      People are noticing! According to a survey taken from 33 experts working in different entertainment companies, Ateez is the 3rd most anticipated artist of 2023 and the 1st most anticipated boy group and, according to a Kpop predictions for 2023 article, they said that "Ateez stands strong as one of the most talented, versatile, and influential K-pop groups globally, regardless of generation. We can expect, therefore, that Ateez will submit an entry to the Recording Academy this year. One doesn't need to be an Atiny to recognize the value of Ateez's music, and it is about time that it is acknowledged on a global scale."
      I think the only people who don't want to admit it are Kpop stans that just hate ateez cause its trendy

Halazia was a literal family project, I didn't even realize that MADDOX pretty much took over most of the harmonies and SLAYED and I heard that someone believed LEEZ and even EDEN lended their vocals for this masterpiece. Don't know if it's true but I wouldn't be surprised tbh. Halazia was a mega project, no wonder KQ robbed ATINYs on concert tickets and merch, they needed that income to produce all of this.

    First, this is 100% Ateez’s best comeback to date. There is NO arguing. The song itself isn’t my favorite but when you take into consideration the performance, the vocals, the visuals, the cinematography, everything, it’s quite literally art and something that would be extremely hard to top.
    Second, for me, I think it doesn’t quite translate on screen for Yeosang’s ability to capture simply because he hadn’t really unlocked this new gritty insane devil power to draw attention until a couple comebacks ago and this comeback was an even greater height. On top of that, he simply wasn’t given the lines and the spotlight to be able to showcase his ability to draw you in and sing live really really well. One would have to view his fancams to see that he has incredible depth in his eyes that can draw you in. This comeback, he was actually second highest in terms of lines so he has much more spotlight and center time. This combined with his INSANE comeback in raw talent and stage presence led to looots of more attention and amazement on him compared to before. A couple fancams have come out for him and almost all of them are his best fancams to date. He’s been actually incredible in all of them. Some of my personal favorites include: MCountdown fancam (2023.01.12) and MusicBank facecam (2023.01.06)

      There's something about his dance and his vocals that just do something to me, like, I need to see more of him... Not saying this in a creepy way, I was just amazed about the catchiness his lines have. And it's not just vocals, it's his presence and dancing also
      After him, I ended up falling for the group itself and I learned the names pretty fast lol I think Ateez in general is full of very talented men. I can't mention no other artist that is doing it like them

    When KQ ENT. announced a comeback two weeks priors out of blue, I was worried that this comeback would not have the same effects Guerrilla Cb did at the end of July. I’m extremely happy I was TOTALLY WRONG and I completely underestimated the impact would have this song.
    Wow
    I’ve been watching non stop every single reaction videos out there and 99% of the time Ateez totally disrupted many reactors’s Top, expectations and reactions. I never witnessed something like this. The most satisfying thing was discovering new reactors falling in love with Ateez for the first time.
    This song is EXPLOSIVE, DESTRUCTIVE AND IMPACTFUL. I think this might be Ateez’s one of FLAG SONGS where everyone will certainly remember and immediately recognise. Just amazing.
    Finally, EVERY SINGLE member SHINE equally yet differently, I do hope this is just the base of their mountain of great goals and achievements. I hope this is just the real (pun intended) MV of Ateez's philosophy and style.

    This became my song of the year one day before the year ended. It's just an incredible level that we just haven't seen. We thought The Real was "it" in terms of making a gorgeous, story-driven video, but dang, Digipedi just topped itself using our gorgeous pirates in telling their story. Not sure it's doing as well as Guerrilla awards-wise, but it also seemed to drop at such a weird time that the year transition made for wobby times. That said, it did lead the charts everywhere, it did sell a LOT of copies (especially for what's essentially a singles album), and the song itself is, to me, a force of nature. I would LOVE to see San do an acting role, particularly something dark and gritty with some action scenes. I felt like this was Yeosang's video, though. He looks, sounds (THANK YOU more lines), and moves so perfectly here, and it's time. It's time for him to come out from behind whatever shadow he's been using to mature his talents and show us what he's got. As always, thanks for your review, PD, it's always so insightful, and the surprise and delight from you is so indicative of the feelings I think we all had about this one.

    It fills my heart with immense pleasure whenever PD approves of an ATEEZ song. It makes my experience of enjoying this song even better. It's one of my favourite title tracks from theirs hands down. I liked it way more than Guerrilla, even Wave. Its just my type of song. HALAZIA all the way! ✊🏻🩷

    Your first listen-and-watch reaction sums up mine, aside from when Yeosang came in with his little bird lines. As a Yeosang stan his parts in here gave me both goosebumps and so much hype it turned into a small fever. His low voice is used sooo well in here... Everyone had a moment they could truly shine in this song, and we love to hear it.

This a great moment for Ateez, and imho for kpop in general because they are showing us a viable path to the future of kpop music and video. I am very excited for where this group has been and to see where they are going.

    It was almost scary to see someone have my exact reactions when i saw this music video for the first time lmao i also felt like my brain went smooth-no-more-wrinkles once the mv ended, a full factory reset. Also please allow me to resume this tiny part of the lore so the mv can make more sense (i only very recently got to understand their storyline so i'm very eager to tell everyone who wants to hear it lol): So there's "real world" ateez, and then there's "hala ateez" which is them, but in an alternate universe. From guerrilla to here they're telling a story located in this alternate reality, in a dystopian future, where the government has find a way to deprive people of their emotions so they will comply. "Hala ateez" were supposed to be the saviors of the people in this dystopian future, but they were captured, leaving "real world" ateez to become "the new eight" and save the people.

      For me , right now, it feels like 2 ways. One is that it's a sequel and the figure at the back which was burnt is a figure of Halateez. The other way , feels like a prequel , but probably because I like Hala hats concept soooooo much and still don't know the whole storyline.....

    One of the things I noticed about this vid is that Halazia and Guerilla open with a shot of a speaker(s). Also, I felt like they were playing with our expectations re: everyone expecting there's going to be a big chorus drop after the pre-chorus and they refuse to do it. They're disrupting our expectations. There is something very subversive about this song.
