I've listened to all their title tracks but just casually. The moment they released the O Sole Mi0, I became suspicious. Singing about the Sun...
And the first theory on it that comes on Google:
『 What's the mysterious symbol on the burning wall? 』
When watching OSM MV, I know a lot of fans are curious about this one burning symbol that appears on a wall. It was never easy to find a clear direct explanation or answer on what this symbol is! However, after non-stop researching, I finally found something that could relate to what this symbol actually means!
If I'm correct, this symbol is planet Jupiter! The reason why Zuho throws a fire ball at the wall which then forms the shape (symbol) of Jupiter is simply because one of the common symbols associated with this planet is thunderbolt - thunderbolt is often connected to fire. And to make things more interesting, eagle is also one of the symbols associated with Jupiter which could be again referencing Horus aka falcon head Sun God. Hmmm....interesting!
Alchemical Symbols of planets
In addition, I'll discuss planets on here too because I feel there is a need to reveal how the solar system is heavily influenced in O Sole Mio concept!
『 The solar system and its association with SF9! 』
There are some clear associations between the solar system and SF9. Below are just two connections I found that I thought were worth discussing.
1・Knights Of The Sun logo portrays the Solar System?
On SF9's KOTS album, the logo is circle and it seems to be inspired by the solar system! If you look carefully, you'll notice there are multiple sized circles with really small sized balls that come in different sizes. I personally noticed how these balls are actually depicting the Earth, Mars and the Moon. So how did I find out they're actually these three specific planets + Moon? Well I simply looked at these small dot's positions and they match the positions of these planets + moon in the solar system!

2・SF9 members represent the solar system itself?
This theory is interesting and might be true (I hope!) Let's ask ourselves, how many planets are there in the Solar System now? The answer is Eight! So let's look back at the OSM MV theory where I discussed about the choreo in the beginning is mimicking the planets orbiting the sun, we can assume that the eight planets and sun are actually 8 SF9 members as planets and Rowoon as the sun!
Why was O Sole Mio released on a Thursday?
This might be a reach however I'm gonna throw it in anyway because I think it's fascinating!
Okay so originally Thursday was actually called Thor's Day in old English. The day was named after Thor, the Norse God of thunder! Also, in most Latin originated languages, Thursday is named after Thor and the planet Jupiter. For example in Latin language Thursday is called Dies Jovis which translates to Day of Jupiter. There is a clear connection between this God and the planet Jupiter because both depict thunder and power. Oh wait, maybe that's why O Sole Mio is Latin Pop? Okay nevermind.
Further, it is said in ancient mythology that Thursday is ruled by the planet Jupiter and is dedicated to the God of Thunder, Thor. Spellcasters (those who perform magic), choose this day because it is believed as the proper day to attempt wealth, prosperity, luck and money spells!
We can link this to SF9 because as discussed in the Ancient Egypt theory, the members are seen
performing magic in O Sole Mio MV.
