[Analysis]  How Billlie Use Story To Shape Their Sound

Hello and welcome back to HallyuTones- always focused on sound, stage and substance.

So far, we have covered how a consistent and health-oriented message shaped H1-KEY’s sound. We have also discussed how NMIXX embraced their concept to inform their music, performances and lore.

Today, we will be exploring how another group guide their sound, visuals and lyricism through a central narrative to craft their own intricate universe.

Introduction: The Billlie Love Mystery

Billlie are a 7-member girl group under the company Mystic Story Entertainment (an SM Entertainment subsidiary). The group is comprised of members Moon Sua, Tsuki, Haram, Sheon, Haruna, Siyoon and Suhyeon. At debut, the group comprised of 6 members, with Sheon joining a week after debut after her participation on the show ‘Girls Planet 999’.

To someone unfamiliar with the group, Billlie does stand out as a unique and unusual group name. The meaning of the name can be broken down into three parts. ‘Bi’ (비)’ is the Korean word for rain. The middle of the word represents the number ’11’ (a core part of their lore) and the final part of the name is the word ‘lie’. This mysterious combination of words and numbers all come together to form the backbone of the group’s core storyline.

Within their story lies a myth – when the bell rings for the 11th time on the 11th day as the purple rain falls, something strange will happen. It is foretold that to ensure this stays a secret, all of the girls will lie about what happened.

While many groups tell stories within their music videos, or have an interconnecting lore, Billlie really elevate this concept to new heights. Every single Billlie music video is part of their story and showcases a new peak into their universe. Within this universe are multiple different timelines, however these all revolve around one central plot point.

In every universe, in every timeline, there existed a girl named Billlie Love. All we as an audience are told is that she knew the girls, but on that fateful 11th day when the bells rang 11 times and the purple rain fell, Billlie Love disappeared. Perhaps even more curious is the fact that over time, the girls begin to lose any memories they ever had of her, along with any knowledge of what happened on that day.

This mystery remains unsolved, with various music videos providing different perspectives of the event, of character motivations or mystical forces that may have played a role in her disappearance. However, there is no definitive canonical answer as to why she disappeared.

To add to this magical and mysterious concept, the story also exists within two planes of reality. On one hand we have the real world (the ‘A side’) where the girls truly exist. On the other hand, there is the imaginary world of their unconscious (the ‘B side’), where their imagination and motivations become real. This is home to strange creatures referred to as ‘Lovers’, some similar to real world animals and others more obscure and abstract. Between the two realms is a blur, a place where elements of their subconscious can creep into reality, mixing the fiction and non-fiction.

The Billage of Perception: Chapter One:

The first EP, ‘The Billage of Perception: Chapter One’, was released on 10th November, 2021. In the lead up to the release, a special album prologue video was released, which kickstarted the story.

This story is narrated from the perspective of a young girl and her brother, who come across the house of Billlie Love after her disappearance. The girl proceeds to tell her brother about the mystery of the missing girl.

In part 1, set in the ‘A side’ of our reality, the girls are all living seemingly normal lives. However, one by one, they all receive a mysterious message on their phones. This message shows up in a bright purple colour and comes from a stranger described as having a ‘safe but most dangerous appearance’. Fearful, the girls decide to stick together to ensure that they are all safe.

The story kickstarts with a prologue stating that on the eleventh day when summer reached it’s end, there is a story of a fearsome intruder. This intruder will take one of the girls to the other side of the world when the bell rings 11 times.

At this point in the story, it is clear that the girls are still aware of Billie Love, as Tsuki writes a message to her to run and hide away from the oncoming danger. But Billlie Love is not with the girls – separated from them, she is in danger from the mysterious figure. Disaster strikes when the bell ringing starts. After the 11th toll, the first part of the story comes to an end. Billlie Love has disappeared.

After finding out about her disappearance, the girls set out to try and find her, with no avail. They come across her old house and find it in disarray – rooms were torn apart, with papers scattered everywhere and her belongings destroyed. As the girls leave the house, purple rain falls from the sky. As it hits the girls, they are overwhelmed with negative emotions of guilt, sadness, frustration and depression.

Part 2 adds new elements to the plot that are intentionally designed to get the audience thinking. Up until this point, we knew that Billlie Love went missing and were under the impression that this was due to a mysterious stranger. However, as talk of this event spreads around their village, rumours are started. The girls overhear their parents discussing Billlie Love.

What follows is an interrogation of sorts for the members, with each telling a slightly different story. Suhyeon and Haruna overhear their parents discussing the mystery and deny going to Billlie Love’s house. Siyoon and Haram discuss what happened, but Haram states that wherever she is, she cannot be reached.

Sua receives a mysterious call, but denies knowing what happened, using an alibi that she could not have been involved due to her work schedule. Tsuki does not engage with the rumours at all. All of the members tell conflicting stories to separate themselves from the situation or to claim that they were not there, indicating a greater knowledge of what actually happened on that fateful day.

With this in mind, the girls have regrets – they have to live with the knowledge of what happened, knowing that they are lying the world. Over time, their memories of her fade and their life returns to normal. But one day, a signal is sent to the members, forcing them to remember. As pieces of the puzzle begin to slot together, the girls decide to start the hunt for Billlie Love again. But any knowledge of this journey must remain secret.

‘RING X RING’, their debut song, is loud and instantly captures the listener’s attention. The song features repeated alarms within it’s instrumental and loud vocals – this links in with the story concept as the members are alarmed by this mysterious signal. Through this awakening, they begin to remember Billlie Love and explore her house to try and recall what happened to her.

Another way in which Billlie are unique is that every song plays a part in their story, not just those selected as title tracks. Our first example of this is with the B-side track, ‘everybody’s got a $ecret’. The lyrics discuss the girls having to live with the weight of this secret knowledge, knowing that if this were to spread, there could be serious consequences.

Similarly, ‘the rumor’ explores the perspective of the gossiping villagers, who are trying to work out the mystery and enquiring about the girls’ involvement. They make sweeping judgements that the girls did not care about their friend, or had malicious intentions without any substantiation for their claims.

In the song ‘flipp!ng a coin’, the girls are faced with a choice of whether to try and save Billlie Love or not. This dangerous existence, living on the edge and preparing to dive forward into the unknown, is the focus of the song.

Lastly, ‘the eleventh day’ explores one version of the girls’ perspective of what happened on the fateful day. However, it is to be noted that the girls lost a lot of their memories and therefore are unreliable narrators of this tragic tale.

The Collective Soul and Unconscious: Chapter One:

Within their next era, a slightly different version of events was described in an alternate universe – another lens through which we could explore the story.

Months after the disappearance, the events of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month have been immortalised in playground and workplace rumours. But, as time passed, the girls’ memories of that day began to fade further into obscurity. Not only did they forget, but they began to become estranged from one another, merely going through the motions of their daily lives.

Quite often in K-Pop, member line ups change over time, with new members joining, while other members go on hiatus or even leave the group entirely. With the case of Sheon’s addition to the group so soon after debut, Mystic Story needed a way to incorporate her smoothly into the story.

Returning to our story scenario, Haram is in a classroom studying, and the other students are acting out a fictional version of the events of the day. Haram is unsettled by this, while we hear Sheon repeating the words ‘You’re dead’ over and over again. Siyoon overhears family members discussing the disappearance. Out of curiosity, she moves closer to try and listen, but Sheon’s voice appears in her head, asking her if she remembers what happened. Suhyeon also overhears conversation about this topic within her local diner.

Moon Sua is riding a motorcycle and approaches a mysterious diner named ‘B111B’, while wearing a helmet with the number ’11’ on it. Sheon’s voice materialises again, asking Sua if she forgot. Haruna, Tsuki and Sheon are together in an unusual shop. Sheon speaks up, telling the members a new version of the story from the perspective of Billlie Love herself. This poses a question – is this version of events what truly happened?

Returning to Haram’s perspective, we see that she is struggling to concentrate on her studying, her mind conflicted with strange memories. She cannot focus, forgetting her sense of self and beginning to feel lost.

But suddenly at this moment, Billlie Love’s mirror begins to crack, and Haram remembers her once more. The timelines are leaking into one another and reminding the girls of their long lost friend. One by one, each member receives a new message, asking them to move from their ‘A’ side to their unconscious ‘B’ side.

In Billlie’s music video for ‘Snowy Night’ we get our first glimpse into the ‘B’ side, wherein the members explore the world of the Christmas Luna. Fitting for this dreamworld concept, the song is melodic and uses complex jazz chords and soothing melodies to create a unique atmosphere.

In Billlie Love’s attic, the girls fall asleep next to a snow globe containing the face of the man in the moon. In their collective dream, they take a magical space ship to this unknown planet. Upon arriving, they find strange boxes containing unusual magical gifts, and strange cosmic vistas. However, while the members are exploring this new location, Haram and Tsuki are kidnapped by an abominable snowman type figure referred to only as the ‘SNOWY MAN’. He puts them to work for him on his strange machines and keeps them captive.

Tsuki and Haram both now have bunny ears on top of their heads, presumably a side effect of this magical dream world. Once the other members realise what is happening, they find a magical key which allows them to free the other members and escape into the real world. However, when Tsuki awakes and looks in the mirror (a portal to these other realities) she can still see her bunny ears in her reflection. This symbolises the fact that these other realities are real and powerful, and may help the girls in their hunt for Billlie Love.

The subconscious, ‘B-side’ elements are further explored throughout the ‘what is your B?’ album teasers. One by one, the members all receive their ‘B-cards’ that invite them into the world of the unconscious. Sheon puts a coin into a fortune machine and receives a card from it that shows the dreamvader, one of the Billllie ‘Lovers’. Merely seeing the card is enough to bring back her memories with the girls in the attic. Suhyeon’s card appears in a phone game. Moon Sua receives hers in a vending machine. Tsuki’s appears in a shop. Haram finds hers in a book. Haruna’s appears in a photo booth, and Siyoon’s appears within a VCR.

With all the members receiving their cards, they begin reflecting on their subconscious thoughts. Sheon feels that her invitation has finally arrived to join the girls. Moon Sua feels conflicted about whether people will notice or remember her. Haruna on the other hand is excited to explore the world that she has dreamt of for so long. When Siyoon receives her card she hears Sheon telling her that it is time for them to become the lost children, before Siyoon reveals that she remembers more of what happened.

This timeline’s events regarding Billlie Love’s disappearance played out slightly differently. The girls were at Billlie Love’s house, where they all placed their ‘B-side’ cards together within a memory box. However, this action summoned the shadow monster. Fleeing, the girls locked the door to Billlie’s attic, unknowingly trapping her and leaving her to her fate. Therefore, in comparison to the first timeline, the girls are more directly involved – it is their action of choosing to lock the door that led to the events. Despite this, as is typical across the Billlie multiverse, the girls struggle to remember all of these events clearly.

At this moment, the purple rain returns, and as all of the girls witness it, they begin to recall even more memories. They are determined to use their cards to enter the ‘B-side’ world and rescue Billlie Love.

Upon entering the dream world, the girls explore a strange hotel. In the ‘GingaMingaYo (the strange world)’ MV, the girls encounter multiple imaginary creatures and strange scenarios. References to Billlie Love abound, including the bell, the number 11 appearing on the doors of the hotel and her name appearing backwards on a typewriter.

Furthermore, it is clear that the conscious and subconscious realms are blending. Objects from the real world manifest in the dream world as the worlds collide. Eventually, the girls are caught by the Dreamvader, who symbolises the bad choices that the girls have had to make.

Musically, ‘GingaMingaYo’ was a big hit for the group. As the song title suggests, the lyrics and themes are very ‘out there’ and unusual. The dance is energetic, with the members portraying dramatic facial expressions within the stages. One particular fancam of Tsuki went viral during this era for her high quality acting that really enhanced the song’s vibe.

The Billage of Perception: Chapter Two:

With a new era came the chance to return to the original ‘Billage of Perception’ timeline. A few years have passed in this world, during which things seem to have returned back to normal.

However, one day the girls receive a mysterious message, which tells them that in the eleventh summer their world will close after the bell rings eleven times. Siyoon gathers the girls again, realising that they must all work together to find Billlie Love and save their world. To do this, they decide to revisit iconic places from their childhood to try and jog their memories.

Upon unlocking their old school gates, they explore the grounds, including the trees that they used to play under. They remember many childhood events, for example covering Billlie with flowers. Billlie Love is shown as a great friend to the girls, spending time with them when they are lonely, reaching out and supporting them when they are hurt. However, the girls realise that they often excluded her from their games, not considering her feelings and needs.

Billlie Love appears as a young girl wearing a black cat mask. This is reminiscent of one of the Billlie ‘Lovers’, a cat named novemBer. novemBer appears as a black cat with heterochromia (differently coloured eyes), and symbolises a caring guardian figure and the spiritual connection between the girls. As Siyoon is about to remove the mask and remember her old friend, the bells begin to chime.

As the girls gather, they notice Billlie Love’s mask on the ground. As they touch the mask, the school crumbles to pieces as the world begins to collapse. The prophecy has come true. The girls are forced to face the realisation that they cannot keep dwelling on their past mistakes but need to start moving forward if they want to rescue their old friend. They must escape into the ‘B-side’ and find out more.

In the ‘RING ma Bell (what a wonderful world)’ music video, the girls enter into their unconscious once more. Throughout the video they are chased by a ‘Lover’ only referred to as ‘The Thing’. This is the only imaginary creature who is seen to be inherently evil throughout all of their lore. As each member is chased, they use switches, buttons and bells to try and repel the creature.

The song’s rock influences play heavily into the lore here. At one point in the video, Tsuki finds a guitar pick with the word ‘Bravery’ written on it. When she picks it up and plays the guitar, the monster is destroyed.

Rock music has always been seen to have a certain edge to it, with many rock bands being loud and outspoken. In this way the girls face their fears directly and embrace their newfound confidence. Instead of dwelling on their past they stride into the future, prepared to face their unconscious challenges.

The rest of the EP describes their continued journey into their subconscious. ‘my B = the Birth of emotion’ explores the feelings that the girls have towards Billlie. They pass through many mixed emotions, unsure of how they should truly be feeling. However, they acknowledge that they need to face up to and process this feelings in order to continue on.

‘$un palace (Stroop effect)’ focuses on the journey through the lens of time passing. The girls do not know the path that their journey will take, nor the correct way to reach Billlie Love, but they know that they must keep moving forward.

After their journey through the unconscious, the members return to the ‘A side’, however each member is now wearing a ‘novemBer’ mask which symbolises their spiritual connection. As they remove these masks and finally escape from their pasts, they state their new ‘B names’. These act almost as alter egos or representations of their unconscious self.

Sheon’s name is ‘Bubble’, who wants to be taken seriously and shows an optimistic approach to shake off her troubles and keep going. Haram is ‘Bisou’ (Gem) who shines in her own way.

Moon Sua is ‘Bishop’, who, like the chess piece can move in many unexpected ways and forging her own path. Suhyeon is ‘Bird Cage’, representing the fact that she can’t be taken down and that she will not hesitate to shut you out.

Haruna is ‘Balloon’, showing that she will grow her own dreams and won’t be swayed by others as she floats on her own path. Tsuki is ‘blossom’, representing beauty – however she does not exist just to be admired, as she is confident in herself too.

Siyoon is ‘Beast’, fearsome and unbreakable without caring about others. Unlike the other members however, Siyoon cannot remove her mask, symbolising the fact that she cannot fully move on.

The Billage of Perception: Chapter Three:

Chapter Three continues the storyline in a non-linear fashion, predominately focusing on the night of Billlie Love’s disappearance and the events that occur during and immediately after she goes missing. We first see police arriving at her house, finding it in disarray (much as we saw in the RING X RING music video) – phone disconnected, papers on the ground and objects broken.

As the girls try to recall their friend, they think about what she left behind. Suhyeon remembers that she left behind a ring, some books and a clarinet. The non-linear element of the story occurs when Suhyeon states that her memories are warped and unclear. The girls are reliving pieces of their memories and trying to make sense of them.

Sheon plays a critical role in this storyline. During the events of ‘GingaMingaYo’ she was the voice in the group members’ heads, speaking to them and drawing out their inner thoughts. She also told the story from Billlie Love’s perspective. However, this interaction has another layer to it.

Throughout Chapter 3, Sheon is portrayed with her back to the girls, almost as if she does not exist to them. This perhaps symbolises a deeper connection to Billlie Love, one that Sheon uniquely can empathise with (while also serving as a creative way to retroactively include Sheon in the debut era story). The ‘EUNOIA’ music video returns the girls to the classroom setting, where Sheon is treated like a new student.

As Sheon is introduced to the class, a feather lands on her shoulder, which Haruna notices. This is a feather from the ‘Lover’ named ‘glau’ – a wise owl who gifts the girls with the ability to remember and guides them on their journey. Suhyeon and Haram invite Sheon to join their group and they head out together. Tsuki and Haruna, separated from the group, enter a mysterious building. But when they open the door, they are back inside Billlie Love’s house, where they encounter their own counterparts.

This moment is deeply symbolic. As the girls encounter their duplicates, they are quite literally facing up to their past. Much like the analogy of a coin or two sides of paper, they have to face the good and the bad, their negative and positive aspects and reconcile them. It is only through this process that they can begin to process their feelings, forgive themselves and move forward as their complete selves.

‘enchanted night ~ white night’ explores a different perspective of the core story. The group have a beautiful time on a magical night. The stars are shining, the wind is blowing, the moon is large in the sky. However, whilst they are relaxing and taking in the scene, their friend has disappeared.

The lyrics of the song reference back to the items that Billlie Love left behind, namely the clarinet. As the girls are sat on the roof, they think about a distant friend – who they can recall but only through a veil. They hear the sound of a pipe – but what if it is not a pipe? This lyric could indicate the confused memories the girls have of the night – mistaking the screams of their friend as her beloved instrument.

The rest of the EP focuses on the themes introduced in ‘EUNOIA’, of forgiveness, completeness and maturity. In the tracks ‘nevertheless’ and ‘lionheart’, they talk about acknowledging their hidden ‘B-sides’ and seeking to learn more about them. We have already seen that they faced their hidden sides and that these manifested in their ‘B’ selves that exemplified certain hidden traits. Finally, the girls recognise these traits and begin to form into their complete selves.

side-B: memoirs of echo unseen:

The girls’ next era is tangential to the story. Members Moon Sua and Suhyeon were on hiatus from the group during this era, and so a single album was released with the other 5 members.

The music video for ‘DANG! (hocus pocus)’ addresses their central story through a new perspective. The magical song title is fitting for this high tempo and whimsical track, with catchy repeated refrains accompanied by introspective lyrics.

In the music video, the girls explore different perspectives of the world through puzzles. This concept can be seen through two lenses. In relation to the Billlie Love story, the girls are dressed like detectives, so these puzzles could symbolise clues allowing them to make progress within their search.

Conversely, the story could be building upon the themes of Chapter 3, wherein they come to terms with themselves as they solve their inner conflicts. The MV even shows them watching themselves in the mirror, embracing self-acceptance because of, and not in spite of, their differences.

The new Billlie lover in this music video is ‘LIZA’ the lizard. This character was introduced as an intermediary between the realms, and symbolises change and new beginnings. In this way, LIZA guides them to realising their true selves and learning to love every aspect of their identity.

‘BYOB (bring your own best friend)’ is a dreamy song accompanied by a music video with a self-filmed concept. In the video, the girls hang out together. We see them dancing in the street, filming TikToks, shopping and eating food. They are fully embracing their friendships. The girls have fully processed their inner selves and learned the meaning of true friendship and the joy that it brings.

Following this, Billlie released two digital singles. The first of these was ‘the soul savior ~ I don’t need a superman’, which was accompanied by a trippy and beautifully animated lyric video. The chorus refrain is the focus of this song, as the girls proudly proclaim that they don’t need a superman, they can face their fears and worries alone as they keep fighting and pushing forward. The experimental instrumental harkens back to their debut era, and symbolises the girls always taking a unique path on their journey.

Similarly, ‘January 0th: a hope song’ tells an optimistic story. This ballad carries forward the girl’s wishes as they take each day together, manifesting good luck and promising to step into and embrace the light in the world. The girls are putting their best foot forward without fear.

‘DOMINO ～ butterfly effect’ was the group’s Japanese debut. With funky instrumentals, complex layering and disco influences, this is easily one of their strongest releases. Lore wise, we need look no further than the song title.

Domino theory explores the effect of a chain reaction triggered by one event and continuing onwards. Likewise, the butterfly effect explores how one small event can have a rippling effect that has a strong influence over future events. In the music video the girls appear to be stuck in a time loop.

In previous videos we have also seen this theme, as we saw them revisit past memories in their unconscious and even face against themselves. Upon breaking the domino at the end of the music video, the girls are free to fly forward and continue on their journey.

Appendix: Of All We Have Lost:

The most recent era for the group was ‘Appendix: Of All We Have Lost’. Taking place in another new timeline, we explore a new aspect of the story.

The pre-release single, ‘trampoline’ tells a simple premise. The jazzy vocals create a light-hearted and refreshing experience that entices the listener to reflect on their childhood memories. The girls in the music video jump on a trampoline and describe the freedom and joy that it brings them. For many people, childhood brings with it memories shown through rose-tinted glasses, as we remember the joy and simplicity of life before adult pressures piled up.

This concept is built upon within the ‘Remembrance Candy’ music video, where each of the members is shown going on a search; a journey towards something that remains unknown to us. For some, it is a difficult journey on foot, for others it is a car journey. The girls look lost, forlorn and sad as they travel forward.

Through clues left in the video, we can see that the girls’ ‘B’s are looking for them. The reason for this becomes apparent quite quickly. The girls are destroying their memories. Siyoon tears up old drawings. Sua and Tsuki pack away their things. Haram removes her charm. They are hiding away from their childhood and burying the past.

However, the girls stop once they come across an image of a bird cage. As discussed earlier, Suhyeon’s ‘B’ is ‘Bird Cage’. This symbolises a form of restriction, as the girls are increasingly trapped as they discard their precious memories. Upon seeing this image, they realise they need to let go of the weight of adult life. This is fittingly symbolised by luggage left on the side of the road – they are leaving their stresses behind to allow themselves to continue on.

The girls then look skyward, seeing clouds in the shapes of birds, and a bright sky. Their worries disappear and they are now free. With this weight off their shoulders, they take the remembrance candy, and willingly explore their childhood memories through a more positive light. They return to the attic and their memories come flooding back. However, Suhyeon was already inside, perhaps symbolising that she has held onto her childhood memories.

This message is an important one. In growing older, our childhood memories fade overtime. Adult life demands so much from us, and in between the noise and the stress it’s easy to become worn down. We are constantly critiqued for being immature or childish and encouraged to discard these ‘unwanted’ aspects of ourselves in order to conform.

But in doing so we remove our joy and leave only negative baggage. By willingly dealing with our stresses, we open ourselves up to our memories – experiencing the joys and learning from past mistakes allows us to live a more complete life and have a better understanding of ourselves.

In this way, Billlie embrace their maturity (as we saw in the ‘RING ma Bell’ MV) but learn to incorporate their past memories in a healthy way at last. They are no longer lying to the world, ignoring their worries, or hiding their feelings in their unconscious. They have brought their inner self to the forefront and given themselves a chance to learn and grow.

Conclusion: On Lore, Love and Leaping Forward:

I hope that you have enjoyed learning more about the world of Billlie and their fascinating, unusual and complex lore. I also hope that for those of you unfamiliar with their music, that this has been an opportunity for you to explore a new artist through a very intriguing lens.

For me, Billie’s lore is the centre of their sound. Their lighter songs evoke positive memories and self-growth. Their louder songs make us alert to our fears and remind us to stay strong. Their more experimental releases reflect the subconscious and conflicting thoughts. Dreamy tracks guide the listener through a maze of memories. In this way, Billlie’s songs are the sum total of the human experience – intricate, unique and ever-changing.

As for the mystery of Billlie Love, alongside being a fascinating central premise for a supernatural and multi-versal plotline it serves another function. Billlie Love is a representation of the girls and of the audience. She reminds us that there are multiple viewpoints to every situation. She reminds us to hold our friends close, and to never underestimate the impact of others.

Interestingly, the girls have never fully remembered Billlie Love, nor located her. In this way, the journey and the hardships that they face that is more important. It is the growth that the girls go through due to this event that propels the story forward.

As human beings, we are always growing and learning, our minds the sum total of our happiness and regrets. But it is through combining all aspects of our lived experience that we can continue to put our best foot forward, learning more about ourselves each day and putting some good into the world. I hope that Billlie continue to inspire you in the way that that inspire me.

Thank you so much for reading this in depth analysis and exploration of Billlie through the lens of their lore! I truly hope you have enjoyed it, learned something new and maybe picked up some new songs for your playlist along the way!
