Song text:

Oh, in a blink, gone
Blink, gone
놓칠 수 없어
Blink and gone
The clock goes tick tock tick tock
무조건 즐겨봐
Blink, gone
Oh, in a blink, gone
Let's go

오늘 이 순간
다시는 오지 않아
파티가 시작돼
And let’s go crazy high
두 손 흔들어

리듬에 몸을 맡겨봐
이 음악 On and on
푸르른 조명은
내 눈을 간지럽히고
난 웃음 짓고
시릴 듯 빛나는 이 시간이
사라지기 전에

Oh, in a blink, gone
모두 잊고 즐겨봐
Oh, in a blink, gone
놓치지 마 이 순간
I’m tellin’ you
Blink, gone
후회는 남기지 말아
The clock goes tick tock tick tock tick tock
Blink, gone

Oh, in a blink, gone
Blink and gone
지금 만끽해
In a blink, gone
머리는 비워
짐은 필요 없어
파티를 책임져
And no, don’t look back now
어제도 내일도
나에겐 없는거야
It’s this moment, or no

검붉은 공기는
우리를 감싸안고
맘을 일으키고
뜨거운 이 전율은
하늘 끝까지 퍼져나가

Oh, in a blink, gone
모두 잊고 즐겨봐
Oh, in a blink, gone
놓치지 마 이 순간
I’m tellin’ you
Blink, gone
후회는 남기지 말아
The clock goes tick tock tick tock tick tock
Blink, gone

Verse 1 (Till):
허락해줘 네 손 끝까지
허락해줘 네 발 끝까지
네 눈에 날 녹여주길
널 놓치고 싶지 않아

부디 내게 상처를 내줘
부디 날 아프게 해줘
내가 한 방울도 안 남을 때까지
너로 물들여

Chorus (Till):
무너질 이 별들까지
흐려질 영원에 묻힌
차가운 네 입술 끝에
읽어줘 날, 그래 날, oh, oh

Verse 2 (Ivan):
내게 주던 날카로운 말도
내 눈 밑 생채길 내도
네 혀 위 남아들길
다 부숴도 괜찮아

지금 나의 상처를 봐줘
지금 나를 치유해줘
내 불안이 그저 가라앉도록
네게 물들게

Chorus (Ivan):
그려질 이 밤들 위에
쓰러질 고요에 질린
날 보는 네 눈동자에
마셔줘 날, 그래 난, oh, oh

Bridge (Both):
끝없는 이 노래
서로를 향해 춤 춰
우리의 이야기
영원에 묻힌 채

Final Chorus (Both):
무너질 이 별들까지
흐려질 영원에 묻힌
차가운 네 입술 끝에
읽어줘 날, 그래, 날
그려질 이 밤들 위에
쓰러질 고요에 질린
날 보는 네 눈동자에
마셔줘 날, 그래 난, oh, oh

Song text:

빛을 등져도 돼 넌
빛나는 태양도 잠식시켜 my star
슬픈 눈빛 속에 세상을 다가진 완벽한 피사체
My savior, 가련한 영혼이여
I don't believe, you are a liar
나의 어둠과 너의 어둠이 겹쳐질때
그대로 내게 맡겨

Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart
영원히 아름다워
Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart

끝이 없는 the wall
낮이 없는 추락
한순간에 (무너트릴)
눈이 멀어지고 들리지가 않아
부서진 my world
My savior, 가련한 여인이여

Make me your god, I can give you everything
나의 어둠과 너의 어둠이 겹쳐질때
그대로 내게 맡겨

Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart
영원히 아름다워
Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart

Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart
Ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart, ruler of my heart

Song text:

질척한 어둠 웅크린 모습
고개를 저어도 늘 같은 자리
닿지 않는 너, 나 홀로 상상을 해
빛이 나는 너, 옆에 선 나

So black, black as it can be
다가가면 갈수록 깊어지는 dark sea
Like a black, black sorrow
A story of such woe

이 이야기의 끝에는 피로 물든
시린 자리와 텅빈 공기뿐

너의 눈길이 닿는 곳에
네 손끝 스칠 곳에
하염없이 너만을 기다리고
검은 어둠 속 붉은 빛
모래시계를 돌려
긴 시간을 너와

So black, black as it can be
다가가면 갈수록 깊어지는 dark sea
Like a black, black sorrow
A story of such woe

이 이야기의 끝에는 피로 물든
시린 자리와 텅빈

Such black, black sorrow
그리고 너
언제나 나에겐 너
Black sorrow
나에겐 너
Black sorrow
나에겐 너
Black sorrow

[Intro]
Come on! Come on, now!

[Verse]
Nothing was my everything
텅 빈 날 채운 Melody
너야, Alright
내 감정의 Error : No better options
흔들리는 Paradigm
내 세상이 뒤집혀도 상관없으니
I wanna know
All about you (ya)

[Bridge]
No more takin' it slow
너로 인해 꽃피운 내 감정의 에델바이스
(You'll never know)
I don't wanna stop

[Chorus]
Don't even think this time's enough
'Cause you baby still it's not enough
(For me, alright?)
Don't leave me, li-li-da-da-da
'Cause you baby still it's not enough
How dare you think this time's enough
Ain't nobody but you're the one
That I'm feeling it's love
Don't be afraid, come on

[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
'Cause I like it better
(Feel like I'm crazy, oh yeah yeah)
(Come on!)

[Chorus: Sua, Mizi]
오, 나의 Clematis
심연에서 핀 희망
오, 나의 Clematis
항상 곁에 있어 줘

[Verse: Mizi, Sua]
높은 칠흑의 담
이곳에 피어난 너
네 눈 안의 은하
별빛이 펼쳐지네
끝없이 깊은 암흑
네 향으로 널 찾아
무한에서 잠들어도
내 우주 떠나지 마오

[Chorus: Mizi & Sua]
오, 나의 Clematis
심연에서 핀 희망
오, 나의 Clematis
항상 곁에 있어 줘

[Bridge: Mizi & Sua]
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

[Chorus: Mizi]
오, 나의 Clematis
심연에서 진 희망
오, 나의 Clematis
제발 곁에 있어 줘

[Outro: Mizi]
Ah 나의 Clematis.

Sua love sing this song when she alone

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 7 retains the one-on-one (1v1) duel format. Participants perform a song, and the winner is determined by the alien audience. The loser is executed on stage. However, unlike previous rounds, where the participants broke the rules themselves, this round was rigged from the start to ensure the desired outcome.

🎭 Participants and Song

In the final, Till and Luca face off. They perform "Blink Gone"—a fast, aggressive song intended to be Till's signature performance.

Till takes the stage heavily drugged: the aliens drugged him so he could perform, but not fully control himself. His rebellious spirit still smolders, but his body and mind are subjugated to their will. Luka performs in a blue, backless suit, a reference to his tragic past, and he himself is a "pet," a pawn in the game.

⚡ Performance: Manipulation and Trap

The finale was rigged in Luka's favor from the very beginning. The aliens used Till as bait to lure out Hena and Mizi, the "special guests," whose return became the highlight of the evening.

📊 Voting and Result

The voting wasn't fair. The finale was orchestrated in advance: the aliens didn't need a winner, but a spectacle—the return of Mizi and Hena to the stage.

· Formal winner: Luca. He triumphs, once again confirming his status as a "perfect star."
· Actual outcome: Till loses, but he isn't executed immediately. Instead, he dies in Mizi's arms, who runs onto the stage. He looks at her, tries to hold her hands—and at that moment, the lights go out.

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 6 retains the one-on-one (1v1) duel format. Participants perform a song, and the winner is determined by the alien audience. The loser is executed on stage. However, as in previous rounds, the participants find a way to circumvent or break the system—but while Till did so through rebellion, and Ivan through control, here it all ends with an act of self-sacrifice.

🎭 Participants and Song

In Round 6, Till and Ivan face off. They perform a duet of "Cure"—an original composition written especially for this round.

The song is the culmination of their complex, tangled relationship, which has lasted since childhood in Anakt Garden. The lyrics of "Cure" are full of longing, pleading, and confessions that neither of them could utter out loud.

⚡ Performance: Confession and Sacrifice

The performance begins as a typical duel, but quickly turns into a deeply personal drama.
Till's Depressed State: Till takes the stage emotionally crushed. After Mizi's "disappearance" in Round 5, he has lost the will to live and sees no meaning in what is happening. Unlike Round 2, where he was a rebel, here he is subdued and devastated.
Flashbacks: During the performance, the audience is shown painful memories from his childhood—experiments, fights, moments when Ivan, unable to express affection in any other way, bullied Till, stepped on his flowers, and fought with him.
Ivan Takes Control: Ivan, seeing Till's state, takes the initiative. He performs his part with a cold, almost deadly determination, knowing that this round will be his last.
Climax: Toward the end of the song, Till stops singing. Ivan, noticing this, drops the microphone, approaches him, and kisses him. Till tries to push him away, but Ivan doesn't back down. After the kiss, Ivan begins to choke Till, prompting an immediate reaction from security.

📊 Voting and Results

Formally, the audience vote wasn't completed in the usual sense.

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 5 maintains the one-on-one (1v1) duel format. Participants perform a pre-agreed song, and the winner is determined by the alien audience. The loser is executed on stage. However, Luka, a two-time winner, uses the rules not as a framework for fair competition, but as a tool for psychological pressure, without breaking any formal prohibitions.

🎭 Participants and Song

Round 5 pits Luka—the winner of Season 49 and a "perfect star"—against Mizi, still reeling from Sua's death. They perform a duet of "Ruler of My Heart." The song is written from the perspective of a man offering himself as a "savior" and "god" to someone lost and broken.

⚡ Performance: Psychological Torture

Luka's performance isn't a vocal duel, but a planned harassment disguised as a romantic performance.

📊 Outcome: disqualification and "disappearance"

The audience vote was not completed. Pushed to her limits, Mizi physically attacks Luka and begins to choke him on stage. Security barely manages to pull her away, leaving Luka wounded and bloodied.

🎤 Format and Features

Round 4 retained the one-on-one duel format, but for unknown reasons was omitted from the main storyline. Viewers saw neither the performance nor the voting. Instead, information about it was provided through brief references at the beginning of Round 5 and in supporting materials.

🎭 Participants and Result

According to available information, Round 4 featured:

Luka – a two-time winner of the show and the most experienced participant.

Durian – a participant with green hair, whose name was revealed later.

Luka won decisively. The beginning of Round 5 shows a scene where he kisses Durian's bloody hand, confirming her defeat and execution.

💔 Hidden Tragedy: Hena

Hena, the future leader of the rebellion, officially also participated in Round 4. She lost to Luca but survived, escaping the arena and losing a leg in the process. Her survival was an exception to the rule and one of the first signs that the system wasn't absolute.

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 3 retains the one-on-one (1v1) duel format. Participants perform a pre-agreed song, and the winner is determined by a vote of the alien audience. The loser is executed on stage. However, Ivan demonstrates a different approach: rather than breaking the rules like Till, he bends them, using the stage as a tool to express his own feelings.

🎭 Participants and Song

Ivan faces Marty, a participant from the 50th episode of "Anakt Garden." His design resembles Sua, which fans believe may foreshadow Ivan's own tragic fate in the future. Ivan performs "Black Sorrow," the lyrics of which, according to the audience, contain allusions to his own death. Unlike the other participants, Ivan uses a standing microphone, and his stage is designed like a planet.

🎭 Performance: Dancing with the Star

Ivan's performance is a polished, almost hypnotic performance, devoid of aggression but full of hidden tension.

Psychological Pressure: Ivan doesn't try to outshout or overpower his opponent. Instead, he completely captures the audience's attention, forcing Marty to exist on the periphery of his performance. He wins by a landslide, without any dirty tricks.
Song Meaning: "Black Sorrow" is a declaration of love addressed to Till. In the lyrics, Ivan calls Till a "shooting star"—something bright, beautiful, and unattainable that he, Ivan, can't hold on to.

📊 Voting and Result

Ivan wins decisively, receiving 90 points to Marty's 68. This margin is one of the largest of the season, highlighting Ivan's undeniable superiority as a performer. Marty is executed on the spot, and Ivan advances to the next round.

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 2 retains the one-on-one (1v1) duel format. Participants must perform a pre-agreed song, and the winner is determined by a vote of the alien audience. The loser, as in the first round, is executed on stage. However, Till demonstratively breaks the established order.

🎭 Participants and Song

Till's opponent is Acorn, a participant from the 50th episode of "Anact Garden," who, according to the backstory, was in love with Sua and was rejected. He was proud and competitive, but also recognized his opponent's talent.

Instead of the planned duet, Till performs his own song, "Unknown (Till The End...)," which he wrote himself, infusing it with his feelings for Mizi. It was a rock number, and Till appeared on stage barefoot, wearing a white T-shirt with black spray-on graphics and red pants, carrying his guitar.

⚡ Performance: Rebellion Against the System

Till's performance directly challenged the show's rules:

· Ignoring the Opponent: Till started singing before Acorn, not giving him a chance to begin. He drowned him out with his voice, completely capturing the stage and the audience's attention.
· Murdering Freddy: When Acorn tried to intervene, Till smashed his guitar—a lesser alien named Freddy. It wasn't just an instrument, but a living being, making the act even more shocking.
· Demonstrative Superiority: Till didn't just win—he obliterated his opponent mentally, leaving him no chance.
For breaking the rules (singing over his opponent and killing an alien), Till was punished immediately after his victory: he was placed in restraints, and his collar was left on during his performance, which was not usually done because it interfered with the contestants.

📊 Voting and Result

Till achieved a crushing victory, receiving over 100 points—a result considered abnormal for a normal contestant. Acorn was executed on the spot, and Till advanced to the next round, becoming the first contestant in Season 50 to openly challenge the system.

🎤 Rules and Format

Round 1 is a one-on-one (1v1) duel in the format of a vocal showdown. Participants perform a song, and the winner is determined by a vote of the alien audience. The main rule: the loser is executed on the spot, and the winner advances to the next round. Any attempt to kill an opponent is punishable by immediate death by the guards.

🎭 Contestants and the Song

In the first round, Mizi and Sua face off. They perform a duet of "MY CLEMATIS," which tells of their mutual love and reluctance to part. Unlike other performances where the participants compete, Mizi and Sua sing together without any sense of rivalry, but simply with the desire to be together on stage. During their performance, the audience is shown a series of flashbacks of their childhoods at Anakt Garden, their first meeting, and their development into close friends and then lovers.

📊 Voting and Result

The outcome of the duel is decided by the aliens' vote. The result is dramatically close:

Mizi receives 87 points and becomes the winner.
Sua receives 86 points and loses.

Sua deliberately loses the duel, sacrificing herself so that Mizi can survive. She meticulously rehearsed her performance, even giving up some of her vocal parts to Mizi to make her appear stronger.

💔 Outcome and Consequences

Losing by one point, Sua is executed on stage in front of Mizi, who witnesses the death of her beloved. This death becomes a profound trauma for Mizi and the central event of the entire series, shaping her future behavior and motivation. Although Mizi wins the round and advances, the victory proves bitter and devastating.

🛡️ Rescue and the Beginning of the Journey

Their acquaintance begins in Round 5, when Mizi, distraught over Sua's death, attacks Luca on stage and is sentenced to execution. It is Hena who saves her from being shot and takes her to the rebellion headquarters. This act was not simply a matter of duty. Hena recognized her past self in Mizi and saved her, in part, to deal with her own trauma and guilt.

💥 A Clash of Two Worlds

Despite their rescue, their views on the world and how to love radically diverge. This leads to frequent conflicts within the rebellion.

· Hena's Goal: She thinks globally and works for the future. Her goal is not just to save specific people, but to destroy the "Alien Stage" forever, even if it means sacrificing the lives of some captives. She follows the plan to send the Voyager Golden Record as a symbol of hope for future generations.
· Mizi's Goal: She thinks concretely and acts in the present. Mizi wants to save her living friends (Till and Ivan) here and now, and cannot accept the idea that someone must die for the sake of a "greater purpose." She hates the very idea of passive waiting and is willing to do anything to prevent a repeat of Sua's story.

🪞 Two Sides of the Same Coin

The creators repeatedly emphasize that Mizi and Hena are "two sides of the same coin." They are similar in their pain, but opposite in their reactions to it.

🕊️ The ending: the tragedy that changed everything

The tragedy of Mizi and Hena is that their paths diverge at the most crucial moment. When Hena sacrifices herself, shielding Luka from a bullet, it becomes the last straw for Mizi. Hena dies for the man Mizi hates, and she does so out of a complex sense of love and revenge, not for the sake of the "bright future" of the rebellion.

💔 One-sided love and idealization

Till had been in love with Mizi since childhood, back in Anakt Garden. For him, she became more than just a girl, but his "salvation" and "deity," a muse he worshiped and adored. He often drew her and composed songs about her, but avoided direct contact, observing from the sidelines. It has been officially confirmed that his level of affection for Mizi is 100%—the highest he's ever felt for anyone.

However, this love was immature and idealized. Till fell in love with the image of the "beautiful and kind" Mizi, but didn't truly know her as a person. When Mizi asked him why he loved her, he panicked and replied, "Because you're beautiful." This answer, while not reflecting his true feelings, reveals how awkward and incapable he was of expressing his affection.

🤝 Mizi: "The Friend" Who Wanted Intimacy

Unlike Till, Mizi saw him as a friend and genuinely wanted to get closer. She considered him "cool" and creative, but Till, afraid of seeming clingy or being rejected, constantly avoided her, which created distance between them.

The situation was exacerbated by the fact that Mizi loved Sua, and Till, respecting their relationship, didn't try to change anything. When Mizi told him she loved Sua more than anyone in the world, he simply replied, "I know."

🎤 Key Moment: "Unknown (Till the End...)"

Their dynamic is vividly revealed in Round 2, where Till performs "Unknown (Till the End...)," a song entirely dedicated to Mizi. The music video shows him watching her, drawing her portraits, and watching her performance in Round 1 with despair and adoration.

At the song's end, as Till collapses, Mizi looks at him with a sad and distant expression. This look reflects their tragedy: she sees his feelings, but cannot and will not accept them.

🕊️ Post-Timeskip: Role Reversal

After the events of "Alien Stage" and the timeskip, their relationship undergoes changes. Till, having experienced Ivan's death and Mizi's "disappearance."

🎭 The Masks They Wear

Both Mizi and Ivan grew up in a dangerous environment where love and survival were inextricably linked and required "transactions." They both created performative versions of themselves to protect themselves.

Mizi plays the role of a "sweet and friendly girl," hiding her true, more complex and damaged nature.
Ivan wears the mask of a "confident and charming guy," while inside, he's empty and distant.

Their connection is unique in that they see each other's masks. Mizi knows Ivan isn't perfect, and Ivan understands that her naivety isn't quite what it seems. This creates a silent understanding between them.

🤝 A Friendship Based on Trust

Despite their masks, their friendship is an island of safety where nothing needs to be pretended. Mizi's level of closeness with Ivan is 75%, which is significantly higher than with Till (30%).

🔄 Parallels and the Tragedy of Misunderstanding

Their stories are mirror images of each other, making their connection even more tragic.

· Similarities: Both have experienced trauma, both are forced to pretend, both seek connection but are afraid of it. Their deepest essence is frighteningly similar.
· Tragedy: They were never able to truly connect. Mizi doesn't see Ivan as a kindred spirit because she doesn't recognize his trauma. And Ivan, out of self-deprecation, doesn't try to break down her walls, perhaps believing he's unworthy of her friendship. Their relationship is "a friendship that was never destined to be more."

📖 Role in the Plot

Their interactions occur primarily against the backdrop of key events. Both lose control at critical moments: Mizi attacks Luka in Round 5 over Sua's death, and Ivan sacrifices himself in Round 6 for Till. This reveals that beneath their masks, both hide a deep, destructive passion that ultimately determines their destinies.

🌱 How it all began: the light in Anakt Garden

As a child, Luka was an "empty shell," created in a lab and unable to understand what it meant to be human. In Anakt Garden, he sat alone under an artificial tree, counting his fingers to make sure he was still alive. It was there that Hyun-na approached him, sat down next to him, and began counting his fingers with him. For Luka, this was his first real human contact and the first moment he felt alive. From that day on, they became inseparable, and Luka truly smiled for the first time in his life.

💔 The tragedy that shattered everything: Hyun-woo's death

The idyll was shattered when Luka, who harbored deep feelings for Hyun-na, attempted to kiss her, horrifying her and causing her extreme distress. Her younger brother, Hyun-woo, jealous of his sister's relationship with Luka, confronted him. During the fight, Luka misjudged his strength and hit Hyun-woo's head on a rock, killing him. From that moment on, Hyun-woo's world collapsed, and she hated Luka, though deep down she still loved him.

💔 The essence of their connection: love through hate

Their relationship is a painful contradiction, where feelings are tightly intertwined.

🕊️ The Final Sacrifice: Forgiveness or Revenge?

In the final scene, when Luca is shot, Hena shields him with her body, dying from the bullet. This act is not simply an act of love. Hena does it partly out of revenge, knowing that her death will cause Luca the same pain he caused her by killing her brother. But it is also an act of supreme self-sacrifice, one that only she is capable of, because despite everything, she still loves him. After experiencing her death, Luca regresses to childhood, unable to cope with his grief.

🏫 Childhood in Anakt Garden: A Strange Friendship

Ivan and Till were classmates in the 50th edition of Anakt Garden. From the very beginning, their relationship was far from simple friendship—it was one of constant bickering and pranks, which nevertheless became an integral part of both their lives.

🏃 Escape Attempt: "Meteor Shower"

As a child, Ivan, tired of watching Till suffer, devised an escape plan and removed his collar. The two of them fled Anakt Garden under a meteor shower, a moment when they both seemed truly happy. However, Till stopped at the last moment, let go of Ivan's hand, and turned back—he couldn't leave Mizi. Ivan, left alone, followed, resigned to the pain of his love for Till.

This episode marked a turning point: Till chose Mizi, and Ivan forever remembered that his feelings were not reciprocated. After this, Ivan became even more provocative, and Till even more avoidant, which only deepened the chasm between them.

💔 The Heart of the Tragedy: Love in the Blind Spot

The key problem in their relationship is a total misunderstanding. The official artbook states that Till's affection level for Ivan is 70%, and Ivan's for Till is 100%. However, neither of them could comprehend this.

🎤 Round 6: "Cure" – The Sacrifice and Its Consequences

Their confrontation in Round 6 was the culmination of this tragedy. Till, having learned of Mizi's "death," was emotionally crushed and lost the will to fight. Ivan, realizing he couldn't live without Till and that he was "strong and must continue to live," consciously chose to lose.

· Kiss and Choke: When Till stopped singing, Ivan approached him, kissed him (Till tried to push him away), and then began to choke him. From Ivan's perspective, this was "the last thing he should have done for Till to survive" – his actions alerted security, who shot Ivan.

🤝 How it all began: meeting at Anakt Garden

Their story began within the walls of Anakt Garden, where Mizi, alone and desperately trying to make friends, heard Sua singing one day. She listened to her for a month before she plucked up the courage to sing along, and from that moment on, they became inseparable. Sua, withdrawn and cold with others, opened up only to Mizi, seeing her as a safety net and an escape from her own loneliness and fear of being hurt.

💞 The essence of their connection: "Codependent" and toxic love

Official sources describe their relationship as deeply codependent. They were each other's entire world, an isolated "bubble" from the outside horror, and this isolation only strengthened their attachment.

However, this love was mutually selfish and destructive. Sua saw Mizi as an "innocent and fundamentally perfect person" who needed to be protected at all costs, while Mizi idolized Sua, calling her her "universe" and "god." The official artbook states that the intimacy level between them is 100%—the highest possible between characters.

🎤 Round 1: Sacrifice and Its Consequences

In Round 1, they performed "MY CLEMATIS" together, ignoring any sense of rivalry and wanting only to sing together. Sua intentionally lost 86-87, sacrificing herself so that Mizi would survive. She meticulously rehearsed her own death and even gave Mizi some of her vocals. Mizi, who, as it turned out, knew about Sua's plan but chose to pretend ignorance, witnessed her execution on stage. This became a profound trauma for her and a source of lifelong survivor's guilt.

💔 Mizi's Tragedy: Life After Sua's Death

Sua's death devastated Mizi. In Round 5, Luca cruelly exploited this trauma to unsettle her, causing hallucinations. It was officially confirmed that Mizi, although she managed to "get back on her feet" after the shock, was devastated. Sua, on the other hand, couldn't live without Mizi—her love was what made existence without the object of her adoration impossible

👁️ Appearance

Ivan is the tallest of the "Alien Stage" members, with a large build. He has black hair cut in a side parting and black monolid eyes with red pupils.

Face: He has a gap between his front teeth (a "snuggle tooth"), which gives him a mischievous look when he smiles. However, when he stops talking, his aura instantly becomes menacing and dark.

💔 Character and Trauma

Ivan is a character whose personality was shaped by extreme emotional deprivation. He grew up in the slums, where he likely witnessed horrors that forced him to shut down his own feelings.

· Emptiness Within: As a child, he resembled an empty vessel—he didn't understand emotions, couldn't interact with his peers, and simply mimicked the behavior of others to appear normal. Official sources describe him as "a cold cynic whose inner thoughts are completely different from his outer appearance."

📖 Backstory

Ivan was born in the slums and spent his first years there without alien supervision. On February 14th, he was adopted by an alien named Unsha, who bought him as a gift for his wife.

👁️ Appearance

Mizi is a glamorous beauty with a figure distinct from the slender Sua. She has fair skin, long pink hair that gently gradates to cornflower blue at the ends, and golden-brown eyes. Outside of the competition, she wears glasses. She has a silver tattoo of her name on her right shoulder.

💔 Character and Trauma

Mizi is the most outgoing and positive member, making friends easily and always being the center of attention. However, this is only a carefully crafted facade.

· Toxic Positivity: In the comic "The True Face" (2025), it is revealed that her naivety and cheerfulness are a deliberate survival tactic. She suffers from toxic positivity, caused by the neglectful and abusive environment of her owners. She is painfully aware that many in Anakt Garden (especially the men) admire her, and she exploits this.

📖 Backstory

Mizi's childhood was far from rosy. In the comic "My Fragile God, Fading Fast," it's revealed that she witnessed the death of her mother (or her mother-figure) when she was crushed. She was later taken in by an alien named Shine, who kept her like a fish in an aquarium, along with jellyfish and other creatures. One day, an anglerfish bit Mizi so hard that she lost consciousness, after which Shine bought her a television, where she first saw "Alien Stage."

In "Anakt Garden," Mizi felt lonely and had a hard time making friends. One day, she heard Sua singing the melody that would later become "MY CLEMATIS." For a month, Mizi listened from afar, until one day, she began singing along, attracting Sua's attention. From that moment on, they became inseparable.

👁️ Appearance

Luka is an androgynously handsome man with pale skin, soft, wavy, tousled light-gold hair, and yellow eyes of the same shade.

Clinical Features: Due to a congenital heart defect and the experiments he underwent, his fingertips are a bright purple tint (cyanosis). Surgical scars are also visible on his body.

A large, long bow is worn on the back near the collar, and purple epaulettes connected by chains hang on his shoulders.

💔 Personality and Trauma

On stage, Luka is a charming and charismatic prince, but his true nature is ruthless, manipulative, and cunning. He easily exploits the weaknesses and grief of other members to ruin their performances.

Lack of Empathy: Luka is incapable of healthy affection and compassion. He was raised without affection and constantly instilled with the fear of death, which has left him emotionally deaf.

📖 Backstory

Luka is not a natural-born human, but a clone created by his "Guardian"—an alien named Heperu. Heperu, a former lab assistant obsessed with surpassing his mentor, created Luka as the "perfect participant" for the "Alien Stage."

Role in the show

Luka is the most experienced and dangerous contestant on the "Alien Stage." He won both Seasons 49 and 50, making him a "complete star."

Round 5: In this round, he competes against Mizi with "Ruler of My Heart," cold-bloodedly exploiting her grief over Sua's death to upset her and win.

👁️ Appearance

Tattoo: The name "Hyuna" is engraved in silver on her left chest, and a "human pet" brand is above her collarbone. Prosthesis: The lower part of her left leg is replaced with a prosthesis. She lost her leg during the escape after being crushed by debris in Season 49.
Clothing: She typically wears a tight-fitting black top with cobalt stripes and blue-to-yellow gradient leggings, along with a black tank top and brown cargo pants, tucking the left leg under her prosthesis.

💔 Personality and Injury

Hyuna is an energetic, confident, and free-spirited individual who doesn't let others dictate her behavior. She's outgoing, easily initiates conversations, and isn't afraid to approach people first. She's tactile and playful with her loved ones—she often hugs them and jokes around, maintaining a smile even in dangerous situations.

📖 Backstory

Hyuna, her brother Hyunwoo, and Luka had known each other since the days of "Anakt Garden" and were very close. Luka harbored deep feelings for Hyuna, but his attempt to kiss her caused her distress. Later, Hyunwoo and Luka had a fight that ended with the death of Hyuna's brother. Although it was an accident, Hyuna could not forgive Luka, seeing his complete indifference to the incident.

After her defeat in Season 49 of "Alien Stage," Hyuna was expected to die, but she escaped, losing her leg. She was rescued by the rebels—Isaac, Dewey, and Jacob. When Jacob was kidnapped and tortured by aliens and later died of his wounds, Hyuna became the new leader of the rebellion.

👁️ Appearance

Sua appears younger than her age. She has very pale skin (paler than the other members), short black bob hair, and violet eyes with thick eyelashes and drooping outer corners. Her petite figure and doll-like features create an image of refined yet aloof beauty. Her name is engraved in silver on the right side of her neck—an identifying tattoo. Her stage outfit consists of a short white dress with a large bust, long sleeves, a crescent-shaped headband, and pearl earrings.

💔 Personality and Trauma

Sua is an introverted and withdrawn character, an "ice princess" type. She rarely speaks and interacts with almost no one except Mizi, causing those around her to consider her unapproachable. However, behind her cold exterior lies a deeply traumatized psyche.

📖 Backstory

Little is known about Sua's past. She grew up in Anakt Garden with Mizi. According to an interview with VIVINOS, Mizi struggled to make friends until one day she heard Sua sing. She listened to her for a month before accidentally singing along, and they became inseparable. Sua also has an older sister, who apparently also grew up in Anakt Garden.

🎤 Role in the show

In Round 1, Sua and Mizi performed a duet of "MY CLEMATIS." It wasn't just a competition number, but a deeply personal story. Sua intentionally lost the duel 86-87 so that Mizi could advance to the next round and survive. She meticulously rehearsed her own death, even lending some of her vocals to Mizi.

According to official reports, Sua was afraid of dying and prayed to higher powers for salvation in her songs, but she nevertheless consciously took this step. Her death was not a sacrifice in the noble sense, but rather an act of despair and a selfish desire to end her own suffering.

👁️ Appearance

Till has the appearance of a "fragile but unbreakable" young man. He has tousled gray-green hair and turquoise, cat-like eyes with dark circles under them. His name is tattooed on the left side of his neck, but he usually keeps it hidden. His main visual detail is the collar and leash he wears constantly, even as an adult, symbolizing his status as a "dangerous" pet.

💔 Personality and Trauma

Till is a deeply traumatized character. His delicate and timid nature has given him a very strong rebellious spirit. He's a creative genius, but clumsy in human relationships, especially romantic ones. His behavior is a defensive reaction: behind his aggression and rudeness lies low self-esteem and emotional instability. Since childhood, he suffered abuse at the hands of aliens, which left a deep mark.

📖 Backstory

Till was born naturally to a woman named Io, who was taken in by the Sejeins. It was Io who taught him love and hoped he would be loved by others. In "Anakt Garden," he was in episode 50 and was the youngest of the contestants. Due to his rebellious nature, he became the target of particularly harsh punishments, as evident by the bruises in his debut video. His collar and leash are not only a symbol of control but also a marketing ploy to portray him as a "dangerous rebel" to viewers.

🎤 Role in the Show

Despite his injuries, Till is a talented performer. His debut song in the prologue, "Unknown (Till The End...)," reveals his troubled past. In Round 6, he performs "Cure" against Ivan. Interestingly, in the Final Round, his opponent is Luca, and according to spoilers, Till is defeated. However, it is later revealed that he survived the gunshots, but his throat was permanently damaged.

👽 Who are the Segyein?

The Segyein (세계인, literally "people of the world") are a highly advanced alien empire that conquered Earth in 2038. Their very name reflects their worldview: they consider themselves "people of the world" or the universe, and humans merely "pets" from a tiny and insignificant planet. They are not just a race, but a multi-planetary and multi-species society, where the term "Segyein" means "person" and "Wagyein" means "non-person."

⚖️ Society and Hierarchy

Their society is deeply hierarchical. Even within the Sejein themselves, social stratification and discrimination exist. Owning a singing human is not just a whim, but a marker of prestige and social status. Winning their "pet" in a show brings fame and high social standing to the owner.

🎭 Role in the show "Alien Stage"

Sejaein are the creators, sponsors, spectators, and judges of the show. They don't just watch; they actively shape the industry: they run Anakt Garden, invest in training, and profit from their performances. For them, human singing is more than just music, but a valuable and coveted resource, one they're willing to go to any lengths to obtain.

👤 Guardians and Owners

Aliens who keep humans are called "Guardians." This is a euphemism that conceals the true nature of the relationship between owner and property. A guardian's power is absolute: they control the life, training, and even death of their "pet," viewing it solely as a tool for achieving their own goals—be it commercial gain or social status.

🎯 Motivation and Entertainment

The Sejaein's primary driving force is entertainment and status. The "Alien Stage" show is their primary source of thrills, where human life is the stake in a gamble. They revel in the spectacle of talent, despair, and death intertwined, and victory brings them not only pleasure but also social recognition.

🎛️ Control and Management

To maintain this system, the Sejaein employ the total control.

🏫 Purpose and Status

· Official Purpose: Music training and preparation for participation in the "Alien Stage." The institution was founded after the show's popularity grew.
· Reputation: Considered the "number one music kindergarten in the universe" for human wards. Tuition is very expensive, so the "guardians" are exclusively wealthy aliens.
· Control: The institution is owned by the Anakt Group, and the curriculum includes the deification of its CEO, Anakt.

📚 Education System

· Main Focus: The majority of the curriculum consists of music classes: vocals, dance, and instrumental performance. There are also mandatory subjects, such as "Maintaining a Healthy Body and Mind" and "Religion and Music."
· Hidden Goal: The training is aimed at "stabilizing emotions" and "blunting the concept of death," so that participants don't comprehend the horror of what is happening on stage. Classes: Class assignments are based on a compatibility analysis of students. Students are assigned to a class until graduation.

⛓️ Housing and Supervision

Collars: All pets wear restraints (usually around their necks) with a light indicator. "Excellent" pets may have their collars removed earlier.
Artificial Flowers: Machine-like flowers, imitating Earth anemones, are planted throughout the grounds. Micro-cameras are hidden in their stamens for 24/7 surveillance.
Garden: An indoor virtual space created by aliens as an imitation of "Paradise" based on human perception data. It appears eerie and "wrong" because it was created without a full understanding of humans.

🧪 Hidden Aspects

Experiments: Cruel biological experiments are conducted in Anakt Garden to create "exceptional" pets. For example, training may include heart rate monitoring to instill a fear of death. · "Culling Out": The institution periodically gets rid of those it considers "low-profit" in order to improve the "quality of the product."

🎤 Competition Format and Rules

"Alien Stage" is a brutal reality show in the format of a survival tournament, where the contestants are humans and the audience and judges are aliens.

Contestants: Each season features eight "human pets." The series begins with the show's 50th season, underscoring its long-standing tradition.
Structure: The competition follows an Olympic system: quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final. In each round, contestants compete in one-on-one (1v1) duels.
Performances: The performance format is not limited to singing. Contestants can dance, play instruments, or use any other stage production.
Voting and Death: The winner is determined by votes from the alien audience. The loser of the duel is executed on the spot, right on stage. The winner advances to the next round, and so on until only one finalist remains—the season champion. After the execution, the body is cremated, and the ashes are scattered over the grounds of Anakt Garden.

The story takes place in a future where Earth has been invaded by an alien race known as the Segyein. Following the invasion, humanity has lost its freedom and been reduced to the status of pets, slaves, and a source of entertainment for its new masters.

Humans, now dependent on the aliens, live in special conditions. They are not only kept as exotic animals but also used in the entertainment industry. For these purposes, they are trained, and some are experimented on, to prepare them for participation in this world's greatest event.
