just thinking that in this post-credit scene of ANSWER is the song SECTOR 1 from THE WORLD EP.1: MOVEMENT gives me goosebumps. Two years later the post-credits became a track, like, brooooo you kept this hit for two years and nobody expected it
Treasure and Precious being the beginning and end of this era 🤩 I love how the choreo at the end of precious is the beginning of treasure’s choreo done in reverse. They do that often. Both time Hongjoong is writing Ateez with his hand like ATZ, in treasure it’s in the air and precious on the floor
The era where I became an Atiny!!!!! Absolutely love these guys… had the opportunity of going to their concert and it’s a whole different experience, so happy that they performed all my favorite songs! My ULT bias is Mingi, and live performer it’s definitely Hongjoong, he’s the captain for a reason! I’m enjoying this deep dives, it’s really awesome seeing someone appreciate and actually taking their time and learning everything about a group as detailed as you have been!
That’s so cool, I’ve heard that their shows are wild! Thanks for enjoying this journey with me, I really enjoy learning all the different sides of an artist and it’s always fun to see other people who feel the same!
Absolutely agree with you on Horizon. I heard the song first and was honestly very meh on it but then the choreo and seeing the performance and dance practice compeletly changed my thoughts on it. It's now a song I love.
Your series is what I am looking forward to the most these days. I just love how thorough you are and I like you personally. ❤ I am so glad you ‘got’ Horizon. I was just in a thread where someone was panning it so I was disgruntled about it. It is one of my favorite Ateez songs to dance to. 🏴☠️ANSWER LORE🏴☠️ The lyrics tells both their story in their lore and their real story. It talks about how they started in the desert (in Morocco) with their debut MVs Pirates King and Treasure that were made using free sets and talent (lyrics: The desert with nothing. We started there. Hot, Hot, Remember that time). Also, how they made it where they are through their burning passion and treating every performance like it is their last (lyrics: everyday is a finale show). And now it is time to celebrate both with each other and with us because they are making it and aren’t afraid of failing anymore. Several song names/album series are named in the lyrics: Wave, Say My Name, Fever(both a track and Album Series), The World More lore stuff - Blue butterflies: You see are a recurring theme in Ateez MVs. We recently learned they are actually drones used by the Black Pirates (the good guys that Halateez are a part of that are fighting against the oppressive government using guerrilla tactics to ‘wake up’ the people of World Z aka Strictland) Android Guardians: The guy in white at the beginning and the end of the MV is an Android Guardian. They are the enforcers in World Z that are following and trying to catch Halateez and get the Cromer back (Hourglass that is actually an artifact that allows them to travel through time and space.)
What Hongjoong did when you said is he kind of searching through the map, is just him wrote ATEEZ. At the beginning of Treasure he wrote ATEEZ in the air, and at the end of Precious he wrote ATEEZ again but on the floor. Even the formation of them at the beginning and the end of Treasure + Precious are the same, but they make it backward at the end. Like in Treasure, Seonghwa and Jongho "open" Hongjong's eyes but in the end of Precious, they close his eyes. Also the shutter camera sounds actually a hand clapper toys thing (? idk the name 😂). Because the concert was in cov**d era, so the regulation at that time is artists still can do a concert but the fans should wear a mask and can't scream or talking or making too much noise (to prevent transmission). That's why they use that clapper toy thing 😂
I don't know if this is already on your watchlist for the next album but I recommend watching ATEEZ DIARY FILM before going through the album first! THANK YOUUU IM YOUR NEW LOYAL SUBSCRIBERRRR
Thank you for joining me on this journey 😊 It is on my watchlist for the next one! If you’re ever curious about what is going to be in an album reaction I keep my spreadsheet open to everyone in the discord and anyone is welcome to contribute to it if they want! It’s pinned in the #ateez channel 😊
Hahah no way I just opened your channel because I wanted to see the videos schedule again to see when this video is coming out and here it is! We got to my favorite ateez title track, I dont know if any other title track will beat this for me its my first comeback with them and it's the song I always get so excited for even if I've listened to it multiple time back to back LOL, and ofcourse theres the kingdom version with La Poem which is a whole other stunning experience, it was my favorite performance on kingdom
I'm so excited to see you get into some of their personality content, too. They're definitely sweet and connected to each other, but you gotta remember that being connected to each other as 18-20 year old guys and moving forward from there comes with a lot of chaos, so don't go into it expecting all sugar and gumdrops. 😅😂
That good/evil intro for the Answer comeback stage still gives me goosebumps - it's probably my favourite intro of theirs. And Answer is in my top five Ateez songs to date. This is such a strong album though, I love everything on it. The campfire version of Star 1117 shows how naturally talented they are, just putting out that raw live performance like it's nothing. So beautiful. I love how you picked up on Wooyoung's face as Jongho was belting. There's quite a few clips like that - he's so proud of his little bro. Can't wait until you get into the variety stuff and get to see their dynamic as a whole group or in smaller units, they are so funny and lovable.
I totally agree that m countdown stage was fantastic, and yeah top to bottom this is a super strong album like 100% of them are bangers. I've seen Wooyoung do that a couple of times now and it just warms the heart every time lol and I'm looking forward to checking out some weekly idol / Idol Room, I've missed that show in general and I'm curious to see what Ateez's dynamic is on that show lol
Great reaction as always, I'm still so enjoying your journey through the Ateez discography. I especially enjoyed your reaction to horizon's dance practice. Its one if my favorites ❤ i also wanted to note i felt what you said with star 11:17, it doesnt feel forced or rehearsed or anything like that, it felt genuine. I think that's what got me so deep into kpop, they genuinely care about the fans and include them for their career...both the good times and bad they want us there it feels like. Western artists don't feel as sincere with their gratitude and right now sincerity just makes music feel deeper and mire meaningful now. But anyways, didn't mean to ramble but i appreciate your reactions friend. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you're enjoying the journey and yeah I think the feeling of actual appreciation is a big part of why I enjoy Kpop as well
I'm so glad you watched akt of Star 1117 lives (we do say it Star Eleven Seventeen). The only thing you missed is the one they did in Toronto/Hamilton where when the music cut instead of singing, Atiny (with the help of Hello 82) surprised ATEEZ with a video. It's beautiful, so I hope you get to see it.
That sounds lovely, there’s another Star 1117 video that’s on my list for outside of this playlist because it was too long so maybe that fits in there too
The sound you hear at the end of the answer MV is actually a spoiler of a song that they released in 2022 called sector 1 😊 in case you don’t remember when you get there
If you really wanna know about the lore, the channel eterniteez has the official Lore text that you can read by era. It’s not speculation or theories, it’s the actual story released by the members.
I don’t know if someone already mentioned it but the behind the scenes you watched for Star 1117 is from their fever road series. I haven’t watched it personally because I fell down the ateez rabbit hole way too fast. But as a side note 11/17 is atiny day.
I’m guessing that it’s a show that came out during the Fever section of the storyline, which is neat thanks! I did know about Atiny day from the guide, it’s super sweet!
ATEEZ has diaries, where they have the history of the world A, Z, about the halateez and so on. If I'm not mistaken, there is a website that made some available... Maybe it can be good for ones who want to fit more in lore
We will probably not do Kingdom since I've seen that show already, we might do a rewatch of the stages if people want it, but the other ones we definitely will cover!
I'm really enjoying following your ATEEZ deep dive. I stopped now after Precious just to mention an interesting fact. You mentioned the shutters of ATINYs taking pictures. Actually, that wasn't what that was. We were not allowed to take pictures at that concert. That was the first concert after COVID, and the restrictions were still super heavy in Korea. What you hear during that concert are castanets that the fans received to cheer because we were not allowed to scream or sing. Also, about Start 1117: I'm so happy you watched the fireside video. 🙂 Makes me appreciate your reactions even more because you are truly interested in getting to know them. About Precious + Treasure: Neither are the full song in that performance. Still very much worth watching, of course. But just pointing out. 🙂 The second live performance of Precious you watched was the full song. ;-) Hongjoong at the end of Precious: he is writing ATEEZ on the floor. curiously, he writes ATEEZ in the air at the beginning of Treasure. And the Precious choreo ends with them in the same position they are in the beginning of the Treasure choreo.
hi! loved this deep dive, though i believe you missed one video- "outro: long journey". it's the last track of the treasure series of albums and its narration ties into the intro track on treasure ep 1 "intro: long journey". i believe the ateez channel has a video for it (ruclips.net/video/PE6SMsSBdyM/видео.html )
Please don't do an explainer. They're all just personal theories and none of them are coherent. You're better off reading the diaries and trying to figure it out yourself. They're all online! If you need help finding them let me know!
San, Hoongjoong and Jongho are all on leemujin service i highly recommend checking them out ❤❤
Oh I 100% will! I love Lee Mujin Service, it’s amazing 😊

It’s a great song but it just goes to a different level when you see it performed, love that!
Your series is what I am looking forward to the most these days. I just love how thorough you are and I like you personally. ❤

It’s a fantastic track! It’s got such an epic feel to it and is a great opener to the album 🔥

Thank you so much. I love your reaction as always
Answer is the song that was spoiled in the end of the beginning outro in the last album
Hongjoong reformed that jacket, he did the writings on it, they’re lyrics from their song

I definitely won’t 🤣 I have a memory like a goldfish
@ write it down 🤣
TY Horizon is uplifting, I like the Korean traditional instruments and Korean woman singing in the back is awesome, love the Traditional sounds 🔥💜
If you really wanna know about the lore, the channel eterniteez has the official Lore text that you can read by era. It’s not speculation or theories, it’s the actual story released by the members.
horizon's choreo is truly amazing! cant get tired of it, every performance of this song is always so satisfying.
and thank you for reaction, love it!
Thank you ☺️ and yeah the choreo is absolutely 🔥 it goes hard every single time
I don’t know if someone already mentioned it but the behind the scenes you watched for Star 1117 is from their fever road series. I haven’t watched it personally because I fell down the ateez rabbit hole way too fast. But as a side note 11/17 is atiny day.

I love ateez
Answer is what got me hooked on ATEEZ and I never looked back! They are so different and diverse from any other group!!
Horizon is one of my favorite works from Hongjoong
non-skip album😍
💯💯
ateez is coming back in two days btw
Yup! We have a poll on the community tab on whether to react to it now or in order!
I hope you also react to ateez COACHELLA, KINGDOM and THE IMMORTAL the black cat nero performances. Thank you
We will probably not do Kingdom since I've seen that show already, we might do a rewatch of the stages if people want it, but the other ones we definitely will cover!

38:23 not that Jinwoo picture 😂
I love the songs in this album, I was so obsessed with Horizon when this came out
lol Jinwoo is my “I’m so done with this camera overheating issue face”
And yeah Horizon is definitely on heavy rotation right now 😂
hi! loved this deep dive, though i believe you missed one video- "outro: long journey". it's the last track of the treasure series of albums and its narration ties into the intro track on treasure ep 1 "intro: long journey". i believe the ateez channel has a video for it (ruclips.net/video/PE6SMsSBdyM/видео.html )
I think you’re right! Whoops! 😅 I’ll add it to tomorrow’s video!

Good to know, thanks! I’ll do that then 👍

Why?
Do you have any problem? If you don't like it then don't watch it🥰
