hi!! just wanted to say this has literally been the no.1 reason for my wooyoungitis in the past few months and highkey my comfort video, just wanna thank you for making this and making it so informative and so comforting and easy to listen to! (i am also im not saying that im love with wooyoungs part in djangos prechorus because of the cheeky vibe he brings, but i am.)

I don't agree with Yoohyeon being the Queen, it's always been just Jiu (it represents her leader role in Dreamcatcher too), with Yoohyeon then betraying and killing Jiu in order to steal her throne (when you make it that Yoohyeon is queen, the meaning of the MV just becomes convoluted and messy). Also, Yoohyeon at the beginning is just imagining herself sitting on the throne and wearing regalia. You said it yourself that the first scene of the Jiu vs Yoohyeon showdown was a corrupted memory, the same goes for Yoohyeon imagining herself as queen (e.g., sitting on the throne). The scene of Yoohyeon pretending to be the queen also uses the exact same blue lightning as the first Jiu vs Yoohyeon showdown, which further supports my point that both of these events share the similarity that they are fake and the memory has been twisted in Yoohyeon's mind. Also, I feel like she killed all members too, not just Jiu. You mention the choreography, but you didn't mention how near the end, during the last chorus, all the members move their arms in a motion that represents being stabbed. With Dami holding Siyeon's arm to further emphasize the fact that the stabbing was not self-inflicted, but done by another person (Yoohyeon stabbing and killing all the members). Also in the MV, again near the end, during the last chorus, it's not just Jiu that is falling into the darkness (representing death). It's also Sua and Siyeon falling. So either Yoohyeon only killed those 3, or she killed everyone. The reason why Yoohyeon maybe only killed those 3 is because they are the eldest members and perhaps held more important roles, since Jiu is Queen because she is the eldest and leader of Dreamcatcher, then Sua and Siyeon might've been high-ranking nobles/advisors/commanders that Yoohyeon had to kill to complete her usurpation. With the younger members perhaps holding lower-ranking titles and were able to just be banished or imprisoned instead of killed. But I am still leaning to the notion that Yoohyeon just killed them all, especially because she isn't thinking logically, she is corrupted by the black smoke representing evil and ambition, so a senseless and unnecessary act of killing all the members makes more sense than a calculated, more reserved approach.

Their best song honestly and one of the greatest in kpop in general

You pointing out Wooyoung's bright voice in comparison to the others was such a heureka moment to me just now. Like, I sat here all alone in my kitchen went "Oh wow! Yes!"

I love you for making this video! I think it's the first video of you i watched and i really like not only the facts you bring to the table but also the way you narrate them. Great job! Omg the lisp part killed me 😂❤ Also! You included Sector 1 and drew comparisons to Lix, you are my new favourite person now!!!!!!! And I love love love the section where you point out possible routes for them to take with his voice, its so cool!

I love enhypen

Love dive make ADHD brain go ahhhhhh

Sneakers is a good song for me 👍🏻

I am surprised to hear the nasal quality so strongly in your video. I wasn't aware. I have to see a singer to connect the voice. It takes me a long time to individualize voices(autistic). I remember in Killing Voice enjoying his parts a lot. He does have a really nice tone, (just like Lee Know of Stray Kids), that is under appreciated, IMHO.

Yesss!!! We need an Ateez cypher!!! 19:15

Also side note, I absolutely LOVE your analysis because I get to learn about Ateez (and music, in general) in a new way! ❤

2:54 I don't know about rap either but I couldn't agree with you more. Mingi's rap in Emergency ended me!

Narcissistic my god I love it!

i'm confused and entertained. love it.

as someone who was obsessed with anime at the time dreamcatcher released chase me, i was immediately hooked because it sounded like an opening to a shonen show and i used to tell my friends the same thing as well. also i think there is absolutely no coincidence that ppl who like dreamcatcher also like ateez. they're both my ults and i just saw ateez live a few weeks ago and bought tickets for dreamcatcher in november lol

Kenzie one of the best producers out there Also, the name BLACKPINK basically serves the same was as Red Velvet does (announcing the duality of concepts)

Love your videos! Waiting for Yunho! Thanks for Yeosang and Wooyoung

Girlypop are you alive?

I got into them with this album. We Know and Silver Light are on the same tier as good listen. Both because Wooyoung and Yeosang sing so much more, especially throughout the whole album. I love Wooyoung’s pre-chorus and his “I know” sounds soooo good. I live for Yeosang’s part in the bridge. The backing of it reminds me of O Fortuna, but not the opening of it, the part at the forte/fortissimo. The outro with Mingi’s and Hongjoong cemented this song as one of my faves. It’s so intense. As for Silver Light, I love that Wooyoung starts the first verse and is followed by Yeosang. Someone said in another comment section that they loved the part where Wooyoung scoops his voice upward and I absolutely love it as well. It happens about 43 seconds into the song. I heard and saw Crazy Form on a TikTok then looked up the album and saw it was released a few days prior. Took me two tries to like Arriba. First time I quit before Mingi’s part, the second time I was driving home and was passing a hidden cop so I was focused on that and Arriba was on and then Mingi’s part came on and I was like wow 🤩 I love how he’s doing this. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s staccato, bright(?), airy in a way because the flute in the background, and then we get Mingi’s regular sound for the last bar. It’s so catchy. I like how it flows right into Hongjoong’s verse. I need Jongho’s bridge imprinted on my brain. Especially the part where the background voices harmonize with his (I’m a sucker for a good harmony). Matz is also not my favorite. I thought Seonghwa’s voice was too forced in its deepness. I do however like his “pay” parts. The plosives are perfectly put 😉. IT’s You is my favorite track from the album BECAUSE it’s so sensual. I will keep saying that they need more songs like it because Desire is another sensual ditty that I absolutely adore, but I digress. I was so happy that Yeosang had an entire verse and he killed it. I like how in the first few phrases there is a beat where he pauses before moving to the next. Then he’s singing on the down and up beat with the “show show flow flow” part. To the lovely part where it’s the flow-y “airplane” section. It’s all just so well suited for him. San’s pre-chorus is one of my favorite parts from the mv and all he’s doing is walking backwards doing hand motions in a line with the other dancers (I’m also a sucker for ripples I guess😅). Wooyoung devoured the chorus and his high note. I didn’t realize it was him for a good long while. I thought it was San. I vibe with Youth as well since it feels really r&b. Their slow songs/ballads (except for Mist, it hits me in the feels) don’t really do much for me in all honesty. No hate or anything because the vocals eat every time in them. I like the album as a whole, but Ep. 1: Movement is my favorite of The World series.

It took me a while to like Bouncy as well because their b-sides are just that good. Dune is my favorite from Outlaw partly due to Yeosang’s/Yunho’s prechorus(?). And the rest due to Wooyoung’s/Yunho’s bridge. It’s an almost seamless transition between their voices, except for that beat between the voices.

Gosh, I love this analysis. I especially liked the “moving forward” portion because of what you said about him singing and dancing at the same time. I likened it to Michael Jackson in concert. He wouldn’t always hit his notes because he was so focused on dancing and trying to catch his breath while still singing. If it was difficult for MJ, The King of Pop, then it would definitely be difficult for someone only 5-6 or so years out from debut. Wooyoung is so very talented and I’m fairly new to Ateez and K-pop (end of Nov. 2023), but I’ve noticed so much improvement from him looking at their older videos and listening to older songs in their discography. Inception and Halazia are two of my favorite songs because of his parts. Then The World: Will came out and I fell in love with his parts in We Know, Silver Light, and Arriba. I’ve also been loving his parts in Dune. The ending “oooohhhhh” that he does is next level! To the point I thought it was Jongho, but I listened to the stem of the song and about perished when I heard Wooyoung. Anyway, I really look forward to hearing your analyses on the other members, keep up the good work.

you are so good at making these videos! I am really really really looking forward to the next members

First, thank you for the post. I am always curious about how the fans perceived PK and if the events are mutually enjoyable. I am absolutely all-in Plory so it was good to see/hear a casual listener perspective. I was particularly interested in your comment about the English translations of their songs. Of course they are trying to be considerate of their fans but like you said most of the fans, me included, were weaned on the Korean versions of the songs. Their songs have always had some mixing of English but for the North American audience they have done further translation and you hit the nail on the head that notwithstanding the intent the live audience can not sing along because now, ironically, the lyrics are in English. Personally I think that the original version, the one that everyone is accustomed to is what they should stick with and then when they are engaging the audience they can try to speak English. I would encourage you to spend a little time browsing Purple Kiss content and music because I am sure that the more that you engage the more that you will love them. Just a couple of MV suggestions, that are not part of the main suggestions, check out the cover of Vegas by Doja Cat and the new album has a REALLLY good dance track called Bittersweet.. Thanks again for the post. Ta.

Halazia is what triggered me to search Yeosang voice analysis. And I'm not someone easily moved by voices. His voice in Halazia is outofworldly.

Why am I unable to unhear the lisp now. You are genius. Why this voice analysis is so interesting?

and i still can't picture why kq can't give wooyoung more lines🤌

The most important thing I wanted to say was Yunho's opening part in the collab with PTX Need a Little Space makes my brain purr and I'm hoping you have a good way to describe why lol Yunho's vocals are my favorite after Yeosang's chest vibrating low notes. Also, Wooyoung's part in Mist is soooo hhnnnnggg KQ give him more parts like that please! Also, also, I appreciate when you acknowledge their faults and where vocals have been touched up. So often kpop fans just want to praise their favs but for me it takes away from the praise when you don't acknowledge where there is room for improvement. Gentle productive criticism, especially when paired with praise, does not equal hate. I struggled to get into Ateez for a while because people praised their vocals but when I went looking for it, all I found was Jongho's high notes, touched up "live" vocals that people didn't realize were touched up or untouched live singing where the backing was so loud you couldn't hear them anyway. So I didn't really buy that they were that talented vocally. (Which is a big thing for me, my ults are a.c.e and onf. I see that clip of Chan in your intro! If you don't know onf go at least listen to Beautiful Beautiful. It's worth it, I promise.) Then I watched the killing voice video, which is for sure touched up, but also still so good! (Also Yeosang is adorable in it and he became by bias and I became Atiny by the end of that 26 minutes.) Anyway, your videos are fascinating and articulate some aspects of their vocals I appreciate but didn't know how to explain. I have choral and music theater experience but no real music theory training. Sorry for the essay, looking forward to your next Ateez video!

Every time I look up who is singing my favorite parts in Ateez songs it’s almost always Wooyoung and that’s how he ended up my bias lol. He’s incredibly under used vocally and I so appreciate this analysis

The fact that the only jyp group that is still succesful is self produced says to much about jyp

Hey can you make why Aespa’s supernova viral for your next video?? Please:))

“It’s not my fault they’ve been cranking out bangers since debut” Literally me with my favorite kpop group. I feel like on a deep, personal level.

also, when i checked wonderland's background vocals, the comments mentioned that it was woo who did the back high note for jongho's THAT high note. i don't know how much accurate it is but if it is the case, i want more woo's high notes

All these outtakes are taking me out 😭😭 pls continue more of these in the future!

12:38 unfoetunately not

Make sure to check out their new comeback in July!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for this video it was SATISFYING and omg cant wait for yunho video.......

Yeosang is my ultimate bias for Ateez, partly because of his voice. Thank you for saying that his has a special voice that should be used much more. I was hoping after Halazia that it would happen but I am still waiting/hoping.

thank you so much for this! will you do one for seonghwa too?

I wish Yeosang would watch this

Just found your channel, you‘re one of the reasons why I’m proud to be Atiny. Thank you so so much for doing this.

This very video perfectly explains why this very song draw me in to Ateez.
