You're not alone,bruh🥳 Pls listen another 5 tracks from ateez the world ep.2 : outlaw. They're all bangers🔥so I've been waiting for this because you really fall in love with them n I love ur reaction😍
Aye, I was so excited for you to post smt about ATEEZ again >.< ! :D You're great, keep goin'😊 Again (sorry xD) I am suggesting PIRATE KING; HALA HALA, Treasure AND Illusion! (I am so sorry if I bother you xD but you won't be disappointed though^-^)
also the one you loved and said is your bias/favorite member is san!! choi san. hes AMAZING and a truly great choice as a favorite its also his bday :) hes a great performer, dancer, singer literally everything lol. you should watch the ultimate guide to ateez 2023 and find out more of them all! they truly are an amazing group of people.
I love when you watch a group and can totally get intrigued and thrilled by the music and performance // ATEEZ just knows how to do that and really pours it all into the interpretation. Sending healing vibes for the loss of your friend and hoping the best for your sister. Thanks!! I hope you check out the Kingdom performance called The Awakening of Summer by ATEEZ and The Black Cat Nero -- both are so good.
My comment got too long 😭 San is the one you really like. He brings everyone in lol ‘Wave’ is the name of the song with the Hakuna Matata. Eternal Sunshine - it’s such a fun song. It makes a great summer bop. The Real - another great summer bop. The Real is fun AND the video is funny. They’re each the leaders of different groups in song who are all fighting over the new kid, Mingi (low voiced rapper). Yeosang (white suit) is like the dove of peace bringing them all together as a unit. The Real is one of the first songs that Mingi publicly participated in when he returned from hiatus. It’s kind of why they made him the “new kid”. (Rest of the song in the reply)
Guerrilla - it’s absolutely one of their lore/story songs. They are in the dystopian world of Halateez who’s government has outlawed all forms of art and emotion. They are starting a fight against that government to bring Art back to the people. Halazia - It’s a sequel to Guerrilla. They are still in the dystopian world, but now the government knows they are there. They are saying “no more keep control” to the citizens that they should take no more of the government oppressing them and keep their own control of what they allow. Halazia hits hard because it can be interpreted in many different ways. Edit: also, Halazia is kind of a word they just made up. Since “HALA” which means “Hearts Awakened Live Alive”, is kind of their beginning journey into this new world, they thought a continuation would be fitting.
One last thing - I’m very sorry for your loss. I’ve unfortunately been in your situation too many times to count. It’s hard to come to terms with and learn how to deal with/handle the emotions. Remember that it’s ok to reach out to someone and express your feelings. I also hope your sister is ok. I wish you peace in your heart and blessings in your troubled times. ❤
the fact that eternal sunshine is so happy and digresses from their usual intense music is so funny to me knowing that eternal sunshine is the way it is because the members were high on the hallucinogenic fog, trying to chase the utopia they would never ultimately attain lmao
Condolences on your loss of your friend and I hope your big sister is doing well. We all cope in different ways and I'm glad you took a little time away to try and work out your feelings/thoughts. Thank you for the reaction. And thank you for ruining the sound of the birds in that one scene of The Real for me. 🤣 I laughed so hard after you pointed it out and I actually listened to them squawking. Loved it. Ateez has a great discography and they are great at covering songs too, if you ever want to check some of those out. Some are on a program called Immortal Songs, which you can find their clips on RUclips, and I believe someone already recommended their Kingdom performances. Hongjoong just recently did a Leemunjin Service interview where he covers Starman by David Bowie and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. And Ateez, as a group, did a cover of Leave the Door Open by Bruno Mars.
YESS more ateez i love it. i genuinely have never heard a bad ateez song. anything you hear from them im sure you will love! one i think youll really enjoy is dont stop!!
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to Ateez. You're definitely one of the most genuine reactors i've come acrossed and I really appreciate that. I'm sorry for everything you're going through. I'm wishing things get better for you. When you get a chance.. you should react to Ateez more sentimental side to see that side of them too... Such as Turbulence, One day at a Time, Not too late, and the Mist to name a few, but i'll watch any reaction you do. Thank you for everything you do!
As someone who only casually knows some of the ATEEZ lore, I've always taken the Prestige Academy to be a double entendre. Sure, story wise, it might signify the next generation waking up and bringing music back into their lives after it's been outlawed. Secondly, IRL, I took it as the announcement that ATEEZ's younger brother group "xikers" was coming, which they did thereafter.
I love that you point out the intro ~ it's one of my favorite things in the world, truly. Every time I hear/see it, I know whatever is coming next will be great... whether that's ATEEZ or anything else KQ puts out. I know some people get the same feeling when they see/hear the intro from other companies, so it's probably down to what group(s) stand(s) out most to each person. But yes, it's such simple pleasure to sit and enjoy the intro to their MVs. The "Eternal Sunshine" outro clip (the one with sound) is a teaser for the "Turbulence" MV (visually), but the music clip teases "The Real" (slowed down piano version of the chorus). I found it kind of neat that you watched them in that order, because of that. In "The Real", several members say phrases in their native Satoori (accent & dialect from where they live, basically). Korean stars typically are encouraged to adopt a "Seoul accent", so I love when things like this are thrown in (or when they're in a variety show and their native accents come out to play). It's similar to having people from different parts of the US talking in their native accents, and using local phrases -- like how a southerner might bring a "casserole" to a potluck, while some northerners might call that a "hot dish", or the whole soda/pop/cola/coke debate, etc. Different places just have different ways of saying things, even when you're speaking the same language from the same country. ☺ For "Guerrilla", the basic premise is that they're in Strictland, where a totalitarian government is run by Mr. Z -- human emotion is outlawed, so any expression of it (art, dance, music) is illegal. The kids are brainwashed (at Prestige Academy) to believe in the government, know that everything the government does is what they (citizens) want them to do, etc. Our guys are infiltrating systems to break them free, so people have a choice to either follow the government or walk away. The kid at the end is one who escaped the academy after the link was broken (there's a lot of lore info in the teasers/previews). You see our guys in PSTG uniforms themselves in the "Bouncy" MV. Lastly, "Halazia" -- this one is NOT part of the main storyline because it's not being told from the perspective of our guys (ATEEZ or HALATEEZ), and is instead from the perspective of those being affected by the actions of our guys (the title of the single is Spinoff : From the Witness). So basically we get the story as told by our guys (in The World EP 1 : Movement, with "Guerrilla" and such) but also how the witness(es) interpreted their experience of what happened (in Spinoff : From the Witness, with "Halazia") as they were broken free and given a choice. This is just my take on these two based on what I've seen explained both through comments on reactions and also the additional videos KQ made available to give more perspective... but I'm not worthy of being called a loreTINY, so I could be wrong, lol. Two things that support my feeling that these are connected that way, though, are: -- San's dance move where he reaches toward the camera (in "Guerrilla" during the breakdown solo dance, then in "Halazia" when he reaches over Seonghwa's shoulder) -- the phrasing of the lyrics in terms of how they're talking about the citizens' loss of emotions, who have they been in the dark for, taking back control of their lives at the end, etc. Again, possibly drawing connections more deeply than they were intended, but these guys never surprise me with how deeply connected their lore is across all songs... so... yeah. Oh, another cool thing about "Halazia" is that Mingi has said that his raps here and in "Cyberpunk" (from the same album as "Guerrilla") are connected (he's talking to himself in them). My interpretation of "Halazia" as a word is a combination of terms from the meaning of 'HALA' in the song "HALA HALA" + 'zia' meaning 'light'. So -- "Hearts Awakened Live Alive" in the "Light" -- making "Halazia" our 'light-bringer' by breaking the hearts free from the darkness and allowing them to live in a way that feels 'alive'. Others have mentioned the amount of lore present in the ATEEZ catalog, and I have to agree. While it's perfectly possible and acceptable to enjoy their music without having any idea what's going on in the actual storyline, it's also possible and acceptable to fall deep down a massive interdimensional rabbit hole trying to understand it all 🤭 Each album (not sure about the singles) gives a new piece of the story in the "Diary version", and those diaries get pieced together by loreTINY to share the story with those of us who haven't purchased all the albums... lol... There's a really great ATINY on Instagram who I've been following for a while, who has also been sharing some of the lore. It's a great community that works together to help everyone (who wants to) understand a bit more about the story our guys are telling. Honestly, all of the "teaser" bits before and after songs will be part of the lore/storyline. Sometimes it's fairly evident if you have half a grasp on things, but other times it needs some backstory to really understand what's going on... and even then, a lot of what we "know" is just theory based on what we've been told -- informed guessing, if you will. At least, that's how it was explained to me some time ago when I first started trying to wrap my own brain around it all. ATEEZ's music has the power to heal, it just does. I'm sure that's been said about many groups, depending on who a fan found that spoke to them through the music, but for me the group that has connected directly to my heart/soul is ATEEZ... and from my own experience with their catalog, I can definitely say that they have songs that can heal. I saw someone mention below that you may benefit from listening to "Turbulence", and I have to agree -- it's an absolutely beautiful song, with a beautiful message. Also, happy birthday to our lovely San, since it's already July 10th in Korea🎂
what i love about ATEEZ is that despite every song being so different you can also tell that it’s ATEEZ i don’t even know how to describe it. and it’s amazing that even their bsides are equally well thought out. every song is linked to a whole story. the lyrics are so touching even if you don’t understand it the first time. you know why they’re singing about because of the emotions they put into the song. they’re really gonna be even bigger and i hope they continue to break more records
ugh i’m so happy you’re continuing to love ateez 😭😭 i haven’t seen you do a guide for any group yet but if you ever do decide to react/watch one, i really recommend an ateez one because you’ll appreciate them and their music 1000000% more
I love listening to your reactions. And I’m so glad you really enjoy them. You might want to check out their pre-debut dance performance as KQ fellas. They were crazy good even before debuting. And if you haven’t listened to Twilight or Promise yet, I’ve only just discovered them myself recently. They’re both on the softer side and I love them. As I’m going back and discovering more of their music I’ve yet to hear a bad song. Utopia and Cyberpunk are another couple greats that even my husband enjoys ( He’s not a K-pop fan but I’ve forced him to listen in the car to my playlists). And besides that best wishes to you. Moving forward wishing you nothing but good days ahead. ❤
Thank you for ur reaction! Glad u found out about Ateez! i recommend their debut song "Pirate king", "Treasure", "Rocky (one of their Japanese tracks)", "Don't Stop", "Turbulence".
I really love all of their songs. But HALAZIA is a recent obsession for me. It's so amazing. You should watch one of the dance practices of it, I love the song so much.
Déjà vu was the song that brought me into Ateez, precisely the dance part of Seonghwa with his amazing blue collar outfit. So I totally understand the hype x) Halazia is just a masterpiece in my eyes and Guerrilla literally revolutionized the kpop genre. If you need more ideas of what to watch from Ateez, there is ; MVs : Hala hala, The black cat nero, Pirate king (their debut song), Treasure (first album too with Pirate King, also explains what they are talking about when they speak about beginning in the desert in Fireworks), Aurora, Turbulence, Illusion, Bouncy (which just came out). But also they are insane performers, so if you want to watch some of their music performance, you can hear other songs that doesn't have a mv (you can't be disappointed) : All the "immortal songs" stages, all "kingdom" stages (just beware of copyright, but you absolutely need to watch Wonderland symphony number 9), "MAMA" stages, Win, and Cyberpunk (beware of hotness lol). I don't have other ideas at the moment, but you are going to have great moments! Enjoy!
😂😂 Deja Vu is what really got me into Ateez so I feel you lol The real is my favorite Ateez music video, it’s just so fun to watch & gives me a serotonin boost when I’m feeling down.
21:52 You weren't the only one! 😂 I have a chronic pain condition that means I get overwhelmed when too much is happening audibly and visually during a flare up. My friend kept telling me Ateez were really a group I needed to get into because they were amazing and I reminded her that I watched Wonderland and was just overwhelmed... (I came from BTS to Ateez, it was a jump in 2021...) and noped out, finding Stray Kids instead. She kept insisting Ateez's new song was more my style, coincidentally being the comeback for Guerilla and I called her after and asked her if she was being funny or something. She hadn't realised what day it was. I finally managed to get what she was saying with Halazia, and as long as I avoid Guerrilla during a flare I am in love with these boys. Talk about talent and versatility! P. S. My condolences to you about your friend. It'll be hard for a while, especially when you think "I need to tell my friend this..." and remember they aren't there but the sharpness fades. Don't hide yourself from the pain, let it out, because keeping it in makes grieving far harder in the long run ❤❤
I love that you notice details that other reactors never mention. BTS "Mic Drop" you noticed the burning bodies falling behind them and the birds for Ateez The Real" 😁
I've watched countless reaction to Halazia and I think you're the only one who actually appreciate Hongjoong's rap part... The "Let me dance a real dance, let me dream a real dream, let me feel all these senses' and 'What have we been so silent for? who are we in the darkness for' parts really hit hard? This song came out when I was going through some issues, when I felt really numb because everyone just kept invalidating my dreams. They still do, but I've learned to be a good daughter by doing what they want me to do. However, when I listened to this song, I finally thought about my dreams, what I wanted to do and decided I couldn't just shut up forever. I love my parents a lot, but no, I don't want to be a doctor, I want to be a singer... Also, when I discovered their storyline, this song just got more meaningful. I can not describe how amazing this song is enough... And I'm so sorry for your loss. I have never experienced the death of anyone, so I can't say I understand how you feel. But I know it must be hard. I don't know if this is helpful or not, but well, it's going to be okay, someday. Looking forward to your uploads! ;)
You have first listen to their debut song Pirate King and Treasure if you are confused as they mentioned in a song lyric that they started fom a desert. Ateez theme line is Pirates and so only you can see pirate ships on many of their videos. Before Halazia you have to listen to Hala Hala from which they earned a name HALATEEZ. After an ATEEZ song ends there is a storyline which is hint or music of their next song which connects after it. If you can see their guide you will get to know more in detail what I mean. Also listen to their new song Bouncy thats really freaking awesome.
you should listen to (if you haven’t yet,) pirate king, HALA HALA, Rocky, and some of their b-sides! (their b-side tracks are even better than the title tracks in my opinion,) also with what you said toward the ending of the halazia MV about coping with loss and other events, everything gets better with time, everything will be better soon !
I love your reactions so much, you’re the only one I watch reactions of! Condolences on your friend and I hope your sister is doing okay and healing from whatever happened, don’t feel like you can’t continue your break when needed
Hope you get to check out the dance practices. So good! Ateez's discography is so unique, you can see that they don't stay with the same routine. I love that they experiment with different sound and arrangements. Ateez always just do THEIR own thing and I love it.
I forgot to mention all of their songs including their b-side are no skip for me and the new album The World Ep.2 : Outlaw it goes HARD. To me it's a banger. I love ❤ it.
I'm still SO MAD that KQ Ent didnt give justice to this song ! Like, a lot of fans couldn't believe that it wasnt on the setlist for their last world tour and it became an issue. Not only KQ ent didnt give the song enough promotion but even Ateez didnt think Halazia would be so liked/popular. If I remember correctly, hongjoong said it was "just a song released to wait for the next comeback" kinda like a filler song I guess ? ITS CRAZY !!!
yey another ateez reaction. i cant wait for ur reaction to the guide, you'll get to know more about each of the members and surely fall inlove with them more, you'd also be surprise to know their personalities especially san the guy you like u said u like rapping might want to check out some of their bsides that showcased their rap skills. the leaders, (everyone rapped in this), wake up (hongjoong's fastest rap if im not mistaken) and to the beat (i just love this songg i want u to check it out too i swear its so good) also youre the only reactor ive seen who likes the mv lol i love it im so sorry for your loss, sending hugs w consent and hoping the best for your sister, take care
By the way, I wanted to say that I appreciate you. For one, a lot of guys aren't interested in Kpop and when they are, it's the girl groups, which is understandable. So for you to take interest in guy groups is very appreciated. I myself am a guy who is more interested in the guy groups rather than the girl groups. Don't get me wrong I will bounce to a DREAMCATCHER song like no one's business. Still, I'm glad to see you. Also, edited, unedited... Speak your truth. Tell the world your truth in whichever way best suits you. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. When I was a teenager, I had a 20 something friend who went to church with me. We would go "exploring" my area in his jeep, while just blasting music. He was so cool to me because he not only painted art but he listened to bands that I had never heard of before. I remember getting pulled out of school one day to find out that he had died from his cancer. It broke me, really. I wasn't okay for a while there. It even hurts now, as a 34 year old to think back and realize that he's been gone for half of my life and that I'm older than he was when he died. The pang of sadness goes away but it doesn't hurt as deeply as time passes. Just remember the good times and you will be able to keep going. Much love my guy. Keep listening to ATEEZ.
i recommended the kingdom version of wonderland and rythmn ta. i guarantee youll be shock. and also their m/v version of utopia and illusion, and turbulence.
yo man!! i'm new to the videos, loving ur ateez reactions so im a new subscriber!! i have some suggestions but im not sure if i've watched all of your ateez reactions so i apologize if you've seen any of these already but i definitely recommend bouncy, don't stop, paradigm, HALA HALA, turbulence, rocky (boxers ver.), and the black cat nero!!! keep it going man!!
Every song, every video, since their debut has something to do with their storyline in one way or another. They even bring it into our world, the black ball you saw in the last song, "HALAZIA," they have it floating over ATINY at their concerts. And please, a little info to help you out. In the last video, the title, Halazia, holds a lot of meaning. First, in their storyline, HALA stands for Hearts Awaken, Live Alive. Now you looked it up, but only gave you half the info. You see, HALA in Hindi means "Black Mass." And Zia stands for "Light" in both Arabic and Latin. You can look at it this way, "Bring Light to the Black Mass." Now, these are simplified explanations, and what I mean is that for both words, I believe there are multiple ways to interpret them. But since they have a Black Mass or Ball or what ATINY called "The eye in the sky." It's how the "Bad guys" or the "White giants " in their storyline watch ATEEZ in their world called Strictland. At the very end of the song, the 4 ppl at the top of the building, they are what we believe to be "the Witnesses" that the guys need to take back to others what the saw, and allow others to make the decision to break away from the control. If you listen to the end again, you will hear the sound of a bird, a bluebird, to be exact. You see the name of their album before this last one is called "Spin Off: From the Witness," and the last song on that album is called "Bluebird." So you see, there is a lot involved with their storyline. If you would like to find out more, they have several videos of prologs for either their 1st or 2nd album as well as one for Spin off. There are several videos they did for this last album, Spin-off, that were made and designed to be watched prior to watching the next part of their storyline. There are also several ATINY that have explanations and theories on their storyline. The capitan (leader)of the group, Hongjoong, has said we haven't even gotten thru 1/3 of the story, and we are already 4 years since debut. I have made this post already very long, and for that, I apologize. So I will leave you with this, I have been ATINY since even before they debuted, and I am extremely proud of how far they have come, and the amazing road that lies in front of them. They are so good that several other artists have actually stolen from them. Whether it be a song. Another songwriter used their song "Wave" (the song with Akuna Matata in the song) to a dancer coping a dance move that they did first (the shopping cart move from Say My Name) and finally a Nigerian rapper using the entire video of "The Real" and used it for his own. He even used a couple of scenes from Say My Name. It just tells me that ppl are paying attention to them. On top of hitting number one on the UK album charts. Hitting number 2 on the U.S. album world charts. They are amazing. I'm sorry again for the long long post, when it comes to ATEEZ, I start saying something, and just keep going. But I hope something in the post helps you. GOOD LUCK, and I hope to see more reactions.
Go back to their beginnings. Their songs are a storyline. It is their evolution. I promise you’ll understand ATEEZ better. Start with “Pirate King”. I posted in the last video of yours I watched. I don’t guess you saw it.
I CANT STOP PLAYING DEJA VU😭😭I HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY THE VIDEO THOUGH!!!
that was my first ateez song
You're not alone,bruh🥳
Pls listen another 5 tracks from ateez the world ep.2 : outlaw. They're all bangers🔥so I've been waiting for this because you really fall in love with them n I love ur reaction😍
Aye, I was so excited for you to post smt about ATEEZ again >.< ! :D You're great, keep goin'😊 Again (sorry xD) I am suggesting PIRATE KING; HALA HALA, Treasure AND Illusion! (I am so sorry if I bother you xD but you won't be disappointed though^-^)
Deja Vu is one of my most played ATEEZ songs we don’t blame you
YOU JS LIKE ME FRFR BLUD💯💯‼️
Honestly, San is a beautiful man and theres not denying that 😆 he did look really good in deja vu
Also, if youre interested, i recommend you watch their dance practices to the songs you've reacted to. They're such amazing dancers
I second this!
I love these songs an unhealthy amount. I know a lot of these are confusing but that's because they are also a part of ATEEZ lore
guerrilla was one of the first songs that made me get into them as a group
Same
also the one you loved and said is your bias/favorite member is san!! choi san. hes AMAZING and a truly great choice as a favorite its also his bday :) hes a great performer, dancer, singer literally everything lol. you should watch the ultimate guide to ateez 2023 and find out more of them all! they truly are an amazing group of people.
THATS INSANE HIS BIRTHDAY IS TODAY
@@brochiachekpop he gets very happy when he’s picked as a bias so consider it his bday gift 😂😂
I love when you watch a group and can totally get intrigued and thrilled by the music and performance // ATEEZ just knows how to do that and really pours it all into the interpretation. Sending healing vibes for the loss of your friend and hoping the best for your sister. Thanks!! I hope you check out the Kingdom performance called The Awakening of Summer by ATEEZ and The Black Cat Nero -- both are so good.
My comment got too long 😭
San is the one you really like. He brings everyone in lol ‘Wave’ is the name of the song with the Hakuna Matata.
Eternal Sunshine - it’s such a fun song. It makes a great summer bop.
The Real - another great summer bop. The Real is fun AND the video is funny. They’re each the leaders of different groups in song who are all fighting over the new kid, Mingi (low voiced rapper). Yeosang (white suit) is like the dove of peace bringing them all together as a unit. The Real is one of the first songs that Mingi publicly participated in when he returned from hiatus. It’s kind of why they made him the “new kid”.
(Rest of the song in the reply)
Guerrilla - it’s absolutely one of their lore/story songs. They are in the dystopian world of Halateez who’s government has outlawed all forms of art and emotion. They are starting a fight against that government to bring Art back to the people.
Halazia - It’s a sequel to Guerrilla. They are still in the dystopian world, but now the government knows they are there.

the fact that eternal sunshine is so happy and digresses from their usual intense music is so funny to me knowing that eternal sunshine is the way it is because the members were high on the hallucinogenic fog, trying to chase the utopia they would never ultimately attain lmao
Condolences on your loss of your friend and I hope your big sister is doing well. We all cope in different ways and I'm glad you took a little time away to try and work out your feelings/thoughts.
Thank you for the reaction. And thank you for ruining the sound of the birds in that one scene of The Real for me. 🤣 I laughed so hard after you pointed it out and I actually listened to them squawking. Loved it.
Ateez has a great discography and they are great at covering songs too, if you ever want to check some of those out. Some are on a program called Immortal Songs, which you can find their clips on RUclips, and I believe someone already recommended their Kingdom performances. Hongjoong just recently did a Leemunjin Service interview where he covers Starman by David Bowie and Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. And Ateez, as a group, did a cover of Leave the Door Open by Bruno Mars.
YESS more ateez i love it. i genuinely have never heard a bad ateez song. anything you hear from them im sure you will love! one i think youll really enjoy is dont stop!!
the real is so underrated, it has great song, vibes, music video, and make you want to dancing.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to Ateez. You're definitely one of the most genuine reactors i've come acrossed and I really appreciate that. I'm sorry for everything you're going through. I'm wishing things get better for you. When you get a chance.. you should react to Ateez more sentimental side to see that side of them too... Such as Turbulence, One day at a Time, Not too late, and the Mist to name a few, but i'll watch any reaction you do. Thank you for everything you do!
As someone who only casually knows some of the ATEEZ lore, I've always taken the Prestige Academy to be a double entendre. Sure, story wise, it might signify the next generation waking up and bringing music back into their lives after it's been outlawed. Secondly, IRL, I took it as the announcement that ATEEZ's younger brother group "xikers" was coming, which they did thereafter.
I love that you point out the intro ~ it's one of my favorite things in the world, truly. Every time I hear/see it, I know whatever is coming next will be great... whether that's ATEEZ or anything else KQ puts out. I know some people get the same feeling when they see/hear the intro from other companies, so it's probably down to what group(s) stand(s) out most to each person. But yes, it's such simple pleasure to sit and enjoy the intro to their MVs.
The "Eternal Sunshine" outro clip (the one with sound) is a teaser for the "Turbulence" MV (visually), but the music clip teases "The Real" (slowed down piano version of the chorus). I found it kind of neat that you watched them in that order, because of that.
In "The Real", several members say phrases in their native Satoori (accent & dialect from where they live, basically). Korean stars typically are encouraged to adopt a "Seoul accent", so I love when things like this are thrown in (or when they're in a variety show and their native accents come out to play). It's similar to having people from different parts of the US talking in their native accents, and using local phrases -- like how a southerner might bring a "casserole" to a potluck, while some northerners might call that a "hot dish", or the whole soda/pop/cola/coke debate, etc. Different places just have different ways of saying things, even when you're speaking the same language from the same country. ☺
For "Guerrilla", the basic premise is that they're in Strictland, where a totalitarian government is run by Mr. Z -- human emotion is outlawed, so any expression of it (art, dance, music) is illegal. The kids are brainwashed (at Prestige Academy) to believe in the government, know that everything the government does is what they (citizens) want them to do, etc. Our guys are infiltrating systems to break them free, so people have a choice to either follow the government or walk away. The kid at the end is one who escaped the academy after the link was broken (there's a lot of lore info in the teasers/previews). You see our guys in PSTG uniforms themselves in the "Bouncy" MV.
Lastly, "Halazia" -- this one is NOT part of the main storyline because it's not being told from the perspective of our guys (ATEEZ or HALATEEZ), and is instead from the perspective of those being affected by the actions of our guys (the title of the single is Spinoff : From the Witness). So basically we get the story as told by our guys (in The World EP 1 : Movement, with "Guerrilla" and such) but also how the witness(es) interpreted their experience of what happened (in Spinoff : From the Witness, with "Halazia") as they were broken free and given a choice.
This is just my take on these two based on what I've seen explained both through comments on reactions and also the additional videos KQ made available to give more perspective... but I'm not worthy of being called a loreTINY, so I could be wrong, lol. Two things that support my feeling that these are connected that way, though, are:
-- San's dance move where he reaches toward the camera (in "Guerrilla" during the breakdown solo dance, then in "Halazia" when he reaches over Seonghwa's shoulder)
-- the phrasing of the lyrics in terms of how they're talking about the citizens' loss of emotions, who have they been in the dark for, taking back control of their lives at the end, etc.
Again, possibly drawing connections more deeply than they were intended, but these guys never surprise me with how deeply connected their lore is across all songs... so... yeah.
Oh, another cool thing about "Halazia" is that Mingi has said that his raps here and in "Cyberpunk" (from the same album as "Guerrilla") are connected (he's talking to himself in them).
My interpretation of "Halazia" as a word is a combination of terms from the meaning of 'HALA' in the song "HALA HALA" + 'zia' meaning 'light'.
So -- "Hearts Awakened Live Alive" in the "Light" -- making "Halazia" our 'light-bringer' by breaking the hearts free from the darkness and allowing them to live in a way that feels 'alive'.
Others have mentioned the amount of lore present in the ATEEZ catalog, and I have to agree. While it's perfectly possible and acceptable to enjoy their music without having any idea what's going on in the actual storyline, it's also possible and acceptable to fall deep down a massive interdimensional rabbit hole trying to understand it all 🤭 Each album (not sure about the singles) gives a new piece of the story in the "Diary version", and those diaries get pieced together by loreTINY to share the story with those of us who haven't purchased all the albums... lol... There's a really great ATINY on Instagram who I've been following for a while, who has also been sharing some of the lore. It's a great community that works together to help everyone (who wants to) understand a bit more about the story our guys are telling.
Honestly, all of the "teaser" bits before and after songs will be part of the lore/storyline. Sometimes it's fairly evident if you have half a grasp on things, but other times it needs some backstory to really understand what's going on... and even then, a lot of what we "know" is just theory based on what we've been told -- informed guessing, if you will. At least, that's how it was explained to me some time ago when I first started trying to wrap my own brain around it all.
ATEEZ's music has the power to heal, it just does. I'm sure that's been said about many groups, depending on who a fan found that spoke to them through the music, but for me the group that has connected directly to my heart/soul is ATEEZ... and from my own experience with their catalog, I can definitely say that they have songs that can heal. I saw someone mention below that you may benefit from listening to "Turbulence", and I have to agree -- it's an absolutely beautiful song, with a beautiful message.
Also, happy birthday to our lovely San, since it's already July 10th in Korea🎂
Ateez is amazing! And San has such a unique tone to his voice for sure!
Owo❤Choi San is amazing, he's so handsome, my bias so I feel you😉he's so unique, and everbody can notice him 💞lv him so much😍
what i love about ATEEZ is that despite every song being so different you can also tell that it’s ATEEZ i don’t even know how to describe it. and it’s amazing that even their bsides are equally well thought out. every song is linked to a whole story. the lyrics are so touching even if you don’t understand it the first time. you know why they’re singing about because of the emotions they put into the song.
they’re really gonna be even bigger and i hope they continue to break more records
Love your reactions!
Looking forward to more Ateez in the future!? 😉
ugh i’m so happy you’re continuing to love ateez 😭😭 i haven’t seen you do a guide for any group yet but if you ever do decide to react/watch one, i really recommend an ateez one because you’ll appreciate them and their music 1000000% more
Enjoy U much 👏 ➕️ 💯🤍 Ateez ( SAN too ... name of the member U said you liked a lot)!
They are so amazing i love them and guys i just decided im a baby atiny 😭❤️
You are VERY welcome, baby atiny💗
I love listening to your reactions. And I’m so glad you really enjoy them. You might want to check out their pre-debut dance performance as KQ fellas. They were crazy good even before debuting. And if you haven’t listened to Twilight or Promise yet, I’ve only just discovered them myself recently. They’re both on the softer side and I love them. As I’m going back and discovering more of their music I’ve yet to hear a bad song. Utopia and Cyberpunk are another couple greats that even my husband enjoys ( He’s not a K-pop fan but I’ve forced him to listen in the car to my playlists). And besides that best wishes to you. Moving forward wishing you nothing but good days ahead. ❤
Thank you for ur reaction! Glad u found out about Ateez! i recommend their debut song "Pirate king", "Treasure", "Rocky (one of their Japanese tracks)", "Don't Stop", "Turbulence".
ETERNAL SUNSHINE, MY BELOVED
I really love all of their songs. But HALAZIA is a recent obsession for me. It's so amazing. You should watch one of the dance practices of it, I love the song so much.
Déjà vu was the song that brought me into Ateez, precisely the dance part of Seonghwa with his amazing blue collar outfit. So I totally understand the hype x)
Halazia is just a masterpiece in my eyes and Guerrilla literally revolutionized the kpop genre.
If you need more ideas of what to watch from Ateez, there is ;
MVs : Hala hala, The black cat nero, Pirate king (their debut song), Treasure (first album too with Pirate King, also explains what they are talking about when they speak about beginning in the desert in Fireworks), Aurora, Turbulence, Illusion, Bouncy (which just came out).
But also they are insane performers, so if you want to watch some of their music performance, you can hear other songs that doesn't have a mv (you can't be disappointed) :
All the "immortal songs" stages, all "kingdom" stages (just beware of copyright, but you absolutely need to watch Wonderland symphony number 9), "MAMA" stages, Win, and Cyberpunk (beware of hotness lol).
I don't have other ideas at the moment, but you are going to have great moments! Enjoy!
Ateez Bouncy is a good video and a good song. I can't stop listening to it.
😂😂 Deja Vu is what really got me into Ateez so I feel you lol The real is my favorite Ateez music video, it’s just so fun to watch & gives me a serotonin boost when I’m feeling down.
Also, their dance practices are amazing!!!
21:52 You weren't the only one! 😂 I have a chronic pain condition that means I get overwhelmed when too much is happening audibly and visually during a flare up. My friend kept telling me Ateez were really a group I needed to get into because they were amazing and I reminded her that I watched Wonderland and was just overwhelmed... (I came from BTS to Ateez, it was a jump in 2021...) and noped out, finding Stray Kids instead. She kept insisting Ateez's new song was more my style, coincidentally being the comeback for Guerilla and I called her after and asked her if she was being funny or something. She hadn't realised what day it was. I finally managed to get what she was saying with Halazia, and as long as I avoid Guerrilla during a flare I am in love with these boys. Talk about talent and versatility!
P. S. My condolences to you about your friend. It'll be hard for a while, especially when you think "I need to tell my friend this..." and remember they aren't there but the sharpness fades. Don't hide yourself from the pain, let it out, because keeping it in makes grieving far harder in the long run ❤❤
I love that you notice details that other reactors never mention. BTS "Mic Drop" you noticed the burning bodies falling behind them and the birds for Ateez The Real" 😁
Halazia is a very powerful song. Some other songs I recommend are Pirate King, HALA HALA, Illusion, and The Leaders. All great songs!!!
iono bout yall but when guerilla start playin i get the chills is so scrumptiouslygood
Can't wait for you to watch the guide!!!! ❤
HE PICKED HIS BIAS GUYS oh man San is my #2 in this group he’s such an amazing artist 😭
I've watched countless reaction to Halazia and I think you're the only one who actually appreciate Hongjoong's rap part...
The "Let me dance a real dance, let me dream a real dream, let me feel all these senses' and 'What have we been so silent for? who are we in the darkness for' parts really hit hard? This song came out when I was going through some issues, when I felt really numb because everyone just kept invalidating my dreams. They still do, but I've learned to be a good daughter by doing what they want me to do. However, when I listened to this song, I finally thought about my dreams, what I wanted to do and decided I couldn't just shut up forever. I love my parents a lot, but no, I don't want to be a doctor, I want to be a singer...
Also, when I discovered their storyline, this song just got more meaningful. I can not describe how amazing this song is enough...
And I'm so sorry for your loss. I have never experienced the death of anyone, so I can't say I understand how you feel. But I know it must be hard. I don't know if this is helpful or not, but well, it's going to be okay, someday.
Looking forward to your uploads! ;)
Ateez are like top 4th gen performers in kpop. Definitely in my top 3. They’re a complete package tbh.
You have first listen to their debut song Pirate King and Treasure if you are confused as they mentioned in a song lyric that they started fom a desert. Ateez theme line is Pirates and so only you can see pirate ships on many of their videos. Before Halazia you have to listen to Hala Hala from which they earned a name HALATEEZ. After an ATEEZ song ends there is a storyline which is hint or music of their next song which connects after it. If you can see their guide you will get to know more in detail what I mean. Also listen to their new song Bouncy thats really freaking awesome.
thank you for your reaction, it feels like i watch mvs with my friend, so comfy and cozy but also meaningful at the same time
you should listen to (if you haven’t yet,) pirate king, HALA HALA, Rocky, and some of their b-sides! (their b-side tracks are even better than the title tracks in my opinion,) also with what you said toward the ending of the halazia MV about coping with loss and other events, everything gets better with time, everything will be better soon !
I love your reactions so much, you’re the only one I watch reactions of!
Condolences on your friend and I hope your sister is doing okay and healing from whatever happened, don’t feel like you can’t continue your break when needed
thankyou for reaction ateez
Your energy makes me feel like im listening to these songs for the first time all over again
Thanks for reacting to Ateez again 😊looking forward to more Ateez reactions 😁👍
Hope you get to check out the dance practices. So good! Ateez's discography is so unique, you can see that they don't stay with the same routine. I love that they experiment with different sound and arrangements. Ateez always just do THEIR own thing and I love it.
You should listen to these bts songs Stay alive,filter,my time euphoria they are my fav
i love ur reactions 😭ty for reacting to ateez!! hopefully we'll get an album listening party soonnn
fire reaction 🙌🙌
I forgot to mention all of their songs including their b-side are no skip for me and the new album The World Ep.2 : Outlaw it goes HARD. To me it's a banger. I love ❤ it.
Can't wait for you to react to their new album!
Your gonna have to watch turbulence next
My ateez 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜
Aurora please, ATEEZ guide, dance practices.
i'm loving your ateez reactions 😭
All their videos and lyrics are part of the storyline 🤣🤣🤣
I loved this dude 😭
I'm still SO MAD that KQ Ent didnt give justice to this song ! Like, a lot of fans couldn't believe that it wasnt on the setlist for their last world tour and it became an issue. Not only KQ ent didnt give the song enough promotion but even Ateez didnt think Halazia would be so liked/popular. If I remember correctly, hongjoong said it was "just a song released to wait for the next comeback" kinda like a filler song I guess ? ITS CRAZY !!!
yey another ateez reaction. i cant wait for ur reaction to the guide, you'll get to know more about each of the members and surely fall inlove with them more, you'd also be surprise to know their personalities especially san the guy you like
u said u like rapping might want to check out some of their bsides that showcased their rap skills. the leaders, (everyone rapped in this), wake up (hongjoong's fastest rap if im not mistaken) and to the beat (i just love this songg i want u to check it out too i swear its so good)
also youre the only reactor ive seen who likes the mv lol i love it
im so sorry for your loss, sending hugs w consent and hoping the best for your sister, take care
Ateez the best
i recommend reacting to the k-pop group seventeen if you have time. their by far my favorite k-pop group!
i also love all the groups you’ve reacted too lol!
4:05 San 😊
By the way, I wanted to say that I appreciate you. For one, a lot of guys aren't interested in Kpop and when they are, it's the girl groups, which is understandable. So for you to take interest in guy groups is very appreciated. I myself am a guy who is more interested in the guy groups rather than the girl groups. Don't get me wrong I will bounce to a DREAMCATCHER song like no one's business. Still, I'm glad to see you. Also, edited, unedited... Speak your truth. Tell the world your truth in whichever way best suits you. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. When I was a teenager, I had a 20 something friend who went to church with me. We would go "exploring" my area in his jeep, while just blasting music. He was so cool to me because he not only painted art but he listened to bands that I had never heard of before. I remember getting pulled out of school one day to find out that he had died from his cancer. It broke me, really. I wasn't okay for a while there. It even hurts now, as a 34 year old to think back and realize that he's been gone for half of my life and that I'm older than he was when he died. The pang of sadness goes away but it doesn't hurt as deeply as time passes. Just remember the good times and you will be able to keep going. Much love my guy. Keep listening to ATEEZ.
12:35 bro got flashbanged
i recommended the kingdom version of wonderland and rythmn ta. i guarantee youll be shock. and also their m/v version of utopia and illusion, and turbulence.
also please please react to the songs on their new album "the world episode 2: outlaw" !! so sorry to hear about what youre going through as well 🫶
When I first time watched the Halazia MV it kinda scared me, really it did😂
yo man!! i'm new to the videos, loving ur ateez reactions so im a new subscriber!! i have some suggestions but im not sure if i've watched all of your ateez reactions so i apologize if you've seen any of these already but i definitely recommend bouncy, don't stop, paradigm, HALA HALA, turbulence, rocky (boxers ver.), and the black cat nero!!! keep it going man!!
the one in the minut 3:57 name is choi san
Every song, every video, since their debut has something to do with their storyline in one way or another. They even bring it into our world, the black ball you saw in the last song, "HALAZIA," they have it floating over ATINY at their concerts.
And please, a little info to help you out. In the last video, the title, Halazia, holds a lot of meaning. First, in their storyline, HALA stands for Hearts Awaken, Live Alive. Now you looked it up, but only gave you half the info. You see, HALA in Hindi means "Black Mass." And Zia stands for "Light" in both Arabic and Latin. You can look at it this way, "Bring Light to the Black Mass." Now, these are simplified explanations, and what I mean is that for both words, I believe there are multiple ways to interpret them. But since they have a Black Mass or Ball or what ATINY called "The eye in the sky." It's how the "Bad guys" or the "White giants " in their storyline watch ATEEZ in their world called Strictland.
At the very end of the song, the 4 ppl at the top of the building, they are what we believe to be "the Witnesses" that the guys need to take back to others what the saw, and allow others to make the decision to break away from the control. If you listen to the end again, you will hear the sound of a bird, a bluebird, to be exact. You see the name of their album before this last one is called "Spin Off: From the Witness," and the last song on that album is called "Bluebird."
So you see, there is a lot involved with their storyline. If you would like to find out more, they have several videos of prologs for either their 1st or 2nd album as well as one for Spin off. There are several videos they did for this last album, Spin-off, that were made and designed to be watched prior to watching the next part of their storyline. There are also several ATINY that have explanations and theories on their storyline. The capitan (leader)of the group, Hongjoong, has said we haven't even gotten thru 1/3 of the story, and we are already 4 years since debut.
I have made this post already very long, and for that, I apologize. So I will leave you with this, I have been ATINY since even before they debuted, and I am extremely proud of how far they have come, and the amazing road that lies in front of them. They are so good that several other artists have actually stolen from them. Whether it be a song. Another songwriter used their song "Wave" (the song with Akuna Matata in the song) to a dancer coping a dance move that they did first (the shopping cart move from Say My Name) and finally a Nigerian rapper using the entire video of "The Real" and used it for his own. He even used a couple of scenes from Say My Name. It just tells me that ppl are paying attention to them. On top of hitting number one on the UK album charts. Hitting number 2 on the U.S. album world charts. They are amazing.
I'm sorry again for the long long post, when it comes to ATEEZ, I start saying something, and just keep going. But I hope something in the post helps you. GOOD LUCK, and I hope to see more reactions.
Bts jungkook "Seven" Solo song coming on 14 July
I would actually like to see if you could react to the ateez guide
Go back to their beginnings. Their songs are a storyline. It is their evolution. I promise you’ll understand ATEEZ better.
Start with “Pirate King”. I posted in the last video of yours I watched. I don’t guess you saw it.
12:57 Im laughing so hard bro😭
the more your videos i watch the funnier you get istg
I think your bias is mingi lol
