Given Taken MV Theory - Orphanage Represents I-Land Part 4








After the dance break for the Given/Taken part of the chorus, but before the dance break for the "Woah-oah-oah-a--wooaah" part, we see Heeseung step onto the table that the other six are seated at. 

This represents Heeseung stepping up to be center/leader for Into the I-Land. Unfortunately, things go poorly and he steps down from those roles even though it is painful (symbolized by taking the pill and red eyes representing crying.)

(Watch out though; he's coming for you! 🧛)

Did he give up the leader/center role or was it taken from him? 🧐 Also, no one is at the table anymore. They have abandoned him.

He doesn't give up though. He's still fighting to walk to us and he will rise again with all those doubts behind him! (Perhaps representing when he had to muster the courage to protect his team by challenging his leader.)

-Alternative Explanation-

Taking the pill represents getting negative feedback from producers which can be a bitter pill to swallow, but makes you stronger in the end. 

Which explanation do you think fits better?

One last note, the dining area is full of tables, but only has seating at a table for 7. This represents the eliminated members of I-land and the number of chairs in the lobby decreasing after each elimination.
