him up.

5. Yugyeom - he died while he was rushed into the ER. In "Never Ever", the scene where Yugyeom is in the hospital hallway, Yugyeom is quickly swapped with Jinyoung. It also shows that Yugyeom is standing right outside the ER room while Jinyoung is still unconscious on the bed, meaning Yugyeom never made it to the ER.

6. Bam Bam - he died while he was being resuscitated. In "Hard Carry" and "Never Ever", it shows Bam Bam with an oxygen mask.

Putting the theory aside, the songs in this album are amazing. Each of the Flight Log trilogy albums have its own charms. You only have to listen once, or maybe just a little part of it, to know that it's a GOT7 song. All the songs are just easy and nice to listen to. Some songs, apart from the title tracks, have direct links to the storyline; just to name a few: "See The Light", "FISH", "REWIND", "Skyway", "Dreamin'" and "Paradise".

My favourites out of the new album has to be "Never Ever" and "OUT". And after listening to everything (and crying about it), I'm OUT.

Flight Log: Arrival is now released.

Never Ever MV was released at 12p.m. KST on March 13 2017.
