i have a list there’s another version of this same song! officially released, guerrilla flag version. i feel like you’d enjoy it! (it’s this song but with more rock influence) here’s my recommendations for ateez songs! 1. halazia (it’s the release that came after guerrilla) 2. bouncy 3. crazy form (their latest release) 4. dune (this is a b-side, so no music video :[ same album as bouncy) 5. the ring (same album as guerrilla!) - there’s a live performance on youtube of this one. ripped straight from the 2022 tour dvd, you’d dig this as well i think! i think you’ll really like ateez, they’re such a cool group!
The also just preformed this song at Coachella (12 April 2024 and they will preform there again on 19 April 2024) There is something called the Ateez lore and most all of their title tracks since their debut are linked to a story / think of a movie Also Hong Joong (the leader/dad of the group- referred to as the Captain, cause Ateez are Pirates) did a cover of Linkin Park - a lot of people were very impressed by it! Also San did a dance cover of "Worriors" by Imagine Dragons that is also pretty amazing.
Completely agree! Hits so hard live! This chant could be heard across all stages of Coachella, that’s how loud Atiny’s get! By far, my favorite chant!!
So true! I saw them in concert for their break the wall tour, being in the floor area for this song was an insane experience. I lost my voice the next day lol
As a metalhead who found her favorite Kpop group on Ateez, I recommend Outlaw album!!! However, they are a group that experiments a lot with their music, each album has its own thing.
As a fellow UK based metal enthusiast, Ateez are my favourite KPOP group. They have metal and rock elements all throughout their discography along with awesome vocals and fantastic performance. Enjoy the journey with these boys 😊
Ateez was at COACHELLA friday if youre interested in that (will be there again this friday). Really good set with live band, GUERILLA was in it as well, highly recommend ~50mins. They are known for amazing live performances. If reacting you may need to sensor screen as coachella have been taking down things.
Ateez’s charm is their theatrical approach to their music, they have a storyline with elements of rebellion and alternate realities that ties all their releases together! Even though i’ve been a kpop fan for years now no one could catch my eye like ateez, their ability to perform live is insane, to the point where they’re called the best in terms of stage presence (they were in fact the first and only boy group to be invited to perform at coachella). Being a fan of theirs is so fun because they can never do anything the normal way, they always make fans guess what’s coming next with clues hidden EVERYWHERE, always to tie it back to their storyline!
Funny you mentioned Linkin Park cause Hongjoong (Ateez leader) did a cover of Numb. BTS are my absolute favourite but Ateez are my next go to group and they are so unique and talented and have a real talent for mixing genres tastefully. 💜
Since you mentioned Linkin Park, Ateez's captain Hongjoong did a cover of Numb that was amazing! It's definitely worth a look. Ateez is such a unique group that focuses on putting on spectacular performances and they hit many different styles/genres of music while still having their own sound. I think you'll find a lot to love in their discography!
you are completely right with the orwell imagery! guerrilla is based on their storyline that has a very similar vibe with 1984, like an oppressive government that watches your every move. except at least in ateez’s world, this place is called “strictland,” where any form of creative expression is banned (hence the big speakers that ateez are sneakily rigging). ateez are fighting back this creative ban with loud expressive music to “wake up” the people. and in addition, ateez have an EXTREMELY extensive (and somewhat confusing because it was not released in a way that was meant for fans to piece together easily) storyline involving oppressive governments, inter-dimensional time travel, etc. hope you have fun watching more of them! their songs are very experimental. some things i rec (i prefer a lot of ‘side tracks’ compared to title track songs sometimes): numb (cover of linkin park by hongjoong, the leader of ateez) arriba halazia we know and you should definitely watch their coachella performance! totally fine if u do it in ur own time too, it’s just a must-see! they performed with a live-band and guerrilla was SICK. the break the wall chant was heard across the festival (although on the official recordings its subdued due to coachella turning down audience for the sake of hearing the artists well). welcome to the ateez journey!
Yesss, I've been waiting for this! 🔥😁ATEEZ has put out plenty of bangers (Would recommend "Fireworks", "Bouncy", and "Halazia"), they're not afraid to experiment and their songs keep getting better and better in my opinion.
Finally. I have been so excited for this ! ATEEZ has huge lore to all of their discography. This past weekend at Coachella the fan chant - break the wall - was heard across the entire campus to the other stages! So proud of our boys and their achievements!!!
I'm a casual listener of theirs, but I've really enjoyed what I've heard from the group. They make these unexpected choices with their music that keeps things interesting. I lucked into an inexpensive seat when they played 15 minutes away from me at a friend's urging and I loved it. Plus the Atinys in the same area as me were happy to clue me in to some things, which is always great. They had a Coachella set this weekend and they absolutely killed it, especially the opening. They're from a small company, which I appreciate, and seem like pretty good guys in general. A personal favorite of mine is Halazia. In terms of what's happening in the video, they have a kind of anarchist storyline happening, so their videos tend to link together (thus the final scene). I know nothing about it other than it exists, but it makes for some very cool visuals in their MVs.
I'm an old metal head as well and I just love Ateez's music! Picture "BREAK THE WALL!" being screamed live at a concert by thousands, it's a WHOLE other experience.
Its crazy that i used to watch your anime reactions years ago, but since then i distanced myself from that world and now you’re reaction to my favorite group, my new passion 🫶🏻 I hope you’ll react to more ateez in the future. finding your channel again made my day!
Ateez 'Halazia' comes after this one. but you might want to check out their earlier stuff first. A lot of their mvs follow a storyline. This was probably the first hard metal-ish track they did, and of course, they nailed it. Ateez is extremely talented in all areas, there's no doubt you'll love them.
I am a metalhead too. My daughter started listenting to Kpop and because Stray Kids I started listening to Kpop, and Ateez just blows my mind, they have all, EVEYTHING!! And even they are from a small company, they have achieved son much. I can recomienda Halazia, Answer, New World, The Ring, Black Cat Nero was the song that made me interested in them.
Omg glad u love Ateez! Their coachella performance was just 10/10!! The "Break the wall" fan chant is so iconic. You saying "Linkin Park-like band" is crazy cuz the leader of Ateez, Hongjoong, is a Linkin Park fan and he's done a cover of Numb!
I am 39,y.o, 1st and 2nd gen kpop fan for years. My old kpop group is CNBlue and Turbo. Then I stop with Kpop since 2012-2013 and focus on Kdrama and variety show. Then one day, I watch Immortal Song of my other's singer - Kim Jong Kook (1st gen Kpop singer) - a competition for singer rearrange the music of old song and sing it live - and ATEEZ won the show. They catch my attention. Their concept, their powerful stage presence. They are something different. If you want to start your ATEEZ journey, I suggest you start with their old song - debut song - PIRATE KING and TREASURE to the newest song , CRAZY FORM. from there you can see the changes and improvement of their mv and music. 😊
the fact that it gave you george orwell vibes is so on point ! their lore is based on dystopia, multi-dimensions and alter egos. it's really interesting, though a bit extensive (love that for me!!) they performed this song at coachella recently at the sahara stage and you could hear people screaming "break the wall" all the way from the main stage - it's across the whole place !! ateez's fans (called atiny = pronounced as 'a' + 'tiny' from the word des*tiny*) have this tradition of screaming as loud as they can during this part. their live performances are honestly amazing. another mv that has crazy awesome imagery would be "halazia" I would love to see you react to that !
You should definitely see more of them, Bouncy, Halazia, Crazy Form or a bit older song like Wonderland or Answer. They are such good performers, I recommend to see their lives. Plus their Coachella performance was soooo good !
I'm a metalhead myself and ateez is my fav kpop group. oh the day they dropped guerrilla, I almost lost myself! best moment in my life. also I love their message in their music, always keep me going forward.
Your welcome! ATEEZ are AMAZING!! You need to watch their performance at Coachella it will BLOW YOUR MIND!!! First K-pop group to perform there & they KILLED IT.
Yassss ateez!!! They’re one of the most popular groups in 4th gen KPop!!! They’re definitely the group for you if you like more metal/rock sound. Also you were spot on with noticing the George Orwell references!!! They used a lot of symbolism from him and Ateez overall storyline is them fighting against a totalitarian government controlling peoples emotions in a dystopian future. You’ll love falling down the Ateez rabbit hole!! Definitely my favorite KPop group out there.
Welcome to the ATEEZ world! I am astounded with what I see in your comments section. So many metalheads (including myself haha) enjoying kpop. ATEEZ have quickly become my favorite group; they have amazing vocals, melodies, they incorporate so many different styles into their music. Can't wait for their comeback at the end of May.
You definitely have to watch Guerrilla's live performance because it's extreme, especially when everyone in the stadium is screaming "break the wall". Ateez has now performed at Coachella, they were on a stage relatively far to the edge of the area but you could still hear the fan screams on the other stages as loud as if you were right in front of Ateez stage!!!
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m so excited you’re checking out ATEEZ!! I’ve loved watching your kpop journey so far. ATEEZ are right up your alley for sure. They debuted in 2018 under KQ entertainment and are a self-produced group. Last weekend and this upcoming weekend they are performing at Coachella as well! They have an entire storyline behind all of their music and the lore is really cool if you want to look more into that. I recommend checking out Halazia, Bouncy, and Say My Name for title tracks, but i could genuinely recommend you like all of their b-sides too 😂 some recent b-sides they have music videos for are It’s You and MATZ - I particularly think you’d like MATZ since you’re a metal head! Honestly I think you’d vibe with the majority of their music, so you could pick a random song and I would bet you’d like it. I hope this was helpful!! Can’t wait to keep watching you discover more of what k-pop has to offer! 😁
YES U NEVER REGRET STAN ATEEZ!! the first kpop boygroup in history that attend to coachella!! next reaction u can react to pirate king ( their mv debut ), crazy form, bouncy, halazia, the real, dejavu
Thanks for reacting to Ateez, (pronounced Ay-teez) I’ve been a fan from the beginning, (they debuted in 2018) I’ve seen them live for every concert they’ve done in London, x1 2019, x2 2022, x1 2023 and also when they’ve joined a multi kpop group concert x1 in 2023 and also in Madrid in 2023. In the last London one for the multi-concert, some of the members walked right past me out of the hotel, very surreal, didn’t quite realise what had happened until they’d fully gone by!
Thank you for reacting to ATEEZ🔥The band is kinda famous around the world (especially in the US), but is still very underrated in their native country, Korea. If I could recommend other songs by the band with the same vibe, I'd say Wonderland, Fireworks, Crazy form, Bouncy, Say my name
Ateez are performance masters, they are renowned for their dancing and stage presence! ( Just for infor, Ateez performed performing at the Coachella last Friday and they will perform again on Friday this week it means after two days, btw they're the first fourth-generation boys band to perform there!) They're a group full of talent, entertainment, competition, love, .... etc. I hope you'll check out more from them, their albums have all types of genres like hip hop, rock, wave, ballads...etc. They're my favorite band of all the bands I've ever known. (I'd just like to mention that this group, besides their amazing dancing, crazy theatrical performances and so much more, they have fantasy voices. We have Jongho the maknae (the Youngest) and for me he's one of the kings of the vocal in the entire K-pop!! You'll know how they are when you get to know them more!) some songs that I recommend, Wonderland, halazia, hala hala, win, wave, inception, answer, bouncy, crazy form and say my name. They have also a storyline, so you'll often see some endings in their video. Their concept is pirates and that's all what I can say because for me it's hard to understand even though I watched many videos that explain 😭 but still I'm interested cause it's soo interesting and mysterious. Lastly, their fandom called Atiny it's a combination of ateez + destiny...! As I said you'll know them more when you get to know them more!! That BREAK THE WALL at the end is soooo iconic chant in kpop. It's known for screaming your lungs out.. Finally, I really hope you're going to react to their songs, I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to them. You won't regret it!
ATEEZ is the absolute best!! Please continue reacting to them!! Their music is unique and distinct to themselves; while they do have some slower songs, most of their music is upbeat and they use a lot of metal elements which wasn’t recieved well by most Kpop fans. It took ATEEZ a very long time to get to where they currently are and they are extremely humble about it. People constantly ask them if they are considering on changing their music style to fit a broader audience yet their leader (Hongjoong🐿️) adamantly refused saying that they will never change their music style to fit the preference of the general public which I think as an artist is extremely noble considering they come from a very small company. You won’t regret getting into them!
I saw them live at mcontdown in Paris and it was incredible not only because they performed my favorite song (and in the version that I prefer too) but also because they have an incredible presence on stage.
I hail from alternative and metal. Let me tell you, so many people I know have ended up in kpop that also come from those genres. Ateez hits my soul!!! Glad you enjoyed!
This is why I love ateez songs this man not knowing any of the lore was able to pick up and instantly get it. Whether you want to know the lore or not ateez knocks it out of the park and you have a good time regardless
thank you for reacting to ATEEZ, they have been made so many progress and development since their debut (2018), the most recent one is they were performing at Coachella. they literally started from zero and are from a small company, they always work hard, give their best, and perform like there's no tomorrow. that's why, no words could describe how proud I am for their achievement so far.
ATEEZ is one of the top boy groups in the 4th generation of K-pop along with Stray Kids and Tomorrow X Together, these 3 groups lead the K-pop scene globally. They are also friends even if there is an obvious competition between these 3 groups, they respect each other very much. They all have specific genres of music, performances, and ways of working : ATEEZ: There are 8 members, and 2 of the members participate in the production process along with their company producer EDEN. They're very well known for their powerful performances and great manners. Top songs: Bouncy, Guerilla, Wonderland, Crazy Form. Stray Kids: 8 members, 3 of the members are the main producers of the group (3RACHA) so they are self-produced. They're well known for trying new sounds in Kpop, and for being versatile. Top Songs: God's Menu, Maniac, S-CLASS, LALALALA, Thunderous, Back Door. TXT: 5 members, 2 of the members participate from time to time in the producing process, most of the time they are given songs from producers all over the world. They're well known for their heart-wrenching lyrics, and beautiful visuals. Top songs: 0X1=LOVESONG, Blue Hour, CROWN, Deja Vu, Sugar Rush Ride. Overall they are amazing idols, I think you will very much like these groups. And you can always check some of the interviews they made to get to know them better.
thank you for reacting to Ateez! their songs encompass different genres but you will find the same elements that gives them their unique identity. 😊 I recommend The World series (3 latest albums) because this song Guerilla is a part of it, which includes their dystopian sounding songs. For the next mv/song, i recommend Halazia!!! pls you won't regret Halazia!!
Ateez are awesome. BTS are my fave but stray kids and ateez are very, very good. Check out halazia, this world, don't stop, and treasure by them. You won't be disappointed. Also add Taemin to your list. I recommend guilty, the rizzness, advice, and want. You will like growing pain by TXT too.
For more Ateez would recommend checking out Halazia, the real, crazy form, the black cat nero, say my name and bouncy. I also love de ja vous -but it's a bit more pop - still cool as hell but maybe less to your personal taste.
ATEEZ's last album made it to #2 on the UK chart (I believe BTS is the only other Kpop Boy Group to make it into the top ten) and #1 on America's Billboard 200. As others have mentioned, this week they performed at Coachella, one of the largest and most popular music festivals in the world. I love this whole album. Their main vocalist really leans into rock-style vocals, and the next in the series really reminds me of a modern take on Queen with its dark melodies and interesting harmonies (I can't say enough about This World, Dune, and Wake Up). Subbed to see your ATEEZ journey. If you like Guerrilla, you may also like xikers' We Don't Stop.
ateez is my favorite kpop group!! Some other songs like guerilla are bouncy, fireworks and wonderland (the real, say my name, and hala hala are all iconic ateez songs) BUT since you’re a metal head, I feel obligated to tell you about dreamcatcher, a group with a rock-inspired song for ALL of their music videos For dreamcatcher, I recommend boca, chase me, and ootd
I've heard my fair share of KPOP groups in over 1.5 decades and I'll tell ya, Jongho's voice is so versatile and FLEX that it ranks in my top 10 for sure. The parts of this song where he flexes his vocal chords are absolute stunning.
Oh I just knew you’d love ATEEZ, I’m so excited for you to discover more 👏🏼 Not to overwhelm you but ATEEZ and Stray Kids did a collab a few years ago 👀 (along with long time group BTOB)
omg yes!!! I've recommended it to you as well, knew you'd like it!!! They have a lot of nostalgic yet modern sounding songs, the synths! But what other ppl will probably tell you: their true strength is performance, they go SO hard. Depending if you want to go deeper into their experimental side I recommend Halazia, or a little more fun and braggadocious then Bouncy!
Ahhhh!!! So, so excited that you finally did ATEEZ and loved it!! Most of the other comments have already touched on great recommendations (I say HALA and Halazia next) but there’s also a guide that would be great for you to watch the 2023 version from All The Kennys. And ATEEZ has their own lore too! Guerrilla was basically them trying to liberate the citizens of Strictland (a corrupt government has controlled its citizens outlawing expression and emotion). ATEEZ are time-traveling pirates who have taken on the mission of bringing back music and dance. And they just made history as the first KPop male group to play Coachella! Hope you love them as much as all of us ATINY do!!
Yes!!!!! Ateez is just behind BTS for my favorite group. Like BTS, they are perfection live. I’ve seen both in concert, and they are both incredible. Please check out more of their songs. Bouncy, Cyberpunk and Halazia are good laces to start.
loved that you recognized the reference to 1789 by orwell. ateez has da lore bby. basically they are in a dystopian futuristic where everything is controlled, even the slightest emotion is forbidden. you should check halazia, bouncy, wonderland, but with their live stages, they are know as master performance. they are not from a big company. Atz is $5 and a dream 💪❤ thanks to reacted to them 💕
*I recommend Ateez's Dune and Wake Up.* If you liked Guerrilla, I feel you will like these two. Since they have the same vibe. Especially Wake Up. They don't have official mvs tho since they're b-sides. But Wake Up has loads of concert fancams, but sadly for Dune there's none. You could react to a lyric video of Dune. 😊
You should absolutely check out more ATEEZ, i recommend Halazia, and their older stuff like Say My Name, Hala Hala, and Answer to start with but they've been pretty busy these last five years so theres tons to check out! Thanks for watching Guerilla glad you enjoyed it so much!!
There's a thing called kcon that takes place in various cities around the world and at Kcon LA 2023 they had tens of thousands of people screaming 'Break the Wall' even if they weren't ateez stans (known as Atiny, which is the mix of Ateez and Destiny). It was so loud they couldn't hear their in ear monitors feeding the music and had to go on muscle memory to keep the choreography right. At one event in Madrid that was similar to Kcon (or another kcon event, I can't remember now) the crowd was so loud and bouncing around so much the nearby seismic recording device indicated an earthquake and put the city emergency services on high alert. It's really cathartic to scream, surprisingly!
I am loving your reactions to all of the bands so far and your kpop journey, if you like the metal-influence in visual style as well as some music style mixing also with EDM, check out Dreamcatcher Maison, Vision, Scream, Odd Eye and really any song. Check out more Stray Kids, BTS, Ateez and TXT too please! I am excited to see your journey.
theres a lot of lore behind their music videos, but yes, a lot of it is about fighting the ppl oppressing them and making a new world. the lore is way more complex than that, but thats kind of the essence
Similar songs from Ateez: Wonderland, Crazy Form, Say my name, Arriba, Bouncy, and Fireworks. Personally, my favorite one is Answer! Please keep reacting to Ateez, you won't regret it!
Glad to see new ppl loving our Boys, thank u for reacting to my Ult (fave ever lol) Group! I don't think if you've reacted to more of them (yet) but hopefully this helps. Take your time, this Group has a lot of lore and information. The fandom name is Atiny (Destiny and Ateez combined) Ateez is prounounced like 80s but they stand for everything A to Z. They come from a small company and are basically legends to the upcoming groups in k-pop. Even though, they are young themselves. They have only been in the industry for five years and have changed the game. There's 8 members and ALL are incredible Performers, vocalists/rappers & dancers. They are called the "Standard of Performance in K-pop". There's only 2 English Speakers (they are still Korean), but the members try to learn English. Notes for the Storyline: Halazia (see MV Hala and Halazia) is the aftermath of Guerilla. In the song Guerilla, the song that is meant to break everyone out of the evil guys mind control, in a world where art n music arent allowed. So they literally start Guerilla Warfare & BREAK THE WALL lol. But they dont win in Guerilla n have to inspire hope again with Halazia. Letting others know that they can they can have their Hearts Awakened, Live Alive & Be the Light (or Halazia- Zia means light) even in dark times. See their song Hala Hala too. They debuted with the Song Pirate King and have a Pirate/Anarchist vibes lol. They still have a bit of the Pirate Concept thrown in (with songs like Horizon, Win, Don't Stop MV n others), but it's more modern n futuristic rebellion freedom fighters. Ateez uses each album to tell a message or a story, whether it be about your struggles, mental health, facing your fears, achieving your dreams, being different in a world where that's not allowed, Ateez has everything A to Z lol. That's all I'm gonna tease for now cause i find it fun going through the lore myself. Next thing to note, they write and have producing credits for their Music. Also Ateez will be performing at Coachella for the 19th of April! So you can look out for that or watch their last Friday performance which has been uploaded to TH-cam. It was insanly fun and a great look at how Crazy they are on stage. Lastly, thanks for taking our suggestions. I think i commented a ton about reacting to Guerilla cause it'll be more in your taste. From Caribbean Atiny.
Which KPOP artists should we check out next? 🗯️
Should we check out more ATEEZ songs? 🗯️
crazy form by ATEEZ
You should watch the dance practice to guerilla
halazia by ateez for sure 👌🏻
If you like “Guerilla”, in the same vibe you have “Bouncy” by Ateez too 😁
i have a list
there’s another version of this same song! officially released, guerrilla flag version. i feel like you’d enjoy it! (it’s this song but with more rock influence)
here’s my recommendations for ateez songs!
1. halazia (it’s the release that came after guerrilla)
2. bouncy
3. crazy form (their latest release)
4. dune (this is a b-side, so no music video :[ same album as bouncy)
5. the ring (same album as guerrilla!) - there’s a live performance on youtube of this one. ripped straight from the 2022 tour dvd, you’d dig this as well i think!
i think you’ll really like ateez, they’re such a cool group!
That break the wall chant at the end is THE most iconic fanchant in kpop! thousands of people screaming their lungs outt
The also just preformed this song at Coachella (12 April 2024 and they will preform there again on 19 April 2024)
There is something called the Ateez lore and most all of their title tracks since their debut are linked to a story / think of a movie
Also Hong Joong (the leader/dad of the group- referred to as the Captain, cause Ateez are Pirates) did a cover of Linkin Park - a lot of people were very impressed by it!
Also San did a dance cover of "Worriors" by Imagine Dragons that is also pretty amazing.
Completely agree! Hits so hard live! This chant could be heard across all stages of Coachella, that’s how loud Atiny’s get! By far, my favorite chant!!
I AGREE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
So true! I saw them in concert for their break the wall tour, being in the floor area for this song was an insane experience. I lost my voice the next day lol
I was blessed to be part of the live fan chant at Duluth D2. I can assure you it was an AMAZING experience

As a metalhead who found her favorite Kpop group on Ateez, I recommend Outlaw album!!! However, they are a group that experiments a lot with their music, each album has its own thing.
As a fellow UK based metal enthusiast, Ateez are my favourite KPOP group. They have metal and rock elements all throughout their discography along with awesome vocals and fantastic performance. Enjoy the journey with these boys 😊
most songs have edm too
Ateez was at COACHELLA friday if youre interested in that (will be there again this friday). Really good set with live band, GUERILLA was in it as well, highly recommend ~50mins.
They are known for amazing live performances.
If reacting you may need to sensor screen as coachella have been taking down things.
Did you see and hear that the Break the wall chant was heard at other stages and through other livestreams.
@@nyxxdelights yes! I loved seeing the videos showing it 🎉
they will be at Coachella this weekend as well and hopefully with a better camera work! xD
@@KaterynaM_UA oh god that camera work was awful 🤣
You are going to LOVE Ateez. They are the musician's K-pop group. Their music production is unlike anything else out there right now.
MY CHILDHOOD ANIME REACTOR REACTING TO ATEEZ MY FAVORITE KPOP GROUP ?? LESSGOOOOOOO
Ateez’s charm is their theatrical approach to their music, they have a storyline with elements of rebellion and alternate realities that ties all their releases together! Even though i’ve been a kpop fan for years now no one could catch my eye like ateez, their ability to perform live is insane, to the point where they’re called the best in terms of stage presence (they were in fact the first and only boy group to be invited to perform at coachella). Being a fan of theirs is so fun because they can never do anything the normal way, they always make fans guess what’s coming next with clues hidden EVERYWHERE, always to tie it back to their storyline!
Funny you mentioned Linkin Park cause Hongjoong (Ateez leader) did a cover of Numb. BTS are my absolute favourite but Ateez are my next go to group and they are so unique and talented and have a real talent for mixing genres tastefully. 💜
Ateez debuted 5 yrs ago. One of my favorite groups. Recommend Halazia, Crazy Form, Bouncy.
Since you mentioned Linkin Park, Ateez's captain Hongjoong did a cover of Numb that was amazing! It's definitely worth a look.
Ateez is such a unique group that focuses on putting on spectacular performances and they hit many different styles/genres of music while still having their own sound. I think you'll find a lot to love in their discography!
They had a complex storyline which I love. They always have a song teaser at the end.
They are especially known for their performance expertise and live singing paired with very intense choreo.
you are completely right with the orwell imagery! guerrilla is based on their storyline that has a very similar vibe with 1984, like an oppressive government that watches your every move. except at least in ateez’s world, this place is called “strictland,” where any form of creative expression is banned (hence the big speakers that ateez are sneakily rigging). ateez are fighting back this creative ban with loud expressive music to “wake up” the people.
and in addition, ateez have an EXTREMELY extensive (and somewhat confusing because it was not released in a way that was meant for fans to piece together easily) storyline involving oppressive governments, inter-dimensional time travel, etc. hope you have fun watching more of them! their songs are very experimental.
some things i rec (i prefer a lot of ‘side tracks’ compared to title track songs sometimes):
numb (cover of linkin park by hongjoong, the leader of ateez)
arriba
halazia
we know
and you should definitely watch their coachella performance! totally fine if u do it in ur own time too, it’s just a must-see! they performed with a live-band and guerrilla was SICK. the break the wall chant was heard across the festival (although on the official recordings its subdued due to coachella turning down audience for the sake of hearing the artists well). welcome to the ateez journey!
Yesss, I've been waiting for this! 🔥😁ATEEZ has put out plenty of bangers (Would recommend "Fireworks", "Bouncy", and "Halazia"), they're not afraid to experiment and their songs keep getting better and better in my opinion.
Finally. I have been so excited for this ! ATEEZ has huge lore to all of their discography. This past weekend at Coachella the fan chant - break the wall - was heard across the entire campus to the other stages! So proud of our boys and their achievements!!!
The fact he said its added to the playlist is such an honor omg
I'm a casual listener of theirs, but I've really enjoyed what I've heard from the group. They make these unexpected choices with their music that keeps things interesting. I lucked into an inexpensive seat when they played 15 minutes away from me at a friend's urging and I loved it. Plus the Atinys in the same area as me were happy to clue me in to some things, which is always great. They had a Coachella set this weekend and they absolutely killed it, especially the opening. They're from a small company, which I appreciate, and seem like pretty good guys in general. A personal favorite of mine is Halazia.
In terms of what's happening in the video, they have a kind of anarchist storyline happening, so their videos tend to link together (thus the final scene). I know nothing about it other than it exists, but it makes for some very cool visuals in their MVs.
I'm an old metal head as well and I just love Ateez's music! Picture "BREAK THE WALL!" being screamed live at a concert by thousands, it's a WHOLE other experience.
As a former metalhead myself, this was the song that got me stanning them hard
this song has an official rock remix, their leader - Hongjoong plays guitar on their tour on this song!
Its crazy that i used to watch your anime reactions years ago, but since then i distanced myself from that world and now you’re reaction to my favorite group, my new passion 🫶🏻 I hope you’ll react to more ateez in the future. finding your channel again made my day!
Welcome back!
Ateez 'Halazia' comes after this one. but you might want to check out their earlier stuff first. A lot of their mvs follow a storyline. This was probably the first hard metal-ish track they did, and of course, they nailed it. Ateez is extremely talented in all areas, there's no doubt you'll love them.
I am a metalhead too. My daughter started listenting to Kpop and because Stray Kids I started listening to Kpop, and Ateez just blows my mind, they have all, EVEYTHING!! And even they are from a small company, they have achieved son much. I can recomienda Halazia, Answer, New World, The Ring, Black Cat Nero was the song that made me interested in them.
Omg glad u love Ateez! Their coachella performance was just 10/10!! The "Break the wall" fan chant is so iconic.
You saying "Linkin Park-like band" is crazy cuz the leader of Ateez, Hongjoong, is a Linkin Park fan and he's done a cover of Numb!
I am 39,y.o, 1st and 2nd gen kpop fan for years. My old kpop group is CNBlue and Turbo. Then I stop with Kpop since 2012-2013 and focus on Kdrama and variety show. Then one day, I watch Immortal Song of my other's singer - Kim Jong Kook (1st gen Kpop singer) - a competition for singer rearrange the music of old song and sing it live - and ATEEZ won the show. They catch my attention. Their concept, their powerful stage presence. They are something different.
If you want to start your ATEEZ journey, I suggest you start with their old song - debut song - PIRATE KING and TREASURE to the newest song , CRAZY FORM. from there you can see the changes and improvement of their mv and music.
😊
the fact that it gave you george orwell vibes is so on point ! their lore is based on dystopia, multi-dimensions and alter egos. it's really interesting, though a bit extensive (love that for me!!)
they performed this song at coachella recently at the sahara stage and you could hear people screaming "break the wall" all the way from the main stage - it's across the whole place !! ateez's fans (called atiny = pronounced as 'a' + 'tiny' from the word des*tiny*) have this tradition of screaming as loud as they can during this part. their live performances are honestly amazing.
another mv that has crazy awesome imagery would be "halazia" I would love to see you react to that !
You should definitely see more of them, Bouncy, Halazia, Crazy Form or a bit older song like Wonderland or Answer. They are such good performers, I recommend to see their lives. Plus their Coachella performance was soooo good !
I'm a metalhead myself and ateez is my fav kpop group. oh the day they dropped guerrilla, I almost lost myself! best moment in my life. also I love their message in their music, always keep me going forward.
Your welcome! ATEEZ are AMAZING!! You need to watch their performance at Coachella it will BLOW YOUR MIND!!! First K-pop group to perform there & they KILLED IT.
Yesss Ateez! Metalheads for Ateez!
ateez is such an amazing group, my favourite kpop group
Yassss ateez!!! They’re one of the most popular groups in 4th gen KPop!!! They’re definitely the group for you if you like more metal/rock sound. Also you were spot on with noticing the George Orwell references!!! They used a lot of symbolism from him and Ateez overall storyline is them fighting against a totalitarian government controlling peoples emotions in a dystopian future. You’ll love falling down the Ateez rabbit hole!! Definitely my favorite KPop group out there.
As a fellow metal head, Ateez are my favourite kpop group. Check out Halazia & Fireworks by them.
Welcome to the ATEEZ world! I am astounded with what I see in your comments section. So many metalheads (including myself haha) enjoying kpop. ATEEZ have quickly become my favorite group; they have amazing vocals, melodies, they incorporate so many different styles into their music. Can't wait for their comeback at the end of May.
You definitely have to watch Guerrilla's live performance because it's extreme, especially when everyone in the stadium is screaming "break the wall". Ateez has now performed at Coachella, they were on a stage relatively far to the edge of the area but you could still hear the fan screams on the other stages as loud as if you were right in front of Ateez stage!!!
I'm so happy you reacted to Ateez! I love rock and metal and I feel like they incorporate a lot of that into their music!
Thanks for the reaction! Ateez are incredible!!
Day whatever asking for SEVENTEEN
ATEEZ IS A PURE FIRE
second the seventeen rec! he would love fear i think!
Or rock with you live version!!!
Into kpop since 2007, they're the first and only artists i'm stan. Proof that they're the best.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m so excited you’re checking out ATEEZ!! I’ve loved watching your kpop journey so far. ATEEZ are right up your alley for sure. They debuted in 2018 under KQ entertainment and are a self-produced group. Last weekend and this upcoming weekend they are performing at Coachella as well! They have an entire storyline behind all of their music and the lore is really cool if you want to look more into that. I recommend checking out Halazia, Bouncy, and Say My Name for title tracks, but i could genuinely recommend you like all of their b-sides too 😂 some recent b-sides they have music videos for are It’s You and MATZ - I particularly think you’d like MATZ since you’re a metal head!
Honestly I think you’d vibe with the majority of their music, so you could pick a random song and I would bet you’d like it. I hope this was helpful!! Can’t wait to keep watching you discover more of what k-pop has to offer! 😁
I knew he would like the break the wall shouting at the end !!!😭👏👏👏 good job ATEEZ!!!
YES U NEVER REGRET STAN ATEEZ!! the first kpop boygroup in history that attend to coachella!!
next reaction u can react to pirate king ( their mv debut ), crazy form, bouncy, halazia, the real, dejavu
ATEEZ are the kings of live performances, they are the first boy group to perform at Coachella! Their lore is crazy good!
Yeeees, ATEEZ IS AMAZING, please check out this other songs, they are all FIREEE:
Bouncy
Halazia
Wonderland
Crazy Form
Thanks for reacting to Ateez, (pronounced Ay-teez) I’ve been a fan from the beginning, (they debuted in 2018) I’ve seen them live for every concert they’ve done in London, x1 2019, x2 2022, x1 2023 and also when they’ve joined a multi kpop group concert x1 in 2023 and also in Madrid in 2023. In the last London one for the multi-concert, some of the members walked right past me out of the hotel, very surreal, didn’t quite realise what had happened until they’d fully gone by!
Until you’d processed that I pointed them out to you!
Thank you for reacting to ATEEZ🔥The band is kinda famous around the world (especially in the US), but is still very underrated in their native country, Korea. If I could recommend other songs by the band with the same vibe, I'd say Wonderland, Fireworks, Crazy form, Bouncy, Say my name
Thank you for checking out Ateez. Cant wait for more in the future. 🥰
as a fellow metalhead who also listens to Kpop a lot - Ateez is my fav group atm, their stuff is just on a different energy level
Yall I fr cackled at 5:45 when he heard BREAK THE WALL
You should check Ateez - not okay
You won't regret that. 😊
YEES, NOT OKEY IS SO GOOOD
Ateez are performance masters, they are renowned for their dancing and stage presence! ( Just for infor, Ateez performed performing at the Coachella last Friday and they will perform again on Friday this week it means after two days, btw they're the first fourth-generation boys band to perform there!) They're a group full of talent, entertainment, competition, love, .... etc. I hope you'll check out more from them, their albums have all types of genres like hip hop, rock, wave, ballads...etc. They're my favorite band of all the bands I've ever known. (I'd just like to mention that this group, besides their amazing dancing, crazy theatrical performances and so much more, they have fantasy voices. We have Jongho the maknae (the Youngest) and for me he's one of the kings of the vocal in the entire K-pop!! You'll know how they are when you get to know them more!) some songs that I recommend, Wonderland, halazia, hala hala, win, wave, inception, answer, bouncy, crazy form and say my name. They have also a storyline, so you'll often see some endings in their video. Their concept is pirates and that's all what I can say because for me it's hard to understand even though I watched many videos that explain 😭 but still I'm interested cause it's soo interesting and mysterious.
Lastly, their fandom called Atiny it's a combination of ateez + destiny...! As I said you'll know them more when you get to know them more!!
That BREAK THE WALL at the end is soooo iconic chant in kpop. It's known for screaming your lungs out..
Finally, I really hope you're going to react to their songs, I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions to them. You won't regret it!
ATEEZ is the absolute best!! Please continue reacting to them!! Their music is unique and distinct to themselves; while they do have some slower songs, most of their music is upbeat and they use a lot of metal elements which wasn’t recieved well by most Kpop fans. It took ATEEZ a very long time to get to where they currently are and they are extremely humble about it. People constantly ask them if they are considering on changing their music style to fit a broader audience yet their leader (Hongjoong🐿️) adamantly refused saying that they will never change their music style to fit the preference of the general public which I think as an artist is extremely noble considering they come from a very small company. You won’t regret getting into them!
I saw them live at mcontdown in Paris and it was incredible not only because they performed my favorite song (and in the version that I prefer too) but also because they have an incredible presence on stage.
WOOOOOOOO SO HAPPY THANK U
I hail from alternative and metal. Let me tell you, so many people I know have ended up in kpop that also come from those genres. Ateez hits my soul!!! Glad you enjoyed!
I HIGHLY recommend watching their Coachella performance to get a real feel for who they are
This is why I love ateez songs this man not knowing any of the lore was able to pick up and instantly get it. Whether you want to know the lore or not ateez knocks it out of the park and you have a good time regardless
thank you for reacting to ATEEZ, they have been made so many progress and development since their debut (2018), the most recent one is they were performing at Coachella. they literally started from zero and are from a small company, they always work hard, give their best, and perform like there's no tomorrow. that's why, no words could describe how proud I am for their achievement so far.
I saw ATEEZ I clicked ❤
ATEEZ is one of the top boy groups in the 4th generation of K-pop along with Stray Kids and Tomorrow X Together, these 3 groups lead the K-pop scene globally. They are also friends even if there is an obvious competition between these 3 groups, they respect each other very much. They all have specific genres of music, performances, and ways of working :
ATEEZ: There are 8 members, and 2 of the members participate in the production process along with their company producer EDEN. They're very well known for their powerful performances and great manners. Top songs: Bouncy, Guerilla, Wonderland, Crazy Form.
Stray Kids: 8 members, 3 of the members are the main producers of the group (3RACHA) so they are self-produced. They're well known for trying new sounds in Kpop, and for being versatile. Top Songs: God's Menu, Maniac, S-CLASS, LALALALA, Thunderous, Back Door.
TXT: 5 members, 2 of the members participate from time to time in the producing process, most of the time they are given songs from producers all over the world. They're well known for their heart-wrenching lyrics, and beautiful visuals. Top songs: 0X1=LOVESONG, Blue Hour, CROWN, Deja Vu, Sugar Rush Ride.
Overall they are amazing idols, I think you will very much like these groups. And you can always check some of the interviews they made to get to know them better.
You should react to Guerrilla live from one of their concerts. Its insane
Halazia, Fireworks, Hala Hala, Crazy Form, Bouncy, Matz, Wonderland, The Real, Leaders, Wake Up, Not Okay.
thank you for reacting to Ateez! their songs encompass different genres but you will find the same elements that gives them their unique identity. 😊
I recommend The World series (3 latest albums) because this song Guerilla is a part of it, which includes their dystopian sounding songs.
For the next mv/song, i recommend Halazia!!! pls you won't regret Halazia!!
Ateez are awesome. BTS are my fave but stray kids and ateez are very, very good. Check out halazia, this world, don't stop, and treasure by them. You won't be disappointed. Also add Taemin to your list. I recommend guilty, the rizzness, advice, and want. You will like growing pain by TXT too.
I loved when you got hyped for break the wall at the end🤣
I love Ateez. My favorites are Deja Vu, Answer, Firework, Say my name, Wonderland.
For more Ateez would recommend checking out Halazia, the real, crazy form, the black cat nero, say my name and bouncy. I also love de ja vous -but it's a bit more pop - still cool as hell but maybe less to your personal taste.
ATEEZ's last album made it to #2 on the UK chart (I believe BTS is the only other Kpop Boy Group to make it into the top ten) and #1 on America's Billboard 200. As others have mentioned, this week they performed at Coachella, one of the largest and most popular music festivals in the world.
I love this whole album. Their main vocalist really leans into rock-style vocals, and the next in the series really reminds me of a modern take on Queen with its dark melodies and interesting harmonies (I can't say enough about This World, Dune, and Wake Up).
Subbed to see your ATEEZ journey. If you like Guerrilla, you may also like xikers' We Don't Stop.
ateez is my favorite kpop group!! Some other songs like guerilla are bouncy, fireworks and wonderland (the real, say my name, and hala hala are all iconic ateez songs)
BUT since you’re a metal head, I feel obligated to tell you about dreamcatcher, a group with a rock-inspired song for ALL of their music videos
For dreamcatcher, I recommend boca, chase me, and ootd
This has been one of my favourite reaccions to Ateez
They're so great. They're my favorite kpop band. They're just incredible performers. ❤
I've heard my fair share of KPOP groups in over 1.5 decades and I'll tell ya, Jongho's voice is so versatile and FLEX that it ranks in my top 10 for sure. The parts of this song where he flexes his vocal chords are absolute stunning.
Saw ATEEZ at the O2 last year and Guerilla and the fan chant was more insane than any metal gig I've ever been to, glad you have discovered these guys
Oh I just knew you’d love ATEEZ, I’m so excited for you to discover more 👏🏼 Not to overwhelm you but ATEEZ and Stray Kids did a collab a few years ago 👀 (along with long time group BTOB)
Welcome to K-pop and to ateez fandom!!!5
They have a huge story line that ties thirt mv together! This has been my far my fav reaction to this song. I
Loved your reaction! Guerilla is epic! The teaser at the end of this MV is for their song, Halazia.
omg yes!!! I've recommended it to you as well, knew you'd like it!!! They have a lot of nostalgic yet modern sounding songs, the synths! But what other ppl will probably tell you: their true strength is performance, they go SO hard. Depending if you want to go deeper into their experimental side I recommend Halazia, or a little more fun and braggadocious then Bouncy!
Thank YOU for the reaction! :))
You have to see their Coachella set
I was banging my head with you lol thanks for reacting to ateez. Intrested to see your reaction to their outlaw album~
Ahhhh!!! So, so excited that you finally did ATEEZ and loved it!! Most of the other comments have already touched on great recommendations (I say HALA and Halazia next) but there’s also a guide that would be great for you to watch the 2023 version from All The Kennys. And ATEEZ has their own lore too! Guerrilla was basically them trying to liberate the citizens of Strictland (a corrupt government has controlled its citizens outlawing expression and emotion). ATEEZ are time-traveling pirates who have taken on the mission of bringing back music and dance. And they just made history as the first KPop male group to play Coachella! Hope you love them as much as all of us ATINY do!!
Yes!!!!! Ateez is just behind BTS for my favorite group. Like BTS, they are perfection live. I’ve seen both in concert, and they are both incredible. Please check out more of their songs. Bouncy, Cyberpunk and Halazia are good laces to start.
loved that you recognized the reference to 1789 by orwell. ateez has da lore bby. basically they are in a dystopian futuristic where everything is controlled, even the slightest emotion is forbidden. you should check halazia, bouncy, wonderland, but with their live stages, they are know as master performance. they are not from a big company. Atz is $5 and a dream 💪❤ thanks to reacted to them 💕
*I recommend Ateez's Dune and Wake Up.* If you liked Guerrilla, I feel you will like these two. Since they have the same vibe. Especially Wake Up.
They don't have official mvs tho since they're b-sides. But Wake Up has loads of concert fancams, but sadly for Dune there's none. You could react to a lyric video of Dune. 😊
Iove these 2 songs. Bouncy is fire, but either of those would have been top tier.
Thanks for reacting to Ateez 😊looking forward to more Ateez reactions 😁👍
I have a feeling Ateez will end up being your favorite group. They are very edgy and rock esk
Break the wall is the most iconic fanchant. Please check out Halazia from Ateez!
You'll enjoy their Coachella Day 2 performance. They bring the house down with Guerrilla especially toward the end! Thanks for loving our boys ATEEZ!
You should absolutely check out more ATEEZ, i recommend Halazia, and their older stuff like Say My Name, Hala Hala, and Answer to start with but they've been pretty busy these last five years so theres tons to check out! Thanks for watching Guerilla glad you enjoyed it so much!!
More Ateez 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
There's a thing called kcon that takes place in various cities around the world and at Kcon LA 2023 they had tens of thousands of people screaming 'Break the Wall' even if they weren't ateez stans (known as Atiny, which is the mix of Ateez and Destiny). It was so loud they couldn't hear their in ear monitors feeding the music and had to go on muscle memory to keep the choreography right. At one event in Madrid that was similar to Kcon (or another kcon event, I can't remember now) the crowd was so loud and bouncing around so much the nearby seismic recording device indicated an earthquake and put the city emergency services on high alert. It's really cathartic to scream, surprisingly!
You need know The Black Cat Nero ( halloween version for Ateez). It's amazing.
I am loving your reactions to all of the bands so far and your kpop journey, if you like the metal-influence in visual style as well as some music style mixing also with EDM, check out Dreamcatcher Maison, Vision, Scream, Odd Eye and really any song. Check out more Stray Kids, BTS, Ateez and TXT too please! I am excited to see your journey.
theres a lot of lore behind their music videos, but yes, a lot of it is about fighting the ppl oppressing them and making a new world. the lore is way more complex than that, but thats kind of the essence
Similar songs from Ateez: Wonderland, Crazy Form, Say my name, Arriba, Bouncy, and Fireworks. Personally, my favorite one is Answer! Please keep reacting to Ateez, you won't regret it!
Thank you for reacting to Ateez they are amazing.
Ateez is my #1 for a reason
They'll never fail to amaze you
Glad to see new ppl loving our Boys, thank u for reacting to my Ult (fave ever lol) Group!
I don't think if you've reacted to more of them (yet) but hopefully this helps. Take your time, this Group has a lot of lore and information.
The fandom name is Atiny (Destiny and Ateez combined) Ateez is prounounced like 80s but they stand for everything A to Z.
They come from a small company and are basically legends to the upcoming groups in k-pop. Even though, they are young themselves. They have only been in the industry for five years and have changed the game.
There's 8 members and ALL are incredible Performers, vocalists/rappers & dancers. They are called the "Standard of Performance in K-pop". There's only 2 English Speakers (they are still Korean), but the members try to learn English.
Notes for the Storyline: Halazia (see MV Hala and Halazia) is the aftermath of Guerilla. In the song Guerilla, the song that is meant to break everyone out of the evil guys mind control, in a world where art n music arent allowed. So they literally start Guerilla Warfare & BREAK THE WALL lol. But they dont win in Guerilla n have to inspire hope again with Halazia.
Letting others know that they can they can have their Hearts Awakened, Live Alive & Be the Light (or Halazia- Zia means light) even in dark times. See their song Hala Hala too.
They debuted with the Song Pirate King and have a Pirate/Anarchist vibes lol. They still have a bit of the Pirate Concept thrown in (with songs like Horizon, Win, Don't Stop MV n others), but it's more modern n futuristic rebellion freedom fighters. Ateez uses each album to tell a message or a story, whether it be about your struggles, mental health, facing your fears, achieving your dreams, being different in a world where that's not allowed, Ateez has everything A to Z lol.
That's all I'm gonna tease for now cause i find it fun going through the lore myself.
Next thing to note, they write and have producing credits for their Music. Also Ateez will be performing at Coachella for the 19th of April! So you can look out for that or watch their last Friday performance which has been uploaded to TH-cam. It was insanly fun and a great look at how Crazy they are on stage.
Lastly, thanks for taking our suggestions. I think i commented a ton about reacting to Guerilla cause it'll be more in your taste.
