"YooA - Bon Voyage teaser reaction: Realization"

It has been awhile and now might be a great place to start. YooA of Oh My Girl is finally getting her Solo this September 7 2020. OMG has been having one hell of a year despite what has been happening and YooA might just continue that positivity with her debut track Bon Voyage.

Now I don't normally react to just the teasers for an MV because that is all they are , teasers but when some Miracles(OMG's Fandom) floated the idea around that this new MV might be related to another MV(and they are usually right) it got me writing again. 

Well the 1:21 minute teaser follows YooA as she drives through a cedar lined road which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere.  Her cars break down and fog starts to flow in from everywhere and as it clears,she drops her glasses , there in the middle of the road is a gigantic white wolf moving toward her one gigantic step at a time.

Is there fear on her face? Why yes , the Ultra High Def camera seemed to capture every clear inch of that angelic face as it turned from realization , fear and acceptance. 

She closes her eyes twice in this sequence , the first as if wishing the image away and the 2nd knowing the fate that might befall her in this empty stretch of road.

Before I go on about the connection an older song I just wanted to point out that this is the first time that any member has used a dangerous animal in a video(Albeit CG , thanks WM for spending all the dough on YooA. It will be worth every cent). OMG has been known to be associated with cute animals like Monkeys and Pink Whales. They have also been associated with graceful Deer like in Closer or Windy Day.(Oh my Bong , the official light stick even features this design prominently)

And there I have mentioned that last song that might be a connection to this Solo song of YooA. Windy Day. There is a scene there where as Deer(with Antlers) YooA and Seunghee are running on an empty stretch of Road , as if caught in the bright lights of a vehicle , they are running out of fear. 

Windy Day and Bon Voyage if sources are to be believed was shot on the same Ancient Cedar Lined Road in Jeju Island!!! If so we have finally come face to face with what they have running from on that dark night. This Giant White Wolf. 

Why did YooA come back? What will happen to her? She is saying good wishes to those who will be going on a journey. Is she saying that herself as she accepts her fate after escaping from it all those years? Or is she saying goodbye to her fears?

Come September 7 , 2020 we will be able to find out more. The feel of this teaser seems like a cut scene from a cool video game and there is that high expectation in the air. I will wait. I will see.
