The choreography of "the youth" was amazing, yunho and mingi are already very handsome and they look even cooler when they dance, Ateez did not surprise again with their perfection 🌟
Youth is definitely my favorite song of the album ❤ Usually Mingi's FIX ON tattoo is on that cheekbone. But here it was scratched off. My interpretation is that it signifies that the Mingi in the house is the Mingi that was on hiatus because of his anxiety, literally trapped with his demons and incapable of going back to Yunho and Ateez and being what everyone expected him to be. That Mingi caved under all the pressure and scratched his tattoo off. Your youth should be the best time of your life, that's what adults always tell you. But for Mingi (and many idols, Ateez members like Jongho and Hongjoong included) it was not. To him, youth became synonymous with pressure, anxiety, drinking, isolation, loneliness (the panic when Mingi lost Yunho - the focal point of his late childhood - while they were running; the 7 mirrors + Mingi = 8 makes one team? ... except Mingi can only see his own reflection, and Yunho's briefly, with his back turned on him, as if he's abandoning him) It took hard work and a lot of support to smash those walls (mirrors) down, and come outside into the light. And the ruins (shards) are still dangerous and threatening. You just cannot get rid of anxiety in a few months, you're probably always going to struggle with it. But you're not alone, there are people on the other side that love you and are ready to help you. The Mingi outside the house doesn't have the tattoo either... but not because he scratched it off. He just doesn't need it. Mingi is doing better now, and has realized that FIX ON is not ALL that he is. He can be his softer self freely around the people he loves. Now the FIX ON only comes out on stage, whenever HE wants it to, and not because of what people want from him. And that's why in Tunnel, FIX ON is switched to FIX OFF. When Mingi says FIX ON, he demands your attention. But with these new projects of his, he's telling you to just take a deep breath and enjoy the music, and find in it whatever it is that you need. Now that Mingi is in a better place, he and Yunho can burn down all those ugly memories. For as long as Yunho is guarding him, Mingi will never be trapped in that house again. Mingi wrote this song while on hiatus, and said he would only sing it with Yunho. He was heavily involved in directing the MV, and I believe he also produced the song himself. And the fact that he gave Yunho center stage to let his vocals and dancing shine, in such an important song for him, is so telling. Yunho says: "Like the pouring light, I just want to shine; While looking up at the starry night, I want to lean on you; Smile brightly when you look my way" And Yunho IS the light of Mingi's life. But by the way Yunho looks at him, you can tell that Mingi is the light of HIS life, as well. To me, this is what sets Ateez apart from other groups. It really seems like fate intervened to have all of them meet and find comfort in each other.
7:29 Exactly!!! I was literally just thinking about this today while watching their dance practice videos for "Work!" I found it so shocking how well Yunho can dance cuz I often think that it can be harder for the taller members to dance with as much power and control or whatever, but Yunho dances so freakin well!!! 😍💓 I don't think I ever gave his dancing enough appreciation until I watched those dance practice videos for "Work" too, so I'm horrible for that AHHH!!! 😭 And tell me why my eyes got a little watery when Yunho looked at Mingi here 🥹💝 I think it's cuz I heard you guys mention in the album review and saw other ATINYs mention in comments that Yunho and Mingi have known each other for a long time or something 🤧 Idek what their story with each other is, but it still made me get teary-eyed lol!! Ohhh that's right! And Mingi had gone on a hiatus before and all of them must've gone through so much together 😔 Where can I learn about everything that happened at that time cuz idk exactly what happened and I feel bad for not knowing... 😢 Jongho wthhh!!! Seriously who broke his heart cuz nooo!! The second half of the MV got me so immersed and my eyes got teary again 😭 I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but I love it when Mingi sings too, like his voice is so beautiful!!! 💓 I really liked this song since the first time I listened to it! I had to go listen to it cuz someone said that it gave off GIUK vibes and I totally get what they mean!
you guys need to also react to the first-ever song released by Mingi too - th-cam.com/video/A-7dyCjks-s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V7DKPGkNnthb_TsP he wrote it when he was on hiatus and it tells a story about him overcoming his hardship and winning the battle 😭😭
When mingi said his fave group is fall out boy, I already saw an emo song coming tbh xD did not surprise me at all
I can relate the “ That should be me” alottttt 😂😂😂
The choreography of "the youth" was amazing, yunho and mingi are already very handsome and they look even cooler when they dance, Ateez did not surprise again with their perfection 🌟
