"It’s clear that ATEEZ have something most young groups do not: a sense of humor."
At the time it was very clear to me, now even more so
I think that the shared sense of humor is why they clicked so well with Stray Kids and BtoB in Kingdom :)
@@ashurasama I agree and if we're adding rookie's, MCND
The day when we can talk about ateez without feeling the need to bring any other group's name is the day i will know peace.
@@bhargaveehazarika8537 I was feeling the same thing . Why is it necessary to bring other groups. No one talks about Ateez in other groups comments even tho we know they deserve, but when will these people learn . Especially St*Ys.
@@jungwonbebe20_ you're absolutely right. Most of the time fandoms talk about Ateez in a very disrespectful manner especially stays so it's really annoying to see these same people bring skz name in a video complimenting ateez only to compare or whatever. Btw you're a sunoo stan? I absolutely love sunoo
I'm legitimately scared of what they're gonna do in the future to top this masterpiece if that's even possible
Isn't always like this with Ateez? XD
@@barilian yessssss, yes it is
Same thoughts.. But they always somehow manage to comeback even better
@@barilian they always somehow manage to get better every comeback. It's always their best yet, but the next one is going to be better, exceeding expectations. So just thinking about how they can outdo this for the next comeback is really scary.
They always end up doing so, like i recall wonderland era and how we all thought it was epic and then answer came long
Seonghwa told us that:
Hongjoong & Seonghwa: calligraphy club
Wooyoung & San: baseball club, Wooyoung is the Captain but San is the ace
Mingi: the transfer student
And Yeosang: is the role and symbol of peace (at the school )
So that’s why everyone was waiting for what he’d say when he showed up at the end but he was like 💃 and enabled them to continue, and so they all made peace by enjoying dance offs (my guess lmao)
And yunho and jongho are the delinquents 😭
@@kaystry_._hunny That has to be my favorite part of the storyline xD
Not the 💃💃💃 emoji
Not the 💃💃💃 emoji 💀💀
@@kaystry_._hunny motor club mayber
Yeosang his role was to bring the peace you can see when he comes out everyone started dancing together they are not battling anymore
YESS!! AND ALL THE DOVES! That represents peace. Huhu
Also he was wearing all white!
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COMEBACK WAS PERFECT!
One of the best MV this year, hell yes. We needed this, this sh*t is fire.
This was one of the funniest, craziest MVs of this year in my opinion and I came running to see PDs reaction. Personally I enjoyed it and the storyline AND the guys acting so much.
I felt they had so much freedom since the song had already released and they already know atniy love the song…. So they get to just go nuts
Anime ATEEZ was the concept I didn't know I wanted BUT NEEDED THIS WAS WAY TOO FUN! If anybody knew how to make a months old song's M/V a must watch, it's them!
Exactly this mv was just so much fun!!
TxT and Ateez are really the only one's who can pull that off!
That would be awesome
the songs lyrics are also so fitting for this album's situation. the real they performed on kingdom was actually a draft they sent in to mnet, and since they knew mnet would own the rights to it and because of the way they were treated poorly on the show, they saved this BETTER version for themselves to release as a title track and promote! its absolutely brilliant you have no idea how much i love ateez for that!
ugh their minds, absolutely kings
I wonder how their this album connects to their storyline...because they added their kingdom + old songs here..and according to eden he and ateez has planned their whole storyline and their album themes ahead so was this album a surprise??where they actually going to add these songs to the album? Even after performing them on kingdom??or did they do it solely for atiny and themselves?
@@ubu8 it's actually genius of them include all the songs from KD (well not the awakening of summer bcoz it's not theirs) bcos those songs actually related to the current storyline. Fever era - The Real - Treasure era. Some tinys thought the next new era will be pick up the story from the last mv they left, which is Answer, and the KD ver of Answer have many clues to their storyline, for example like when Hwa released Yeo from the box, it's shows in The Real mv. So, they planned it all~
@@ubu8 the real was actually recorded waaay before kingdom! one giveaway to that is that mingi was a part of the recording, which means they would have to record it from last year before he went on hiatus, and also the end of the fireworks mv with the masked man also hinted the instrumental for the real! which made atinys think that the real was gonna be released after fireworks (just like how they hinted fireworks at the end of thanxx mv) so im sure the release of the real was planned way before kingdom and now even though that they already revealed it to us during kd they still went along and released it as they intended to :D
@@ubu8 if we remember that one of the stages, "Answer : Ode to Joy" stage, they said that they performed it so it connects to the story line :D
So it heavily connected to the storyline..
Also yes they planned it way before..
So basically Ateez be spoiling the new album songs in Kingdom 🤣
they really went beyond everyone expectations, the quality and production is immaculate and THE ENERGY!! THEY ATE!!
VERY TRUE. It felt like i was watching a movie 😭😭
The fact that we see all this in like 5 minutes is INSANEEEEE only ateez can do this
about yeosang! He's the one who conducted the rest of ateez to connect and meet in this universe. in the fever.pt2 diary, he wasnt with the other 7 members bc he was assumed to be not-alive from an attack in the anti-art universe. yeosang did not exist there, but due to the cromer's reverse (he saved it at the end of the deja vu mv!) he went back in time and reversed the split of all 8 members in inception/the first diary film.
he essentially saved youth ateez from splitting up by being a different-universe yeosang conducting their meetup. there's a chance that they're hinting his presence as the white masked man w his white suit entering the scene and assimilating himself with youth-ateez.
i assume that's why the english title is "The Real", not to try and transliterate 멋, but rather to let you know that this universe is the real one. Not the events in eternal sunshine, not the dreamscape of Inception, but this... this is real!
to also add! yeosang's scenes also show how he's finally free. Free from his youthful doubt (the bird cages in the diary film) and from his captors in the anti-art universe (he is no longer in the glass cage ever since wonderland and answer)... thus the birds being free, open arms, and the bread; he was formerly a caged bird, but is not bound anymore due to the change in fate that all the members finally got together.
the feuding clubs (baseball, calligraphy, biker gang, and lone wolf) in the end just... celebrate and have fun together!!
I was thinking this about Yeosang in the white suit being the masked man! I was like woahhh wait!!!?? I still always feels confused by their storyline lol, but everything is still so well done, and so complex, and just ugh. Love this. 🥲
@@brantagonistt there are so many easter eggs and lore hints from different ateez media that i dont blame anyone for being confused!! (wooyoung said that the members dont even know whats going on sometimes) HAHAHA
I think Yeosang is like the "hidden king" of the school, who like stands above all the clubs. Pretty sure there's also a trope like that
Shadow king of Ateez High, it kind or reminds me of when everyone thought Mob was the shadow leader of Salt Middle School in Mob Psycho 100
Mingi's rap has always been in the song, only in the Kingdom live performance it wasn't cause he wasn't there, but he was in the original song
The dance break was never in the song, they just added it for Kingdom
THE PRODUCTION TEAM, MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR, VFX EDITORS, PRODUCERS, and ATEEZ did a fantastic job
thank DIGIPEDI for the mv direction and production💕😫their works are all so goodddddd
Yeosang is the symbol of peace (Seonghwa said this in universe app). You can see the doves 🕊 around him and when they about to fight he came to make them dance together.
It's incredible how they pulled this comeback in such a short time, not only the amazing mv but the concept photos and everything was so well done
ATEEZ just never disappoints ! Personally This music video is their best one yet. And omg this song is just soo good. The energy, the vibes. Just everything in general about Ateez is on another level !
Absolutely correct
You must be deaf, this is like the worst song of the year
i think something everyone can admire about Ateez is their compromise with concepts, if they do something they gonna go all the way. the definition of go big or go home
THISSS
My theory about Yeosang's role in this MV: After the chrome broke down, Yeosang got lost in dimensions(?) He stiil somewhere in school (For example, you can see him in the background, sitting in front of a window while Woosan and 2Ho recruited Mingi). And to find him, Ateez dispersed to different time periods (i think so because of Hongjoong and Seonghwa). But they couldn't find him because Mingi was not with them. When they finally got together they summoned this strange light and Yeosang was able to find them. Happy end
Part of me hopes they perform this for MAMA and just make everyone’s jaw drop. Their talent never cease to amaze me. Yeosang just illuminates “etherealness” in this video. There is just sooooo much to take in. It’s the best in every way.
Omg yes!! I hope this will be their performnce!!
They will. This song is made for a grand stage XD
I also hoped they would perform this song, and then they did!🤩
Since Kingdom I have been thinking about one thing, when it comes to Ateez.
Since BIGBANG went on hiatus, Kpop misses a group, which would have the “party atmosphere stage presense”.
Mind you, there are groups with phenomenal live stages with god-like dancers, but this is not, what I am talking about.
When BIGBANG were on stage, it wasn’t like: “We came here to show you, what the hell we are capable of”, they were like: “This is our stage, we are having fun as there is no tomorrow, we live in the moment and everything becomes ALIVE with us and you came here to watch us and enjoy that moment all together”.
And here comes my thought about Ateez.
I feel like they have this unique charm, which BIGBANG had.
Of course it depends on each performance, so I am not saying they are the same, but when it comes to The Real… OMG, THIS SONG, THIS MUSIC VIDEO, THAT PERFORMANCE FROM KINGDOM, I’m just speechless.
I totally agree with you. They also have a strong rap line & diversity among each song.
BIGBANG being my first kpop group I stan and then ATEEZ becoming my ult group! This comment relates me so much 😭❤
The way I literally just finished watching it for the first time. Mingi break dancing threw me off and it made my jaw drop for the entire ending. Literally made the same face as you because my bias came back full force this year. Then to have the apple breaking at the end was so cute. Our theory is that the masked guy in white might be Yeosang or at least his double since we see him watching himself. The setting looked like the same on they used for Fireworks especially some of the scenery you could see in the background. Loved how huge the scale and I would assume the budget looks with the outdoor scenes specifically all their "groups fighting". Also I'm really happy I didn't watch Kingdom just so this was really the first time I heard and saw the song as a whole. Thank you for another great reaction.
I felt nostalgic to pre debut Mingi when he was break dancing in KQ Fellaz 😭😭 and ur right our bias came back swinging and im so blown away
It was actually a bit different from Kingdom's performance! The kingdom performance is chaotic and fun in a different way, I think it's also worth a watch!😃
I love how much Yeosang we got in this video and how cute jongho is during his ending part 😭
Well this was the cherry on top of my top 5 K-pop comeback of this year.
I don’t know if anyone else thought it, but this mv gave me “Kung Fu Hustle” vibes. It’s one of my fave Chinese movies made by Steven chow. And the theatrics really made me want to go and watch that movie. If anyone has ever seen that movie then you would get it. Through the plot isn’t the same, it’s just the way things are done. It’s hard to explain but definitely worth a watch lol.
i was literally trying to tell this same thing when the MV released but no one could understand where I was coming from so I’m glad I’m not alone here!
It reminds me of Crows Zero, I really love this concept and the directors did such a good job
Its like kung fu hustle in a school set up
It kinda reminded me of Tokyo revengers a little bit
@@Ashcroft. THAT TOO! I’m in love with that anime 😭
Hey PD! Mingi's rap portion was in the original song since the songs for kingdom we're released officially before their kingdom stage therefore it's not added
Honestly I think you hit the nail on the head, they took everything I would have wanted for an mv for 멋, and then elevated it to a scale beyond anything I could have expected, and I love it so fucking much, I just keep watching it to find all the little details
Jang Hyuk my favorite actor ever. I love Volcano High so when I saw the MV I immediately recognized the similarities too lol
PD, explaining what 못 means: What does it mean to be real? To be a "real, honorable person"?
my black ass: …damn, ATEEZ really made a song to let everyone know they're Real Niggas and what it means to be one 😭
Seonghwa mentioned on Universe that Yeosang is the peace maker. He’s the uniting point.
Huh, if YS is the peacemaker, then who's the villian???
I remember one of the member said they're gonna reveal the villain in FEVER series???
@@julycat2650 The villain is who chased Yeosang and forced him to break the chromer to save the rest of the members.
@@samminicksm That means...
We still don't know who's the villain after all!!!!!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
AAAAAARRGGGHHHH!!!!!
I GOT FOOLED BY ATEEZ & KQ AGAIIN!!!!
There's something to be said about gunning for that 80's style because the letterman jacket San is wearing has all of the MLB logos, and the Padres logo is the colors from 1985
THE QUALITY OF THE MV WAS GOOD WOWWW
This is honestly my favorite Ateez Music Video, and the fact that it was produced by Digipedi just proves why.
In the calligraphy club scenes there are also "BE POLITE" and "RESPECT" in English, along with a word that ends in ESS that I couldn't read in entirety, but might infer would be "KINDNESS" since it's a song lyric. I might guess that "HUMBLE" is somewhere in there, too.
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! I saw it was going to be directed by digipedi and knew I needed to see your reaction! It's such a good mv!!!!
it's interesting to hear that this mv is inspired by said movie. i didn't realise they're clubs trying to recruit new boy mingi..
also yeosang said earler his role in this mv storyline is a "peacemaker". you can see before yeosang showed up they were all separated in small groups battling each other, but after yeosang showed up, they were all dancing and having THE REAL fun together
the pure look of joy on pd’s face while watching this music video brings me life, and honestly when you think about it properly ateez has had such an amazing year, they have been working so hard and to end it with such a bang felt appropriate for them, i’m honestly not sure how they are going to top such an amazing series like the fever series but i also wouldn’t put it past them
thank you so much for your reaction!!! i knew there were things i was missing about the mv and song since i am not korean, so i really wanted to watch a korean person explaining them. thank you for making it clearer for me! i love the song and mv now even more, the energy is unmatched. it's so good!!! i can't stop watching it.
idk why but whenever pd likes the song/mv of the group i stan, i feel validated as a fan lol
This was a movie and a masterpiece
Speaking as a Non-Korean here, the reason why I love this so much is BECAUSE its so rooted in Korea. There's something special in releasing music related to the artist's own identity, cultural - what they grew up with. The track feels more personal and meaningful imo, making it that much better.
Using this song for the comeback makes so much sense. Like PD said the MV needs to one up the amazing kingdom performance and it did. But also the dance breaks and the huge scale is so perfect for award season
The MV is so entertaining I love it so much and it's so fun, absolutely amazing. Mingi's parts are insane, Ateez really never disappoints
That’s right PD 11/10 MV rating DESERVED! In love with the scale and story of the MV. It really blew me away and it’s now probably one of my favorite kpop mvs ever. Just wow.
There’s this Japanese movie called HIGH&LOW. The aesthetics and the gangs were really similar to that movie too it was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the mv. They did an amazing job!
P.s still stuck with yeosang and his bread part😂
Yesss the first thing that I thought of
Ooh Atinys said Crows Zero, was that before this one or after?
@@vanessarl8 High&Low and Crows Zero are in the same universe actually so...yeah. School gangs.
@@innoutt8351Thanks!
화산고 (volcano high-2001) Crows zero(2007)
story lines from 화산고 + style of camera working from CROWS ZERO
BREAD is metaphor. Cuz 식빵(bread) sounds like.....XX
I love how they just added the hilarious ending of them messing around
When you mentioned the “grande scale” of the MV. I immediately thought of the background for Block B’s “Shall we Dance”, not that it can be compared to this video. I love everything about this video and I totally agree with you and respect your opinions. This MV really is the cherry on the cake!!
Mingi has always been in the song, in the original, only in the Kingdom live performance he wasn't cause he was absent. Also the dance break wasa never in the original song, they just added it for Kingdom's live performance. I think you've heard only the Kingdom's live version.
The boys said that in the video Mingi is a new tranfer student and Yeosang is the piece defenition.
The members explained on Universe PM that Mingi indeed is a new student, and Yeosang symbolises peace...
I guess it makes sense looking at the last secenes where they're about to fight, but realize that they can work and have fun together. Yeosang sees this, smiles and then appears dressed in white (the color of peace).
Seonghwa said that Yeosang is a symbol of peace in this MV ! That's his role, the white doves are a big clue.
I think Hongjoong and Seonghwa generically represent scholars. If you think about the three most common groups at schools, there are the jocks (represented by San & WY), the academics (represented by HJ & SH), and those who consider themselves too cool for school (in the American sense) which could be musicians, racers or here bikers (represented by YH & JH). At first Yeosang reminded me of the rich kid, living in his own world, but I think he's more the wise kid who understood what 멋 was from the beginning which is why he's revered when everyone else finally gets caught up (comes together)--he was himself the entire time.
It was such a cinematic masterpiece.
love how they gave Yeosang and Mingi their time to shine
Your smile says it all!
just fyi… 興in Chinese can also be used as mood or desire to do sth.; interest; excitement. which fits the MV… it is most definitely a MV filled with excitement 😄
I love coming to your channel and binge watching all your videos when I'm so down and drained. It helps calm me down and feel less anxious. You're seriously my comfort channel and I'm sure a lot of people can relate
Yes Volcano High---that's exactly what the mv reminded me of XD
I REALLY enjoyed dissecting this song and music video with you PD! ATEEZ never fail to show how talented and special they are and I'm always here for it. Loved the vid!!!!
Just 4th Gen leader things
These boys never cease to amaze me.
The MV gave me Gokusen vibes - and I love it! I love that their humour showed in this too, everything was perfection!
This was my fave song out of all the kingdom final stages and the music video and new version didn't disappoint 🔥🔥🔥
they went off and gave the biggest bomb in the end of the year eyy ateez best boys
A lot of ATINYs in twt also made the connection to Volcano High. For me it gave me anime vibes (Gokusen and GTO). ;)
Yeah i love those anthem songs with those incrdible big scaled mvs such as thanxx, with the many cars and even the party bus or fireworks with the many back up dancers and the fireworks in an quarry or an example which is kinda similar, stray kids back door, where they also have those 100 people in the background dancing inside of that big mall. I think those mvs just make an song even more powerful than it already is and the real was an perfect example of it. I would love to see more mvs like that :D
I've watched a few reaction videos and so far every reactor has mentioned a different drama/movie that this MV reminds them of 🤣
The Real is masterpiece😭
I hope they keep “the real” as the last song of the concert forever. It such a good way to end a concert!
This is what I consider to be their best song and one of THE best songs in kpop ever. I wasn't even rooting for them to win in Kingdom and I still hands down think this is the best performance of the entire show. As a non-Korean who enjoys Korean culture I can still appreciate the unique Korean-ness of it and this video really helped me understand it even more. I had the song on repeat and now the music video too, it's just absolutely insane I don't know how they managed to make something this amazing it really does blow my mind
I swear I almost cried by the cinematography and performance, this is sooo coool
4:26 I can't help but think Mingi's rap was always meant to be there but since he was on hiatus they just did a dance break until he was ready to come back
his rap is actually in the original studio release! it’s just not in their kingdom stage since he wasn’t there to perform it live
actually, what i thought was really cool, was the original audio that was pre released to the finale included mingi. in the finale itself, i think hongjoong had “two” rap portions, and it was unique from mingi’s
What they actually added is the traditional music into the instrumental. I kinda wanna see them perform this in hanbok tho they would look so good in that.
THIS CB IS AMAZING!!
The humor, the aesthetic, the video, the vibes...only ateez can pull it off so immaculately
There actually was a similar English concept--chivalry. Because it has more than one definition, most people think of the knightly system in fuedal times, or the concept of a man being kind to a woman on a date like opening doors, but it also means: "the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak." We should bring it back.
They actually changed the song for Kingdom. Mingi's rap part was always there but bc he wasn't active during kingdom they made the break dance
PD I had to go watch volcano high after you mentioned it and it really is batshit nuts lol! Also why did all the highschoolers look 30-40 years old??
Hahahaha I have no idea!
I think I figured out who Yoesang is supposed to represent, what about like a teacher, professor, almost like a principal like he’s walking and he’s eyeing all these warring factions and in the end he joins them. Like notice in the scene in the construction scene he’s walking down the middle of these students who are watching him Like someone with authority, like you would if it was a principal walking through a crowd of students.
the thumbnail is amazing bro
non-korean fan HERE: i loved the concept and loved every moment of the MV and the song
Awesome song, awesome mv, awesome reactions. Ateez are leaders of the 4th generation. Love them
I had the same feeling about the mv when I first saw it. It gave me vibes of an old high school fighting type movie
I don't need a coffee to have energy, I need this song.
It was just the kingdom stage that has the dance break. Mingi was in the studio version.
DEJA VU'S ENDING!! YEOSANGG!!!
THIS MV IS SO GOOOOD!! THE REAL IS A MASTERPIECE
Hi PD! Thank you so much for filming this analysis, I’m very happy to know you were a fan of this cb :) it’s actually very much likely that Ateez took elements from the movie Volcano High as it’s not uncommon for them to reference famous films in their mvs - we got inception, we got eternal sunshine, pirates of the carribean, and I’m pretty sure they referenced Peter Pan too at some point (can’t quite remember where and when tho).
I also think it would make sense because the references in here, as you stressed out multiple times in the video, are deeply connected to South Korean culture, and I believe the whole concept of Kingdom had something to do with promoting and showcasing Korean culture (anyone please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on this). So I think it would make sense for them to do such a thing :) it was perfectly well done, I love love loveeee this version of The Real and the MV is brilliant and perfectly executed. I actually feel quite confident in saying it’s the best music video I’ve seen this year together with txt’s “0x1=lovesong”! I’m really curious to see how they’re gonna plan to top this 😌
Amazing review as always. Can I just say that it makes me a little emotional sometimes to go to your channel page and see your LA Forum concert with Ateez recording on the main part? It just reminds me every time how you saw something so special in them so early and how your earnestness really got a lot of other people interested, too.
I really learn something new every time I watch one of your reactions. Nice job as always and I hope that life is treating you well.
Loved this reaction, this MV was everything we needed! I saw on Twitter that the book Mingi is reading is about morality, so it's like their morals and beliefs are what's protecting them and making them strong; that aside, this song was teased at the end of Fireworks and first released for Kingdom's finale and appeared at the end of Eternal Sunshine too, and this version seems to have added traditional instruments in the instrumental! Yeosang was trapped somewhere else and instead of normal nice yeosang coming back, hala yeosang came and he’s pretending to be normal yeosang, he also symbolizes peace here that’s why when he came they stopped fighting and started dancing together that also explains the bread thing because birds eat bread and they symbolize peace wow i said yeosang so many times but yeah i hope that makes sense. THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL REACTION AND KISSES FROM BRAZIL.👏👏💋💋💋🎽
yeosang is like what brought them all together. they all started dancing as one only when yeosang joined them, like, 'ya'll should stop this nonsense of trying to form sub-groups when we could all be together'.
Man i love Ateez, they are so perfect. And i love PDs reaction on them so much too, because he really understands them. It almost feels like PD also gets the assignment that Kq gives to Ateez members before a comeback so they would know what is this cb is all about. Marvelous
I am getting into Ateez more and more. I only wish their company gives these kings better styling....This looks like a high-budget music video yet somehow it looks inexpensive...
My favorite comeback so far, this album is pure art and I really love how they show us korean culture but in a different way, the production, dance, everything was so good.
The first thought that came to my mind when I watched this mv for the first time was "this is very Korean, and I don't have enough knowledge or experience to understand and appreciate this song and mv to it's fullest". Nevertheless I'm absolutely in love with this comeback. I haven't seen the Kingdom, so for this was a new song. It's a banger. I believe it's my favorite ATEEZ title track and mv now.
PD, I notice you wear orange(?) glasses in your vids a lot (or black too). How can u see the MV colours correctly with them? (Sry I'm new to the channel). Also I like your MV breakdowns. You point out things that let me appreciate these songs more.
I've also seen someone talk about how it seemed to take some elements from High&Low.
And concerning Yeosang's role, Seonghwa said that Yeosang was a symbol of peace, I won't be able to elaborate on it though lol
The first dance break wasnt there originally, actually. It was always Mingis part but they had to change it for Kingdom because Mingi wasnt there. If you serach for the official Kingdom audio of The Real, Mingis Rap is in there
Looks: Ateez review, 32 min.
Me: oh, this gona be good.
YEOSANG REPRESENT PEACE. It’s talked about on Twitter that he’s also the BIRD! That’s why he has the toast/bread. He represents the bird of peace. In this video he was finally free which is why the birds are flying. In the story he wasn’t accepted doing music and dancing within the fever era, but now he’s free and willing to do what he loves. It truly makes more sense now and it’s thanks to Twitter atiny who are going on about Yeosang’s part of the music video and Seonghwa telling us what is Yeosang’s role.
i'm not entirely sure about Yeosang's role but he seems to be the student council president or some other representative since he's also the one that intervenes when the others are fighting. Everyone's looking at him with respect and anticipation and when the song comes back in with his line they all start dancing/partying together. you mentioned the students at the end of Volcano High banding together to fight the teachers so maybe he's the one that brings them all together, hence the main character energy
Honestly this made me lose my mind. I didn't think that any title track could ever make me feel more than Answer (and mind you, Deja Vu is one of my most streamed songs of 2021) but The Real really topped it.
