Refer to Gay Bar scene. 

As a fan of the kpop group, EXO, I noticed their group photo outside the gay bar, of course as a fangirl, I took a screenshot of it, then proceed to watch. After I finished watching the drama, I scanned my gallery and noticed the ss I took. I was laughing about it cuz of how random it was, then a thought suddenly came to me—that photo was from EXO’s Obsession era and that was in 2019 but the filming date of To My Shore was in 2025, so random, indeed. My point was, what if it was placed there ON PURPOSE, as it relates with Fan Xiao’s character, “Obsession” and when you play the song, the first lyrics you will hear is “I want you, I want you, want you” and it keeps repeating in the background, and the whole song, when you translate it to english (if you dont understand korean or the meaning), one of its meaning is about battling with your alter ego, an internal struggle that keep lurking in your head, fighting to escape with your inner demon, and when you read deeper about the song’s theory, you will know how awful and dark it is. 

If too lazy to read and find the theory, by simply reading the english translation of the song, you can understand the point of the whole song, and thus reminds me of Fan Xiao, his issue with kindness, and how his and YSL’s story goes, it all made sense to me, mind-blown, I say.

I realized this hours after I finished watching TMS, and I shared it here cuz I believed they (production team) put that Obsession poster image on purpose to relate with Fan Xiao and (a hint for viewers) as a foreshadow for the later episodes, esp their love story! Well, this is my personal theory, so I am not entirely right, may be a coincidence—but this was too perfect for a coincidence, but I will believe that the Obsession Image Photo cuz it made sense HAHAHAHA

PS. I have commented this on the page’s comment box (*spoiler*), so sorry if you saw this here too hehe I wanted to know if anyone noticed it too! 

did anyone noticed the EXO OBSESSION image too?
