The hashtag #Eugene began trending shortly after Yeonjun‘s character name was released and many fans began creating memes, placing him side by side with Flynn Rider from Tangled who shares the same name.

This may not just be a funny coincidence. Fans speculate that, much like Flynn Rider, who becomes part of the royal family at the end of Tangled, Yeonjun will also be a part of royalty, possibly even a king.
oh my god my eugene is a noble, king yeonjun👑 https://t.co/aZKRWOmWWv

Fans suspect that Yeonjun and Beomgyu may have some connection to each other, the name Eugene referring to royalty and the name Viken meaning ‘to conquer.’ There may have even been hints of this feud in TXT’s 2020 MMA performance.
🦊 is always portrayed as a king & 🐻 wanted to be the main character in drama mv. In mma 2020, Gyu knocked out the king in chess & in freeze concept photo, he’s the only one with a crown! By this, he will get yj’s crown along with his PAIN so, YJ should be healed! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/z2gWGzuvsM

Check out the full performance here:
One popular theory is that Beomgyu will be the villain of the story and Yeonjun will be the main character.
yeonjun’s meaning screams PROTAGONIST and beomgyu’s meaning screams ambitious psycho villian i said what i said https://t.co/8iwS5aUFst

Another connection that fans are making is in the names chosen for Soobin and Taehyun. Both names have to do with a body of water, with Soule meaning at the edge of the lake and Taho meaning a larger body of water.

Smaller bodies of water like ponds and lakes often form into larger bodies of water. Fans believe that this connection could be related to Soobin and Taehyun being portrayed as liars in the music video “Can’t You See Me?” It may be that their lies and secrets will start out small and end up creating bigger problems for the characters as the story unfolds.
Both soobin and taehyun are related to the pond, I think they really have something to do with each other. Remember the time when both of them are the liar in cysm 👀 https://t.co/f3Czs1ezMx

Check out the “Can’t You See Me?” music video here:
Hueningkai‘s name is related to birds, referencing the wings that his character is known for. He is often compared to an angel and is usually seen as innocent and naive.
Another meaning for name Avys!
Isn’t Huening Kai’s element on the story always related him with stuff like angel wings or sky….?

In the concept photo for Hueningkai’s character, he has a bird feather in his hand, strengthening the theory of his name’s meaning.
It could be that while all the other characters keep secrets, lie, and fight against one another, Avys will remain true to everyone and will be unaware of everything that is going on.
Ofc the liars and the kings are a pair, and then there’s our innocent baby maknae https://t.co/8Gac7TLVwu
