- ATEEZ - STILL Underrated or Finally Getting The Deserved Attention?
2024 is shaping up to be the year for ATEEZ's global domination. Their talent and discography are nothing short of impressive, and they're finally getting the global recognition they deserve.
With a dedicated fanbase, a string of hit songs, and a growing social media presence, it’s evident that this talented eight-member group is on a meteoric rise that shows no signs of slowing down!
But is ATEEZ getting the credit they deserve, or does this boyband still fall into the underrated category of K-pop? Let’s have a look at how ATEEZ has defied the odds, from trainees at a small company to international stars, and whether they are indeed underrated or not.

still underrated. people be sleeping on them especially the koreans smh (for example: they don’t get talked about in a passing as easily as other groups in a forum or something)
I believe it's because all the boys group who became big, first they exploded internationally in popularity then became a hit in SK.
Ateez is receiving international attention now, so hopefully, their good days are ahead.
TRUE!
I thought most Koreans in general don't listen to K-pop.. still underrated as how
They are definitely starting to gain the attention they deserve but still underrated
On spot. 💯
No.. I definitely disagree with that statement...
@@user-pu1xu6yt8r idc. You have your opinion
@@user-pu1xu6yt8rok then you’re wrong
I feel like they were very underrated until this year. Clearly the talent has always been there and all the momentum they built up over the years finally came to fruition in 2024. They’ve hit so many milestones already this year -I think they’re finally gaining the recognition and popularity that they’ve worked so hard for!
It's definitely getting there. This year feels like a big turning point for them, but I also feel like it's just not enough yet. They deserve so much more than what they're getting. They are still underappreciated in a lot of ways even if the talent is just slapping everyone in the face.
@@frostbite2119 facts
No lie 🤭🤭🤭❤️❤️
An ATINY from 2020 here, ateez was so underrated since the beginning. They literally had their songs cut on music shows. they gained a lot of popularity after kingdom legendary war in 2021, they but tbh i dont really feel like they became famous until 2023 in bouncy era, and then in crazy form era. They deserved way better and the industry did them wrong fr
@@malinfelicia5140songs getting cut or not getting on shows is nothing out of the ordinary. There are just too many groups from small companies. It happened to BTS as well. I wish fans wouldn’t use it as something personal, it’s just an unfortunate reality. KQ and Ateez have overcome that and so much more.
Underrated, no but still ironically these boys don't get as much attention as they should
they deserve way more, although i must say as a morrocan fan and as someone who attended mawazine festival the amount of audience suprised me it was over 100k and in an african country where kpop is not considered that popular to see that amount of ppl that attended the show i was so proud , cuz imma be real with u alot of kpop grps wouldn't get that much screams in a show like that, i shall say proudly their views and wins and trophies are 100 percent deserved and earned for a grp that debuted in an almost unknown company i'm just so proud of my boys
YEAH! 👏
You guys were great! I watched the livestream and I loved the energy
I watched a vlog about the mawazine fest and there were other kpop songs being played there (by a dj?) so I was wondering if it is popular in Morroco? Atleast with the youth?
It's obvious that big companies are blocking them from Korea Broadcasting
They are underrated and not underrated at the same time. They debuted from an almost unknown company at a time when the scene was literally dominated by boybands like BTS and Exo but still, they made a name for themselves.
Of course they are still not getting the deserved attention but achieving what they achieved is also not a small deal
no matter the attention they might get right now and where they appear and such, for some reason i STILL cannot shake the feeling that they are Not Seen. there is still a LOT of dismissal around them, especially in south korea. it's crazy ! it's disheartening for many reasons.
I agree. They are ignored by a lot of the media in SK. For example hardly any Korean media oulets reported on the fact that they performed at the Mawazine Festival.
Probably because bthere is barely any media coverage and without that, it is impossible to be seen by GP. Big companies might be blocking their coverage.
They face an uphill battle in the western industry too, because kpop is just kinda put in a separate box and all the groups inevitably get compared to BTS or blackpink. ATEEZ might not become a staple of pop in the west but some radio play once in a while would be nice
kpop stans will say they hate the big 4 companies and in the same breath only care about big 4 groups. medium sized companies still have a spot albeit smaller but many small company groups never stand a chance with fans or the korean media
Unfortunately kpop is not just about talent and good music
THEY DESERVE MORE
I agree with most of the comments, they're not exactly underrated, but they are most definitely being slept on. Especially in Korea; I don't know what it is exactly about that specifically, but from Bouncy era to now there's been a significant increase in our boys popularity, I think them making more appearances outside of extremely mainstream American events , like Vmas for example, has helped push their performance factor to the public more than just your overly done "wow good looking singing and dancing Korean people" bs that gets thrown around. Even for them to be the first kpop act in Mawazine to their full collaboration with a Jpop group is something that feels more authentic to what music and audience they cater to and are truly inspired by. So they may not be sky rocketing to the top , _yet_ , but they're on a path that feels most true to them and us Atiny who found them and resonate with their sound.
I don't think Underrated is the right term. It's not a question of whether people think of Ateez of talented, it's are they as popular as they should be? Usually the issue is single sales. They debuted in 2018 and only had one song chart in the top 50 until 2023 - Deja Vu (which hit 49; The Real did hit no 14 but that was because it was from their appearance on Kingdom). On the other hand, their album sales have continued to grow from 100k for their debut All to Zero to 1.6 and 1.8 million for their last two albums this year. They still aren't the biggest group in terms of high charting singles but that doesn't take anything away from their success. Every one in Kpop loves to throw that term underrated around. For example, Mamamoo - they were called underrated for years (even now I hear it), but the reality is everyone in Korea knows how talented they are - it's just a question of sales and popularity, which isn't the same thing.
i agree. i mean they gathered a pretty decent sized fanbase since predebut, had their first world tour pretty quickly after debut which is impressive considering they're from a not so big company, had literally just debuted, etc. plus, weren't ateez said to be one of the most popular boy groups not from a big company? anyways, I think ateez has a pretty good popularity from what I've seen, maybe more internationally than in sk. but despite that, I think that's fine and I think they're doing really well for a group that isn't from a big company. and I love how much attention they've gain over the years, especially recently. it makes me so happy. just because they aren't big like some bg doesn't mean they aren't appreciated. maybe it's not enough for us but it's still smth :) let's not forget all the achievements and successes they've made like appearing on kingdom, their immortal songs wins, being the first bg to perform at coachella?? the titles they've been given, the praise they've received from non atiny and even other idols too and more ^^
I couldn't agree more to this statement you commented.. Amazing things keep happening for them, even atinys are shocked at times.. If most boy groups from the big4 had their fate swapped with Ateez they can never ever pull all this achievements..
@@user-pu1xu6yt8r Maybe Stray Kids could have, but they would be the exception. It was definitely risky going with a pirate theme - and if their songs had been disappointing at the start Ateez could easily have sunk, but that shows that great things can come from smaller companies. Mamamoo certainly proved that (although it took time) and DC has kept growing (remarkable since they started as Minx with a different concept and added 2 members), but it is still rare, and Ateez deserves all of their success. No, they aren't BTS or Exo, but then again, very few groups are at that level, but they still have a lot of success (their last four albums sold well over a million) and that is amazing for a group from a smaller company.
@@jamesrawlins735 hmm.. I quietly agree on this take because I once thought about it and could see a possibility.. but the difference is that their achievements would be a lot different than what we are witnessing on ateez side's.. There would/ could be this sudden hype and fall then slowly fades.. I've seen it a lot in promising k- groups..
I can still remember in early 2019 they were like 4-7 articles describing ateez as the group the will eventually fade away.. Some had already prepared their RIse and Fall articles but couldn't upload it..Look at it now.. they're still going strong..
They still underrated and extremely underappreciated, especially if we talk about how impactfull they are to the younger generation of idols and especially for trainee from nugu unknown company. They really are the hope for the smaller company.
The thing with the domestic popularity is that korean media outlets plays a huge role in promoting groups there, but as suspicious as it can be, when it comes to ATEEZ it's mostly crickets. There were many ateez moments in the past years that are viral-worthy esp in the korean media but it's ALL FRUSTRATINGLY QUIET. Not even this year where they have so many iconic milestones like Coachella and Mawazine. Like there has to be something going on behind the scene. How come an idol from a big company there becomes trending and the korean media outlets going insane and noisy over them just because they changed their hair color?? Meanwhile ATEEZ literally graced both the 2 largest music festival in the world and you barely get traction on it from their side. One of the Billboard journalist that mostly make articles about Kpop also shared that he finds it quite interesting that when he got interview in Korea, and he mentions ATEEZ, they got real quiet and they didn't even include them. Someone or something is definitely suspicious cause why is this only happening to ATEEZ???
On the spot. It was shocking to see how SK media outlets gave almost no coverage to events like Coachella's performance despite ATEEZ being the first boyband in the history of kpop performing at this event.
You said it all..
It's company privilege..
As someone who joined the fandom just before the "Firework Era" n "Kingdom era", i believe Ateez were still considered "underated" in 2020.
"Thanks" to their appearance in survival shows like Kingdom and their multiple wins in Immortal King, the K-netz got to know of Ateez more, as their fanbase was always made up of I-fans.
5 (almost 6 years) into their career and they again proof that even idols from small company can make it big with true talent and hard work ❤
#8Makes1Team
Ps : as a fan of B.A.P, BTS, SVT and Dreamcatcher, im so glad Ateez is doing so well
I became Atiny after the "Firework" era. I don't know if you remember San's viral video? I saw it and I wanted to know what his name is. Then I watched their mvs. I became Atiny. I didn't care about visuals anymore. I still don't. I love all of them equally.
Nah..😂 I get that it's your opinion.. but you talk like an old fan.. you abandon them that era I believe
I love ateez ❤
Hi Atiny
You are so right about them being unappreciated, i can't quite grasp the meaning of undderated if that means unpopularity, i think and notice that they are known but not appreciated enough by their home country but in the Western/International Side, they have strong and loyal fanbase, in every ages, and i notice how they are more appreciated in the professional side than many random fans
Underrated here implies that they aren't getting the recognition that their talent and discography deserve.
Their songs is so underrated ‼️💯
Ateez is my Number 1 Group. I love them soooo much ❤❤
Still heavily underrated 💯 comparing to their talent, hard work and the chemistry they have among each other. They be doing the most but still haven't gain the recognition they deserve. They way they practice (having to wear oxygen marks). Evey performance they do, they sing every lyric live, on top of the heavy choreography. They're also extremely funny
I totally disagree.. A group with all these achievements yet coming from a company with less privileges... Do the maths😅
Is anyone else cracking up about how the members names are pronounced in this video? Seriously though I still think they are fighting an uphill battle against the Big4 privilege. Despite their obvious talent, doors aren't opened for them so they have to work 10x harder.
the pronunciations were really annoying
Thanks for the feedback; being multilingual, pronounciation was off but in upcoming videos, we'll especially work on that
Damn....
Big point there bro..
Big4 push and push this groups but it's all crickets and cobwebs
They are underrated, Ateez has been the only group that have take my attention when it comes to kpop, because of the professionalism they have, combined with stage presence, dancing, live singing, work ethic and beyond anything else their good music and they always find a way to do only good songs… for me they are the most consistent and well rounded group right now and yes, they have gained some popularity already but Ateez as I have mentioned they have always been consistent since the beginning and still took upon till last year for them to get some recognition and that’s insane and when you think about what other kpop groups are out there right now (no taking away anything from the other groups cause there is so much talent) Ateez is the best on everything and still they don’t have a recognition that other groups have just because they are not from a big company. I know Ateez is going to get there eventually because they are so good but never forget that in order for them to became as big as they are right now (or in the future) Ateez has fight for their spot in the kpop industry. Their story reminds me a lot of BTS story and I hope they get the same success as well!
Why do many people write that they are underrated, if they have really received good recognition and will be even better in the future. They are the only male group of the 4th generation that got into the top 5 in terms of subscribers on different platforms and are not in big4 companies. Ateez were also at Coachella, their album sales are also good. They are gaining popularity, and it is extremely wrong to say that they are still undervalued/underrated.
The only thing I don't like is the lack of promotion of songs that could be very popular, in the new album it's "Siren" and "Blind" .It is also a minus and sad that they work very hard, for so many months in a row, starting from March-April , there is a Japanese comeback, then Coachella, after promotion with Work and trips to different shows, now they also filmed a collaboration with a Japanese band. I hope they will be given a good rest soon( I used a translator)
I guess it depends on where you are talking about because in Korea people barely know them. they've starting to get attention since Bouncy but they still have never charted in the Melon Top 100. Internationally they are doing very well though.
@@sanb1945 so it seems to me that they initially, after the bouncy comeback, aspired to the international market rather than to Korea, they have a lot of English in their songs and the sound is not for Korea. And there's nothing wrong with that ,after all, there is popularity and it is growing
@@LiyaY2000maybe with their lyrics having more english but I meant that they started to get attention in Korea with Bouncy (even though they didn't chart) bc a lot of people started doing dance challenges to them and they weren't doing that before and they did it for Crazy Form too. ATEEZ has always had international attention since pre-debut and I think it's good for them to try their best to go where they can make the most money, but I do wish Koreans listened to them more.
@@LiyaY2000 They also got popular overseas first before they got popular in Korea. I've seen some ppl say that some Korean Kpop fans and the media out there have remorse for them bc of this. This is bc most groups make it in Korea first and then work their way to become popular overseas but that wasn't the case for Ateez.
simple. they are not a general public known group
I still can’t believe how after all those wins people still sleep over them, they are talented as hell, they know how to actually sing, how to dance, how to perform, how to compose, have an amazing discography filled of diverse music genre, they literally have all the criteria of a good artist and still get ignored by many, it’s so sad and makes me think that K-pop community doesn’t care at all about that and doesn’t appreciate hard work, and notice how this all applies to groups out of the big companies….
Still underrated. I was so late to know them. I usually get to know groups through kpop pages or reels. They were never shown in either of it. It was a MAMA performance that made me shocked and surprised. I had heard their name (that choreo plaigraising issue)but never knew them. Then I took a step and got to know them trust me...I felt bad that they are not popular. If they came from big4, things would have been different. But I am proud of them for all they achieved this year. Im not saying they are not popular now...but all of this is late. I hope their fame skyrocket. They ar humble and hardworking...they will make it.❤
this is gonna be long lol but still underrated. im so so glad they are finally getting lots of attention especially with these huge events we are def getting somewhere and im so happy but its still not at all where they deserve to be imo. they are an INSANE all around talented group with rlly humble, genuinely funny chaotic personalities to go with it. everywhere they go people are gushing about how pleasant they were when they've left. i also truly believe NOBODY performs like they do... like they PERFORM perform facial expressions energy they give everything and more. they have a song for everyone vocal heavy slow songs, hype songs, latin inspired songs rock etc etc like... yeah anyway i wish ppl would dive into not only their music and b sides more, but them as a group entirely and as people. they have worked incredibly hard to get where they are and i love seeing them succeed.
long story short the work they put in all these years and mistreatment they have received will always make me feel like they deserve so much more~ but im thrilled about what they have accomplished this year, truly
They definitely deserve more recognition and popularity, but underrated is not quite right. I think they are seen as a threat - and that doesn't sit well with certain sections of the K music industry.
This‼️
they are under appreciated sadly, THEY DESERVE SO MUCH MORE
For the talent and performance they serve stills underrated. I know we have the conversation of "there's no next bts", which is yes i do agree so before armys go for my neck i meant they do seem like what makes the most sense and the perfect group to have the same sucess as bts, not to replace bts. They do have the same underdog story, a strong rap and dance line, a phenomenal stsge pressence almost everything perfectly lines up. I put my monry on i guess people these days prefer girl groups and they lack songs that could trend in tiktok
They have been incredibly successful, especially this year, however I still dont understand why they are often left out of the conversation about best vocalists or best dancers, o rappers too when they are an incredibly talented group with great songs. A lot of Kpop stans do not care about groups outside the big4 and that's evident when the achievements ateez has so far don't get mentioned as much as compared to these groups, they deserve wayyy more acknowledgement from kpop fans
Ateez are still going strong, they know they deserve more and it shows how hard they work
Unpopular opinion. I'd rather then be famous abroad and make more money. That way they can be chill in SK from all the wild knets constant scrutiny and the groupies if they were more famous in sk ( which doesn't bring ad much money btw). At least they can go around almost unnoticed in their country. Helps wtih private life
They are still underrated, orally they aren't but let's give them a few years they will
I definitely think they are getting bigger!! They are going on another World Tour! They are performing in more cities and they are performing in Tacoma Dome and a lot of Arenas because on the last world tour they performed in a lot smaller venues!! ATEEZ FIGHTING!😊
In my opinion they are not underrated but Unappreciated by korean entertainment itself..
Big companies might be blocking their coverage... because most media houses are on the payroll of big companies
@@noona-k I don't think the big companies are blocking them... the big groups definitely have been getting more promotion because that's how it usually goes. But, companies aren't paying media sites to silence ateez..

@@detergenthwachae Not robot voice :( multilingual voice artist so pronounciation is a bit off. Thanks for highlighting you; I'll consider everything in the next coverage of Ateez
So underrated
Not underrated I think people do know abt Ateez but many of them are sadly just casual listeners and they just know such a group exist. They deserve so much more.
In Korea they are underrated but internationally they are becoming one of the biggest group
I'm so proud of Ateez. 😊❤
they have gained popularity but still underrated. "from nugu company" reasons is bullsh*t actually. even they put up a lot of hard work, only few will acknowledge them/theyre skills esp from they own home country. its sad tho
I feel like ateez is one of those groups that have exceptional talent but no proper promotional strategies. Like they have so much potential to go viral internationally even with their all Korean tracks. Like they have many songs that can have a blockbuster MV but kq chooses to not make an MV. Moreover sometimes the song that is given an MV isn't really adaptable or easy to vibe with. Now don't come at me when i say that WORK was a good song but it was just missing that ATEEZ element in it. I feel like blind should've been the title track considering how many Spanish and latinos liked it.
One more thing is that SK is just not used to ATEEZ'S sound. Same goes for skz which are quite similar to atz. Sk either prefers girl groups or boy groups that have soft songs and don't go all metal rock like atz and skz.
Korea is sleeping on them still. And fans of other groups (won’t name names) continuously trash talk them and undermine their achievements. Things that are amazing achievements are reduced to “it’s just a festival” or “xyz would’ve been better” just because it’s ATEEZ and not their favs. As a fan since predebut, I’ve seen all the hate and refusal to acknowledge how talents these men are.
As a 2019 Atiny, I agree with this entire statement!
That's a thing of the past.. it was bound to happen... look at them now still pushing through with amazing achievements..
@@user-pu1xu6yt8r it’s not a thing of the past. It’s still actively ongoing. They’ve always pushed through and gotten their achievements.
@@chelle5413 I'm not compelled enough to agree with this comment.. There was a time for growth and change that needed to be done I'm saying this as someone that observed them during kqfellaz and the expedition tour, they worked hard but it wasn't enough especially coming from a full set nugu company.. The discriminatory treatment was bound to happen and that's definitely a thing of the past.. The media right now are just playing their cards and taking instructions from big corporations it's normal..
ATEEZ are writing the history that can never ever be erased..
Me and a lot of atiny are happy to see Ateez rise!! I’m ready for them to shine!
There are too many idol groups and it started booming from the 2nd Gen. And will be harder to achieve success if they’re from small or medium company. Before ATEEZ (my beloved ult group) I have been a fan to other kpop groups since 2009. The big 3 companies YG, JYP and SM are the most recognized ent. company in Korea. As they have big investment (money) every group was formed with amazing visuals and talent. Even their MV and promotions were perfect. So of course they were seen more than groups from small companies. I was a multistan and I love any group that has impressive talent and I came across many underrated groups. Even with small budget, they worked really hard to be seen. I appreciated that and I loved them. I have witnessed both fortunate and unfortunate fate. First, the group only has small amount of fans and promotions, so they never succeed. Second, they achieve success but just once and fall back from the beginning. Third, they succeed but the company misused their gain and loss everything. Then the saddest part is disbandment. It can be because of money and management problem. The surprising thing is I can see the difference with ATEEZ. They’re talented (in many ways), and confident. The company, KQ tried to invest the best they could on group formation, mv, music and promotion. Other than that, the members deep bond also visible. It’s interesting when I first listen to their songs. It’s meaningful as it relates to their group lore and their real life story. I was curious and tried to get to know them even more. I think they did really well even with many obstacles and they were probably underrated but now for me, not anymore❤Thanks for making this video as people (either fans or not) may see their journey and feel proud and happy for them.
They aren’t underrated but under appreciated
I think they were very underrated and they are just one of the greatest K-pop idols out there. Because these guys are different I mean their videos in everything they do is so unique. I'm so proud of them yes great potential that was always there. They're energy is amazing. I couldn't be more happier for these guys.❤
Imo after being an Atiny for over 4 years I would say that Ateez is not underrated anymore. They’ve reached a point now in their career where they are one of the most popular Kpop group in internationally and especially in the U.S. They have been gaining more recognition here in the U.S and I live in the U.S so that’s my perspective since I can can see the impact and success myself. Their tours, albums and merch are always sold out here, and they have been consistent on billboard so they are definitely popular here. As for domestic popularity yes it’s low and they have had a hard time getting the GP Koreans attention, but I think part of this has to do with them coming from a small company and big companies see Ateez as a threat so I wouldn’t even be surprised if they are trying to block them from getting more exposure there. They have fans there in SK, but it’s not big and the GP in general seems to not be interested in bgs anymore, which is sad. But other wise internationally Ateez’s popularity is booming, and everyone that is a Kpop stan has heard of and knows who Ateez is which says a lot. I think Ateez are just now starting to enter the peak and prime of their career in 2024. This year will be a pivotal one for them and I have high hopes.
They work so hardddd. I am obsessed
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this video.
I already bookmarked this and saved this video.
NO MATTER WHAT HATERS AND ANTI'S SAY ABOUT ATEEZ.
YOU ARE RIGHT! ATEEZ IS UNSTOPPABLE AND ATINY's RALLY BEHIND THEM.
NOT TO MENTION NEW FANS FLOODING VIDEOS, FOLLOWING THEM AND BUYING THEIR ALBUMS.
SO WHAT IS #ATEEZ ?
WATCH OUT FOR MORE....
Thank you so much for your positive feedback
Still underrated in korea, but they are prettyt big worldwide, aside s.korea, i want then to get that recognition in their own country, it also got sonething to do being an underdog and from mid company...i want them to recieve daesang and awards,s.korea still have 1 eye close on them,but im happy about where they are right now,i followed them since debut and no regrets
They still deserve more 😔 they work so hard 🤧 and are much talented than groups like stray kids txt and enhypen😢 I am not shading any grp becoz I am also fan of these grps but I think ateez are at their level or sometimes more only but they aren't that popular than them😢 it hurts me though 😔😭🥺
i could say they're the most successful nugu boygroup right now, the most successful group among the nugu stan as well
I personally think they are very underrated, for an almost 6 year old group, their popularity is less, and that's mainly because of non big4 ignorance by fans. One more reason can be how Ateez makes music not for mainstream but what they like. Though their discography is very diverse, it's still very enjoyable by general media, i don't get why people say they just make noise music, it's much more than that, and tbh their music is the best i've heard in kpop, they keep making something creative and that too with their own participation it's like people knwo Ateez have the potential to be the best but they ignore them just because of that
But i would like to add that this year their coachella performance has solidified their top position in the kpop scene, ig it's about time we see a huge outburst of their popularity because 1) their music is always top tier 2) they are booming in the international scene better now.
every achievement they're getting they deserve it and it's solely because of their talent, hard work and a stong fanbase, however they are still super underrated, not only are they not popular in south korea, they're not popular in the kpop community. the biggest proof of this is coachella 2024, they did amazing and everyone who tuned in had nothing but good things to say about them BUT all people talked about was how bad the other gg who attended did, nothing about ateez, not from kpop news/media sites and not from kpop stans themselves. ateez are arguably the biggest non-big 4 kpop group right now and one of the most talented newgen groups rn but they are blatantly disregarded all the time. i hope they get to be so popular one day that it will be impossible to keep ignoring them (thank you for talking about them, as almost no kpop channel ever does)
The whole Korea nation still don’t know they went to Coachella and call them flop
I agree with most sentiments here but I do believe that they’re being held back whether intentionally or unintentionally by Korean Media/organizations. I remember when they finally spoke how they met BTS and how BTS congratulated them after covering their song at the 2019 MAMAs but didn’t/couldn’t say anything about it for 2 years. Even Jeff Benjamin said he would mention Ateez in interviews and it would be automatically removed before posting. Even when they just started doing dance challenges, no big company idols interacted with them only groups from smaller companies that looked up them. I do believe that there is a strong for against them but ATEEZ just keeps moving on and I respect them for that cuz I know they’ll be able to overcome it all.
Something fishy in k-pop.
Also, many Korean media focus more on negative things (for non Big4).🦸🏻♂️
Ateez became the 1st k-pop group to perform in one of the biggest festivals (Mawazine). 💖
📛Mawazine 2024: "a real success", historic attendance with more than 2.5 million festival-goers.
"In this edition, the moments of sharing between stars and festival-goers were particularly intense, marked by... the electrifying show of ATEEZ."🦹🏻
🎬International media praised Ateez more than Korean media.
Maybe this is the reason groups with more negative publicity for at least one time are more famous in Korea. 💭
I hope KQ never do these types of negative things.😅
Even though it helps in gaining publicity, but it can affect idol's mental health.😶🌫️
Stan ateez stan talent ❤
They are definitely not underated, but i think in korea, they were there, but also not there? Like if they do concerts in Korea, it would sold out, but at the same time, their songs are not popular? Like come on, korean articles barely wrote them about their successful coachella performances, mawazine (despite being the 2nd largest festival in the world and having more than 100k audience) , billboard and uk charts. Like if they are from a big company, you can see those articles right away.
Altho i think they will be more popular in the next era, like in this era, they have gone alot of university festivals, popular korean YT shows, etc.
They get equal attention as Skz in my life.
2024 is the best year for both Ateez and atiny ❤
They're getting the recognition what they absolutely deserve but with their talent, acheivements and how great and good they are❤️🔥they're still underrated they deserve much more bigger than this...the fact that neitizens are ignoring just because they're from a small/medium company is just shit
They are not underrated just under-hyped. They get a lot of recognition but would absolutely get more if the general public would wake up and look in their direction.
9:29 Umm, that’s Stray Kids, not Ateez 😂😂
Editor mixed it up as he ain't into K-pop, and I miss noticing it 😔
The Korean gov't in 2020 awarded multiple 4th gen groups as leaders and they did infact include Ateez, Idk if they added Skz but I know they also included Gidle. Popularity wise I think the biggest 4th gen bg is Skz.
@@Shrekteez they didn't awarded skz. And we're not discussing in this comment who's popular and who's not. Ateez are crowned 4th gen leaders by the Korean ministry of culture and sports
@@Nimbuscoffeepaws I was mentioning the popularity because many think that the most popular = "gen leaders". Quick question, were they they only BG declared as Gen Leaders? If so that's awesome.
@@Shrekteez 난 한국인입니다. 정부에서 그런 상을 준다고요? 그런 상은 없습니다. 당신은 속고있다.
Im sorry, but the spelling of their names? 😭
and the pronunciation "hongjung" "yunhuh" "wooyoong" "seonghah"😀
HUGE SIGNIFICANT REASONS FOR THEIR UNPOPULARITY:
1. ATEEZ is a boy group
2. Ateez is from a nugu company. That throws away company loyalists who like supporting the company instead of the idol.
3. ATEEZ' discography on the surface doesn't appeal to the general public of SK.
4. The company doesn't take risks on promoting and pushing forward the visuals of the group that bring in visually invested fans. People still dont know who the visuals are!!!
5. KQ doesn't promote the most popular members.
6. The group is scandal free. There is nothing to critique or shame them. Their image is too clean and that doesn't make for good business. Being clean is not bad though.
7. The fandom is internally at war. Its mostly the solo stans with the issues.
8. The group is full. They have perfect vocalists, rappers, dancers, charismatics, and performers. It has recently become a trend to bash groups that lack in something
9. The company still hasn't found its primary audience.
10. The company doesn't like to take risks. They don't promote their songs properly. The easiest way to do this is through making music videos of multiple songs, but it's usually one and thats it. Like i don't mind, let them do them. But keeping songs in the basement and just promoting them on tour is bad bad bad business. There are so many songs of theirs where they confirmed music videos for and they didn't come through.
So many songs are in the basement: WDIG, Outlaw, Django, Dune, Siren, Blind, Silver light, cyberpunk, emergency, we know, sector one. Most of their songs had potential to go viral, but they just dont want to do so.
They should have taken the opportunity to make a video for DUNE when DUNE the movie had come out. That was free press just wasted.
And with Blind, its the same issue. Like whoever does their strategic planning should be FIRED because they make the group PLAY SUPER HARD instead of SMART. That's where the groups issue is. They work toooooo much and they get just a 1/5 for all the work.
All they need to do, is BLESS THE FANS MINDS VISUALLY.!!!! ITS THAT SIMPLE. but oh well....maybe in 2025.
Lastly, KQ should stop pushing them to go on tour every 6 business days.
Lastly, ATEEZ doesn't have a good standing relationship with the Korean media. And we all know that the Korean media is responsible for making most groups be accepted into the Korean scene. The symbiotic relationship hasn't yet been formed.
@@donttalk372 It will never be formed because ateez are from a small company with no big seniors that make it worthwhile for the press to build a relationship with them for.
A good press relationship is a transaction, "be nice and write a lot about that rookie so maybe the company will let you interview their super star seniors who will give you a lot of clicks"
If you look closely the press doesn't have any special relationship with any K-pop group beyond the big4 companies and as long as KQ has nothing more popular in Korea to offer neither ateez nor kq can change it, no matter how much they try.
There's a lot to unpack here, but let me tell you something important: the whole fandom seems to acknowledge that ateez come from a small company without understanding what that means in practice.
Ateez don't usually do multiple MVs (although WILL had 5! Because they were slightly lower quality) and don't promote multiple songs on music shows not because they don't want to take risks but because it costs money. MVs are ridiculously expensive and nowadays that includes advertising money because otherwise the views won't be as high as their "usual", music shows aren't very popular anymore, appearances there rarely bring new fans and as we recently learned cost a lot of money...
KQ isn't afraid of taking risks they are just on a stricter budget compared to big companies.
That's also why ateez tour a lot, it's one of the most profitable parts of the business.
We need to remember that KQ has only Ateez (as a profitable group) and started of in a financial deficit that they only overcame in 2020, they have a pretty slim yearly profit because what Ateez earns gets re-invested in their next comeback.
I think Atiny need to really think about it before requesting any extra promotions from them.
I know it's not a nice thought but looking at their financial statements Ateez are still the type of the group that is one long hiatus or failed comeback away from getting the company to the brink of bankruptcy again.
About tours... firstly, they earn the most while touring. Secondly, that's literally what they are best at. And last but not least, they only now started gaining attention in South Korea. There's a clip of a Seoul soundcheck where Korean atinys literally don't know lyrics to Wave aka literally one of their most popular songs. KQ knows Ateez' power lies in international fandom. That's why they are basically in Korea only to record and promote new album lmao
@@detergenthwachae I SAW A CLIP OF JONGHO'S RECATION, HE WAS SHOCKED AND SURPRISED. I was chuckling because that was the song that got them their emotional first win.
been seeing ateez get called "nugu" by THAT fandom😳 they do really see ateez as a threat
Their new viral songs are rated the most, older not much i think
speak as a person who recently started stanning them
It’s hard to say bc I’m not actually in SK. It was always going to be an uphill battle getting mainstream western recognition bc people who don’t follow kpop see every kpop group as another BTS or blackpink. In terms of their talent and their music they are incredibly well loved internationally and also (as others have said) by many rookie idols. In my opinion they should go down as one of the greatest groups of all time, but for now I’m just enjoying the ride
Ateez best boys!❤🎉
Hi - sorry - but the pronunciation of the members' names needs a bit of work... I mean, for example, it's "Yeosang" (여상) not Yuk-sang, and "Seonghwa" (성화), not Sung-kwa...
That said, you also forgot to mention their Japanese releases - aren't they one of the first k-pop groups to release Japanese singles that AREN'T just translations of songs they already had in Korean? But ATEEZ has a VERY strong Japanese fan club, and now releases a new Japanese single every 6 months or so at least (the first was "Dreamers," then "Paradigm," "Limitless," "Not Okay" - and now they also just released the collaboration with BE: FIRST, "Hush-Hush," a couple days ago.
Also, the mention of them "starring" in "KQ Fellaz" about training in the US - that makes it sound like it was an already-established show or something that they starred in, but it was actually more like a vlog they made during their month in LA, akin to the logbooks they put out now but with far less staff involved in its production. They literally didn't have enough beds for everyone to sleep on during that time and had to play a game to decide who got to use them; and KQ hadn't hired a choreographer for them to go train with exclusively in LA - they just flew there and KQ gave them a bit of money to literally go to dance studios and sign up for classes at a couple different studios so their days would be full of training, praying that they got there in time to secure slots to fit their schedule for all 9 of them (there was 1 more member at that time). They really were just taking the same dance classes anyone off the street could - but it was an incredibly smart way to use what little money the company had, because then instead of learning exclusively from one trainer for maybe an hour or two a day and then practicing on their own for the rest of the time, they got to learn from various teachers at various studios for entire days full of lessons, and it shows in their dance versatility (even if that's BRUTAL training).
Anyway, sorry - I just get a bit salty because there are certain fandoms that shall not be named that still like to imply that ATEEZ "actually" had WAY more help and insider connections than THEIR group has (even though said group is from one of the Big 4), and they use things like that webseries as their "proof," as if it was some glamourous show that was following them with millions of people watching, instead of the simple vlog put up by their company on a UA-cam channel that doesn't even post anything else anymore. I mean, the boys even had to go on the street with handmade signs to try to get people to come watch them *busking*, for Pete's sake (and were ecstatic when they met ONE person who actually recognized them!). So yeah, it gets twisted and misinterpreted a lot.
But I'm super proud as an ATINY, even though I only found them during the "Guerrilla" era - it's amazing how much is happening this year, but I'm still holding out hope they'll get more, like they deserve!
Thank you so much for the feedback; we'll be implementing everything in the next coverage of ATEEZ :)
What I see they are underrated in korea but outside atleast people love them, I can't believe I loved them in Era of bouncy but I love them more
they should be happy
I think they are still underrated in terms of music. They have the best albums. All the songs are great. Thats how i became ateez fan.
Make a video about co-ed group KARD❤
Noted
There not underrated but there not considered to have the attention they deserve, there in the middle
Frist off KQ had a different name back before it became KQ the housed a great kpop pop group called block b that’s why hongjoong wrote to them and you can see in old clips members from block b called them there little brothers.
9:29 that's stray kids in that clip ;; cut that out before the video blows up lol
hehe thank you for highlighting it; cutting wasn't an option so I blurred it
0:58 how did you pronounce Wooyoung? 😂😂😂😂
I’m happy about seeing a video about Ateez, but if you’re already spending so much time making a video it might be also a good idea to look up on how to pronounce peoples names. It’s a little step that would improve the quality of the video and also make the experience for the listeners better.
no hate but let's be real...it's the big companies blocking them.
They are getting some things they deserve but they still get cheated. When you think of things like festivals, Ateez proved long before big4 4th gen acts , that they can bring in bodies by selling out at tour 4 months after debut then sold out arenas 1 year after debut. The sold out arenas tour made them the fastest Kpop act to sell a 100k+ seat tour in the shortest time from debut in Kpop History. Who got invites for festivals, TV events like Dick Clark new years, Macy's parade etc, which are about bringing in bodies? big 4 acts who weren't doing what Ateez did. ATEEZ were even in New York during Macy's Day parade yet didn't get an invite and that year there was no Kpop act though big4 got invites previously . It's almost 6 years in and Kelly was Ateez first tv stage performance invite after we tweeted, etc for years to many shows while others got invites even many years ago. 2023 Ateez joined BTS and Blackpink as the Only Kpop groups to ever chart UK Official albums chart top 10. They actually were num 2 which even beat Jkook's solo album which was number 3 that year. So literally Ateez had the highest charting kpop album period for the UK chart. Who did MTV/Europe nominate for the awards? Big 4 acts that can't even chart well on the UK albums chart which is tougher than BB200. So explain how Ateez outdid All of Kpop yet big4 got the nominations? Ateez got Coachella and were the most talked about act yet Coachella not only copyrighted tweets that were already hitting a million views, they shut down twitt, tik tok etc. some accts had 60k followers and they weren't even warned. They copyright and had their accounts closed. All the hype Ateez had yet we had no fancams to keep hyping. Then Ateez were the Only Coachella act who's stage wasn't uploaded on UA-cam so interested people had nothing to see. They uploaded Ateez stage a month later when people had already watched the other uploads then moved on. Ateez made history on the UK chart with those 3 top 10 albums but I'm waiting to see if it's big4 nominations again for UK awards.
even if they don’t have as many fans as they should, they cannot be classified as underrated. I think it just the fact that they are known and praised, but just don’t have as many fans. That doesn’t classify as underrated, that just falls under people not stanning them ! underrated is mostly just no one even GETS their talent, which is not the case for ateez as of now. They used to be underrated, but I don’t think they are anymore
9:29 is this AI generated because why tf are skz there and why are they blurred
Editor isn't into k-pop and he mixed up the boys. I realised it after publishing so had to blur it :(
@@noona-k ohhh lol 😭😭
@@noona-k I thought it was random shade to Skz like “Ateez is better than these blurred people 😒”
Noooo 😭 We cover all groups and do not show bias towards anyone. It was an honest mistake...
@@noona-k it’s okay lol 😭
Please next time check the correct pronunciation of the names, it is not a good thing for the ears, but seriously no hate❤
Thank you for the feedback, Irene
@@noona-kur most welcome, I really enjoyed the video😊🙏🏻
"UNDERRATED" ain't the term.
:(
They aren’t underrated, they’re flops.
With that kind of hateful and disgusting attitude, you're the one flopping in life bud.
Sure buddy
Overated tbh.
i think they get what they deserved if we realised BTS is just crazy😂
what does this even mean lol
