Fans wonder how the new album connects with the group’s previous work

When WayV announced their comeback, fans immediately began speculating on how Take Over the Moon connects with WayV’s previous albums.

“so dream launch was them planning their adventure out etc. take off was them literally taking off (‘launching’) & being on their way. now they’ve arrived & it’s time for them to take over the moon? (hence the clock). theyre on a space journey #WayV_TakeOverTheMoon,” a fan tweeted.

“And what if WayV in Dream Launch was on his way to the moon? At the end of the video you can see that they watch the earth from far away #WayV_TakeOverTheMoon,” a fan tweeted.
