@@atgnireactions5343 haha you're welcome! i know people take things personally some times and it'd be a pitty for someone to stop watching a genuine reaction because of that! can't wait to see the rest of your ATEEZ journey ❤
@@evikalaitzi4942 Well I really appreciate you taking the time to do so! And I have just checked out your Wonderland reaction! I loved it, sooooo good!!
omg the first time you said " they are not the best dancers " i was like ... He will definitely change his mind in a few minutes hahaha. In my opinion Ateez are the best performers in Kpop. Glad you liked it.
Had the same thought! The MV doesn't feature as much of the choreography immediately, so you don't get to see how amazing their dancing is until around the first chorus. But Ateez is known as one of the best groups for dance and performance in 4th gen kpop.
'This is going straight in the playlist. I may have to make a playlist just for Ateez' The most relatable statement, because i fell down the Ateez rabbit hole and now I have multiple Ateez playlists organised according to the mood I'm in at any given moment
Lol...Ateez are basically know as "THE 4th Gen PERFORMANCE KINGS"!!!(and it's not just fans that say that...choreographers, other idols both seniors and juniors all praise Ateez dancing skills) Best all round group in the kpop game!! But anyways ...Thank you so much for your reaction!! I hope you check out more Ateez 🙏
I love how the fandom always jokes about how there are no roaches in KQ Ent. because Ateez's choreo always go SO HARD and they are literally known as some of the best performers/ dancers in kpop right now. Especially San, (blue denim shirt in the Dance Practice) that man gives 200% in every dance and is known for quite literally dancing his mic off because he has so much power when he dances. Some other songs I recommend are Answer, Halazia, The Real, and Inception!
Thanxx for checking out our guys! Here hope this helps: Hongjoong (Kind of like Honk with a hard g- jewng) - Blue haired rapper (dp: Denim jacket, hat) Seonghwa (Song wah) - black hair argyle vest in elevator (dp: white shirt, black jeans) Yunho (u know) - blond at the TV screens (dp: Black beanie) Yeosang (Yo saang (hard g)) - brown hair, tunnel black, red, and white sweater (not argyle) (dp: All black, blonde hair) San (saan) - In the flowers (dp: Denim shirt, back bend guy) Mingi (ming (like a Ming vase) ee) - red haired rapper (dp: Orange hair) Wooyoung (Oo - Young (you do not pronounce the w) - guy chained up (dp: lavender hair) Jongho (like jog, but with the n added in, ho) - blue/purple sweater, high note king (dp: Guy in jacket) Fandom name: Atiny (A teeny) it is a combination of Ateez and Destiny I was about to throw hands at the dancing comment, Ateez are known for being incredibly good dancers, they essentially trained like a dance crew (facial expressions and all), and are known to have some of the most difficult and exhausting choreos in kpop (all the while being known for their live singing). They are performance monsters. Oh and San goes 200% ALWAYS! He is considered to be one of the best performers in kpop.
Nooooot a problem, absolutely glad I did! This is incredibly helpful thank you so much!! Appreciate you taking the time to be so descriptive with their name pronunciations and who they are in the MV/DP, you're amazing!! I apologize about the dance comment I retracted it during the video! Please don't throw hands! At least not at the face, its not the best face but I need it! All jokes aside they went hard! And I readily admit my initial comment was wrong... very wrong. Feel like I am going to enjoy getting to see more of San then!
I definitely recommend Guerilla and Halazia by them. They’re such good songs and have a really good choreo. Those songs always pop into my head from time to time along with superboard 😂😂
ateez as a group are know as the best dancers and performers of the 4th gen. the fact that they have a “demon line” because some of the members look possessed when they’re on stage should already speak for itself 😂
The guy that went hard on the dance practice with the blue shirt is San! He's my bias in Ateez and you can always expect amazing performances from his part. He always gives it his all, it's fascinating to watch
it was so funny watching u take back what u said about their dancing cuz i just knew it would happen lmaooo 💀 they fr are performance monsters and their stage presence is the best in 4th gen !! loved ur reaction man and pls react to their newest release "Halazia"
I literally went “HA!” loud enough to startle my husband gaming in another room at that comment. 😂 Ateez are many things, but “not great dancers”? Please 😂
There's giving 100% and then there's Choi San. Haha Thanks for giving ATEEZ a chance. I knew you would be apologising for the first comment about their dancing. Glad you watched the dance practise too and recognised that they are super talented. Enjoy your journey getting to know them.
Ateez are insane performers, I really hope you'll get to see them live because even if you don't know them well it's been said their concerts are life-changing :) Fun fact, if you still remember the lyrics - their first tour of last year was called The Fellowship: Beginning of the End and the current one (they finished their North American leg last month and are coming to Europe next month) is called The Fellowship: Break The Wall. Their lyrics are quite consistent in general, there are themes that come up, songs reference older songs - it really helps to have the same people responsible for all of their music instead of getting songs from a catalogue like most of kpop groups. For example, this is how the song My Way from their debut album starts: "Finally we begin / It's been a long road so far / It's too early to say you've done a good job / If the beginning is just half way, I'm here for the good life / I'm on my way, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of the other half till the end". Their whole first album series, Treasure, was heavy on establishing their pirate concept and quite a lot of songs talk about starting the journey and looking for the (metaphorical) treasure, banding together, facing obstacles, being unstoppable in the face of hardships. In therms of the storyline that's happening in their MVs and albums they are still a bit earlier on, currently inciting a revolution in a dystopian dimension together with their darker counterparts (that's who you saw in the Wonderland MV). I wouldn't worry about their story and interpreting the MVs too much yet though, it's quite a lot of material and a lot of it is purposefully unclear yet (Hongjoong said it would be no fun if they just explained everything, they like us guessing, arguing, putting in the effort to decode clues and put together the puzzle pieces they give us). if you're worried about the pronunciation of their names they introduce themselves very clearly in the beginning of this interview ua-cam.com/video/640pudDoRD4/v-deo.html (it might help you tell them apart if you watched it, it's from last month and they reply to "personalised" questions one after the other, quite extensively). And lastly, as a treat bc of your comments about dance, this is a special dance stage that I suspect they made just to be able to show off (every concert fancam of it from their first tour is absolute gold, no matter the quality but this is from an online concert a bit later on) ua-cam.com/video/hWyObDDWqPI/v-deo.html
lmao the way I knew you would immediately take back what you said. Ateez are literally the best performers in kpop rn. Their choreographies are hard asf. I watch and join a lot of kpop random dances and I tell you no one dances to ateez except the confident ones and best dancers. what others do instead is sing the song. Like no one dares to dance and just shows how hard they're. I maybes bias to say this but ateez has no bad song. They have everything. and did you notice the shanty vibes in this song. it's because surprise surprise ateez are pirates. They have an insane storyline. the guy in the blue you pointed out was San. "The man who will change the standards of kpop" what journalists said abt him. All in all I hope you will enjoy your voyage into ateez. They're one of the most genuine and hard working ppl I know. They give everything in whatever they do. From facial expression, hard choreographies, high notes they got it.
This was a fun reaction! That jump from ‘not the best dancers’ to ‘I take everything back’ had me cackling 😭 ATEEZ are well known both in and outside Korea as a top performing group and its a very well-earned title! Subbed and excited to watch your ATEEZ journey, their live performances are quite literally insane.
"To see this live must be insane" SIR YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Just saw them in Canada, best concert of my life. I got covid there, still worth it. They're playing O2 arena in London Feb 22 ;)
I hope you're ok! Please stay healthy and look after yourself! But... I am glad you had such a great time!! And I know... might have bought a ticket Monday once someone else mentioned it XDDD
Ateez will ALWAYS give performance level energy to their dance practices, in fact, you will never see an Ateez dance practice without the signature camera shake😂 THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES! I highly recommend watching a live stage from them :)
i didn't get mad when you said that about their performance because I KNEW IT that you gonna regret it 🤣 ateez is truly one of the best groups when it comes to dance and coreo
I can confirm seeing wonderland live is insane 😂 If you can, I would definitely suggest watching a live performance of any of their songs. Their stage presence is incomparable to other groups.
Leez is no longer part of either team. He left to be the exclusive, head producer for another company. Leez will likely still get Ateez credits for another comeback or two given how far ahead Ateez plan.
Ateez and Stray Kids are both amazing groups (I love them both) - definitely different styles and approach to performance, but each fits their strengths so well. If Stray Kids are the band kids making crazy beats in the back of class, Ateez are the theatre kids making the most dramatic stories. What makes it even better is that they are good friends IRL - Changbin of Stray Kids and Wooyoung of Ateez in particular are known for just randomly calling each other to say they miss each other (they went to the same school before debut). If you check out Kingdom: Legendary War, they have some amazing interactions and a collaboration stage with them and BTOB (their vocal performance was my favorite). So excited for your journey in 2023! 15:15 you can definitely use the front arrow/back arrow to jump back a few seconds, or you can use the < and > (the period and comma) keys to move one frame at a time while paused. PS: Thank you for your joy, because I'm now getting into Dreamcatcher thanks to you!
Stay and Atiny historically get on really well, too. But then again, there’s a lot of overlap between band kids and theater kids. Eventually most of us are both :D
Wonderland is definitely a *strong* song, but it's almost too much for a first reaction to the group I'd say 😂 it's so anthem-y, you might need a base for who they are as artists before you can really appreciate it, at least that's how I feel about it. I discovered them with "Deja Vu" and "Answer" and fell for them immediately, if you'd be interested in checking out those! I have so many favourite Ateez songs I could double this comment's letter count by just naming titles so I'll stop myself there
@@atgnireactions5343 Quick note if you react to Answer, in your search for the mv do "Answer Ateez KQ" for some odd reason whenever you search for Answer the Stone Entertainment version is the only one that comes up.... Please dont react using the Stone Entertainment MVs they are a mass distribution channel and hardly ever have captions on it. Ateez's official music videos are released from KQ Entertainment (Except for the odd M2, Universe, or Japanese label). Their MVs are ALWAYs subtitled (unless if it is a cover, sometimes those aren't).
Really cool how you said that ateez performed as if it's their last day on earth because that's exactly what they always say about their work. That they never want to take any opportunity they get for granted and will always perform as if it's their last stage ever. As atiny of 4 years, there hasn't been a single stage of theirs that has disappointed me, not a single day went they didn't go all out and break the stage! ATEEZ is an incredible group. Their passion for what they do inspires me daily. Thank you fo rreacting to them and I hope you enjoy your journey aboard the pirate ship!!
ATEEZ IS OTHER NEVEL 🔥 There are many talented groups, but ATEEZ is ATEEZ, I don't think there is another group on their level. They are pure talent, I'm glad you met them, they completely captivate you. ❤️
I saw them live November 2022 I was speechless walking out. The electricity in the crowd from Atiny and it being shocked with their high power stages it’s phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend
Ateez and Stray Kids are both my ult groups so i'm excited that you're getting into Ateez too! They are incredible talented and hardworking! I can recommend their two latest comebacks 'Halazia' and 'Guerilla' and my favourite song Turbulence!
YES I was hoping you'd pick up Ateez too 🥳 clearly, a man of taste. Small note, Ateez is pronounced like "eighties"/ay-teez, but you're good, please don't delete the channel 😉
Thank you so much for reacting. The first time I saw them I thought they r insane.... I just loved them for giving 10000% for everything. If you want to know about the members, you can watch their relay dances...I learnt their names from that. After memorizing their names please do watch their mv Hala Hala & Guerrilla....I guarantee, you will feel what is left for them to amaze us. The man in blue with highlights is San. He goes 3000%+ in everything & we love him for that.
Ateez!! THE performance group! And you listend to the anthem! Was watching the video on my way home from work, slightly embarressed over the big smile constantly on my face. I really enjoyed you reaction! Quick Infos: • Ateez = Teenager + A to Z (A-teez) • they are pirates hence the references in the lyrics • they come from a really small company, actually the first group to debut from KQ. Everyone is so close, they call the CEO appa. KQ prepares right now to debut their second group. • so they had to prove themselves more than a group from a big company, e.g. were given only shortened spots in music shows etc. • Hongjoong is the first trainee in KQ, even bevore they officially started taking trainees in. But he was so persistent, that they took him in. He learns producing (since the start) with their producing team, you can find some of his songs in the discography • they have a demon line. Yes that's a thing. Seonghwa, Hongjoong and San just go that crazy on stage. But actually they are the sweetest guys. Song recs: • PIRATE KING (debut, so addicting) • SAY MY NAME (first introduction to Halateez) • HALA HALA (so so good! but in the performance mv you probably wont recognize the members, they perform as Halateez) • FIREWORKS (one of my absolute favorites) • GUERILLA (takes you to an alternet univers and will surprise you in a very good way) • HALAZIA (one of the best songs I ever heard, this comeback litterally threw me across my room) • Other good or important title tracks: ANSWER, DEJA VU, THE REAL, THANXX, INCEPTION, WAVE • B-sides will have to wait for now Hope this wasn't to much. Have a nice evening!
yaaaay I'm extremely exited to see you go on this journey with ateez. as for guides, I strongly recommend "the ultimate guide to ateez" by ofallthekennys! It's the most recent and detailed.
Thaaaaanks! The ultimate guide to ATEEZ which is like 1hr half long yeah?? Isn't their a more recent guide called A light hearted guide to ATEEZ? May not be as detailed as the ofallthekennys mind you XD
@@atgnireactions5343 oh, that one is very fun to watch and is a good start, definitely! but to actually get to know the members better and their talents and their predebut details and stuff like that - it's definitely better to watch the long one. but you can do as you want to!!
@@atgnireactions5343 Would definitely recommend the ultimate guide or the guide by Etini which is a bit shorter, about 40 minutes, it was made some time ago but is honestly still one of the best guides out there! The short light hearted guide in my opinion, is really not a good guide, it'll give you their names and some very random facts about each member and that's it.
This song is foundational for Ateez fans, so I’m glad you watched it even though it’s a couple of years old. Ateez is the flagship (cause Ateez are pirates) group of a tiny company and so in their early videos although they did a lot with what they had, you can definitely tell the difference in budget with what they are currently putting out now that they have gained a little bit of popularity. I highly recommend you look at their most recent video for Halazia. Might be the best Ateez song yet, and I have seen people react to it that have never seen a Kpop video before but just watched it because it was trending, and those who have watched hundreds of Kpop videos react to it, and every single person was impressed.
*ATEEZ* (pronounced A (like a letter A) - Tease) is well-known as one of the best performance groups in this generation of K-pop. Their stage presences, their dancing skills and their vocals are incredible. I'd like to recommend you to check out these songs *- HALAZIA (their latest video)* *- Guerrilla (highly recommend)* - Pirate king (debut song) - Say my name - Hala Hala - Fireworks - Inception - Deja Vu
First Stray Kids and now ATEEZ?! Let's go!!!!! Stray Kids is like my ult group and ATEEZ are my bias wrecking group (if you can put it that way lol). Also, you'll be happy to know these groups are actually friends (especially Wooyoung and Changbin)! You can see some of their interactions on Kingdom! Can't wait to see more of your reactions to both!
Yessss, you finally discovered ATEEZ, these guys are absolutely incredible and very underrated. Highly recommend checking out their most recent comeback Halazia (this song slaps), as well as Guerrilla Cyberpunk, Fireworks and Deja Vu, but honestly their whole discography is fire.
They just released a new song called Halazia and it is absolutely amazing!! You will probably have to leave the room it's so good😅 thank you for takeing a look at our demon boys😁😊💜💜💜💜
welcome to ateez 😁 these men are crazy good with performance and they are the reason I finally accepted I'm a multi-stan ahah glad you liked it and Hope you'll react to more of them ^^
I have listened to Wonderland when it dropped and I was like "really cool song but I don't think I'm going to listen to them more" look at me now, frantically scrambling to catch up on everything. xD They are awesome but the best part of them are their live stages. I hate when people say "the group A is the best dancers/singers/performers/etc" bc I always want to ask them "yeah? and have you actually seen many other groups" but damn as an ARMY and a STAY I have to say that Ateez are best live performers. Not the dancing or singing but the acting and the theatrics of their performances are unrivaled. I REALLY recommend checking out Kingdom especially since Stray kids (and some other cool groups) are there as well!
this was great ! when you commented on the dancing i was like 'see this is why music videos aren't trust worthy for looking at a dance' obviously bc the other scenes don't show everything, but i wasn't mad at the comment because i was like 'just wait until the dance practice and he's gonna take it back' i was so confident LOLOL but i was right 😌 also ateez is pronounced like "aye-teez" not "uh-ateez"
When you started talking about the dancing not being that good I laughed because I knew what was coming when you were going to watch the dance practice 🤣 🤣 Anyways, love your reacting, definitely subscribing
i can also recommend guerilla and halazia from ATEEZ those song also have powerfull beats hope you will also react to these and even more songs of them
I loved your reaction… 😆 Especially the part when you thought they aren’t the best dancers 🤣 They are the masters of performance. I’ve seen ATEEZ live in Berlin last year, and it was my first concert ever where I was croaky to the point of not even getting any sound out the day after 😆… We should call you Alice now… Because that rabbit hole just opened, and you’re in for an adventurous ride 😊
The energy of ATEEZ is incredible, they always give everything in each presentation, there are guides that can help you a lot so you can recognize them, I hope you can react to more songs like Guerrilla, Halazia, Hala Hala, say my name :D
ATEEZ (a-tease) mv's generally prioritize a story over getting full footage of their dances so its easy to think they dont go as hard as they do. but as you saw the dance practice's show the entirety of the choreo. also just like hyunjin wooyoung has an artist of the month and "4th gen leaders" thing is thrown around a lot but i truly feel ateez and skz are rightly called that. skz shows with awards and charts ateez shows with the speed of their global popularity and they were legitimately named leaders by south Koreas national tourism something or another (i dont remember exactly the title) skz and ateez are also friends(wooyoung and changbin specifically have known each other since like middle school or something). and Hongjoong participates in their music production as a whole. and they have a BIG BIG story line. also as you get going mingi is missing from most of their content in 2021 because he was taking a mental health break. they are amazing people also for me skz and ateez are my ults and i fell in love with their character much more than did their music even though their music is sick. ateez also has a LOT of softer songs that are hypnotizing. the longer guide is well worth the watch it has snips of thier songs but i think they are short enough it just makes you curious about the song with out giving really anything away i could literally go on for hours but ill stop here.
The member at 7:25 (and 14:57) is my bias, Yunho, so I'm gonna take a moment to hype him up! He's one of the dance/vocal line, and is a beast at both. Despite being the tallest member at 6'1", the group themselves refer to him as their best dancer, due to his intense technical proficiency and precision, ability to learn choreography insanely quickly, ability to choreograph himself, and how he helps the rest of the group learn their dances when they're struggling. You'll hear him sometimes in their dance practices shouting cues (or just plain shouting because he's having a good time), and he has a very hard time not dancing along with anything that's playing. He doesn't often get as much attention for his dancing as the demon line of the group, as the demon line are some of the most amazing overall performers I have ever seen in my life, but if you keep your eyes on him, he has a very strong intensity, an obvious passion for his craft, and the subtlety of his precision is absolutely mesmerising. As for his vocals, he has one of the widest ranges in the group, and is the most stable and consistent live after Jongho and San (though I want to stress that they're all just so good; I've seen a couple dozen groups live, and I think only one group ever has impressed me more with their ability to sing stably while dancing so hard), even when he's dancing his hardest. If you want a really cool collab to react to, Pentatonix requested a collab with ATEEZ, and chose Jongho, San, and Yunho as the ones to feature in it. Even before he ended up my bias, his vocal timbre was my favorite in the group, due to its richness, unique flavor, and the versatility in which he utilizes it. He can harsh and aggressive one moment and then airy and delicate in the next, sometimes within a few measures in a single song. But even besides the sheer caliber of his personal talent, Yunho won my bias spot thanks to his personality. He is ridiculously kind, but loves to joke around as well. He is often the first to laugh at the small misfortunes of his teammates, but also the first to show concern or move to help when he thinks it may be more serious. He is known by the fandom as the Golden Retriever or Yunhogizer, as he likes to keep an optimistic attitude and focus on making sure everyone, fan and teammates alike, is having a good time. And he's not afraid to potentially embarass himself to do so either, because (and I'm paraphrasing him here) it's all worth it to make someone smile. He is often a bit more reserved than the rest of ATEEZ when it comes to talking about his personal life or sharing difficult feelings, but is always attentive and caring when listening to the troubles of others. As a personal anecdote to his kindness, the day he became my bias was the first time I saw them live, in 2019, which was less than six months after their debut. I was the only disabled person at the show, and it was the first time my disbility made it impossible to stand gor a whole show in a standing-only venue. I won't give the whole long story of fighting to get a spot where I could see literally any of the stage (the disabled seating was cut off entirely), but ended up placed in a spot separated from the rest of the crowd. I could only see half the stage, but was still relatively close to it, which was better than nothing but still incredibly disappointing. But Yunho's designated spot every time the group stopped to talk to the crowd or play a game was the corner of the stage closest to me, and every time he took that spot he would always make a point of turning to my little corner to wave or send finger hearts or smile. To further cement him as bias, at the high touch (I had a VIP ticket), despite the venue giving their normal spiel about not slowing down or grabbing the members' hands, and just to touch and keep going, Yunho lit up at my approach, fully grabbed my hand in both of his, looked me in the eye, and thanked me for coming. And it absolutely saved the show for me. Just knowing that someone cared after the way the venue treated me, and that he didn't have to make that effort but did to try to make me feel included? It turned what could have been the most disappointing concert experience in my life into a treasured one, and given me a memory of kindness that has helped ground me when my health issues make me feel alone. Aaaand yeah, that's a small glimpse into Yunho! So it should also give you an idea of how amazing this group is both on and off the stage that, even after me gushing so much about my bias, I also only *barely* have a bias at all. ATINY fandom is the first I have encountered in my decade of listening to kpop where I meet just as many full-group biased fans as fans with a bias, or fans with biases that shift so often, and where even the majority of the ones with a bias took forever to settle on just one. Though I acknowledge that you can never really know a celebrity, they at least seem to be very genuine people who all have an intense passion for what they do, as well as a deep appreciation for their fanbase. They're all 8 phenomenal performers, phenomenal musicians, and phenomenal humans, and I'm glad you've taken your first step into ATINYdom! For suggestions, I personally think the best place to start is at the beginning, perhaps even with their 4 pre-debut dance performance videos. Those went viral when they were first released, and really showcase their skill as dancers and cohesiveness as a team. Then from there you can watch them grow from amazing rookies to the juggernauts they are now. If you'd like a list of all their MVs in order, I would be happy to provide one, so just let me know. Lastly, I do aoologize for the length and dervir of this comment, but your excitement at seeing them for the first time got me really pumped. I hope it gave you something helpful, and I further hope you have a wonderful day!
Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely, wholesome comment. Like seriously, you're amazing, and doubly so for hyping up your bias especially with the anecdote about the concert! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GENTLEMAN!!! My respect for him has skyrocketed after this. omo!!!! The venue can do one what a bunch of inconsiderate a**holes, fr! But what he did is just wonderful, what a man! I am so happy for you that he did that! I hope he knows how much it means to you! As for his dancing, I actually went back and watched the dance practice and Yunho really did stand out for me! I actually think I thought he was a member of the 'Demon' line up! But I completely agree with you he is just brilliant!
Thanks for reaction and taking a chance on our ATEEZ boys 😊 LOL, firstly yeah, you're about to stan another group 😅 No matter how many or how hard you stan a group, when you get a "taste" of ATEEZ, you're gonna fall and add them them to your ult groups. You cannot not fall in love with ATEEZ.. It's basic Science, the law of attraction 😉 The ATEEZ boys are also friends with litteraly every other male idol groups and have won respect from several seniors as well. The member Wooyoung, is really good friends with Stray Kids' Changbin among others. He's the biggest social butterfly in the kpop industry 😅 Stray Kids and ATEEZ are 4th generation kings. Both groups are crazy performers and especially ATEEZ gives 200% in every performance, not just with singing and dance, but acting as well. Try notice their facial expressions, when they perform - they go ALL in. And it's funny, because they are intense performers, however they are some of the most adorkable and chaotic people, when they're off stage 😅🥰
Yup they are intense! I always feel like they go hard even if it's "just" a dance practice! They're having a Europe tour this spring and I'm seeing them in Copenhagen in march and I am so exited! they're also going the UK! (Don't know if there's any tickets left though! I thought you would love Ateez and I'm glad you did! Looking forward to more and also other groups too! Have a nice day!
I don't disagree after watching their DP! Oh how exciting I hope you have a great time!! Someone else in the comments mentioned it Monday and I literally went and bought a ticket to the London show XDD so I need to check out more songs before Feb haha Have a super blessed day!
Great reaction. I was a bit afraid when you said they weren't good dancers. LOL. They are amazing... San was in the blue denim shirt in the dance practice and you are right, some of the guys are pretty tall, Mingi and Yunho are about 6ft tall. BTW... you got Mingi, Hongjoong, and Seonghwa correct when you pointed them out in the MV. Cant wait for more reactions to Ateez.
Welcome to Ateez! Wonderland is definitely a good first introduction to them. They're amazing and pretty much everything that they do, but they're also a chaotic bunch. These guys have grown so much since they first started back in 2018 and it definitely shows. Can't wait to see more Ateez content!
Ateez, like Stray Kids, was part of Kingdom: Legendary War. All of the groups that performed did amazing, however, Ateez performed a different version of WONDERLAND that I think you'd enjoy tons if you loved this. It was an amazing performance (however, due to Mingi's hiatus, he wasn't able to perform with them, so it's just seven of them). I loved your genuine reactions here (wonderland is truly iconic) and I'm really glad you kept an open heart about the dancing 🤣 they're some of the best dancers in kpop (they also have some predebut performance videos that are ✨️Amazing✨️ if you want to check those out as well) I look forward to seeing more!
Just a fun note about their dance style: ATEEZ are unique in that they don’t tend to prioritise synchronicity as much as most other groups, instead they emphasise individual flair/character and really embodying the words of the song, it’s why they’re known for their facial expressions, storytelling/lore and overall stage presence. It’s also why they’ve been nicknamed the emo theatre kids of kpop at one point 😭😭
yesssss it's not an ateez dance practice if they're not giving 120% lmao!! I really really enjoyed this reaction and i so can't wait for you to check out more of their stuff .. if you like this wait till you know is that their concept as a group is 'pirates' and that the usually go for the beastly more type of performance!! i'm so excited for you to see mooore especially 'the ultimate guide' cause these guys .. it's scary how talented they are. dark horses truly!
Thanks for ur first journey with Ateez😘 They're originaly unique and extraordinary performers. Ateez is dangerous in a good way, once u love one of their mvs u won't stop digging their discography. Ateez isn't only doing artwork, they're kings of live stage performance. Ateez isn't SKZ. They're special with their own ways. Ateez is a group of 8 great singers who able to dance as professionals. They're consistent with story line concept of pirates ❤️
Every one of them will get to you at some point. I love them and I'm 50 years old. My friend's daughter got us into them and went to 2 concerts in one year. Love watching your reactions!
@atgnireactions5343 Just watched your Guerilla video. Their back up dancers are a group called BB Trippin who do alot of their choreography as well as Yunho and Wooyoung. You said they were role models, but you should watch some of their other videos where they are playing games and other stuff. They are very humble and quite shy at times and so funny. You would never guess by some of the stuff they do that they are who you see on stage or performing like they do. We fell even more in love with them after watching some of their fun stuff! Also, Wooyoung and San are best friends, calling themselves Woosan. They are so cute together! And Seonghwa is always trying to be part of Woosan. Lol I could talk to you all day about these guys! The concerts are mind-blowing! Went to Atlanta in January and then November. 2nd concert we were in 3rd row on the side and couldn't believe how close we were! You will have the time of your life! Can't wait to hear about your concert in London. My best friend, her daughter and would love to meet them someday! We generally support and respect them. Oh and my best friend said to tell you that Hongjoong paints one fingernail, his pinky for the polished man campaign for violence against children. My friend and I are both named Jenny and we call ourselves Woosan because my bias is Wooyoung and hers is San. Can't wait for your next review! Check out Thanxx and Wave too.
The way I almost spilled my drink at the comment and thought "bro's gonna get mind blown by the end of the MV 😂😂" which is exactly what hapened Actually there are 4 levels of dancing and performing in my opinion : Easy lev ; Medium lev ; Hard lev ; and ATZ lev the reason many ppl are noting on ur comment is bcuz Atz actually won best performance grp award not long ago and are considered top tier kpop Dancers and masters on Stage ... Everyone was sure u'd undoubtedly change ur mind later and I am glad u like it Thank you so much for ur reaction
If you think they are good here, they are even better now. Can't wait for you to see Guerrilla , Halazia. But I'm glad you are watching the dance practice after the MV. They are amazing I hope you react to more Ateez content!! Great reaction. I also hope you get to see some of their LIVE stages, amazing vocals!
Wonderland is one of my fav Ateez songs. And love how genuinely blown away you are. This group is totally new to you (well, was...because now you've seen them in concert haha) and every second you discover something new. Love your honest reactions. Gosh names.... you're so good at that. That takes me AGES.
I never watch someone who pay attention into so much deep down detail, you are amazing. I like how you are saying all of the aspect. Gonna follows you!
Ateez is my ULT! They are AMAZING performers! Dance, vocals, facial expressions, LORE! You will not be disappointed. They typically have layers on layers of goodies for us to weed through in their MVs. For this MV in particular, one of the layers is an Alice in Wonderland theme (hence the name of the song) where each member is a different character from Alice in Wonderland. I’ll go in order of who was shown since adding time stamps will be difficult. Hongjoong is the white rabbit (animal print jacket, white boots, holding a compass to represent the clock), then Seongwha is the red queen (red and black diamond sweater to represent her dress), Yunho is the caterpillar (green sweater in front of Smokey tv screens to represent his psychedelic smoke), Wooyoung is the jabberwocky (the chains a creating the picture of the monster), San is Alice (in the flowers with the blue top - as an aside he is the one in the denim shirt in the dance practice that is giving his all there at the end, he is part of the demon line with Hongjoong and Seongwha and is KNOWN for his performance), Mingi is the Mad Hatter (look at the “table” above him), Yeosang is the white roses painted red (his sweater portrays that), and finally Jongho as the Cheshire Cat (see his purple animal print sweater). Alice in Wonderland itself is not really tied to the lore but the meaning of someone lost in a different unknown place IS when you learn about the demential travel and the like. Also, to answer your question about Wooyoung’s chains, they are representing how the people of the other dimension, Z or Strickland, are trapped by their government control. It is WAY too much to get into here but just know that their lore is EXPANSIVE and everything they do ties into it. I hope this helps since you asked us to tell you if there was something you missed about this MV in particular. To continue a Wonderland specific dive, I highly recommend their Kingdom performance called Symphony No 9 Into the Wonderland. They reimagined the song and took it to a whole other level. Plus you get to see them sing live and it is just EVERYTHING. They competed with it on Kingdom and won that episode with the performance.
PS: You're adorable haha 💜 Can confirm...I've seen Wonderland twice in concert and it's IN FREAKING SANE. They are the most powerful performers you'll see. And they just have IT. Whatever IT is, they make it themselves with absolutely originality. No one is out there like Ateez. 4th gen leaders
Because it's a good fixed position, at 37:28 from left to right: the sexy one Wooyoung, youngest and main vocal Jongho, captain Hong Joong, our golden retriever Yunho, our flower Seonghwa, angel Yeosang, mountain demon San, and our "Fix On" Song Mingi. I'm so glad that you were as captivated by them as you were. It's hard not to be! They're a wonderful, hard-working, kind and humble group with ridiculous skills. The ending pose isn't really particular/special. Wonderland is absolutely anthemic, and there are other examples, like Hala Hala (performance version). They have a deep lore and are spectacular performers. You'll love their live stages, and after this, I'd recommend their Kingdom performance, From the Wonderland, which basically is the most memorable performance ever. Welcome to our pirate ship!
The way I nearly clicked off after the dance comments, but With how long the video was, and what you said about having a dance practice pulled up, I knew it wouldn't last very long. Good on you for taking back that comment and admitting you were wrong, that takes a lot. Also, being Whipped by Seonghwa and amazed by Yunho's voice is so relatable, they're my two biases!
I feel like many others had the same response and did not stay to watch me rescind my comments haha. I am glad I am not alone with the Hwa x Yunho enjoyment
I don't know if somebody already did it, but if you have time, check the Kingdom version of this song, is just majestic (ps sorry for my English, i'm Italian and i don't have many chances to speak in English)
@@atgnireactions5343 Thank You :3 I've always been afraid of expressing myself poorly in English, especially with native speakers. Anyway i love your reactions and i know you will love their kingdom performances. If you don't know where to watch the full episodes, you can watch them on Viki 😊
i was like, "aint no way he said theyre not the best dancers just now", i was FLABBERGASTED.. glad that i'd decided to stick long enough to see that he changed his mind eventually haha !! thank you for reacting to ateez, theyre so amazing
I can't say I've ever sat through a 43 minutes Reaction before- usually it gets stale or overanalyzing or just bleh... but this? I didn't even realize it had been 43 minutes until the end! Your reaction was so genuine and enthusiastic! You've earned this Atiny's subscription. It was wonderful watching you appreciate the different members and certain moments in the MV/Choreo. Sometimes it's tedious watching reactors rewind over and over again but it didn't bother me one bit because you had something new to say or point out every time! I felt bad when you were trying to understand the lyrics though, because a lot of Ateez's lyrics are also part of their storyline! They have a deep and complex lore which is so much fun to try and figure out because they give it to us like pieces of a puzzle. I would be INCREDILBY happy to help you with a speedrun learning their storyline if you're interested since I'm probably far more into it than is healthy :D Luckily (or unluckily) I've seen this a few days after it being posted, so other Atiny have already covered your questions that I can see. I can't wait for your future reactions! Welcome to TinyTown (Stray Kids has StayVille), where the biases are made up and who you think is your favorite doesn't matter lol Happy to have you aboard the ship!
Omo! Thank you so much for sitting through mine! I am sorry I know they are super long for a reaction! But I really appreciate your comment like... seriously! I get really worried that the videos do get stale or people just get bored of it! So I really really am glad you liked it! I do try my hardest to not be dull and to point out things I find interesting and try not to get caught repeating myself although I am sure I do on occasion! Yeah I have A LOT to catch up on and from my understanding there is a huge amount of Lore inside of the ATEEZ Universe and I am trying to learn it as quick as I can but I would really appreciate your assistance where you're able to provide it that would mean so much! Thank you for the lovely welcome! I hope the future reactions go down much the same way as this one, although please do tell me if there is ever an issue with a reaction! I do appreciate all forms of feedback! Once again thank you so much and have a super blessed day!
youve got a new sub with bell turned on !! this might just be my favorite reaction to wonderland ive ever seen , thank you for appreciating our boys :) and im glad you do long reactions , youre so genuine and i saw ateez live so i can confirm they are the best performers ive ever seen (i literally stan like 20 groups) , at PREDEBUT , lia kim (world class choreographer) called them "the gods of synchronization" . and san was the one in blue in the dance practice ! he is one of the best performers in kpop and im not even exaggerating , he has many titles including "the man who raised the standards of kpop performance" . another thing about ateez that is unmatched is their stage presence aka their facial expressions , if you notice , they ALL get lost in the song and perform with the most insane expressions on their faces and become the character the song tells them to be .
Awh thank you so much! I don't deserve it fr! Well thank you for watching it! It means a lot Omo! I look forward to seeing them live next month then! I am sure it's going to be INCREDIBLE! 'Gods of Synchronization' what a title! if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know then I don't know what will XD I will keep an eye on their expressions the more we check them out!
Captain Hongjoong is so cool and known for his swag and expressions, San is in blue and he is a top dancer! actually all of Ateez members are known for amazing dancing skills and performance!
It's pronounced Æ teez like 80's And the fandom name is pronounced as The letter A-teeny (ateez+destiny) so how you say tiny in destiny And usually stays are also atiny so we just mixed it to staytiny (people who stan skz and atz) Also, skz and ateez are besties
“Bro what are you doing up there” 😂😂 absolutely killed me! I’m so glad you’re getting into them! Good songs to help get into them more, for me personally, are Answer and Deja Vu! Also, any detailed guides to introduce them are super helpful!
I’m so glad you are checking out Ateez! I don’t know them well, but what I do know, I love! They were on Kingdom with Stray Kids and did collab stages with SKZ and BTOB which were all fire. Their collab group was named Mayfly. Can’t wait to see your reaction to those performances! I’m going to take this Ateez journey with you and get to know them myself 😀
15:14 when you first started talking about their dancing my first thought was, “oh, this man is about to eat his words” 😂😂😂 And you’re absolutely correct. Seeing this live is EPIC.
im so glad i watched the halazia video before this and knew what you were gonna say about the dancing lol or else i would have been super upset. but you're really cool for owning up to it lol. ateez are DANCERS!~ definitely check out their predebut dance videos (kq fellaz performance videos I-III) and you'll see that they have been dancers from the jump. i enjoyed your reaction!
Thank you for the support! Don't worry once we start a group we most certainly will do more! Especially when they absolutely ruin me with such a great song!
Ateez, my ultimate group!! I’m so happy you got to react to them- they are incredibly performers and become absolutely possessed on stage with their facial expressions and dancing in general (that’s what they’re most famous for, for the newer or non atinys). They even have a “demon line” because of this feat. Also, they also have some of the best vocals in K-pop as a whole in technical terms, especially with main singer/maknae Jongho but all of them are phenomenal. Off stage, they are very endearing and warm hearted, humble boys, so it’s almost kind of fascinating to see that gap. Fun fact: the Ateez members are best friends with SKZ too, especially Wooyoung and Changbin who are best friends and “talk on the phone everyday” (as said by Han haha). Also I heard you are going to their live show next month; I got to see them live and it was honestly an outer body experience. They were insane live, especially with the amazing live vocals and theatrical performance. Have fun!! Thank you heaps for the reaction video 🙌🙏❤❤ I’m happy to be apart of this atiny journey!
You have to listen to hala hala it shows off how awesome they are as dancers and performers and halazia latest one 31m views already, it was just released 2w ago
Thanks for reacting to Ateez. Rarely does an Ateez MV truly show you the talents for dance these men posses. Dance practices are almost always a must. Ateez trained for dance in the US and have a very US hip hop style. I suggest you check out their KQ Fellas dance covers then you will really take back your they can’t dance well words. Jongho-the main vocalist centers the second and third covers. Ateez are a group who tells a story with their dancing. I think the best way to watch their dancing is full, fixed cam-as if you are in a theater watching them. They can dance in sync perfectly (watch Aurora MV if you want to see them do a more typical bg bright dance style). However they were trained by dance crew dancers. Ateez prioritizes being in character and putting your character’s spin on the dance. A perfect example-when your react to Halazia. Watch all their stage performances and note how they change up their dance styles based on costume. San is especially good. His stage character for when he was in fur and imagined himself a beast is very different from their last Inkigayo appearance when he was in a suit. But really you can see this with all 8 of them. Other songs: Answer Hala Hala Halazia (it’s like a movie) Guerrilla The Real (it’s like a mini anime movie) Inception Say My Name Aurora Celebrate I suggest those last two because they are very different from the other songs. I also really suggest you explore their B sides. Mist, Horizon, Sunrise, everything on Movement album.
Wasn't your fault that you assumed their dancing was mediocre, they didn't really showcase the dancing until nearly the end of the MV... I knew right away you would take those words back by the end of the video so I took no offense lol! Definitely check out their dance practices if you are ever in doubt, they always go 100%+! Great reaction. I hope to see more and will definitely subscribe!
Awh thank you for saying so! I definitely took it back haha and I love their dances practices. They are AMAZING and just mind blowing. Their intensity at times is captovating
@@atgnireactions5343 No problem! ATEEZ is my favorite group from the beginning! The story line is intriguing as well! My bias is Hongjoong, but I do love them all just as equally! All their MVs serve and I have not been disappointed yet! I can’t suggest one more than the other, but definitely watching them in order will help you understand the MVs a little more. I look forward to whatever you decide to do!
I can never not laugh at Yunho's beanie falling over his eyes towards the end and basically dancing blind for a second... lol (not at his expense, but just because that's very Yunho) It was probably said about 500 times already, but San is the one that went hard! He's an absolute beast when he gets into something. I noticed that when they need some crazy moves done, they throw it at San - Need crazy bending? San. Need to jump over a few people? San. Need some high kicks? San. Need a crazed, grinning expression? San ('Hala Hala' MV after the hat removal, the Halloween special MVs, etc). Need a short battle of werewolves with some tense, aggro expressions? San. (that was... very specific, but, if you're a fan of Stray Kids - look up the BTOB/Ateez/Stray Kids Kingdom performance collaboration called "Wolf" --- it was done on the idol/kpop competition show, 'Kingdom' - the three groups collaborated to be judged together and did very well). He gets so into roles during performances and MVs... this includes the dance practices, just like this... the 'Hala Hala' dance practice, once again towards the end of the dance (and the close-up of his face in the actual MV), is what gave him the 'Demon San' nickname... (as soon as he throws his hat, you know he serious!)
Has anyone else ever noticed the lights shaking and flickering whenever they hit their dance moves hard?? ATEEZ is one of the hardest dancing groups in KPOP ever imo.thanks for your reaction!!😄🎶✌
*spoiler* if you need to know the exact minute the dancing comments were taken back it's after 14:47 😂 keep watching!❤
Thanks Evi XD
@@atgnireactions5343 haha you're welcome! i know people take things personally some times and it'd be a pitty for someone to stop watching a genuine reaction because of that! can't wait to see the rest of your ATEEZ journey ❤
@@evikalaitzi4942 Well I really appreciate you taking the time to do so! And I have just checked out your Wonderland reaction! I loved it, sooooo good!!
@@atgnireactions5343 awww thank you so much! 🥺 it means a lot even though i had tons of copyright problems!😂 thank you again!❤
@@evikalaitzi4942 I know the struggle! So much effort just to get the videos up sometimes!
omg the first time you said " they are not the best dancers " i was like ... He will definitely change his mind in a few minutes hahaha. In my opinion Ateez are the best performers in Kpop. Glad you liked it.
lmaoo right😂😂
Lol I was like you just wait and see…
Hahaha the same reaction I had. 💀💀
*twiddles fingers, waiting for some Mingi love when he busts out*
Had the same thought! The MV doesn't feature as much of the choreography immediately, so you don't get to see how amazing their dancing is until around the first chorus. But Ateez is known as one of the best groups for dance and performance in 4th gen kpop.
I love the back pedalling about their dancing, it's a sign of maturity that you can admit you were wrong 🤣
Haha thanks, I will always pop my hands up and admit I was wrong, especially if I notice it like 2 minutes later XD
Ateez is very close to Stray Kids. Many of them are friends. Love the reaction! ❤
That would not surprise me to be honest, especially if they were all on Kingdom together!
Strayteez and staytiny forever 💞
'This is going straight in the playlist. I may have to make a playlist just for Ateez'
The most relatable statement, because i fell down the Ateez rabbit hole and now I have multiple Ateez playlists organised according to the mood I'm in at any given moment
I absolutely love that! Maybe when I have discovered more of their discography I shall do something similar!
Me too! They have a song for every mood.
Lol...Ateez are basically know as "THE 4th Gen PERFORMANCE KINGS"!!!(and it's not just fans that say that...choreographers, other idols both seniors and juniors all praise Ateez dancing skills) Best all round group in the kpop game!! But anyways ...Thank you so much for your reaction!! I hope you check out more Ateez 🙏
I am swiftly learning why they're called that XD they're phenomenal! We definitely shall, Halazia reaction should drop in about 2 hours XD
I love how the fandom always jokes about how there are no roaches in KQ Ent. because Ateez's choreo always go SO HARD and they are literally known as some of the best performers/ dancers in kpop right now.
Especially San, (blue denim shirt in the Dance Practice) that man gives 200% in every dance and is known for quite literally dancing his mic off because he has so much power when he dances.
Some other songs I recommend are Answer, Halazia, The Real, and Inception!
Thanxx for checking out our guys!
Here hope this helps:
Hongjoong (Kind of like Honk with a hard g- jewng) - Blue haired rapper (dp: Denim jacket, hat)
Seonghwa (Song wah) - black hair argyle vest in elevator (dp: white shirt, black jeans)
Yunho (u know) - blond at the TV screens (dp: Black beanie)
Yeosang (Yo saang (hard g)) - brown hair, tunnel black, red, and white sweater (not argyle) (dp: All black, blonde hair)
San (saan) - In the flowers (dp: Denim shirt, back bend guy)
Mingi (ming (like a Ming vase) ee) - red haired rapper (dp: Orange hair)
Wooyoung (Oo - Young (you do not pronounce the w) - guy chained up (dp: lavender hair)
Jongho (like jog, but with the n added in, ho) - blue/purple sweater, high note king (dp: Guy in jacket)
Fandom name: Atiny (A teeny) it is a combination of Ateez and Destiny
I was about to throw hands at the dancing comment, Ateez are known for being incredibly good dancers, they essentially trained like a dance crew (facial expressions and all), and are known to have some of the most difficult and exhausting choreos in kpop (all the while being known for their live singing). They are performance monsters.
Oh and San goes 200% ALWAYS! He is considered to be one of the best performers in kpop.
Nooooot a problem, absolutely glad I did!
This is incredibly helpful thank you so much!! Appreciate you taking the time to be so descriptive with their name pronunciations and who they are in the MV/DP, you're amazing!!
I apologize about the dance comment I retracted it during the video! Please don't throw hands! At least not at the face, its not the best face but I need it!
All jokes aside they went hard! And I readily admit my initial comment was wrong... very wrong.
Feel like I am going to enjoy getting to see more of San then!
This comment is everything
I definitely recommend Guerilla and Halazia by them. They’re such good songs and have a really good choreo. Those songs always pop into my head from time to time along with superboard 😂😂
Haha ok well after the guide I might check those out then! thank you for the suggestion
And Paradigm! All newer releases
OMG yes, please do Guerilla and Halazia. You will not be disappointed
ateez as a group are know as the best dancers and performers of the 4th gen. the fact that they have a “demon line” because some of the members look possessed when they’re on stage should already speak for itself 😂
The guy that went hard on the dance practice with the blue shirt is San! He's my bias in Ateez and you can always expect amazing performances from his part. He always gives it his all, it's fascinating to watch
San... noted! Thank you so much! Still trying to place names to faces etc so thank you for pointing that out for me I appreciate it!
With all the respect to other talented groups, ATEEZ are the best dancers/performers in the industry ❤️
and that's just the truth
it was so funny watching u take back what u said about their dancing cuz i just knew it would happen lmaooo 💀 they fr are performance monsters and their stage presence is the best in 4th gen !! loved ur reaction man and pls react to their newest release "Halazia"
I literally went “HA!” loud enough to startle my husband gaming in another room at that comment. 😂 Ateez are many things, but “not great dancers”? Please 😂
There's giving 100% and then there's Choi San. Haha
Thanks for giving ATEEZ a chance.
I knew you would be apologising for the first comment about their dancing. Glad you watched the dance practise too and recognised that they are super talented.
Enjoy your journey getting to know them.
Ateez are insane performers, I really hope you'll get to see them live because even if you don't know them well it's been said their concerts are life-changing :)
Fun fact, if you still remember the lyrics - their first tour of last year was called The Fellowship: Beginning of the End and the current one (they finished their North American leg last month and are coming to Europe next month) is called The Fellowship: Break The Wall.
Their lyrics are quite consistent in general, there are themes that come up, songs reference older songs - it really helps to have the same people responsible for all of their music instead of getting songs from a catalogue like most of kpop groups. For example, this is how the song My Way from their debut album starts: "Finally we begin / It's been a long road so far / It's too early to say you've done a good job / If the beginning is just half way, I'm here for the good life / I'm on my way, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of the other half till the end".
Their whole first album series, Treasure, was heavy on establishing their pirate concept and quite a lot of songs talk about starting the journey and looking for the (metaphorical) treasure, banding together, facing obstacles, being unstoppable in the face of hardships. In therms of the storyline that's happening in their MVs and albums they are still a bit earlier on, currently inciting a revolution in a dystopian dimension together with their darker counterparts (that's who you saw in the Wonderland MV). I wouldn't worry about their story and interpreting the MVs too much yet though, it's quite a lot of material and a lot of it is purposefully unclear yet (Hongjoong said it would be no fun if they just explained everything, they like us guessing, arguing, putting in the effort to decode clues and put together the puzzle pieces they give us).
if you're worried about the pronunciation of their names they introduce themselves very clearly in the beginning of this interview ua-cam.com/video/640pudDoRD4/v-deo.html (it might help you tell them apart if you watched it, it's from last month and they reply to "personalised" questions one after the other, quite extensively).
And lastly, as a treat bc of your comments about dance, this is a special dance stage that I suspect they made just to be able to show off (every concert fancam of it from their first tour is absolute gold, no matter the quality but this is from an online concert a bit later on) ua-cam.com/video/hWyObDDWqPI/v-deo.html
So I read your comment about them having a European tour next month, and literally went and bought a ticket. Thanks for the heads up XDDD
@@atgnireactions5343 oh, that's awesome, see you there :D
@@LadyTiferet Which one are you going to?
@@atgnireactions5343 Amsterdam and London!
@@LadyTiferet Omo! See you in London XDD I'll be the one with the cap hahaha
I laughed so hard when you said that they weren't the best dancers, I almost choked from laughter
Btw Hala Hala is a MV based on dancing, just, you know, if you want to see more of them going hard. Song is a banger as well
lmao the way I knew you would immediately take back what you said. Ateez are literally the best performers in kpop rn. Their choreographies are hard asf. I watch and join a lot of kpop random dances and I tell you no one dances to ateez except the confident ones and best dancers. what others do instead is sing the song. Like no one dares to dance and just shows how hard they're.
I maybes bias to say this but ateez has no bad song. They have everything.
and did you notice the shanty vibes in this song. it's because surprise surprise ateez are pirates. They have an insane storyline.
the guy in the blue you pointed out was San. "The man who will change the standards of kpop" what journalists said abt him.
All in all I hope you will enjoy your voyage into ateez. They're one of the most genuine and hard working ppl I know. They give everything in whatever they do. From facial expression, hard choreographies, high notes they got it.
Your guy in blue, is my guy SAN 🥰
This was a fun reaction! That jump from ‘not the best dancers’ to ‘I take everything back’ had me cackling 😭 ATEEZ are well known both in and outside Korea as a top performing group and its a very well-earned title! Subbed and excited to watch your ATEEZ journey, their live performances are quite literally insane.
"To see this live must be insane" SIR YOU HAVE NO IDEA. Just saw them in Canada, best concert of my life. I got covid there, still worth it. They're playing O2 arena in London Feb 22 ;)
I hope you're ok! Please stay healthy and look after yourself! But... I am glad you had such a great time!! And I know... might have bought a ticket Monday once someone else mentioned it XDDD
@@atgnireactions5343 I'm so excited for you!! You're gonna love it. Even if you don't know the songs you will be blown away!
Ateez will ALWAYS give performance level energy to their dance practices, in fact, you will never see an Ateez dance practice without the signature camera shake😂 THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES! I highly recommend watching a live stage from them :)
i didn't get mad when you said that about their performance because I KNEW IT that you gonna regret it 🤣 ateez is truly one of the best groups when it comes to dance and coreo
I can confirm seeing wonderland live is insane 😂 If you can, I would definitely suggest watching a live performance of any of their songs. Their stage presence is incomparable to other groups.
Fun fact: Two members of ATEEZ’s production team Eden-ary (LEEZ and Ollounder) are also Dreamcatcher main producers.
They are indeed! I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, sometimes I think I have said things and then actually haven't... whoops XDD
Leez is no longer part of either team. He left to be the exclusive, head producer for another company. Leez will likely still get Ateez credits for another comeback or two given how far ahead Ateez plan.
Ateez and Stray Kids are both amazing groups (I love them both) - definitely different styles and approach to performance, but each fits their strengths so well. If Stray Kids are the band kids making crazy beats in the back of class, Ateez are the theatre kids making the most dramatic stories.
What makes it even better is that they are good friends IRL - Changbin of Stray Kids and Wooyoung of Ateez in particular are known for just randomly calling each other to say they miss each other (they went to the same school before debut). If you check out Kingdom: Legendary War, they have some amazing interactions and a collaboration stage with them and BTOB (their vocal performance was my favorite). So excited for your journey in 2023!
15:15 you can definitely use the front arrow/back arrow to jump back a few seconds, or you can use the < and > (the period and comma) keys to move one frame at a time while paused.
PS: Thank you for your joy, because I'm now getting into Dreamcatcher thanks to you!
that is the most accurate description of Ateez and Stray Kids I have ever seen.
Stay and Atiny historically get on really well, too. But then again, there’s a lot of overlap between band kids and theater kids. Eventually most of us are both :D
I always say Stray Kids are experimental and lean rap while ATEEZ is anthemic and lean vocal, but I really like your description.
Wonderland is definitely a *strong* song, but it's almost too much for a first reaction to the group I'd say 😂 it's so anthem-y, you might need a base for who they are as artists before you can really appreciate it, at least that's how I feel about it. I discovered them with "Deja Vu" and "Answer" and fell for them immediately, if you'd be interested in checking out those! I have so many favourite Ateez songs I could double this comment's letter count by just naming titles so I'll stop myself there
It is very anthem-y I do agree with you. Haha never worry about the letter count I am always super appreciative of the suggestions!
@@atgnireactions5343 Quick note if you react to Answer, in your search for the mv do "Answer Ateez KQ" for some odd reason whenever you search for Answer the Stone Entertainment version is the only one that comes up.... Please dont react using the Stone Entertainment MVs they are a mass distribution channel and hardly ever have captions on it.
Ateez's official music videos are released from KQ Entertainment (Except for the odd M2, Universe, or Japanese label). Their MVs are ALWAYs subtitled (unless if it is a cover, sometimes those aren't).
It's funny that's how you feel cause I discovered them with wonderland and fell in love instantly lmao
the moment I heard the song I was like "yes"
Really cool how you said that ateez performed as if it's their last day on earth because that's exactly what they always say about their work. That they never want to take any opportunity they get for granted and will always perform as if it's their last stage ever. As atiny of 4 years, there hasn't been a single stage of theirs that has disappointed me, not a single day went they didn't go all out and break the stage! ATEEZ is an incredible group. Their passion for what they do inspires me daily.
Thank you fo rreacting to them and I hope you enjoy your journey aboard the pirate ship!!
ATEEZ IS OTHER NEVEL 🔥
There are many talented groups, but ATEEZ is ATEEZ, I don't think there is another group on their level.
They are pure talent, I'm glad you met them, they completely captivate you. ❤️
I saw them live November 2022 I was speechless walking out. The electricity in the crowd from Atiny and it being shocked with their high power stages it’s phenomenal. 10/10 highly recommend
Omo! I am super glad I am going to see them in Feb now then XD I need to check out more of their songs!
Ateez and Stray Kids are both my ult groups so i'm excited that you're getting into Ateez too! They are incredible talented and hardworking!
I can recommend their two latest comebacks 'Halazia' and 'Guerilla' and my favourite song Turbulence!
YES I was hoping you'd pick up Ateez too 🥳 clearly, a man of taste. Small note, Ateez is pronounced like "eighties"/ay-teez, but you're good, please don't delete the channel 😉
I like to think my tastes are quite broad and encompass a wide variety of musical flavours XD Haha ok I shall bear that in mind for the future thanks!
Thank you so much for reacting. The first time I saw them I thought they r insane.... I just loved them for giving 10000% for everything.
If you want to know about the members, you can watch their relay dances...I learnt their names from that. After memorizing their names please do watch their mv Hala Hala & Guerrilla....I guarantee, you will feel what is left for them to amaze us. The man in blue with highlights is San. He goes 3000%+ in everything & we love him for that.
Ateez!! THE performance group! And you listend to the anthem! Was watching the video on my way home from work, slightly embarressed over the big smile constantly on my face. I really enjoyed you reaction!
Quick Infos:
• Ateez = Teenager + A to Z (A-teez)
• they are pirates hence the references in the lyrics
• they come from a really small company, actually the first group to debut from KQ. Everyone is so close, they call the CEO appa. KQ prepares right now to debut their second group.
• so they had to prove themselves more than a group from a big company, e.g. were given only shortened spots in music shows etc.
• Hongjoong is the first trainee in KQ, even bevore they officially started taking trainees in. But he was so persistent, that they took him in. He learns producing (since the start) with their producing team, you can find some of his songs in the discography
• they have a demon line. Yes that's a thing. Seonghwa, Hongjoong and San just go that crazy on stage. But actually they are the sweetest guys.
Song recs:
• PIRATE KING (debut, so addicting)
• SAY MY NAME (first introduction to Halateez)
• HALA HALA (so so good! but in the performance mv you probably wont recognize the members, they perform as Halateez)
• FIREWORKS (one of my absolute favorites)
• GUERILLA (takes you to an alternet univers and will surprise you in a very good way)
• HALAZIA (one of the best songs I ever heard, this comeback litterally threw me across my room)
• Other good or important title tracks: ANSWER, DEJA VU, THE REAL, THANXX, INCEPTION, WAVE
• B-sides will have to wait for now
Hope this wasn't to much. Have a nice evening!
yaaaay I'm extremely exited to see you go on this journey with ateez. as for guides, I strongly recommend "the ultimate guide to ateez" by ofallthekennys! It's the most recent and detailed.
Thaaaaanks! The ultimate guide to ATEEZ which is like 1hr half long yeah?? Isn't their a more recent guide called A light hearted guide to ATEEZ? May not be as detailed as the ofallthekennys mind you XD
@@atgnireactions5343 oh, that one is very fun to watch and is a good start, definitely! but to actually get to know the members better and their talents and their predebut details and stuff like that - it's definitely better to watch the long one.
but you can do as you want to!!
@@atgnireactions5343 The lighthearted guide to Ateez is fun but not that detailed, so maybe the longer one is better! :)
@@atgnireactions5343 Would definitely recommend the ultimate guide or the guide by Etini which is a bit shorter, about 40 minutes, it was made some time ago but is honestly still one of the best guides out there! The short light hearted guide in my opinion, is really not a good guide, it'll give you their names and some very random facts about each member and that's it.
I am so happy you’ve joined us Atiny’s. Please enjoy the journey down the Ateez rabbit hole. Cannot wait to see your reactions. They are so genuine ❤
This song is foundational for Ateez fans, so I’m glad you watched it even though it’s a couple of years old. Ateez is the flagship (cause Ateez are pirates) group of a tiny company and so in their early videos although they did a lot with what they had, you can definitely tell the difference in budget with what they are currently putting out now that they have gained a little bit of popularity. I highly recommend you look at their most recent video for Halazia. Might be the best Ateez song yet, and I have seen people react to it that have never seen a Kpop video before but just watched it because it was trending, and those who have watched hundreds of Kpop videos react to it, and every single person was impressed.
*ATEEZ* (pronounced A (like a letter A) - Tease) is well-known as one of the best performance groups in this generation of K-pop. Their stage presences, their dancing skills and their vocals are incredible.
I'd like to recommend you to check out these songs
*- HALAZIA (their latest video)*
*- Guerrilla (highly recommend)*
- Pirate king (debut song)
- Say my name
- Hala Hala
- Fireworks
- Inception
- Deja Vu
There are Atiny of the first hour who still don't know how to recover watching Ateez's dance practices. Yuo will LOVE them ALL.
First Stray Kids and now ATEEZ?! Let's go!!!!! Stray Kids is like my ult group and ATEEZ are my bias wrecking group (if you can put it that way lol).
Also, you'll be happy to know these groups are actually friends (especially Wooyoung and Changbin)! You can see some of their interactions on Kingdom!
Can't wait to see more of your reactions to both!
So happy you discovered Ateez ! Truly a one of a kind group I hope you keep reacting to their things as we go on !
Yessss, you finally discovered ATEEZ, these guys are absolutely incredible and very underrated. Highly recommend checking out their most recent comeback Halazia (this song slaps), as well as Guerrilla Cyberpunk, Fireworks and Deja Vu, but honestly their whole discography is fire.
And also if you watch any San fancam, you'll immediately change your opinion on their dancing ;)
They just released a new song called Halazia and it is absolutely amazing!! You will probably have to leave the room it's so good😅 thank you for takeing a look at our demon boys😁😊💜💜💜💜
welcome to ateez 😁 these men are crazy good with performance and they are the reason I finally accepted I'm a multi-stan ahah
glad you liked it and Hope you'll react to more of them ^^
LMAOO the constant apologies after the dancing comment has me rolling. I'm so glad you love them
Ateez are in a class of their own. Their live performances are fire.
I have listened to Wonderland when it dropped and I was like "really cool song but I don't think I'm going to listen to them more" look at me now, frantically scrambling to catch up on everything. xD They are awesome but the best part of them are their live stages. I hate when people say "the group A is the best dancers/singers/performers/etc" bc I always want to ask them "yeah? and have you actually seen many other groups" but damn as an ARMY and a STAY I have to say that Ateez are best live performers. Not the dancing or singing but the acting and the theatrics of their performances are unrivaled.
I REALLY recommend checking out Kingdom especially since Stray kids (and some other cool groups) are there as well!
this was great ! when you commented on the dancing i was like 'see this is why music videos aren't trust worthy for looking at a dance' obviously bc the other scenes don't show everything, but i wasn't mad at the comment because i was like 'just wait until the dance practice and he's gonna take it back' i was so confident LOLOL but i was right 😌 also ateez is pronounced like "aye-teez" not "uh-ateez"
When you started talking about the dancing not being that good I laughed because I knew what was coming when you were going to watch the dance practice 🤣 🤣 Anyways, love your reacting, definitely subscribing
Glad you enjoyed it. And I think all Atinys knew I was going to be eating my words with a side of humbled pie XDDD
Ateez is definitely the best dancers in 4th generation of kpop!
i can also recommend guerilla and halazia from ATEEZ those song also have powerfull beats hope you will also react to these and even more songs of them
I loved your reaction… 😆 Especially the part when you thought they aren’t the best dancers 🤣 They are the masters of performance. I’ve seen ATEEZ live in Berlin last year, and it was my first concert ever where I was croaky to the point of not even getting any sound out the day after 😆… We should call you Alice now… Because that rabbit hole just opened, and you’re in for an adventurous ride 😊
The energy of ATEEZ is incredible, they always give everything in each presentation, there are guides that can help you a lot so you can recognize them, I hope you can react to more songs like Guerrilla, Halazia, Hala Hala, say my name :D
ATEEZ (a-tease) mv's generally prioritize a story over getting full footage of their dances so its easy to think they dont go as hard as they do. but as you saw the dance practice's show the entirety of the choreo. also just like hyunjin wooyoung has an artist of the month and "4th gen leaders" thing is thrown around a lot but i truly feel ateez and skz are rightly called that. skz shows with awards and charts ateez shows with the speed of their global popularity and they were legitimately named leaders by south Koreas national tourism something or another (i dont remember exactly the title) skz and ateez are also friends(wooyoung and changbin specifically have known each other since like middle school or something). and Hongjoong participates in their music production as a whole. and they have a BIG BIG story line. also as you get going mingi is missing from most of their content in 2021 because he was taking a mental health break. they are amazing people also for me skz and ateez are my ults and i fell in love with their character much more than did their music even though their music is sick. ateez also has a LOT of softer songs that are hypnotizing. the longer guide is well worth the watch it has snips of thier songs but i think they are short enough it just makes you curious about the song with out giving really anything away i could literally go on for hours but ill stop here.
The member at 7:25 (and 14:57) is my bias, Yunho, so I'm gonna take a moment to hype him up!
He's one of the dance/vocal line, and is a beast at both. Despite being the tallest member at 6'1", the group themselves refer to him as their best dancer, due to his intense technical proficiency and precision, ability to learn choreography insanely quickly, ability to choreograph himself, and how he helps the rest of the group learn their dances when they're struggling. You'll hear him sometimes in their dance practices shouting cues (or just plain shouting because he's having a good time), and he has a very hard time not dancing along with anything that's playing. He doesn't often get as much attention for his dancing as the demon line of the group, as the demon line are some of the most amazing overall performers I have ever seen in my life, but if you keep your eyes on him, he has a very strong intensity, an obvious passion for his craft, and the subtlety of his precision is absolutely mesmerising.
As for his vocals, he has one of the widest ranges in the group, and is the most stable and consistent live after Jongho and San (though I want to stress that they're all just so good; I've seen a couple dozen groups live, and I think only one group ever has impressed me more with their ability to sing stably while dancing so hard), even when he's dancing his hardest. If you want a really cool collab to react to, Pentatonix requested a collab with ATEEZ, and chose Jongho, San, and Yunho as the ones to feature in it. Even before he ended up my bias, his vocal timbre was my favorite in the group, due to its richness, unique flavor, and the versatility in which he utilizes it. He can harsh and aggressive one moment and then airy and delicate in the next, sometimes within a few measures in a single song.
But even besides the sheer caliber of his personal talent, Yunho won my bias spot thanks to his personality. He is ridiculously kind, but loves to joke around as well. He is often the first to laugh at the small misfortunes of his teammates, but also the first to show concern or move to help when he thinks it may be more serious. He is known by the fandom as the Golden Retriever or Yunhogizer, as he likes to keep an optimistic attitude and focus on making sure everyone, fan and teammates alike, is having a good time. And he's not afraid to potentially embarass himself to do so either, because (and I'm paraphrasing him here) it's all worth it to make someone smile. He is often a bit more reserved than the rest of ATEEZ when it comes to talking about his personal life or sharing difficult feelings, but is always attentive and caring when listening to the troubles of others.
As a personal anecdote to his kindness, the day he became my bias was the first time I saw them live, in 2019, which was less than six months after their debut. I was the only disabled person at the show, and it was the first time my disbility made it impossible to stand gor a whole show in a standing-only venue. I won't give the whole long story of fighting to get a spot where I could see literally any of the stage (the disabled seating was cut off entirely), but ended up placed in a spot separated from the rest of the crowd. I could only see half the stage, but was still relatively close to it, which was better than nothing but still incredibly disappointing.
But Yunho's designated spot every time the group stopped to talk to the crowd or play a game was the corner of the stage closest to me, and every time he took that spot he would always make a point of turning to my little corner to wave or send finger hearts or smile. To further cement him as bias, at the high touch (I had a VIP ticket), despite the venue giving their normal spiel about not slowing down or grabbing the members' hands, and just to touch and keep going, Yunho lit up at my approach, fully grabbed my hand in both of his, looked me in the eye, and thanked me for coming. And it absolutely saved the show for me. Just knowing that someone cared after the way the venue treated me, and that he didn't have to make that effort but did to try to make me feel included? It turned what could have been the most disappointing concert experience in my life into a treasured one, and given me a memory of kindness that has helped ground me when my health issues make me feel alone.
Aaaand yeah, that's a small glimpse into Yunho! So it should also give you an idea of how amazing this group is both on and off the stage that, even after me gushing so much about my bias, I also only *barely* have a bias at all. ATINY fandom is the first I have encountered in my decade of listening to kpop where I meet just as many full-group biased fans as fans with a bias, or fans with biases that shift so often, and where even the majority of the ones with a bias took forever to settle on just one. Though I acknowledge that you can never really know a celebrity, they at least seem to be very genuine people who all have an intense passion for what they do, as well as a deep appreciation for their fanbase. They're all 8 phenomenal performers, phenomenal musicians, and phenomenal humans, and I'm glad you've taken your first step into ATINYdom!
For suggestions, I personally think the best place to start is at the beginning, perhaps even with their 4 pre-debut dance performance videos. Those went viral when they were first released, and really showcase their skill as dancers and cohesiveness as a team. Then from there you can watch them grow from amazing rookies to the juggernauts they are now. If you'd like a list of all their MVs in order, I would be happy to provide one, so just let me know. Lastly, I do aoologize for the length and dervir of this comment, but your excitement at seeing them for the first time got me really pumped. I hope it gave you something helpful, and I further hope you have a wonderful day!
Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely, wholesome comment. Like seriously, you're amazing, and doubly so for hyping up your bias especially with the anecdote about the concert! WHAT AN ABSOLUTE GENTLEMAN!!! My respect for him has skyrocketed after this. omo!!!! The venue can do one what a bunch of inconsiderate a**holes, fr! But what he did is just wonderful, what a man! I am so happy for you that he did that! I hope he knows how much it means to you!
As for his dancing, I actually went back and watched the dance practice and Yunho really did stand out for me! I actually think I thought he was a member of the 'Demon' line up! But I completely agree with you he is just brilliant!
Omg I remember reading your heartwarming story about Yunho on reddit ! He really is the best and I'm so happy he made your experience so much better
@@liladune3961 This gave me a good smile! Yunho is a truly good egg, and I'm happy to tell everyone so! I hope you're having a wonderful day!
Thanks for reaction and taking a chance on our ATEEZ boys 😊
LOL, firstly yeah, you're about to stan another group 😅 No matter how many or how hard you stan a group, when you get a "taste" of ATEEZ, you're gonna fall and add them them to your ult groups. You cannot not fall in love with ATEEZ.. It's basic Science, the law of attraction 😉
The ATEEZ boys are also friends with litteraly every other male idol groups and have won respect from several seniors as well.
The member Wooyoung, is really good friends with Stray Kids' Changbin among others. He's the biggest social butterfly in the kpop industry 😅
Stray Kids and ATEEZ are 4th generation kings. Both groups are crazy performers and especially ATEEZ gives 200% in every performance, not just with singing and dance, but acting as well. Try notice their facial expressions, when they perform - they go ALL in. And it's funny, because they are intense performers, however they are some of the most adorkable and chaotic people, when they're off stage 😅🥰
Yup they are intense! I always feel like they go hard even if it's "just" a dance practice! They're having a Europe tour this spring and I'm seeing them in Copenhagen in march and I am so exited! they're also going the UK! (Don't know if there's any tickets left though! I thought you would love Ateez and I'm glad you did! Looking forward to more and also other groups too! Have a nice day!
I don't disagree after watching their DP! Oh how exciting I hope you have a great time!! Someone else in the comments mentioned it Monday and I literally went and bought a ticket to the London show XDD so I need to check out more songs before Feb haha Have a super blessed day!
subscribed really fast 😂 excited to see more ateez reactions!
Great reaction. I was a bit afraid when you said they weren't good dancers. LOL. They are amazing... San was in the blue denim shirt in the dance practice and you are right, some of the guys are pretty tall, Mingi and Yunho are about 6ft tall. BTW... you got Mingi, Hongjoong, and Seonghwa correct when you pointed them out in the MV. Cant wait for more reactions to Ateez.
Welcome to Ateez! Wonderland is definitely a good first introduction to them. They're amazing and pretty much everything that they do, but they're also a chaotic bunch. These guys have grown so much since they first started back in 2018 and it definitely shows. Can't wait to see more Ateez content!
Thank you for the warm welcome! Haha I am not adverse to chaotic groups at all XD I hope the content is worth the wait!
They always pour their all into their performances // That's why I LOVE ATEEZ.
Ateez, like Stray Kids, was part of Kingdom: Legendary War. All of the groups that performed did amazing, however, Ateez performed a different version of WONDERLAND that I think you'd enjoy tons if you loved this. It was an amazing performance (however, due to Mingi's hiatus, he wasn't able to perform with them, so it's just seven of them).
I loved your genuine reactions here (wonderland is truly iconic) and I'm really glad you kept an open heart about the dancing 🤣 they're some of the best dancers in kpop (they also have some predebut performance videos that are ✨️Amazing✨️ if you want to check those out as well)
I look forward to seeing more!
Just a fun note about their dance style: ATEEZ are unique in that they don’t tend to prioritise synchronicity as much as most other groups, instead they emphasise individual flair/character and really embodying the words of the song, it’s why they’re known for their facial expressions, storytelling/lore and overall stage presence. It’s also why they’ve been nicknamed the emo theatre kids of kpop at one point 😭😭
Welcome to the Ateez world once you are in there is no going back, check out Guerilla, Paradigm, The real, Say my name and of course Halazia 💯🔥
Thank you for the welcome (and warning? XD)
We just dropped Halazia yesterday!
yesssss it's not an ateez dance practice if they're not giving 120% lmao!!
I really really enjoyed this reaction and i so can't wait for you to check out more of their stuff .. if you like this wait till you know is that their concept as a group is 'pirates' and that the usually go for the beastly more type of performance!! i'm so excited for you to see mooore especially 'the ultimate guide' cause these guys .. it's scary how talented they are. dark horses truly!
Thanks for ur first journey with Ateez😘 They're originaly unique and extraordinary performers. Ateez is dangerous in a good way, once u love one of their mvs u won't stop digging their discography. Ateez isn't only doing artwork, they're kings of live stage performance. Ateez isn't SKZ. They're special with their own ways. Ateez is a group of 8 great singers who able to dance as professionals. They're consistent with story line concept of pirates ❤️
Every one of them will get to you at some point. I love them and I'm 50 years old. My friend's daughter got us into them and went to 2 concerts in one year. Love watching your reactions!
Not to correct you but 50 yrs young XD Wow 2 in a year?? How was that?
@atgnireactions5343 Just watched your Guerilla video. Their back up dancers are a group called BB Trippin who do alot of their choreography as well as Yunho and Wooyoung. You said they were role models, but you should watch some of their other videos where they are playing games and other stuff. They are very humble and quite shy at times and so funny. You would never guess by some of the stuff they do that they are who you see on stage or performing like they do. We fell even more in love with them after watching some of their fun stuff! Also, Wooyoung and San are best friends, calling themselves Woosan. They are so cute together! And Seonghwa is always trying to be part of Woosan. Lol I could talk to you all day about these guys! The concerts are mind-blowing! Went to Atlanta in January and then November. 2nd concert we were in 3rd row on the side and couldn't believe how close we were! You will have the time of your life! Can't wait to hear about your concert in London. My best friend, her daughter and would love to meet them someday! We generally support and respect them. Oh and my best friend said to tell you that Hongjoong paints one fingernail, his pinky for the polished man campaign for violence against children. My friend and I are both named Jenny and we call ourselves Woosan because my bias is Wooyoung and hers is San. Can't wait for your next review! Check out Thanxx and Wave too.
The way I almost spilled my drink at the comment and thought "bro's gonna get mind blown by the end of the MV 😂😂" which is exactly what hapened
Actually there are 4 levels of dancing and performing in my opinion :
Easy lev ; Medium lev ; Hard lev ; and ATZ lev
the reason many ppl are noting on ur comment is bcuz Atz actually won best performance grp award not long ago and are considered top tier kpop Dancers and masters on Stage ... Everyone was sure u'd undoubtedly change ur mind later and I am glad u like it
Thank you so much for ur reaction
If you think they are good here, they are even better now. Can't wait for you to see Guerrilla , Halazia. But I'm glad you are watching the dance practice after the MV. They are amazing I hope you react to more Ateez content!! Great reaction. I also hope you get to see some of their LIVE stages, amazing vocals!
Wonderland is one of my fav Ateez songs. And love how genuinely blown away you are. This group is totally new to you (well, was...because now you've seen them in concert haha) and every second you discover something new. Love your honest reactions.
Gosh names.... you're so good at that. That takes me AGES.
I never watch someone who pay attention into so much deep down detail, you are amazing. I like how you are saying all of the aspect. Gonna follows you!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying so. And thank you for watching the video!
Ateez is my ULT! They are AMAZING performers! Dance, vocals, facial expressions, LORE! You will not be disappointed. They typically have layers on layers of goodies for us to weed through in their MVs.
For this MV in particular, one of the layers is an Alice in Wonderland theme (hence the name of the song) where each member is a different character from Alice in Wonderland. I’ll go in order of who was shown since adding time stamps will be difficult. Hongjoong is the white rabbit (animal print jacket, white boots, holding a compass to represent the clock), then Seongwha is the red queen (red and black diamond sweater to represent her dress), Yunho is the caterpillar (green sweater in front of Smokey tv screens to represent his psychedelic smoke), Wooyoung is the jabberwocky (the chains a creating the picture of the monster), San is Alice (in the flowers with the blue top - as an aside he is the one in the denim shirt in the dance practice that is giving his all there at the end, he is part of the demon line with Hongjoong and Seongwha and is KNOWN for his performance), Mingi is the Mad Hatter (look at the “table” above him), Yeosang is the white roses painted red (his sweater portrays that), and finally Jongho as the Cheshire Cat (see his purple animal print sweater).
Alice in Wonderland itself is not really tied to the lore but the meaning of someone lost in a different unknown place IS when you learn about the demential travel and the like. Also, to answer your question about Wooyoung’s chains, they are representing how the people of the other dimension, Z or Strickland, are trapped by their government control. It is WAY too much to get into here but just know that their lore is EXPANSIVE and everything they do ties into it.
I hope this helps since you asked us to tell you if there was something you missed about this MV in particular.
To continue a Wonderland specific dive, I highly recommend their Kingdom performance called Symphony No 9 Into the Wonderland. They reimagined the song and took it to a whole other level. Plus you get to see them sing live and it is just EVERYTHING. They competed with it on Kingdom and won that episode with the performance.
You need to watch the kingdom performance of this
Loved the reaction 🥰 looking forward to more Ateez 😁
PS: You're adorable haha 💜
Can confirm...I've seen Wonderland twice in concert and it's IN FREAKING SANE. They are the most powerful performers you'll see. And they just have IT. Whatever IT is, they make it themselves with absolutely originality. No one is out there like Ateez. 4th gen leaders
Because it's a good fixed position, at 37:28 from left to right: the sexy one Wooyoung, youngest and main vocal Jongho, captain Hong Joong, our golden retriever Yunho, our flower Seonghwa, angel Yeosang, mountain demon San, and our "Fix On" Song Mingi. I'm so glad that you were as captivated by them as you were. It's hard not to be! They're a wonderful, hard-working, kind and humble group with ridiculous skills. The ending pose isn't really particular/special. Wonderland is absolutely anthemic, and there are other examples, like Hala Hala (performance version). They have a deep lore and are spectacular performers. You'll love their live stages, and after this, I'd recommend their Kingdom performance, From the Wonderland, which basically is the most memorable performance ever. Welcome to our pirate ship!
Lol i knew you would eat your words. They’re known for being some of the best dancers in kpop.
The way I nearly clicked off after the dance comments, but With how long the video was, and what you said about having a dance practice pulled up, I knew it wouldn't last very long. Good on you for taking back that comment and admitting you were wrong, that takes a lot.
Also, being Whipped by Seonghwa and amazed by Yunho's voice is so relatable, they're my two biases!
I feel like many others had the same response and did not stay to watch me rescind my comments haha. I am glad I am not alone with the Hwa x Yunho enjoyment
I don't know if somebody already did it, but if you have time, check the Kingdom version of this song, is just majestic (ps sorry for my English, i'm Italian and i don't have many chances to speak in English)
Your English is perfect no need to apologize! And I shall definitely get to it at some point! Much like the SKZ Kingdom Versions XD
@@atgnireactions5343 Thank You :3
I've always been afraid of expressing myself poorly in English, especially with native speakers. Anyway i love your reactions and i know you will love their kingdom performances. If you don't know where to watch the full episodes, you can watch them on Viki 😊
@@asjacambiganu8364 Your English is great, really.
i was like, "aint no way he said theyre not the best dancers just now", i was FLABBERGASTED.. glad that i'd decided to stick long enough to see that he changed his mind eventually haha !! thank you for reacting to ateez, theyre so amazing
I can't say I've ever sat through a 43 minutes Reaction before- usually it gets stale or overanalyzing or just bleh... but this? I didn't even realize it had been 43 minutes until the end! Your reaction was so genuine and enthusiastic! You've earned this Atiny's subscription. It was wonderful watching you appreciate the different members and certain moments in the MV/Choreo. Sometimes it's tedious watching reactors rewind over and over again but it didn't bother me one bit because you had something new to say or point out every time!
I felt bad when you were trying to understand the lyrics though, because a lot of Ateez's lyrics are also part of their storyline! They have a deep and complex lore which is so much fun to try and figure out because they give it to us like pieces of a puzzle. I would be INCREDILBY happy to help you with a speedrun learning their storyline if you're interested since I'm probably far more into it than is healthy :D
Luckily (or unluckily) I've seen this a few days after it being posted, so other Atiny have already covered your questions that I can see. I can't wait for your future reactions! Welcome to TinyTown (Stray Kids has StayVille), where the biases are made up and who you think is your favorite doesn't matter lol Happy to have you aboard the ship!
Omo! Thank you so much for sitting through mine! I am sorry I know they are super long for a reaction! But I really appreciate your comment like... seriously! I get really worried that the videos do get stale or people just get bored of it! So I really really am glad you liked it! I do try my hardest to not be dull and to point out things I find interesting and try not to get caught repeating myself although I am sure I do on occasion!
Yeah I have A LOT to catch up on and from my understanding there is a huge amount of Lore inside of the ATEEZ Universe and I am trying to learn it as quick as I can but I would really appreciate your assistance where you're able to provide it that would mean so much!
Thank you for the lovely welcome! I hope the future reactions go down much the same way as this one, although please do tell me if there is ever an issue with a reaction! I do appreciate all forms of feedback! Once again thank you so much and have a super blessed day!
FINALLY you are watching Ateez!!! I was waiting for this! You NEED to watch their MV for Guerrilla and The Real!! They are masterpieces
youve got a new sub with bell turned on !! this might just be my favorite reaction to wonderland ive ever seen , thank you for appreciating our boys :) and im glad you do long reactions , youre so genuine
and i saw ateez live so i can confirm they are the best performers ive ever seen (i literally stan like 20 groups) , at PREDEBUT , lia kim (world class choreographer) called them "the gods of synchronization" . and san was the one in blue in the dance practice ! he is one of the best performers in kpop and im not even exaggerating , he has many titles including "the man who raised the standards of kpop performance" . another thing about ateez that is unmatched is their stage presence aka their facial expressions , if you notice , they ALL get lost in the song and perform with the most insane expressions on their faces and become the character the song tells them to be .
Awh thank you so much! I don't deserve it fr! Well thank you for watching it! It means a lot
Omo! I look forward to seeing them live next month then! I am sure it's going to be INCREDIBLE! 'Gods of Synchronization' what a title! if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know then I don't know what will XD I will keep an eye on their expressions the more we check them out!
@@atgnireactions5343 i look forward to your next reactions then :)) youll definitely be seeing me more often in your comment section
@@esterwootaegi2644 I look froward to it! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment
Captain Hongjoong is so cool and known for his swag and expressions, San is in blue and he is a top dancer!
actually all of Ateez members are known for amazing dancing skills and performance!
I'm not even Atiny, but when you made the comment about them being not great dancers, I snorted 😁
I was wrong ok, let's all stop laughing at the guy with no idea XDD
It's pronounced Æ teez like 80's
And the fandom name is pronounced as The letter A-teeny (ateez+destiny) so how you say tiny in destiny
And usually stays are also atiny so we just mixed it to staytiny (people who stan skz and atz)
Also, skz and ateez are besties
I will definitely make sure I try to pronounce it properly next time! Thank you for taking the time to help me out with the pronunciation!
“Bro what are you doing up there” 😂😂 absolutely killed me!
I’m so glad you’re getting into them! Good songs to help get into them more, for me personally, are Answer and Deja Vu! Also, any detailed guides to introduce them are super helpful!
I’m so glad you are checking out Ateez! I don’t know them well, but what I do know, I love! They were on Kingdom with Stray Kids and did collab stages with SKZ and BTOB which were all fire. Their collab group was named Mayfly. Can’t wait to see your reaction to those performances! I’m going to take this Ateez journey with you and get to know them myself 😀
15:14 when you first started talking about their dancing my first thought was, “oh, this man is about to eat his words” 😂😂😂 And you’re absolutely correct. Seeing this live is EPIC.
I loved this reaction so much thank u sm for checking ateez and i hope u will do more of them 💗
6:15 i will see them live in one month and trust me, i'm so excited to hear this song live haha
I am watching all your Ateez reactions!! I love them, thank you!
im so glad i watched the halazia video before this and knew what you were gonna say about the dancing lol or else i would have been super upset. but you're really cool for owning up to it lol. ateez are DANCERS!~ definitely check out their predebut dance videos (kq fellaz performance videos I-III) and you'll see that they have been dancers from the jump. i enjoyed your reaction!
Subscribing in hopes for more Ateez content. They are my Ult group.
Thank you for the support! Don't worry once we start a group we most certainly will do more! Especially when they absolutely ruin me with such a great song!
@@atgnireactions5343 Yay!!!!!
Haha, I subscribed as soon as he talked about dancing at 10k.
Ateez, my ultimate group!! I’m so happy you got to react to them- they are incredibly performers and become absolutely possessed on stage with their facial expressions and dancing in general (that’s what they’re most famous for, for the newer or non atinys). They even have a “demon line” because of this feat. Also, they also have some of the best vocals in K-pop as a whole in technical terms, especially with main singer/maknae Jongho but all of them are phenomenal. Off stage, they are very endearing and warm hearted, humble boys, so it’s almost kind of fascinating to see that gap.
Fun fact: the Ateez members are best friends with SKZ too, especially Wooyoung and Changbin who are best friends and “talk on the phone everyday” (as said by Han haha).
Also I heard you are going to their live show next month; I got to see them live and it was honestly an outer body experience. They were insane live, especially with the amazing live vocals and theatrical performance. Have fun!! Thank you heaps for the reaction video 🙌🙏❤❤ I’m happy to be apart of this atiny journey!
Ope. You found San. He goes at Over 9000 at all times. One of the hardest dancers I've ever seen.
You have to listen to hala hala it shows off how awesome they are as dancers and performers and halazia latest one 31m views already, it was just released 2w ago
* Halazia
Thanks for reacting to Ateez.
Rarely does an Ateez MV truly show you the talents for dance these men posses. Dance practices are almost always a must.
Ateez trained for dance in the US and have a very US hip hop style. I suggest you check out their KQ Fellas dance covers then you will really take back your they can’t dance well words. Jongho-the main vocalist centers the second and third covers.
Ateez are a group who tells a story with their dancing. I think the best way to watch their dancing is full, fixed cam-as if you are in a theater watching them.
They can dance in sync perfectly (watch Aurora MV if you want to see them do a more typical bg bright dance style). However they were trained by dance crew dancers. Ateez prioritizes being in character and putting your character’s spin on the dance.
A perfect example-when your react to Halazia. Watch all their stage performances and note how they change up their dance styles based on costume. San is especially good. His stage character for when he was in fur and imagined himself a beast is very different from their last Inkigayo appearance when he was in a suit. But really you can see this with all 8 of them.
Other songs:
Answer
Hala Hala
Halazia (it’s like a movie)
Guerrilla
The Real (it’s like a mini anime movie)
Inception
Say My Name
Aurora
Celebrate
I suggest those last two because they are very different from the other songs.
I also really suggest you explore their B sides. Mist, Horizon, Sunrise, everything on Movement album.
Wasn't your fault that you assumed their dancing was mediocre, they didn't really showcase the dancing until nearly the end of the MV... I knew right away you would take those words back by the end of the video so I took no offense lol! Definitely check out their dance practices if you are ever in doubt, they always go 100%+! Great reaction. I hope to see more and will definitely subscribe!
Awh thank you for saying so! I definitely took it back haha and I love their dances practices. They are AMAZING and just mind blowing. Their intensity at times is captovating
@@atgnireactions5343 No problem! ATEEZ is my favorite group from the beginning! The story line is intriguing as well! My bias is Hongjoong, but I do love them all just as equally! All their MVs serve and I have not been disappointed yet! I can’t suggest one more than the other, but definitely watching them in order will help you understand the MVs a little more. I look forward to whatever you decide to do!
I can never not laugh at Yunho's beanie falling over his eyes towards the end and basically dancing blind for a second... lol (not at his expense, but just because that's very Yunho)
It was probably said about 500 times already, but San is the one that went hard! He's an absolute beast when he gets into something.
I noticed that when they need some crazy moves done, they throw it at San -
Need crazy bending? San.
Need to jump over a few people? San.
Need some high kicks? San.
Need a crazed, grinning expression? San ('Hala Hala' MV after the hat removal, the Halloween special MVs, etc).
Need a short battle of werewolves with some tense, aggro expressions? San.
(that was... very specific, but, if you're a fan of Stray Kids - look up the BTOB/Ateez/Stray Kids Kingdom performance collaboration called "Wolf" --- it was done on the idol/kpop competition show, 'Kingdom' - the three groups collaborated to be judged together and did very well).
He gets so into roles during performances and MVs... this includes the dance practices, just like this... the 'Hala Hala' dance practice, once again towards the end of the dance (and the close-up of his face in the actual MV), is what gave him the 'Demon San' nickname... (as soon as he throws his hat, you know he serious!)
I shall keep an eye out for Hat Throwing in the future XD Demon San... what a moniker to have!! He does go crazy hard at all times when performing
Has anyone else ever noticed the lights shaking and flickering whenever they hit their dance moves hard?? ATEEZ is one of the hardest dancing groups in KPOP ever imo.thanks for your reaction!!😄🎶✌
