I’m not a fan of Ateez but he’s allowed to listen to whoever he wants since it’s his channel. I think armys are just a little nervous cuz we’ve seen so many reactors hop on the “react to every Kpop act ever” bandwagon to boost views… and then a lot of them inevitably compare all these groups to one another, and other drama… but he’s proven that he’s not gonna be like that so tribe needs to put in some trust and let him do what he wants
yeahhh most of us don’t care about ppl reacting to other groups but if it turns to something weird is where i usually draw the line but imma trust him lol
Fr it’s obvious he is not like those reactors, he is honest if he doesn’t like something he will let us know & if he likes something we could tell bc it’s genuine
Just see few hours you reactions on Patreons and YT to our 7 kings ..and I will repeat here again ! I support you 100% is ok to explore and like others groupe too is nothing wrong ..please army’s have no doubt on him as a hardcore army’s we know Jonathan are too even his a baby army 😊Please don’t forget our Precious 7 kings always share messages of respect and love to others..first time I listen to Ateez they really good I love it ..but even we love other’s music nothing will changes our love to our 7 kings and no doubt for Charle Loui Jonathan too !! Jonathan really love you reactions and thoughts as usual 😊I know how hard workings you are , thank you 🙏 you nice keep going 💜💜💜
Ateez is that one group that has massive amounts of talent, but is under appreciated so I’m glad you’re giving them some love and checking them out!! they’re my ults and I love them sm
They really do deserve more attention but they do have a great fandom that's loyal & full of love. I'm not Atiny myself (in fact I'm not really in any fandom) but I appreciate great music & performances. They go so hard & have such a great bond, can't help but love ATEEZ!
As an ARMY from debut times, i respect ATEEZ bc they come from a small company and built their agency up just like BTS has built up bighit into hybe. I respect the hustle and also the fact that they participate in the production of their music rather than just be handed songs to do.
I don't care which group you "stan" or if you even like kpop, you can't deny that Ateez are pretty amazing! Thank you for this hyped and genuine reaction 💙 it completely made my day!
I'm Atiny (Ateez fandom) so I'm happy to see others enjoy their music, and I also appreciate your honesty about your music preference. For me It's important to not blindly support an artist just because you love them, not every song will resonate with you but that's ok, you can still show respect for their efforts. It may not be for you but I'm sure someone out there loves that specific song. To the army here I hope you give an honest chance to our boys, their passion to express themselves is one of their main attraction, they want to showcase everything to us and they try their best to receive constructive criticism from Atinys to improve their music. To my beautiful Atinys please remember to be respectful of others, we represent Ateez in the eyes of the world. What we do is a reflection of Ateez. Remember Humble and Kindness, please. Let's make our Captain proud by being sincere without attacking others. Edit: English is not my first language, I apologize if I said something in a rude manner.
Well said .I’m a hardcore army because you are so respectful make me want to know Ateez thank for you kinds words ..our 7 precious kings always share the message of love and respect hope all army’s will be respectful to you like you are to us 😊I’m a grow Asian Canadian women I’m casually music listener until I meet BTS is completely a life changing then nothing will changes that they will be always my #1 but is ok to explore and love others too and what I see from Ateez are really amazing love it already ..can’t wait to see next and thank you for you kinds words 💜💜💜
@@xiBlaaZeD I understand what you feel towards BTS because that's what I feel for Ateez. They are the little brothers that I never had the chance to have in my family. I will always respect and applaud others people efforts. BTS is very important to k-pop, that I know. I hope you continue to find happiness in music, no matter the source.
@@ShineStarTiny thank you sweetie , same for me , I’m pretty sure we will cross each other again ☺️here ..all the best and take good care of yourself Borahae 💜
I only stan BTS but I do enjoy other kpop groups and I lately went to a kpop festival where I saw Ateez live, and let me tell you, they were INCREDIBLE! The energy was amazing and they sound even better + their discography is very good. So yeah, the tribe trusts you Loui, feel free to react to anybody you like or do other kind of videos if you want!
Jongho is hands down the best vocalist of 4th generation. Glad you’re loving them! My ult group is BTS, but i fell in a rabbit hole of multi stanning and Ateez is one of the groups I stan haha they are genuinely such sweet people
Okay, here’s the scoop on Ateez storyline. Almost all of their songs are part of the storyline, they also have a lot of supplementary material and videos to flesh out the story a little. It goes like this: Ateez are a crew of pirates that received a magic hourglass (the one that broke at the end of Deja Vu) that allows them to travel through time and across dimensions. On their journey they look for treasure, have adventures, and fight bad guys, sometime with the help of Halateez, which are the Ateez members, but from an alternate universe. (The guy that was killed by the bullet in Bouncy was one of those bad guys). Each Ateez album is labeled with a chapter name and an episode name and number. The current chapter is called The World, where Ateez has entered a dystopian world where emotions have been brainwashed out of the population to make them easier to control. Ateez has started a Guerrilla insurgency to take down the corrupt government and restore emotions to the people, even smuggling weapons in chili peppers. And as you can imagine, chilis would be in high demand among people who had no emotion and were desperate to feel something. Thanks to the music video for Halazia it seems like Halateez is also in this world, and it could possibly be their home world since we learn earlier that the dimension Halateez comes from is also dystopian. Also, as you might have noticed, Ateez videos are like Marvel movies in that there are usually extra scenes after the credits (so to speak). Usually these have to do with the story line and often they tease songs from the next album.
thanks for the info!! I'm a super casual fan and love listening to the music, and would have never been able to piece all of that together on my own! appreciate it!
Loretiny here. It’s so interesting to hear different views of the lore. They’re usually similar. My moots and I believe that HalaTeez is now gone and ATEEZ has taken over their role. Otherwise we’re pretty similar.
Except the Atinys I met on Twitter were really toxic lol but other than that, my experience with few Atinys on tiktok who are now my moots were really sweet and kind love em!
@@lindseywhite9392 I got alot of friends from twt so not sure about that lmao💀. Ik Twitter stans can be very toxic but some just stream, give updates and do their own stuff.
ateez never ever disappoints seriously you should hear inception, answer, halazia, and the real!! fire also if you care about lyrics you will love them so much more.. and hongjoong and mingi the 2 rappers, always write for the songs! you will not regret getting into ateez 🙏
I’m a casual listener of Ateez but I’m realizing how much I may be shortchanging myself by not digging deeper. They really are pretty great. Bouncy always puts a smile on my face. No idea why that song brings me joy but it does. BTS has a big piece of my heart and way too much of my brain space but discovering new music to love is probably my favorite thing in the world. The tribe will follow your journey wherever it leads.
If your an Army you should definitely get into Ateez, they have very much incomon that’s one of the things that make me love Ateez they reminded me of Bts, they both came from a small company and made a name for their company, they both have amazing vocal lines, they both have amazing rappers, their songs are all hits even the bsides, and they also have a story line of breaking norm and finding yourself just like Bts, not to mention they are very humble, and they are huge fans of Bts themselves, so Ateez is the perfect group to get into if your looking to try another group while our boys are in the Army, they won’t disappoint
after listening to BTS they raised my standards so high that other kpop groups dont do it for me. the only kpop group that caught my attention was ATEEZ and now I'm obsessed with them. ATEEZ really stand out alot from other kpop groups. you'll notice this when you react more to them. they're a self made group, they're involved in the writing lyric process, rapline produce songs, and the members participate in choreographing their choreos, there's nothing they cant do what truly sets ateez apart from the rest of the kpop groups is their live performances, the energy, stage presence and theatrical performances they bring into the table is UNMATCHED. they always sing live unlike many groups who lip sync. their facial expression and dance ability is beyond kpop and they can easily compete with professional dance crews. and they have the best vocal line and amazing rappers also, their concept is very rich. they have a movie worthy story line. they take their story line so seriously their Music Videos are all connected to each other and even their albums are very cohesive and the bsides in an album has a specific concept related to the main title track. In summary their story line is this: there is 2 universe: in dimension A which is the universe that we literally live in; we have ATEEZ. and in dimension Z which is a dystopian world, there's a government called "strictland" and they banned art and music and brainwashed people that human emotion is a disease. In this dystopian universe we have ateez doppelgangers, which they're called HALATEEZ. Halateez are also called black pirates because they dress in all black fits with mask and fedoras to hide their identity from the government (you can see them in Hala Hala Mv). Halateez start a revolution to overthrow the government and bring people back to their senses. Halateez use an hourglass to travel through dimension and come to our universe to get help from ateez. However the government sends "white masked man" who is a giant android guardian dressed in all white to destroy ateez and halateez. ( you can see him at the end of Answer MV and fireworks MV, also he's the one that was shot by hongjoong in bouncy MV). There's more depth and detail to their story line but this was a general information. I hope it helped ^^
Thank you for reacting to *ATEEZ* I'm so happy that you enjoy their music 😊 As you can see, they're beasts!!! These guys are so freaking talented and unique, and they still keep humble and kind to everyone. Please checking out to them more, and you won't be disappointed 👍
I’m an ARMY but Ateez are very talented. They are very good performers. I don’t like all their songs but it’s well done. I love Guerilla and Bouncy a lot, these two hype songs are top tier for me and are on my playlist. I’m obsessed with Guerilla and Bouncy live performances. The members seem really funny too. I love BTS deeply but I listen to a lot of different type of music.And I like some others KPop songs too. Thanks for the reaction.
Me too. I respect ATEEZ and although I don't like all their songs ignoring bops like BOUNCY and Guerrilla is a crime, I will never reject good music 💪🏻
He’s always reacted to other stuff besides BTS guys, including other kpop groups, please don’t start acting ridiculous in these comments. I’m not even atiny but I need y’all to be normal please I beg. We already know how he feels about BTS and shouldn’t have any reason to worry.
As an armytiny I’m really happy you are reacting to our Pirates! A lot of their songs correlates to their pirate-multiverse-dystopian storyline. A lot of their bsides are gems with good messages. And overall they’re extraordinarily good performers, it’s worth seeing a live of theirs (maybe their mama performance where they covered BTS) I’m excited to going to their concert at the end of the month!
YES FOR MORE ATEEZ ON THIS CHANNEL! you listened to quite a diverse selection of ateez's music already in this video and if you liked all these, you're definitely going to like the rest of ateez's music! I'm so excited for you to listen to their albums fully because wow each one is an experience. The level and quality of the production is insane for their music. They have such a rich storyline within their music videos and albums it's quite beautiful. One of the things ATINY (their fandom, pronounced AY-TEENIE) is very proud of is how self made they are as artists. They were the very first artists in their label, KQ, a very small company with limited resources, and ATEEZ essentially built up KQ to what it is now. Hongjoong, their leader and main rapper, has produced many songs. These boys are so talented and this group in particular are very well known and praised for their performances and stage presence. I have never seen a group that captivates and shows such emotion like ATEEZ does when they perform. These boys have also spoken up a lot about inclusivity and equality and always aim to spread a positive message and that makes me really proud as an ATINY. I'm so excited to go through the journey of exploring ATEEZ's music with you, they really never do disappoint. If you made it all the way here, this link is the very first piece of content ATEEZ ever put out into the world, a pre-debut dance cover where they really showcase their energy, their flavor and personality. For a lot of ATINY, myself included, this was their introduction to ATEEZ and it holds a special place in the fandom. I think it would be nice to see you check it out! th-cam.com/video/5A9EMLrURS8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KQENTERTAINMENT
If you’re a story/lore enjoyer, Ateez is definitely the group for you!! Long long comment ahead I promise I tried to summarize 😭😭 Now for a summary; skip for MV summaries!! Ateez are a group of 8 boys, who have met eachother at their times of looking for purpose, become close creating an inseparable bond, and work together in becoming one and finding and fulfilling their dreams. Due to outward things, they split. One night, Hongjoong (the leader, cowboy in Bouncy/red hair in Wave, twin braids in Wonderland/ first member to rap in Guerrilla) meets a man in a fedora and black suit who looks like him, and gives him an hourglass, The Cromer, a Mayan artifact that has powers based off of the phases of the moon; during crescent you can send messages through dreams, and on a full moon you can travel to a new world. He tells him things are not how they seem, there is another world and to not give up these dreams so easily. When Hongjoong awakes, the Cromer is still there and all of the members meet up at the warehouse, uniting again. Through turning the Cromer, the members are transferred to a world that looks almost exactly like theirs, but very different. In this world, Strictland, emotions are not permitted. Things that evoke emotions are banned by the Leader Z, such as art, music, and even things such as mirrors and windows are covered at all times. All citizens have a chip implanted that repeat a mantra “do not question yourself”, and have to go to school for 40 years. While here, Ateez loses the cromer to Android Guardians (tall powerful authoritarian beings with white masks) and seeks to find it with the help of 3 people (Grime siblings and Left Eye). When they reach the bunker where the AG stay, they find another group, that look just like Ateez, just like the fedora wearing Hongjoong that left the cromer for Hongjoong, in glass cases. In this world, their Ateez (known as Halateez for their music video “HalaHala”) are called The Black Pirates, and are leading a movement to take down Z and open the worlds eyes to both the beauty and pain of emotions and free will. Through this, they unfortunately failed and were captured into these glass cases. HalaHongjoong tells Ateez THEY must take over the mission. Ateez is confused but agree, and that’s where we are as of right now; Ateez leading the movement of The Black Pirates to take over the corrupt government through song, mantra, and using tools such as mirrors. There is more, such as after they transferred power, Yeosang is taken and forcefully breaks the cromer in order to save the other members of Ateez and is imprisoned himself. But thankfully, Ateez is able to find a Cromer in THEIR world, and are able to go back and save Yeosang. But for now, it’s best to leave it there for the sake of MV summaries! MV SUMMARIES; Guerrilla; after Ateez has saved Yeosang, taking over the responsibilities of Halateez/The Black Pirates, they are using/ and forming a plan to use Guerrilla tactics such as disguises, taking over blimps, putting up posters, throwing fliers, and hacking into multiple mainframes (the “on air” room with the TVS, the speakers on the roof, the car with hacking equipment) to break into the chips of the students/civilians while hiding and running away from officials who try to stop them. “Break that Wall with our feel, We are the Guerrillas” is the main idea here. You can see Ateez in a bunker at the end, talking with Left Eye (who survived the bunker incident, the Grime siblings did not) when a child with a uniform runs through the gate. He is wearing a Prestige Academy uniform, and is pleading for Ateez’s help because his brother has been showing emotions and has an emotion test soon; if he fails, he will be send to the bunker and disposed of. Thankfully, Ateez was planning to go there to do a mass awakening, so it’s the perfect reason to go. Deja Vu: Deja Vu has multiple of the meeting Left eye and this “Halateez”, as well as the Yeosang breaking the cromer. When Ateez arrive in Strictland they have to approach a man named Left Eye, as he’s the only one who knows where the Android Guardian bunker is. Unfortunately, there is also a yellow gas (if you ever watch Fireworks I’m The One this is shown there) that causes hallucinations and made Left Eye very unapproachable. This is the Junk Yard scene. The warehouse scene with them being identified and the hacking is them successfully getting Left Eye’s help, and getting into the bunker. The blue light and the part with Hongjoong wearing the fedora is the Halateez/Ateez meeting moment, where Halajoong tells them it’s now time for Ateez to take over their roles. The outro scene is Yeosang, when Ateez is caught after trying to grab the cromer and Yeosang decides to break it in order to save the other members (remember, they get the cromer back from their world). If you watch Say My Name, this will explain how Yeosang is depicted since he is in a glass case in that MV. Bouncy; Bouncy has less lore overall, similar to Wave. Their characters are split by what they’re wanted for and who they are depicted as. Most of this story is actually locked by reading the Diaries in the album. The gist is that Ateez had to split up in order to stay in hiding from the government (which is why they look a bit disjointed), and they end up successfully breaking into the school and saving the boy/awakening a large part of the students. In this case, the chili pepper is like an awakening item. Think of it like the Matrix pills, and Ateez is using these peppers to wake them up. If you know the movie Akira, it also is based on that! The shooting of the Masked Man (Android Guardian) and the scene with all of the members dancing in a white building with white uniforms and a Prestige badge is representing them successfully breaking in. The outro however, is sometimes misinterpreted. Unfortunately, Ateez wasn’t able to fully take down Z. Which is why Mingi says “so freaking persistent” and there is a Z carved out in the wanted posters. Sadly in the diaries, Z is very much alive and well, and actually punishes the principle for allowing Ateez to succeed at all. This is where we currently are in the story, and there’s so much missing from this MV that’s in the diaries alone,. Wave; wave is actually a MV that was right around when they started showing heavy lore themes, but before they started really telling us the story. This MV is from the Treasure Series, that has a lot of debate as to where it is placed and how positive or sad it is. A few big themes are there though, such as oceans, dreams, radio signals, roads/pathways, and a big thing is Hongjoong waking up to “Open Your Eyes” (a very common phrase and is used with the Black Pirates as well) with a compass in his hand. Wonderland; this is another Treasure Series MV, but has a lot more to cover. Ateez, who have gone through this long journey, are at “The beginning of the end” and racing to move forward. There are heavy themes of battle, the compass, time in general, failure and succeeding, waiving their flags, and this is considered a major battle against Z with the door opening and marching implements. I have a theory that this is where Halateez failed, but that’s for another day. And I saw that inception was next so why not add a tiny summary to that one without getting too deep; Inception in literally the dream that Ateez has with the visuals of Halateez, and that’s the beginning of how this whole story happens. They’re all in beds, and their location is based off of their character diary from the first albums! Whew! I cant believe i wrote so much, and this is me trying to summarize as much as I can. I’m actually super into the lore, and I could probably write multiple essays before I even stop, but thankfully you chose MVs that are both lore heavy and easy to explain in a linear way (as there are also themes of them being pirates! Hence the looks in wonderland esp for Hongjoong, and things like the hourglass and cromer being so important!). Didn’t mention a lot of stuff that’s important but hopefully this will explain a bit and intrigue you :D
Thank you for checking them out. Appreciate your honest opinion, especially for listening LISTENING, and hearing all the instruments. That's one of their strengths, apart from their choreographies and live performances.
The reason I love watching reactors is seeing that joy and awe when you first discover a group/artist. I completely loved how you fell into the BTS hole. So I’m so happy you enjoyed Ateez and I can’t wait to see you fall into their world as well ❤️
Ateez is one of the groups i stan due to the amount of dedication and talent they have. When you see their live performances its like you cant deny that they love what they do and out EVERY ONCE of energy they got in their body! This group is amazing and I'm so happy you are checking them out!!!
Something I always like to say is that Ateez title tracks make you want to fight people. Lmao, they always come with crazy energy and you feel like you are having a heart attack while listening to them. I seriously love ateez as they also cheer me up on bad days.
Babe, Ateez has literally the most intricately crafted, best thought-out, most detailed and most interesting story line in all of Kpop. Have fun exploring their universe and if you have questions, we Atinys are always here to help you out 😌❤️
One thing about Ateez to recommend them: they're with an independent label, rather than one of the, "Big Three." I'm not in their fandom, but they've always seemed like a group that's trying to do something slightly different than the KPOP norm, which I like.
Yeah, their captain, Hongjoong, always been asked would you like to change your style to be liked by general public, but he always says no, he doesn't want to compromise with his art and want to do things their way
Idk what these ppl talking ab but I appreciate you for reacting to ateez, they are like the best group you’ll find. Their stage presence is like top tier and they literally have no skipable songs! And you know they’re good when you have bigger companies literally copying them 👀 #4thgenleaders
You like beat switching and innovative formats in music right? So you will love Ateez. Besides their themes and concepts are interesting to dive into. They are into World Building with their music, so like every album adds more to the previous ones. You can imagine their entire discography as a galaxy where there are different planets but all of them are connected. Every time Ateez releases new music our galaxy becomes larger, more detailed.
im a atiny (ateez fan) and damn this guys are so incredible!! they are amazing performes, their live vocals are insane, facial expressions on point, looore, good songs as fuck, everything!! im glad that u like and i hope see more ateez content here ❤
i am like a full time ARMY but im literally always SO IN LOVE WITH ATEEZ SONGS LIKE OH MY GOD THE TALENT IS SO AAAAAAAA love it love it listening to ATEEZ with you was so hype
the way i JUMPED when i saw ateez in the title my armytiny heart almost stopped omg. I think you might like some other songs like fireworks, thanxx, halazia, inception, etc. They also have some AMAZING b-sides and other songs too (i really love aurora, django, take me home, dont stop, mist, to name a few) Their mv's all have so much lore and connections its honestly kinda crazy and dont even get me started on their insane live stages and vocals!! i'm so happy you enjoyed them so far!
I think that this comment section for the most part has proven that ARMYs can be a chill fandom too. It’s just the bad apples that get the most attention.
ATEEZ ARE INSANELY TALENTED!! SO I’M GLAD YOU REACTED TO THEM!!! Here’s some info about them 1) They debuted on October 2018 with the double tittle tracks “Pirate King” and “Treasure” 2) They are from KQ Entertainment, a small company who just had 10 employees when ATEEZ debuted but now they have 100 employees and even debuted another group called Xikers! So this is why you will see that the quality in old ATEEZ MV, aren’t that high budget as now! 3) They’re 8 members and their introduction is “8 MAKES 1 TEAM!” (so they’re really like family) 4) THEY HAVE A VERY STRONG DANCE SKILLS! LITERALLY THE 8 OF THEM ARE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS, they trained in LA when they were trainees and back then they were called KQ FELLAZ ( there’s 3 performances videos of it that you definitely need to check it out) 5) Their energy and stage presence is UNMATCHED! (To understand this you will have to watch dance practice, live performances and their performances in Kingdom and Immortal Songs!) If you want to learn more about them you should react to “THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ATEEZ (2023)”
Highly recommend ‘Hala Hala’ and ‘Say My Name’!! They’re ATEEZ’s first comeback, double-title track songs that includes one w an anthem drop and the other with an ANTI-drop 😋😉 And speaking of firsts, they debuted with two title tracks as well! ‘Pirate King’ and ‘Treasure’ will be sure to give you a pleasant rap duo verses and shows that they’ve kept their anthem, epic-ness since the beginning! 🥰🥰💕
Honestly, their live performances make an okay song incredible and an incredible song transcendent. It’s worth it to watch some of their live performances. Soooo much better than the music videos.
Nothing screams ATEEZ more than people just getting into then and barking in confusion right along with them 🤣😭😭😭 it’s like Idk why im barking but I’m gone bark with them mfs 🤣
your enthusiasm is infectious!! i loved this reaction and would love to see you check out more Ateez! They're truly an amazing group. don't listen to the people being weird, it's your channel and you're obviously allowed to listen to and like whatever music you want.
I gotta say, I love when reactors have the ability to make me feel like I’m reacting to my favorite songs/groups for the first time and that’s exactly what this video did to me. Immediate subscribe, love the energy sm🙏 thanks for reacting to them and I’m glad you enjoyed!!
So... I'm an army and I'm not really interested in k-pop. I listen to a lot of different music, various genres and many artists but k-pop groups never really done it for me. I gave them a few chances, checked out a few artists and songs, some of them are fine but never got me hooked. Never checked out Ateez before either and I never had an interest in them, so I wanted to just skip this video. However, due to hearing and reading about all the drama that happened I came here to check out rude comments that appeared here, apparently. But all I could see were positive comments from atinys (atinies?) and some armies that like Ateez as well. These comments about this group, positive and informative, made me interested in giving them a chance and so I watched the video with our lovely human Tribe Loui. Had a lot of fun, 2 of the songs are going to my playlist (Guerrilla and Deja Vu). I don't see myself diving into them but I'll definitely give them more listens on various occasions and I'm in on Loui's journey with Ateez. So just wanted to pinpoint that all that little drama actually did something good - made me and probably a few more people interested in a new group. And what made me do this was positivity from Ateez's fans and Tribe Loui's enjoyable video.
super cute funfact: wooyoung and yeosang were bighit (bts company) trainees and wooyoung left bighit (even though it's his dream company) for yeosang and told him that they would fail together and succeed together
I'm so glad you had wonderland in there that ish is a straight BANGER! Like that got me into ateez a few years ago but yeah they go HARD! Looking forward to more of them 👏🏽
Btw if you think jongho sings high in this version of wonderland there’s a symphony version where he sings about 4 steps higher. And that’s the one he does live
Moment of Transparency: If this wasn't Loui, whom I have come to truly respect and whose opinion I might not always agree with but value greatly, I wouldn't have even clicked on the video. I don't actively listen to Ateez (I legit know only 1 of their songs) but I know lots of fellow ARMY that truly enjoy their music and I am open minded enough to give them a listen. And I'm glad I did. I found a song in the handful that Loui randomly listened to that I genuinely enjoyed. And, after watching 5 MVs of these guys back to back, I can totally understand the hype: These guys are energetic and has super dynamic music-- who wouldn't enjoy that? Thanks for sharing you reaction, Loui, as always this was super entertaining. And even if I don't seek out Ateez music on my own, I would be happy to hang out with you and listen to more of their music. What can I say? Your enthusiasm is infectious. 😉
I’m so glad you’re reacting to ateez! They are one of my favorites and tbh your reaction to Guerrilla reminded me of your first reaction to Hobi’s music, like a magical experience of discovering an awesome new world for the first time.
I LOVED this video, you made me feel the same excitement that I felt the first time i’ve listened to these songs. i really love your energy. Hope you’ll react again to Ateez 🫶🏻
I can't thank you enough for reacting to ateez, it's been a while since I've enjoyed a reaction this much, your energy is amazing and I can see how much you enjoyed and understood ateez, in such a genuine way, I hope you can keep enjoying them and their music, they are people ❤ I subscribed to the channel, loved the video!!
YESSSS!! I was so shocked when I saw this!! I've been watching your BTS journey and ended up just watching all of your videos because you're super entertaining lol I'm so happy you checked out ATEEZ and enjoyed what you listened to so far! Ateez was the first group I checked out after only being into BTS for so long and also the reason I started my channel. I fell in love with how intense all of their songs are, with the famous big build up at the end of each one. I look forward to seeing more of your ATEEZ reactions :)
yes, they have story line.. they usually put a hint/ snippet of their next song/ story at the end of the title track MV, that's why there's part that seems not connected with the whole MV at the end of it
After BTS went hiatus, I began stanning Ateez & a few other groups. Needed to go experience their concerts which is no regrets at all! Happy that you chose to react to their song.^^
I am not a huge fan of their music but i can admit that they are monster performers ngl. They give their all on the stage and are a delight to watch. Ive watched their shows a coupe to times and they are so funny 😂. They seem like very nice people too! I love that you reacted to them ngl. They are a gem.
I’m so glad you’re discovering Ateez! I hope you do some deep dives into them, they are absolutely top class performers even being a pretty young group, you can see how much they love what they’re doing and how much hard work they put into it. Also their group is really interesting and fun, I think most of the members being the same age and only having like two years difference between the youngest and oldest makes a pretty unique dynamic. I hope you don’t ever feel bad about discovering new things that you enjoy, I was actually convinced to check out your channel when I saw you react to DPR Ian, I knew I could trust you to do bts justice and take them seriously after seeing you enjoy one of my other all time favourite artists.
Yey!! All thoose song are so good!! As always your energy is unmatched. I've always wanted to get into Ateez but they have so many things that i don't know were to begin. Can't wait for that journey with you. Their performance is always amazing so i hope you can check them out.
I dont know if you still read the comments on this video but if you really wanna get into ATEEZ here a "little" guide to their lore/concept and more about the members. I got into ateez just 4 months ago but they are already my no1 artists on every music platform. Not only because of the sound of the music but also because I feel welcomed by their lyrics (which are partly written by two members Mingi & Hongjoong) but also their personalities. They always show support to other races, sexualities and genders. Before I start with their lore I wanna tell you some basic things. Ateez is a 8 member group under KQ Entertainment (not KO 😂). The members are Seonghwa, Hongjoong (leader/captain), yunho, yeosang, san, mingi, wooyoung & jongho. Their name ateez has two meanings. 1. a teenager who can do everything from A to Z 2. Dimension A & Dimension Z However let's start with their story, which you already mentioned. The storyline is quite complicated so I hope you understand me even with my broken english. Each member has their own little prestory For example Hongjoong has no family left and lives in a hut alone, yunho lost his brother due an accident, yeosang never experienced freedom, san never settled at one place bc of his parents work and jongho wanted to become a basketball player but because of an accident he can't do it anymore. So every member struggles with their own life. Next to the members there are also some other important characters. - Halateez, the black pirates. They are versions of ateez members just in another dimension who fight their government - android guardians. Some guardians who catch everyone who protested against the government - left eye. An old man living at a refuse dump - grimes siblings. Twins who also live in the dimension of halateez - Henry Jo. Leader of an organisation called 'sciensalvar' who tries to get the cromer. But what is the cromer? The cromer is the hourglass you saw at the end of the deja vu musicvideo. With the help of the cromer the boys are able to travel between the dimensions whenever there is a fullmoon. One day hongjoong was dreaming of his halateez version who gave him the cromer and suddenly disappeared again. When he woke up the cromer was with him in the room. (The ateez boys had a serious fight before that happened but when he received the cromer the boys came back and the fight was forgotten) While they inspected the cromer they suddenly traveled through the dimensions. some weird creatures showed up there so the boys ran away still processing what happened. On the run, wooyoung tripped but was safed by the grimes siblings who took them to a safe spot. However the cromer got lost during their run. Later the boys find out they are in another dimension where the government is pretty strict and forbid music and art. In that dimension some group in black with fedoras who call themselves the black pirates fought against the government but got locked up. (In the Answer, Say My Name & Deja Vu mv you can see halateez and ateez together) I could now explain the whole story of what happened during their journey of saving halateez but most important is that during their mission yeosang gets locked up in on of the Glass prisons (say my name mv & ode to joy performance) and some time travel stuff happens where yunho has to witness the death of his brother again. Since guerilla now the boys are fighting against the government and before/during bouncy they were on their run each seperated into two groups. - hongjoong & mingi joined bandits and are dealing with chili peppers - yunho & jongho are running an illegal car repair shop and have a fake police badge - san & wooyoung live in a truck, san an illegal boxer and wooyoung his manager - Yeosang & Seonghwa joined a biker gang They live like this for 6 months till they meet again and k!ll that weird white guardian thing (during bouncy, but you can also see him during the answer mv) There is even more to explain for example the prestige school (end of guerilla & some scenes in bouncy) but we still are clueless about a lot of things. The whole story I wrote above was told by story booklets, mv scenes, their kingdom performances and comeback promotions. But we still have so much more to understand not only by the scenes we see but also their lyrics are somehow connected. My favourite commections are: "I wanna feel alive, don't wanna stay in the dark" - cyberpunk "I'm ready for the dark, I'm ready for this world" - this world By the way every end scene of the mv is always spoiling the instrumental of their next titletrack/comeback. Okay I think I wrote enough now😂 but if you need some more recommendations: - Cyberpunk (amazing performance, dance, vocals and the song is epic) - Answer (till now one of my fav songs and mv) - Turbulence (if you are interested in deep lyrics and breathtaking vocals together with really good rap you should try it) - Take Me Home (again an amazing underrated bside with a amazing performance) - HALAZIA (honestly the only comeback till now I don't understand regarding their storyline but I love the song itself, and BEAT CHANGES) - Wonderland Kingdom Performance (believe me even you already heard the song, the performance is next level.) - The Real (beat changes again and my absolute favourite song together with bouncy)
This was so very enjoyable to watch. I love your energy! Thank you for checking out ATEEZ! I almost choked at your lil wiggle dance leading into the ending scene for Bouncy. 😂 I'm new here but I will absolutely be sticking around for more Teez reactions from you. 🙏
I loved your reaction to ATEEZ! I related so much to your reactions. I just couldn’t believe how good they are. Now I’m obsessed 😍 please react to more! Halazia, Hala Hala, Inception, The Real, Don’t Stop. I look forward to you continuing your ATEEZ journey.
I’m not a fan of Ateez but he’s allowed to listen to whoever he wants since it’s his channel. I think armys are just a little nervous cuz we’ve seen so many reactors hop on the “react to every Kpop act ever” bandwagon to boost views… and then a lot of them inevitably compare all these groups to one another, and other drama…
but he’s proven that he’s not gonna be like that so tribe needs to put in some trust and let him do what he wants
💯☝
yeahhh most of us don’t care about ppl reacting to other groups but if it turns to something weird is where i usually draw the line but imma trust him lol
I just like him so i don’t care what he reacts to caus he brings such good vibes. Plus what Army doesn’t listen to other music, that’s crazy.
Fr it’s obvious he is not like those reactors, he is honest if he doesn’t like something he will let us know & if he likes something we could tell bc it’s genuine
Just see few hours you reactions on Patreons and YT to our 7 kings ..and I will repeat here again ! I support you 100% is ok to explore and like others groupe too is nothing wrong ..please army’s have no doubt on him as a hardcore army’s we know Jonathan are too even his a baby army 😊Please don’t forget our Precious 7 kings always share messages of respect and love to others..first time I listen to Ateez they really good I love it ..but even we love other’s music nothing will changes our love to our 7 kings and no doubt for Charle Loui Jonathan too !! Jonathan really love you reactions and thoughts as usual 😊I know how hard workings you are , thank you 🙏 you nice keep going 💜💜💜
Ateez is that one group that has massive amounts of talent, but is under appreciated so I’m glad you’re giving them some love and checking them out!! they’re my ults and I love them sm
They really do deserve more attention but they do have a great fandom that's loyal & full of love. I'm not Atiny myself (in fact I'm not really in any fandom) but I appreciate great music & performances. They go so hard & have such a great bond, can't help but love ATEEZ!
As an ARMY from debut times, i respect ATEEZ bc they come from a small company and built their agency up just like BTS has built up bighit into hybe. I respect the hustle and also the fact that they participate in the production of their music rather than just be handed songs to do.
And not to forget that their members are huge fans of BTS as well.
I don't care which group you "stan" or if you even like kpop, you can't deny that Ateez are pretty amazing!
Thank you for this hyped and genuine reaction 💙 it completely made my day!
ahhh I love ateez so much. Theyre live performances are insane, theyre super talented and they're super chaotic 🤭
I'm Atiny (Ateez fandom) so I'm happy to see others enjoy their music, and I also appreciate your honesty about your music preference.
For me It's important to not blindly support an artist just because you love them, not every song will resonate with you but that's ok, you can still show respect for their efforts. It may not be for you but I'm sure someone out there loves that specific song.
To the army here I hope you give an honest chance to our boys, their passion to express themselves is one of their main attraction, they want to showcase everything to us and they try their best to receive constructive criticism from Atinys to improve their music.
To my beautiful Atinys please remember to be respectful of others, we represent Ateez in the eyes of the world. What we do is a reflection of Ateez.
Remember Humble and Kindness, please.
Let's make our Captain proud by being sincere without attacking others.
Edit: English is not my first language, I apologize if I said something in a rude manner.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💜💜💜
Well said .I’m a hardcore army because you are so respectful make me want to know Ateez thank for you kinds words ..our 7 precious kings always share the message of love and respect hope all army’s will be respectful to you like you are to us 😊I’m a grow Asian Canadian women I’m casually music listener until I meet BTS is completely a life changing then nothing will changes that they will be always my #1 but is ok to explore and love others too and what I see from Ateez are really amazing love it already ..can’t wait to see next and thank you for you kinds words 💜💜💜
@@xiBlaaZeD I understand what you feel towards BTS because that's what I feel for Ateez.
They are the little brothers that I never had the chance to have in my family.
I will always respect and applaud others people efforts. BTS is very important to k-pop, that I know.
I hope you continue to find happiness in music, no matter the source.
@@ShineStarTiny thank you sweetie , same for me , I’m pretty sure we will cross each other again ☺️here ..all the best and take good care of yourself Borahae 💜
I only stan BTS but I do enjoy other kpop groups and I lately went to a kpop festival where I saw Ateez live, and let me tell you, they were INCREDIBLE! The energy was amazing and they sound even better + their discography is very good. So yeah, the tribe trusts you Loui, feel free to react to anybody you like or do other kind of videos if you want!
Ive seen ATEEZ live twice and when i tell you that they are some of the best performers in the industry... i mean it!!
Did you go to waterbomb by any chance??
They are insane live! So happy you could experience it! ❤
Jongho is hands down the best vocalist of 4th generation. Glad you’re loving them! My ult group is BTS, but i fell in a rabbit hole of multi stanning and Ateez is one of the groups I stan haha they are genuinely such sweet people
Okay, here’s the scoop on Ateez storyline. Almost all of their songs are part of the storyline, they also have a lot of supplementary material and videos to flesh out the story a little. It goes like this: Ateez are a crew of pirates that received a magic hourglass (the one that broke at the end of Deja Vu) that allows them to travel through time and across dimensions. On their journey they look for treasure, have adventures, and fight bad guys, sometime with the help of Halateez, which are the Ateez members, but from an alternate universe. (The guy that was killed by the bullet in Bouncy was one of those bad guys). Each Ateez album is labeled with a chapter name and an episode name and number. The current chapter is called The World, where Ateez has entered a dystopian world where emotions have been brainwashed out of the population to make them easier to control. Ateez has started a Guerrilla insurgency to take down the corrupt government and restore emotions to the people, even smuggling weapons in chili peppers. And as you can imagine, chilis would be in high demand among people who had no emotion and were desperate to feel something. Thanks to the music video for Halazia it seems like Halateez is also in this world, and it could possibly be their home world since we learn earlier that the dimension Halateez comes from is also dystopian. Also, as you might have noticed, Ateez videos are like Marvel movies in that there are usually extra scenes after the credits (so to speak). Usually these have to do with the story line and often they tease songs from the next album.
thanks for the info!! I'm a super casual fan and love listening to the music, and would have never been able to piece all of that together on my own! appreciate it!
@@Bre4458saammmeee
Loretiny here. It’s so interesting to hear different views of the lore. They’re usually similar.
My moots and I believe that HalaTeez is now gone and ATEEZ has taken over their role.
Otherwise we’re pretty similar.
Wow you were able to sum up the lore very succinctly! Congrats haha
Ateez are amazing. But seeing them perform live is a whole new experience, if you ever have the chance, you won’t regret it.
the audience will be seated and sat for every ATEEZ related content on this channel i am so ready
All the Ateez fans I’ve ever met are so freaking cool - like they are always a vibe 💜💜
Awww that’s so sweet
Except the Atinys I met on Twitter were really toxic lol but other than that, my experience with few Atinys on tiktok who are now my moots were really sweet and kind love em!
@@bxblues yeah but I feel like everyone has toxic Twitter fans 😂
@@lindseywhite9392 I got alot of friends from twt so not sure about that lmao💀. Ik Twitter stans can be very toxic but some just stream, give updates and do their own stuff.
@@bxbluesYou probably went on wrong side😂
ateez never ever disappoints seriously you should hear inception, answer, halazia, and the real!! fire also if you care about lyrics you will love them so much more.. and hongjoong and mingi the 2 rappers, always write for the songs! you will not regret getting into ateez 🙏
I’m a casual listener of Ateez but I’m realizing how much I may be shortchanging myself by not digging deeper. They really are pretty great. Bouncy always puts a smile on my face. No idea why that song brings me joy but it does. BTS has a big piece of my heart and way too much of my brain space but discovering new music to love is probably my favorite thing in the world. The tribe will follow your journey wherever it leads.
If your an Army you should definitely get into Ateez, they have very much incomon that’s one of the things that make me love Ateez they reminded me of Bts, they both came from a small company and made a name for their company, they both have amazing vocal lines, they both have amazing rappers, their songs are all hits even the bsides, and they also have a story line of breaking norm and finding yourself just like Bts, not to mention they are very humble, and they are huge fans of Bts themselves, so Ateez is the perfect group to get into if your looking to try another group while our boys are in the Army, they won’t disappoint
after listening to BTS they raised my standards so high that other kpop groups dont do it for me. the only kpop group that caught my attention was ATEEZ and now I'm obsessed with them. ATEEZ really stand out alot from other kpop groups. you'll notice this when you react more to them.
they're a self made group, they're involved in the writing lyric process, rapline produce songs, and the members participate in choreographing their choreos, there's nothing they cant do
what truly sets ateez apart from the rest of the kpop groups is their live performances, the energy, stage presence and theatrical performances they bring into the table is UNMATCHED. they always sing live unlike many groups who lip sync. their facial expression and dance ability is beyond kpop and they can easily compete with professional dance crews. and they have the best vocal line and amazing rappers
also, their concept is very rich. they have a movie worthy story line. they take their story line so seriously their Music Videos are all connected to each other and even their albums are very cohesive and the bsides in an album has a specific concept related to the main title track.
In summary their story line is this:
there is 2 universe:
in dimension A which is the universe that we literally live in; we have ATEEZ.
and in dimension Z which is a dystopian world, there's a government called "strictland" and they banned art and music and brainwashed people that human emotion is a disease.
In this dystopian universe we have ateez doppelgangers, which they're called HALATEEZ. Halateez are also called black pirates because they dress in all black fits with mask and fedoras to hide their identity from the government (you can see them in Hala Hala Mv).
Halateez start a revolution to overthrow the government and bring people back to their senses. Halateez use an hourglass to travel through dimension and come to our universe to get help from ateez.
However the government sends "white masked man" who is a giant android guardian dressed in all white to destroy ateez and halateez. ( you can see him at the end of Answer MV and fireworks MV, also he's the one that was shot by hongjoong in bouncy MV).
There's more depth and detail to their story line but this was a general information. I hope it helped ^^
ateez are so good!! and not to mention all the members r so funny 😭
Just letting everyone in the comments know that ATEEZ does multiple different genres. Not every song is as hyper as the ones here
Thank you for reacting to *ATEEZ* I'm so happy that you enjoy their music 😊 As you can see, they're beasts!!! These guys are so freaking talented and unique, and they still keep humble and kind to everyone. Please checking out to them more, and you won't be disappointed 👍
I’m an ARMY but Ateez are very talented. They are very good performers. I don’t like all their songs but it’s well done. I love Guerilla and Bouncy a lot, these two hype songs are top tier for me and are on my playlist. I’m obsessed with Guerilla and Bouncy live performances. The members seem really funny too.
I love BTS deeply but I listen to a lot of different type of music.And I like some others KPop songs too.
Thanks for the reaction.
Me too. I respect ATEEZ and although I don't like all their songs ignoring bops like BOUNCY and Guerrilla is a crime, I will never reject good music 💪🏻
He’s always reacted to other stuff besides BTS guys, including other kpop groups, please don’t start acting ridiculous in these comments. I’m not even atiny but I need y’all to be normal please I beg. We already know how he feels about BTS and shouldn’t have any reason to worry.
Ateez is another group that I’ve loved for a long time, I’m literally so happy you checked them out
As an armytiny I’m really happy you are reacting to our Pirates!
A lot of their songs correlates to their pirate-multiverse-dystopian storyline. A lot of their bsides are gems with good messages. And overall they’re extraordinarily good performers, it’s worth seeing a live of theirs (maybe their mama performance where they covered BTS) I’m excited to going to their concert at the end of the month!
YES FOR MORE ATEEZ ON THIS CHANNEL! you listened to quite a diverse selection of ateez's music already in this video and if you liked all these, you're definitely going to like the rest of ateez's music! I'm so excited for you to listen to their albums fully because wow each one is an experience. The level and quality of the production is insane for their music.
They have such a rich storyline within their music videos and albums it's quite beautiful. One of the things ATINY (their fandom, pronounced AY-TEENIE) is very proud of is how self made they are as artists. They were the very first artists in their label, KQ, a very small company with limited resources, and ATEEZ essentially built up KQ to what it is now. Hongjoong, their leader and main rapper, has produced many songs. These boys are so talented and this group in particular are very well known and praised for their performances and stage presence. I have never seen a group that captivates and shows such emotion like ATEEZ does when they perform.
These boys have also spoken up a lot about inclusivity and equality and always aim to spread a positive message and that makes me really proud as an ATINY. I'm so excited to go through the journey of exploring ATEEZ's music with you, they really never do disappoint.
If you made it all the way here, this link is the very first piece of content ATEEZ ever put out into the world, a pre-debut dance cover where they really showcase their energy, their flavor and personality. For a lot of ATINY, myself included, this was their introduction to ATEEZ and it holds a special place in the fandom. I think it would be nice to see you check it out!

If you’re a story/lore enjoyer, Ateez is definitely the group for you!! Long long comment ahead I promise I tried to summarize 😭😭
Now for a summary; skip for MV summaries!!
Ateez are a group of 8 boys, who have met eachother at their times of looking for purpose, become close creating an inseparable bond, and work together in becoming one and finding and fulfilling their dreams. Due to outward things, they split. One night, Hongjoong (the leader, cowboy in Bouncy/red hair in Wave, twin braids in Wonderland/ first member to rap in Guerrilla) meets a man in a fedora and black suit who looks like him, and gives him an hourglass, The Cromer, a Mayan artifact that has powers based off of the phases of the moon; during crescent you can send messages through dreams, and on a full moon you can travel to a new world. He tells him things are not how they seem, there is another world and to not give up these dreams so easily. When Hongjoong awakes, the Cromer is still there and all of the members meet up at the warehouse, uniting again.
Through turning the Cromer, the members are transferred to a world that looks almost exactly like theirs, but very different. In this world, Strictland, emotions are not permitted. Things that evoke emotions are banned by the Leader Z, such as art, music, and even things such as mirrors and windows are covered at all times. All citizens have a chip implanted that repeat a mantra “do not question yourself”, and have to go to school for 40 years. While here, Ateez loses the cromer to Android Guardians (tall powerful authoritarian beings with white masks) and seeks to find it with the help of 3 people (Grime siblings and Left Eye). When they reach the bunker where the AG stay, they find another group, that look just like Ateez, just like the fedora wearing Hongjoong that left the cromer for Hongjoong, in glass cases.
In this world, their Ateez (known as Halateez for their music video “HalaHala”) are called The Black Pirates, and are leading a movement to take down Z and open the worlds eyes to both the beauty and pain of emotions and free will. Through this, they unfortunately failed and were captured into these glass cases. HalaHongjoong tells Ateez THEY must take over the mission. Ateez is confused but agree, and that’s where we are as of right now; Ateez leading the movement of The Black Pirates to take over the corrupt government through song, mantra, and using tools such as mirrors.
There is more, such as after they transferred power, Yeosang is taken and forcefully breaks the cromer in order to save the other members of Ateez and is imprisoned himself. But thankfully, Ateez is able to find a Cromer in THEIR world, and are able to go back and save Yeosang. But for now, it’s best to leave it there for the sake of MV summaries!
MV SUMMARIES;
Guerrilla; after Ateez has saved Yeosang, taking over the responsibilities of Halateez/The Black Pirates, they are using/ and forming a plan to use Guerrilla tactics such as disguises, taking over blimps, putting up posters, throwing fliers, and hacking into multiple mainframes (the “on air” room with the TVS, the speakers on the roof, the car with hacking equipment) to break into the chips of the students/civilians while hiding and running away from officials who try to stop them. “Break that Wall with our feel, We are the Guerrillas” is the main idea here. You can see Ateez in a bunker at the end, talking with Left Eye (who survived the bunker incident, the Grime siblings did not) when a child with a uniform runs through the gate. He is wearing a Prestige Academy uniform, and is pleading for Ateez’s help because his brother has been showing emotions and has an emotion test soon; if he fails, he will be send to the bunker and disposed of. Thankfully, Ateez was planning to go there to do a mass awakening, so it’s the perfect reason to go.
Deja Vu: Deja Vu has multiple of the meeting Left eye and this “Halateez”, as well as the Yeosang breaking the cromer. When Ateez arrive in Strictland they have to approach a man named Left Eye, as he’s the only one who knows where the Android Guardian bunker is. Unfortunately, there is also a yellow gas (if you ever watch Fireworks I’m The One this is shown there) that causes hallucinations and made Left Eye very unapproachable. This is the Junk Yard scene. The warehouse scene with them being identified and the hacking is them successfully getting Left Eye’s help, and getting into the bunker. The blue light and the part with Hongjoong wearing the fedora is the Halateez/Ateez meeting moment, where Halajoong tells them it’s now time for Ateez to take over their roles. The outro scene is Yeosang, when Ateez is caught after trying to grab the cromer and Yeosang decides to break it in order to save the other members (remember, they get the cromer back from their world). If you watch Say My Name, this will explain how Yeosang is depicted since he is in a glass case in that MV.
Bouncy; Bouncy has less lore overall, similar to Wave. Their characters are split by what they’re wanted for and who they are depicted as. Most of this story is actually locked by reading the Diaries in the album. The gist is that Ateez had to split up in order to stay in hiding from the government (which is why they look a bit disjointed), and they end up successfully breaking into the school and saving the boy/awakening a large part of the students. In this case, the chili pepper is like an awakening item. Think of it like the Matrix pills, and Ateez is using these peppers to wake them up. If you know the movie Akira, it also is based on that! The shooting of the Masked Man (Android Guardian) and the scene with all of the members dancing in a white building with white uniforms and a Prestige badge is representing them successfully breaking in. The outro however, is sometimes misinterpreted. Unfortunately, Ateez wasn’t able to fully take down Z. Which is why Mingi says “so freaking persistent” and there is a Z carved out in the wanted posters. Sadly in the diaries, Z is very much alive and well, and actually punishes the principle for allowing Ateez to succeed at all. This is where we currently are in the story, and there’s so much missing from this MV that’s in the diaries alone,.
Wave; wave is actually a MV that was right around when they started showing heavy lore themes, but before they started really telling us the story. This MV is from the Treasure Series, that has a lot of debate as to where it is placed and how positive or sad it is. A few big themes are there though, such as oceans, dreams, radio signals, roads/pathways, and a big thing is Hongjoong waking up to “Open Your Eyes” (a very common phrase and is used with the Black Pirates as well) with a compass in his hand.
Wonderland; this is another Treasure Series MV, but has a lot more to cover. Ateez, who have gone through this long journey, are at “The beginning of the end” and racing to move forward. There are heavy themes of battle, the compass, time in general, failure and succeeding, waiving their flags, and this is considered a major battle against Z with the door opening and marching implements. I have a theory that this is where Halateez failed, but that’s for another day.
And I saw that inception was next so why not add a tiny summary to that one without getting too deep; Inception in literally the dream that Ateez has with the visuals of Halateez, and that’s the beginning of how this whole story happens. They’re all in beds, and their location is based off of their character diary from the first albums!
Whew! I cant believe i wrote so much, and this is me trying to summarize as much as I can. I’m actually super into the lore, and I could probably write multiple essays before I even stop, but thankfully you chose MVs that are both lore heavy and easy to explain in a linear way (as there are also themes of them being pirates! Hence the looks in wonderland esp for Hongjoong, and things like the hourglass and cromer being so important!). Didn’t mention a lot of stuff that’s important but hopefully this will explain a bit and intrigue you :D
wow thankyouuu
this guy's excitement is so contagious!!! ateez is one of my favorite groups, i can't wait to come back and watch him react to some more
Thank you for checking them out. Appreciate your honest opinion, especially for listening LISTENING, and hearing all the instruments. That's one of their strengths, apart from their choreographies and live performances.
The reason I love watching reactors is seeing that joy and awe when you first discover a group/artist. I completely loved how you fell into the BTS hole. So I’m so happy you enjoyed Ateez and I can’t wait to see you fall into their world as well ❤️
Thanks for reacting to Ateez and for appreciating their music
Ateez is one of the groups i stan due to the amount of dedication and talent they have. When you see their live performances its like you cant deny that they love what they do and out EVERY ONCE of energy they got in their body! This group is amazing and I'm so happy you are checking them out!!!
Something I always like to say is that Ateez title tracks make you want to fight people. Lmao, they always come with crazy energy and you feel like you are having a heart attack while listening to them. I seriously love ateez as they also cheer me up on bad days.
Babe, Ateez has literally the most intricately crafted, best thought-out, most detailed and most interesting story line in all of Kpop. Have fun exploring their universe and if you have questions, we Atinys are always here to help you out 😌❤️
One thing about Ateez to recommend them: they're with an independent label, rather than one of the, "Big Three."
I'm not in their fandom, but they've always seemed like a group that's trying to do something slightly different than the KPOP norm, which I like.
Yeah, their captain, Hongjoong, always been asked would you like to change your style to be liked by general public, but he always says no, he doesn't want to compromise with his art and want to do things their way
Idk what these ppl talking ab but I appreciate you for reacting to ateez, they are like the best group you’ll find. Their stage presence is like top tier and they literally have no skipable songs! And you know they’re good when you have bigger companies literally copying them 👀 #4thgenleaders
You like beat switching and innovative formats in music right? So you will love Ateez. Besides their themes and concepts are interesting to dive into.
They are into World Building with their music, so like every album adds more to the previous ones.
You can imagine their entire discography as a galaxy where there are different planets but all of them are connected. Every time Ateez releases new music our galaxy becomes larger, more detailed.
im a atiny (ateez fan) and damn this guys are so incredible!! they are amazing performes, their live vocals are insane, facial expressions on point, looore, good songs as fuck, everything!! im glad that u like and i hope see more ateez content here ❤
i am like a full time ARMY but im literally always SO IN LOVE WITH ATEEZ SONGS LIKE OH MY GOD THE TALENT IS SO AAAAAAAA love it love it listening to ATEEZ with you was so hype
the way i JUMPED when i saw ateez in the title my armytiny heart almost stopped omg. I think you might like some other songs like fireworks, thanxx, halazia, inception, etc. They also have some AMAZING b-sides and other songs too (i really love aurora, django, take me home, dont stop, mist, to name a few) Their mv's all have so much lore and connections its honestly kinda crazy and dont even get me started on their insane live stages and vocals!! i'm so happy you enjoyed them so far!
I think that this comment section for the most part has proven that ARMYs can be a chill fandom too. It’s just the bad apples that get the most attention.
ATEEZ ARE INSANELY TALENTED!! SO I’M GLAD YOU REACTED TO THEM!!!
Here’s some info about them
1) They debuted on October 2018 with the double tittle tracks “Pirate King” and “Treasure”
2) They are from KQ Entertainment, a small company who just had 10 employees when ATEEZ debuted but now they have 100 employees and even debuted another group called Xikers! So this is why you will see that the quality in old ATEEZ MV, aren’t that high budget as now!
3) They’re 8 members and their introduction is “8 MAKES 1 TEAM!” (so they’re really like family)
4) THEY HAVE A VERY STRONG DANCE SKILLS! LITERALLY THE 8 OF THEM ARE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS, they trained in LA when they were trainees and back then they were called KQ FELLAZ ( there’s 3 performances videos of it that you definitely need to check it out)
5) Their energy and stage presence is UNMATCHED! (To understand this you will have to watch dance practice, live performances and their performances in Kingdom and Immortal Songs!)
If you want to learn more about them you should react to “THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ATEEZ (2023)”
Highly recommend ‘Hala Hala’ and ‘Say My Name’!! They’re ATEEZ’s first comeback, double-title track songs that includes one w an anthem drop and the other with an ANTI-drop 😋😉
And speaking of firsts, they debuted with two title tracks as well! ‘Pirate King’ and ‘Treasure’ will be sure to give you a pleasant rap duo verses and shows that they’ve kept their anthem, epic-ness since the beginning! 🥰🥰💕
ateez is such an amazing group, genuinely NEVED disappoint with their music so i’m SO happy to see you react to them
Best Group for me. And basically they only thing keeping me still tied to kpop. They're so incredible. I love them. ❤
Honestly, their live performances make an okay song incredible and an incredible song transcendent. It’s worth it to watch some of their live performances. Soooo much better than the music videos.
Nothing screams ATEEZ more than people just getting into then and barking in confusion right along with them 🤣😭😭😭 it’s like Idk why im barking but I’m gone bark with them mfs 🤣
So glad you found Ateez they’re truly one a kind and is the group that got me into kpop. My first and last group fr
ateez are insaneee
the first group that i like literally the whole discography of and that doesnt happen with other groups at all for me
your enthusiasm is infectious!! i loved this reaction and would love to see you check out more Ateez! They're truly an amazing group. don't listen to the people being weird, it's your channel and you're obviously allowed to listen to and like whatever music you want.
That singing parrot in bouncy mv caught me off guard so bad when I watched it for the first time 😂 quite funny
Ateez are amazing performers! Watch their dance practices! Saw them live in Atlanta last year. Sob glad you reacted to them!❤️❤️
I am a BTS fan and an ATEEZ fan. Multifans exist and we live for this 🎉 thanks for checking out my other favorites!
very rare case of a first reaction being both extremely entertaining and catching so many little details!
I gotta say, I love when reactors have the ability to make me feel like I’m reacting to my favorite songs/groups for the first time and that’s exactly what this video did to me. Immediate subscribe, love the energy sm🙏 thanks for reacting to them and I’m glad you enjoyed!!
I love Ateez!! I saw them back in November and the energy was out of this world!
So... I'm an army and I'm not really interested in k-pop. I listen to a lot of different music, various genres and many artists but k-pop groups never really done it for me. I gave them a few chances, checked out a few artists and songs, some of them are fine but never got me hooked. Never checked out Ateez before either and I never had an interest in them, so I wanted to just skip this video.
However, due to hearing and reading about all the drama that happened I came here to check out rude comments that appeared here, apparently. But all I could see were positive comments from atinys (atinies?) and some armies that like Ateez as well. These comments about this group, positive and informative, made me interested in giving them a chance and so I watched the video with our lovely human Tribe Loui. Had a lot of fun, 2 of the songs are going to my playlist (Guerrilla and Deja Vu). I don't see myself diving into them but I'll definitely give them more listens on various occasions and I'm in on Loui's journey with Ateez.
So just wanted to pinpoint that all that little drama actually did something good - made me and probably a few more people interested in a new group. And what made me do this was positivity from Ateez's fans and Tribe Loui's enjoyable video.
omg that was one of the most hype videos i have ever seen ur energy is amazing loved this video and thank u for reacting to ateez
super cute funfact: wooyoung and yeosang were bighit (bts company) trainees and wooyoung left bighit (even though it's his dream company) for yeosang and told him that they would fail together and succeed together
Omgomgomg yes!!! You should definitely continue your Ateez journey they are an amazing group!!
I'm so glad you had wonderland in there that ish is a straight BANGER! Like that got me into ateez a few years ago but yeah they go HARD! Looking forward to more of them 👏🏽
Btw if you think jongho sings high in this version of wonderland there’s a symphony version where he sings about 4 steps higher. And that’s the one he does live
Moment of Transparency: If this wasn't Loui, whom I have come to truly respect and whose opinion I might not always agree with but value greatly, I wouldn't have even clicked on the video. I don't actively listen to Ateez (I legit know only 1 of their songs) but I know lots of fellow ARMY that truly enjoy their music and I am open minded enough to give them a listen. And I'm glad I did. I found a song in the handful that Loui randomly listened to that I genuinely enjoyed. And, after watching 5 MVs of these guys back to back, I can totally understand the hype: These guys are energetic and has super dynamic music-- who wouldn't enjoy that?
Thanks for sharing you reaction, Loui, as always this was super entertaining. And even if I don't seek out Ateez music on my own, I would be happy to hang out with you and listen to more of their music. What can I say? Your enthusiasm is infectious. 😉
Aw that's sweet thank you for giving them an opportunity!
And when I tell you their live performances are even better than these MVs, they sound even much better live😭
ateez are definitely one of a kind! looking forward to more videosss
I’m so glad you’re reacting to ateez! They are one of my favorites and tbh your reaction to Guerrilla reminded me of your first reaction to Hobi’s music, like a magical experience of discovering an awesome new world for the first time.
I LOVED this video, you made me feel the same excitement that I felt the first time i’ve listened to these songs. i really love your energy. Hope you’ll react again to Ateez 🫶🏻
So glad you’re open to more new and amazing music! As an army I support your journey ♥️
Army and Atiny right here SOOOOOO GLAD you're reacting to my favourite groups thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu
I got sad when it ended ooooh please do more ATEEZ! You're reactions are so entertaining and hilarious and the way you dance is just 🤣🤣 Subscribed!
ateez has a fantastic discography, awesome personalities and all their content is entertaining!! their storyline is awesome too... def check it out!
I can't thank you enough for reacting to ateez, it's been a while since I've enjoyed a reaction this much, your energy is amazing and I can see how much you enjoyed and understood ateez, in such a genuine way, I hope you can keep enjoying them and their music, they are people ❤
I subscribed to the channel, loved the video!!
YESSSS!! I was so shocked when I saw this!! I've been watching your BTS journey and ended up just watching all of your videos because you're super entertaining lol I'm so happy you checked out ATEEZ and enjoyed what you listened to so far! Ateez was the first group I checked out after only being into BTS for so long and also the reason I started my channel. I fell in love with how intense all of their songs are, with the famous big build up at the end of each one. I look forward to seeing more of your ATEEZ reactions :)
yes, they have story line.. they usually put a hint/ snippet of their next song/ story at the end of the title track MV, that's why there's part that seems not connected with the whole MV at the end of it
ATEEEEEEZZZZZ THATS A SURPRISE!!! I SAW THEM LIVE AND THEYRE INCREDIBLE ❤❤❤
damn love your energy (and the background) 😂😂 ateez definitely never disappoints man
Thanks for reacting to Ateez 😊looking forward to more Ateez reactions 😁👍
Oh my god!!! I’m so happy ur reacting to ATEEZ!!! 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
this was so fun to watch!! please continue to react to other ateez songs!!!
Explore music, have fun, make money! I’m thrilled you’re branching out and reacting to more groups.
omg thank you for discovering about ateez, the group that hyped me very much and it really means a lots to me!!
After BTS went hiatus, I began stanning Ateez & a few other groups. Needed to go experience their concerts which is no regrets at all! Happy that you chose to react to their song.^^
More ATEEZ pleasee!! I LOVE your reaction ❤❤
I am not a huge fan of their music but i can admit that they are monster performers ngl. They give their all on the stage and are a delight to watch. Ive watched their shows a coupe to times and they are so funny 😂. They seem like very nice people too! I love that you reacted to them ngl. They are a gem.
have you listened to their b-sides? /gen
@@fantasydragon93 a few of them. But you can go ahead and recommend a few more I can give it a try
Loved your reaction!
Omg i love your energy. Pls make an ateez part 2
Tribe bro you do you and I'm here for it. 💜
I love when black people discover ATEEZ lol such a vibe
I hope you enjoy your journey w them I think you’ll love them (:
I’m so glad you’re discovering Ateez! I hope you do some deep dives into them, they are absolutely top class performers even being a pretty young group, you can see how much they love what they’re doing and how much hard work they put into it. Also their group is really interesting and fun, I think most of the members being the same age and only having like two years difference between the youngest and oldest makes a pretty unique dynamic.
I hope you don’t ever feel bad about discovering new things that you enjoy, I was actually convinced to check out your channel when I saw you react to DPR Ian, I knew I could trust you to do bts justice and take them seriously after seeing you enjoy one of my other all time favourite artists.
Yey!! All thoose song are so good!! As always your energy is unmatched. I've always wanted to get into Ateez but they have so many things that i don't know were to begin. Can't wait for that journey with you.
Their performance is always amazing so i hope you can check them out.
I dont know if you still read the comments on this video but if you really wanna get into ATEEZ here a "little" guide to their lore/concept and more about the members.
I got into ateez just 4 months ago but they are already my no1 artists on every music platform. Not only because of the sound of the music but also because I feel welcomed by their lyrics (which are partly written by two members Mingi & Hongjoong) but also their personalities. They always show support to other races, sexualities and genders.
Before I start with their lore I wanna tell you some basic things. Ateez is a 8 member group under KQ Entertainment (not KO 😂). The members are Seonghwa, Hongjoong (leader/captain), yunho, yeosang, san, mingi, wooyoung & jongho. Their name ateez has two meanings. 1. a teenager who can do everything from A to Z 2. Dimension A & Dimension Z
However let's start with their story, which you already mentioned. The storyline is quite complicated so I hope you understand me even with my broken english.
Each member has their own little prestory For example Hongjoong has no family left and lives in a hut alone, yunho lost his brother due an accident, yeosang never experienced freedom, san never settled at one place bc of his parents work and jongho wanted to become a basketball player but because of an accident he can't do it anymore. So every member struggles with their own life. Next to the members there are also some other important characters.
- Halateez, the black pirates. They are versions of ateez members just in another dimension who fight their government
- android guardians. Some guardians who catch everyone who protested against the government
- left eye. An old man living at a refuse dump
- grimes siblings. Twins who also live in the dimension of halateez
- Henry Jo. Leader of an organisation called 'sciensalvar' who tries to get the cromer.
But what is the cromer? The cromer is the hourglass you saw at the end of the deja vu musicvideo. With the help of the cromer the boys are able to travel between the dimensions whenever there is a fullmoon.
One day hongjoong was dreaming of his halateez version who gave him the cromer and suddenly disappeared again. When he woke up the cromer was with him in the room. (The ateez boys had a serious fight before that happened but when he received the cromer the boys came back and the fight was forgotten) While they inspected the cromer they suddenly traveled through the dimensions. some weird creatures showed up there so the boys ran away still processing what happened. On the run, wooyoung tripped but was safed by the grimes siblings who took them to a safe spot. However the cromer got lost during their run. Later the boys find out they are in another dimension where the government is pretty strict and forbid music and art. In that dimension some group in black with fedoras who call themselves the black pirates fought against the government but got locked up. (In the Answer, Say My Name & Deja Vu mv you can see halateez and ateez together) I could now explain the whole story of what happened during their journey of saving halateez but most important is that during their mission yeosang gets locked up in on of the Glass prisons (say my name mv & ode to joy performance) and some time travel stuff happens where yunho has to witness the death of his brother again. Since guerilla now the boys are fighting against the government and before/during bouncy they were on their run each seperated into two groups.
- hongjoong & mingi joined bandits and are dealing with chili peppers
- yunho & jongho are running an illegal car repair shop and have a fake police badge
- san & wooyoung live in a truck, san an illegal boxer and wooyoung his manager
- Yeosang & Seonghwa joined a biker gang
They live like this for 6 months till they meet again and k!ll that weird white guardian thing (during bouncy, but you can also see him during the answer mv)
There is even more to explain for example the prestige school (end of guerilla & some scenes in bouncy) but we still are clueless about a lot of things. The whole story I wrote above was told by story booklets, mv scenes, their kingdom performances and comeback promotions. But we still have so much more to understand not only by the scenes we see but also their lyrics are somehow connected. My favourite commections are:
"I wanna feel alive, don't wanna stay in the dark" - cyberpunk
"I'm ready for the dark, I'm ready for this world" - this world
By the way every end scene of the mv is always spoiling the instrumental of their next titletrack/comeback.
Okay I think I wrote enough now😂 but if you need some more recommendations:
- Cyberpunk (amazing performance, dance, vocals and the song is epic)
- Answer (till now one of my fav songs and mv)
- Turbulence (if you are interested in deep lyrics and breathtaking vocals together with really good rap you should try it)
- Take Me Home (again an amazing underrated bside with a amazing performance)
- HALAZIA (honestly the only comeback till now I don't understand regarding their storyline but I love the song itself, and BEAT CHANGES)
- Wonderland Kingdom Performance (believe me even you already heard the song, the performance is next level.)
- The Real (beat changes again and my absolute favourite song together with bouncy)
This was so very enjoyable to watch. I love your energy! Thank you for checking out ATEEZ!
I almost choked at your lil wiggle dance leading into the ending scene for Bouncy. 😂
I'm new here but I will absolutely be sticking around for more Teez reactions from you. 🙏
