THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS IT !! You can hear the hum at the end with the piano, and it's a tune we have never heard before uwu ATEEZ WORLD DOMINATION
@@kmh_32 Often at the end of the last song in an album Ateez likes to put the instrumental of the next album. Like at the end of All to Action (The Wonderland album) the last track was "Beginning of the End", and it has the beginning of Answer in it with San singing the lyrics "Let's make a toast like thunder". The last track in Action To Answer (Or the Answer Album) we have "Outro: Long Journey" which has an instrumental at the end hinting at their next song as well. (It's the same instrumental and scene at the end of Answer as well actually)
Ayonix Animations oh thank you for explaining although I already knew that but I thought he/she was talking about the official instrumental of answer I got it wrong sorry...
Since Yunho confirmed it was snow in AnewZ I realized this is the first time we saw snow in their videos. And the first snow in Korean culture is very special to them. Basically, if you are with somebody special during the first snow it means you will be together for a long time. (Atiny?) Or maybe they have embraced their Yin and Yang and together they will continue their music concepts of both light and dark. And, they do like the day/night concept, Sunrise, Twilight, Promise lyrics..."I know you're afraid. At sunset and at night. Night is dark, unlike the daytime. Now when the sun goes down We go through more cold". Right or wrong, it sure is fun to theorize and it makes you look forward to the next drop. It's like a book or movie series and you can't wait for the next chapter! And has anybody else ever noticed that the "Q" in the KQ logo looks like the greek Omega symbol? Just wondering if this company loves symbolism. lol
Sorry if this is too long, but may I also share my opinion about the theory? I think the man in white at the end is just a preview what they have to conquer next. He walked into the room that was already burnt by them, refers to "1,2,3 let's burn!" and the flying ashes in empty room (means they've left the past). He holds a binocular that is already left by them. It marks a new beginning, a new journey, a new Ateez to become. Maybe they will not use "pirate" theme anymore as they've left the binocular (Treasure saga has ended). Ateez have conquered the men in black with mask, which I assume as "their passion and desire to achieve their dream". In Say My Name they wore mask because at the very beginning after the debut not many people knew them, at the end of MV the mask taken off means Ateez' hope/desire to be successful and known by many people (say their name). And now Ateez has finished their first long journey and Ateez in black showing with no mask and sit in the same scene with them in celebration, means they've passed all the sad and hard stories (this is seen in the second rap parts, all sad days have passed) and they've got the answer of their dream and desire: success and recognition. They said they're not afraid anymore as the sad stories had passed and they've become more powerful now(watch out Atinys) Perhaps Ateez' next mission is to open the mask of the white man/achieve their new goal. If they've opened it and do another celebration, it means Ateez has reached higher level of achievement. Billboard maybe, or perhaps World Domination (our loud shouthings across the world). Be ready Atinys fam bout to get bigger 😊
Just a little addition to the theory 😁 I feel like the “suicide squad” had masks in the beginning because ATEEZ didn’t want to face them, and instead hid them away. So since the masks are off in em the answer mv, that means they’ve come to accept and face their faults.
When I first saw that they were releasing another Treasure Episode with Epilogue and the name was "Action to Answer" I immediately though "Then they have to release another one called Answer to All to close the circle" just like they did with their 3 first mini albums: All to Zero, Zero to One, and One to All. I love your theory! Also, what if the snow and cold means the side of them that, after finding the treasure becomes like that: cold, like without the fire or desire they once had. Like without emotionless or without ambition.
I think in the very last scene, it's ash and not snow. It could be from the ashes after they burned it down, as they keep mentioning in the lyrics. I'm thinking it burned either because: A) the suicide squad completely took over and fulfilled their "burning" desires OR B) the 2 sides' fusion caused the burning Either ways, the fact remains that a new threat has arrived. If I had to guess, the new threat could represent society's perception perhaps? Towards the newer generation that is. Idk, just a thought haha.
HERE'S ALSO MINE The alter egos of ATEEZ is still part of them,the alteregos never left ATEEZ along their journey, and its part of their Metamorphosis as an individual and a group. TO END THIS UP. "LONG JOURNEY" AND "TREASURE" including their MVs talks about their Freedom to find their Hope and the freedom to search for dreams on this Long Journey. Their mvs is about their story as ATEEZ since from the beginning of their Journey until this day. The story about the Ateez and their alteregos represents each other as their "COMPETITORS" Yes,ATEEZ themselves.What does this mean? They only fear themselves so in order for them to achieve their dreams,they have to embrace the other part of them.The lyrics just proved everything i wrote in here and on my past theories. "THE ANSWER IS RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU" "ATEEZ IS ATEEZ" #ATEEZistheANSWER
Thank you guys. My past theories bout their concept photos are posted on my timeline on facebook "SANICA CHOI" some of them appeared on the MV even the Butterflies/Papillon theory.
Hey have you had a chance to listen to their album? Honestly the lyrics of precious seem really suspicious to me, like in the chorus yunho says "I get sucked in to another universe. Is this place a dream or reality?" (Illusion much) And everything hongjoong says during the chorus too. It really seems confusing to me. And not to mention the verses which all seem to have hidden meanings to them. I might be looking into this too much but to me it feels like dark ateez really did find the treasure and is now trying to control ateez by showing them the real treasure. Aside from all the theories i really like all the references made to their previous songs in precious, it makes it seem like this really is the last part if the treasure series and all of this is coming to an end :,(
@@rumi1379 holy shit that just opens up so many more possibilities! Like what if dark ateez is them from another dimension and the treasure destroyed them and they came to stop this ateez from suffering the same fate? Or what if the guy at the end of the mv is from another dimension entirely? Wow I'm already excited to see what they do next 😊
@@rumi1379 WAIT....doesn't that means ATEEZ might try a totally different concept for their next comeback...and it could be ATEEZ from another demensions??
Pretty solid theory! I pretty much agree. I think the new white figure symbolizes their truth that's locked away. My theory is that ATEEZ thought that finally compromising and accepting the dark ateez (suicide squad) is the Answer to success, and they are no longer afraid of them. But is it actually THE truth? (Biggest hint is Precious). I think of this because that scene has broken mirrors, snow falling and the figure himself. Broken mirrors symbolizes that one has failed to transcend the passageway between the conscious and unconscious. Failed to see the truth. Snow symbolizes transformation/new cycle, tho this time it's put in a bad way. And the figure is a tricky one but from what it looks like, he's covered himself fully with spikes and chained mask. I think it could mean that this figure is very protected and hidden. And his suit is white and I think the colour symbolizes truth, clarity, enlightment, hope.... and also coldness and barriers. Which can mean the truth can either give you hope and enlightment or it can be difficult and harsh to face. I don't think the figure is harmful because it was just lingering and inspecting the situation. White also contrasts black which is dark ateez's colour. Black and white symbolizes the colour of beginning and the end as well. Tell me what you think!
That’s not snow, it’s ashes. Lyrics are also mostly fire related. For example *1,2,3 burn* Hongjoong’s part says *Burn,burn, keep going make a fire* and another lyric says *No-one can touch us like burning flames* I think fire destroyed everything, that’s why chandelier has fallen and everything is messy and there’s ashes floating in the air. Fire means a start of something new as well as the butterfly that Wooyoung is holding. So I think all of these symbolism means a start of something new.
[My theory is that we might see a new era] I would feel that the White man is like a look to an new journey on what we will see in the next ATEEZ comeback. We might face a new story and character that will continue on. I think this MV portrays the end of the journey of the pirate/s. And its like they finished their work in finding the answer and celebrated with a burning end (1,2,3 Lets burn!). And i think those were ashes rather than snow since both sides were fighting "fire with fire" to get to that treasure which is success. But we will not know until the next comeback comes. Wether we might see a new character or there is the pirate's unfinished business.
ok guys i have a photocard thingy (the one with the film and words) from my action to answer album and its in korean. I typed it out and put it into google translate and it translates to: it's the hourglass I saw in my dream Wasn't it a dream, looking at the hourglass I turned around casually Sand in the hourglass So it soars upward Started to move As this translation is from Google translate, it's probably not the exact translation, but the idea of the hourglass is definitely there. I'm putting the korean below: 꿈에서 보았던 모래시계다 꿈이 아니었나 모래시계를 살피며 무심결에 돌려보는데 모래시계 속 모래가 어래서 위로 솟구치며 이동하기 시작했다 If any of y'all know what it means, hope this would help!
i think by 'maintain this fever' you were talking about at 5:43 was referring to the next album? they just posted saying that their next album 'fever' is coming out on july 29th! lets hope this gives us more answers atiny
I think I might have an idea of what the masked man represents, cuz ATEEZ ‘found themselves’/compromised with ‘the Suicide Squad’ and are striving for success I think the man is a representation of Media/netizens because Korea is a very hard market to achieve success so it would make sense that ATEEZ would need to attain some sort of immunity to controversy, scandals etc. so if the two ATEEZ’s compromised then the next thing would be to stray from the norms of society in order to become they own people. I might of explained it badly but Yh I tried lol...
The Japanese mv on the other hand has really suspicious scenes like Yunho smiling slyly, showing contrasting expressions and San being scared of him, facing him Edit: Today's vlive party had them categorize their songs based on corresponding alteregoes too... White, black and normal Ateez
Thank you for explaining what I've been stores inside my heads that I having a difficult time on how to tell people about it 😂 plus the answer clearly there since beginning and I already know the answer since I did some research based on their Mvs and Lyrics from Pirate King to the end and you did a great job on concluding it into a great words that I have been troubling just to make it sense since lots of people doesn't get the answer yet 😭 truly bless youuuu
"Answer to All" I firmly believe that this actually will be the title, because everything will connect together in the end. And it would be ironic because either Ateez gets the answer to all their questions, or we don't get the answer to all, just like Answer was really Question LMFAO
I love coming back to watch your theory videos.❤❤.. I'm wondering if the snow is actually ashes. Sometimes ashes can look like snow at a disturbance or in a different view. Like a prelude to inception and fireworks, as the two deal with fire.
1:36 The part where Jongho is standing gave me strong Wonderland Vibes, this might not be useful but it kinda reminded me of the Coraline Movie by Tim Burton
I don't know why no one realized this or even talked about it I know I'm abit late but let me just say the monocular that the man in the end of the mv is holding isn't just the one that minging is holding in his part in "answer" he also was holding it in "illusion" in his rap part I just wanted to say that
Thank you so much!! ☺️ inception and thanxx are already up! :D if you go on the Video section of my channel you’ll find a theory about the Diary Film too!
In my opinion they just finished their pirate era with this MV, they left behind the monocular which might symbolize that. They've already found their treasures, the success, so the new album might have a different concept. I think the recent things they've posted, Hongjoongs cover and Mars ASMR might be related to the new era, cuz these boys love to lowkey leave spoilers without our noticing and playing with our heads. :D Maybe the upcoming comeback is gonna have a royal or similar concept. Even the place they are in this MV looks like a mansion so it would make sense. I cant wait to see what they have in store for us. Anyways, I love how complex their storyline is, keeps me on the edge. STAN ATEEZ ❤️
I'm here trying to learn about ATEEZ and their music; I want to know what it's all about. Honestly, these explanations/theories seriously have me figuratively on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. I'm not an ATINY, and I can't even put their names to their faces yet or even remember all of their names (it's been less than a day), but I want them to be able to reach a point where they can be happy with who they are. I'm not sure if the suicide squad represents fame and success going to one's head, changing a person in a bad way or if it's simply the side of them that contains fear, questions and uncertainty, but whatever the case, I want to see them overcome it and be happy with who they become. Perhaps I'm taking this a little too seriously, but I don't see why they'd go through the trouble of making these if it were not true. There are of course struggles that come with trying achieve one's dreams. (I'm an ARMY, so here I am indirectly advocating for self love 😅 ) P.S. I haven't watched the other theory videos yet, so I don't quite have the full story. And I haven't watched the MVs yet, but I will once I get a general idea of the meaning behind them so that I'm not making any assumptions right off the bat.
your theories kill me every time, they make so much sense but now after watching Ateez twitter blue room, I'm more confused ahhh....Ateez has a more complicated story than BTS if I may say so hahaha heeeeellppp
I feel like the man at the end was always there. Like a third party nobody anticipated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he appeared to be kinda grey. The 'suicide squad' is black, and in the trailer, Ateez was in white. Maybe this is a stretch, but what if he was kinda like waiting in the wings for the 'suicide squad' and Ateez to cancel each other out so he could take over, and now that the suicide squad and Ateez have kinda compromised, he's gonna join in. Idk maybe I'm reading to much into things but I do think it's a strong possibility.
Have you looked into pirate captain Henry Avery? I played the videogame Uncharted 4 and it's about finding Henry Avery's treasure. I don't know the real story, but from what i can remember of the game, Henry is a pirate that convinced multiple other pirates to form an alliance with him. Together they become rich, find allot of treasure (success) and they also find this type of island/country, where they build some kind of dream city (Illusion/Wave/Wonderland). This land becomes their home/secret base. But one day Henry betrays all the other pirates by inviting them to dinner where Henry makes a toast. However the wine had poison in it that killed all the other pirates, allowing Henry to get away with all the treasure. The table in the Answer MV looks allot like the table where Henry and the others made the toast (and where the others were killed by the poisonous wine). And the fact that there's a single man standing in ash/snow at both the beginning and the end of the MV (I think it's ash, refering to the hot/fire/suicide squad related lyrics), it would make some sense if this person represented Henry Avery, since Henry formed the alliance/was the leader, and also ended up getting away with all the treasure after betraying the rest (thus appearing both at the beginning and end of the MV). How this fits in with the rest of your theory....idk. It does fit the pirate theme though. Maybe the suicide squad side took over and caused one of them (Henry) to become too greedy? Also this is based off the videogame's story. But he is a real historical figure. Maybe the 'answer' lies in his history/story. For the rest, great theory! I think you nailed it with the identity part.
Also that's a super summarized version. Henry actually also had a partner from the start with whom he shared all the treasure with after the others were killed. But then those two also turned on each other and in the end only one survived and got away with all the treasure (I don't remember which one of the two anymore though). Maybe the next part will focus on that conflict? Also another interesting little detail is that (according to Wikipedia) Henry was dubbed 'The King Of Pirates'. The "Will you be my friend" lyric in Pirate King perhaps refers to Henry asking the other pirate captains to join him. Also Hongjoong and Wooyoung are the ones who say these lines, maybe Hongjoong (leader) is Henry and Wooyoung is his partner (I don't remember his name).
Also I think that the snow at the end is actually ashes. Why? Well, the lyrics are about burning everything up, and I think that this is the aftermath, everything is destroyed and covered in ashes.
But do you know that there is a book called "Pirate king" that the action is happening in Marocco (the country that they filmed Pirate king and Treausure)! I feel like there are a lot of stuff that we didn't pick up since their lyrics are like poems too!
I know this may sound kinda weird, but did they ever get out of the room in Say My Name? I mean, this room in answer totally reminds me of the room of Say My Name. What if they couldn't get out of this room until now? What if all the things they experienced were different kind of illusions and dreams inside the fog that has been surrounding them? Maybe they needed the suicide squad to wake them up,like with the open your eyes in Illusion. And maybe the overly ambitious suicide squad needs light Ateez to not kill themselfs, while overworking and burning themselfs to the ground.
I can’t fucking breathe right. But I remember when I was anticipating the comeback so hard and for the theory to come out. I was hyperventilating and shit :’) n e wHoO 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I don't know if this is actually related.. but the shot of the two glasses in 5:23 where Ateez and the suicide squad compromise looks sus. One side has foam the other doesn't ( it's a clear difference).. i don't think its a coincidence. The fight clearly didn't end an it wasn't a happy ending because Ateez didn't actually compromise with the suicide squad. They choose a different yet similar drink to deceive the Suicide squad. Or am I reading too much into it XD
What if the suicide squad has defeated real ateez and they are begging us to call them so we can wake them up again (as you said in another video, if they're awake their dark side stays away)
All these theories were sooooo good... but Ateez in a recent interview with Billboard spoiled about having multiple universes 😐 So... now it has gotten more confused 🤷🏻♀️
Don't they also celebrate they accepted themselves and there bad sites. And the ones that look into the mirror....are there connections between them and if not.. has evreybody looked into a mirror before? san did. The others as well? I have to watch the MVs again. And the flames could unite red and blue as you see them in fire and red and blue has always been a part of Ateez's concept like evil and good.

That’s not snow, it’s ashes. Lyrics are also mostly fire related.

Fire means a start of something new as well as the butterfly that Wooyoung is holding. So I think all of these symbolism means a start of something new.
[My theory is that we might see a new era]
I would feel that the White man is like a look to an new journey on what we will see in the next ATEEZ comeback. We might face a new story and character that will continue on.
I think this MV portrays the end of the journey of the pirate/s. And its like they finished their work in finding the answer and celebrated with a burning end (1,2,3 Lets burn!). And i think those were ashes rather than snow since both sides were fighting "fire with fire" to get to that treasure which is success.
But we will not know until the next comeback comes. Wether we might see a new character or there is the pirate's unfinished business.

If any of y'all know what it means, hope this would help!
Omg... In the recent Cresent atiny online party... The hourglass was turned and the sand went upwards instead of going down
i think by 'maintain this fever' you were talking about at 5:43 was referring to the next album? they just posted saying that their next album 'fever' is coming out on july 29th! lets hope this gives us more answers atiny
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
Thank you for sharing your fascinating and well-researched theories.
Thank you for this video...there were things that noticed but you pointed out alot of things I didn't notice and probably wouldn't!!!
OMFG, GIRL, I LOVE YOU, I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO!!!
Thanks so much for explaining it!!!
Thank you! I have been waiting for this!
I think I might have an idea of what the masked man represents, cuz ATEEZ ‘found themselves’/compromised with ‘the Suicide Squad’ and are striving for success I think the man is a representation of Media/netizens because Korea is a very hard market to achieve success so it would make sense that ATEEZ would need to attain some sort of immunity to controversy, scandals etc. so if the two ATEEZ’s compromised then the next thing would be to stray from the norms of society in order to become they own people.
I might of explained it badly but Yh I tried lol...
The Japanese mv on the other hand has really suspicious scenes like Yunho smiling slyly, showing contrasting expressions and San being scared of him, facing him
Edit: Today's vlive party had them categorize their songs based on corresponding alteregoes too... White, black and normal Ateez
@spottedbreze, there's a Japanese mv of answer
Why did I get goosebumps?
Thank you for this!!
what a brilliant analysis!!!
i was waiting for you
Omg you made another one! XDdddddddd
This is awesome 😲
I feel like the universe is teasing you what with the whole comeback stage lol
good video as always, I love your accent
Thank you for explaining what I've been stores inside my heads that I having a difficult time on how to tell people about it 😂 plus the answer clearly there since beginning and I already know the answer since I did some research based on their Mvs and Lyrics from Pirate King to the end and you did a great job on concluding it into a great words that I have been troubling just to make it sense since lots of people doesn't get the answer yet 😭 truly bless youuuu
I just joined this fandom and they already have theories and a storyline im so behind 😭😭😭
OMGG THANK U SO MUCH I NEED THISSS!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Answer to All" I firmly believe that this actually will be the title, because everything will connect together in the end. And it would be ironic because either Ateez gets the answer to all their questions, or we don't get the answer to all, just like Answer was really Question LMFAO
I was waiting for this 😖😊🤩
yo i have goosebumps right now😳
The best ANSWER theory!
I love coming back to watch your theory videos.❤❤..
I'm wondering if the snow is actually ashes. Sometimes ashes can look like snow at a disturbance or in a different view. Like a prelude to inception and fireworks, as the two deal with fire.
En la escena del final hay siete sillas de las cuales cuatro están botadas y tres están bien puestas más el enmascarado...🤔
Tbh Outro: Long Journey sounded much more like a trailer for a movie (or the next album) than a finale.
"Maintain this fever" eye--- they been hinting the album's name!!! whattt?
Loved it
Wow this is more deep than I thought Jesus!
1:36 The part where Jongho is standing gave me strong Wonderland Vibes, this might not be useful but it kinda reminded me of the Coraline Movie by Tim Burton
the two sides coming together also reminds me of tales of earthsea
I don't know why no one realized this or even talked about it I know I'm abit late but let me just say the monocular that the man in the end of the mv is holding isn't just the one that minging is holding in his part in "answer" he also was holding it in "illusion" in his rap part I just wanted to say that
Mingi I mean sorry autocorrect shit
please make one for inception and thanxx ur videos are so nice and upto the point
thanks once again
Thank you so much!! ☺️ inception and thanxx are already up! :D if you go on the Video section of my channel you’ll find a theory about the Diary Film too!
@@bookishtheories thanks sorry i just checked it out but again u r so hardworking and inspiration for dumb atinys :)
Hahaha your Voice is really Cute 😂❤️
And the new comeback aka Fever is when the ice ateez meets dark ateez and the war beguns? :0
This is the best theory i ever come to 👍
In my opinion they just finished their pirate era with this MV, they left behind the monocular which might symbolize that. They've already found their treasures, the success, so the new album might have a different concept.
I think the recent things they've posted, Hongjoongs cover and Mars ASMR might be related to the new era, cuz these boys love to lowkey leave spoilers without our noticing and playing with our heads. :D Maybe the upcoming comeback is gonna have a royal or similar concept. Even the place they are in this MV looks like a mansion so it would make sense. I cant wait to see what they have in store for us.
Anyways, I love how complex their storyline is, keeps me on the edge.
STAN ATEEZ ❤️
"Yeosang celebrates the fact that he has lines"
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in a explanation video-
Maybe theyr treasure is to be sucess and to find their truly themselves
But who else went to go watch all the MV's start to finish after watching this...just me..? 😭✋
I'm screaming with Nazaré Tedesco meme in the beginning of my video
I'm here trying to learn about ATEEZ and their music; I want to know what it's all about. Honestly, these explanations/theories seriously have me figuratively on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. I'm not an ATINY, and I can't even put their names to their faces yet or even remember all of their names (it's been less than a day), but I want them to be able to reach a point where they can be happy with who they are. I'm not sure if the suicide squad represents fame and success going to one's head, changing a person in a bad way or if it's simply the side of them that contains fear, questions and uncertainty, but whatever the case, I want to see them overcome it and be happy with who they become. Perhaps I'm taking this a little too seriously, but I don't see why they'd go through the trouble of making these if it were not true. There are of course struggles that come with trying achieve one's dreams.
(I'm an ARMY, so here I am indirectly advocating for self love 😅 )
P.S. I haven't watched the other theory videos yet, so I don't quite have the full story. And I haven't watched the MVs yet, but I will once I get a general idea of the meaning behind them so that I'm not making any assumptions right off the bat.
your theories kill me every time, they make so much sense but now after watching Ateez twitter blue room, I'm more confused ahhh....Ateez has a more complicated story than BTS if I may say so hahaha heeeeellppp
I feel like the man at the end was always there. Like a third party nobody anticipated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he appeared to be kinda grey. The 'suicide squad' is black, and in the trailer, Ateez was in white. Maybe this is a stretch, but what if he was kinda like waiting in the wings for the 'suicide squad' and Ateez to cancel each other out so he could take over, and now that the suicide squad and Ateez have kinda compromised, he's gonna join in. Idk maybe I'm reading to much into things but I do think it's a strong possibility.
Have you looked into pirate captain Henry Avery? I played the videogame Uncharted 4 and it's about finding Henry Avery's treasure. I don't know the real story, but from what i can remember of the game, Henry is a pirate that convinced multiple other pirates to form an alliance with him. Together they become rich, find allot of treasure (success) and they also find this type of island/country, where they build some kind of dream city (Illusion/Wave/Wonderland). This land becomes their home/secret base. But one day Henry betrays all the other pirates by inviting them to dinner where Henry makes a toast. However the wine had poison in it that killed all the other pirates, allowing Henry to get away with all the treasure. The table in the Answer MV looks allot like the table where Henry and the others made the toast (and where the others were killed by the poisonous wine). And the fact that there's a single man standing in ash/snow at both the beginning and the end of the MV (I think it's ash, refering to the hot/fire/suicide squad related lyrics), it would make some sense if this person represented Henry Avery, since Henry formed the alliance/was the leader, and also ended up getting away with all the treasure after betraying the rest (thus appearing both at the beginning and end of the MV). How this fits in with the rest of your theory....idk. It does fit the pirate theme though. Maybe the suicide squad side took over and caused one of them (Henry) to become too greedy? Also this is based off the videogame's story. But he is a real historical figure. Maybe the 'answer' lies in his history/story. For the rest, great theory! I think you nailed it with the identity part.
Also that's a super summarized version. Henry actually also had a partner from the start with whom he shared all the treasure with after the others were killed. But then those two also turned on each other and in the end only one survived and got away with all the treasure (I don't remember which one of the two anymore though). Maybe the next part will focus on that conflict? Also another interesting little detail is that (according to Wikipedia) Henry was dubbed 'The King Of Pirates'. The "Will you be my friend" lyric in Pirate King perhaps refers to Henry asking the other pirate captains to join him. Also Hongjoong and Wooyoung are the ones who say these lines, maybe Hongjoong (leader) is Henry and Wooyoung is his partner (I don't remember his name).

5:42
that scared me now knowing that their new album is called fever
Is it just me or does the tunnel (in this video it's at about 1:55) look like the portal from Coraline?
Also I think that the snow at the end is actually ashes.
Why? Well, the lyrics are about burning everything up, and I think that this is the aftermath, everything is destroyed and covered in ashes.
Btw I found some evidence and clues that Ateez’s new album could be called “Back to Zero”.
But do you know that there is a book called "Pirate king" that the action is happening in Marocco (the country that they filmed Pirate king and Treausure)! I feel like there are a lot of stuff that we didn't pick up since their lyrics are like poems too!
OMG I DIDN’T KNOW! 🤩 Thank you so much for telling me, I’ll try to find it as soon as possible! 🙏🏻💖
What about it means Mingi will have a solo on the next album? Since he's the one that holding the binocular.. 😎😎😎
DK. Fee Jongho held it too (concept photos)
I just want Ateez solos tbh
Way late but Yeo having line to celebrate 💀
thank u
I know this may sound kinda weird, but did they ever get out of the room in Say My Name? I mean, this room in answer totally reminds me of the room of Say My Name. What if they couldn't get out of this room until now? What if all the things they experienced were different kind of illusions and dreams inside the fog that has been surrounding them? Maybe they needed the suicide squad to wake them up,like with the open your eyes in Illusion. And maybe the overly ambitious suicide squad needs light Ateez to not kill themselfs, while overworking and burning themselfs to the ground.
FIRST
So fast! :D you really deserve the cookie prize! 💖🍪
Bookish Theories thank you! 💕💕
Can you make a video on which MV at the start or end part they have spoiled their next comeback
I think that's not snow, but ashes (so they already burned when the white masked man appears)
I'm so glad I found your channel. It's always fascinating to watch your videos (っ'-')╮=͟͟͞͞💌
I can’t fucking breathe right. But I remember when I was anticipating the comeback so hard and for the theory to come out. I was hyperventilating and shit :’) n e wHoO 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I don't know if this is actually related.. but the shot of the two glasses in 5:23 where Ateez and the suicide squad compromise looks sus. One side has foam the other doesn't ( it's a clear difference).. i don't think its a coincidence. The fight clearly didn't end an it wasn't a happy ending because Ateez didn't actually compromise with the suicide squad. They choose a different yet similar drink to deceive the Suicide squad. Or am I reading too much into it XD
My hand is in Painful Right now, I wrote this because I really need to know why? My hand is Writing Thousand Words this time.
I think that thing they were on is an ashtray thus the ones falling are ashes not snow.
Or maybe the last guy is the 9th member of ATEEZ?? Could be.
Welp 🙃
i just got one thing to say... that man and the bgm were creepy that it makes me wanna exit the mv immediately
Is it the same monocular from the illusion mv????
What if the suicide squad has defeated real ateez and they are begging us to call them so we can wake them up again (as you said in another video, if they're awake their dark side stays away)
LOVE IT!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤯
but who is in the mask in the end?
Ikrrrr
All these theories were sooooo good... but Ateez in a recent interview with Billboard spoiled about having multiple universes 😐 So... now it has gotten more confused 🤷🏻♀️
Isn't the snow ash?
*Hehet*
Is it snow, or is it ash?
Don't they also celebrate they accepted themselves and there bad sites.
And the ones that look into the mirror....are there connections between them and if not.. has evreybody looked into a mirror before? san did. The others as well? I have to watch the MVs again.
And the flames could unite red and blue as you see them in fire and red and blue has always been a part of Ateez's concept like evil and good.
what if the black men are their passion and desire while the white man represents the coldness or the dark side of already being at the top lol nvm
The desire of leaving everything, including that treasure...
yeah treasure might be end. but sequel who?
So nobody knows what's the deal with this lil chunk of song in the end.... I'm gonna lose my mind over it..........
I don't understand what she really said because of her accent. The pronounciation is not so clear to me. I dont understand 😭😭😭😭😭
