Seonghwa: Are we close? Hongjoong: Moderately * some months later * Mingi: Think of a friend you're moderately close to Hongjoong: I can't think of anyone Mingi: Then think of a really close friend Hongjoog: Like Seonghwa? LMAO Anytime I see clips of Hongjoong calling Seonghwa (and only ever Seonghwa) "pabo" I'm reminded of a radio interview Ateez did. They were asked how would they tell someone they love them if the words "I love you" didn't exist, and Hongjoong replied "I would call the person I love "pabo". You might think it's an insult because it means "stupid", but for me it also means beind stupidly in love" and Seonghwa immediately called him pabo and made him giggle. (Btw on another radio show Honghjoong dedicated a whole ass LOVE SONG called Only Yours to Seonghwa saying "It's my message to Seonghwa"... the others were taken aback and pointed out that the song is very sentimental and listed some of the more emotional lyrics to make sure that's what Hongjoong meant, he said yes and that he loves to make Seonghwa smile; some of the lyrics go: "I will make you smile; you are my everything; promise me that you'll always be by my side; For you, I could give everything without regret; I belong to you; I was yours from the start; I love you; I need you; More than anyone else, you mean everything to me" ... I mean, come on! 😭) Another really funny dynamic they have is that Hongjoong messes with Seonghwa CONSTANTLY (by rejecting his couple agenda, saying they're not close to his face etc.) but Seonghwa messed with him ONCE (by saying they are awkward with each other) and Hongjoong went on live and pretended to cry in front of Atiny because "I thought we were best friends 😢 why would he say something like that? 😔" and kept going on and on about it Another time they had just finished a photoshoot and Hongjoong teased Seonghwa by saying: "I've spent all day with him. Now I want some space 😈" and Seonghwa replied calm as ever "All right ☺" and Hongjoong went: "... what do you mean ALL RIGHT?!👿" and tried to hit him 🙈🙈🙈 But rencently something changed and Hongjoong has been very affectionate, hugging Seonghwa, leaning on him, touching him, dancing just with him on stage, saying they are wearing "couple scrunchies" on stage in front of thousands of people... you could be watching a random video of Seonghwa and Hongjoong will suddently appear to fix Seonghwa's clothes or hair or just to hold his waist or lean against him Meanwhile Seonghwa is his usual calm and sweet self and if anything, he's now the one pulling back or not leaning into it as much. I think he never expected this day to come and doesn't know hot to react 😂 Hongjoong has started to change around the time they wrote MATZ together. I think spending extra time alone while working on something that was all theirs instead of having to worry about the team gave Hongjoong a new perspective on their friendship. Don't get me wrong, to everyone else, Ateez, Atiny, tv show hosts, interviewers, he's ALWAYS said that Seonhwa is his best friend, at times his only friend, the person he relies on the most, etc. (despite playing hard to get with Seonghwa himself), but now he's fully showing it to the public. Another thing that might have contributed to this change is Seonghwa's reaction to Hongjoong's birthday message. Seonghwa was on live and reading the messages the other members had written for him. As soon as he started reading Hongjoong's, he stopped himself, read it to himself a couple of times... and then started crying. The live was silent for a while as he used tissue after tissue to dry his tears. He then said that he was going through a hard time, that these words were exactly what he needed to hear, and that they meant even more coming from Hognjoong. Hongjoong's message was: "Quieter than anyone else, but like a peacock, when he finally spreads his wings he's more gorgeous than anyone else." I think seeing Seonghwa like that made Hongjoong realize how much his actions and words can affect his best friend. Seognhwa is the memeber everyone in Ateez goes to when they need comfort. But he needs to be comforted too. And it means even more when it's Hongjoong taking care of him.
At first I didn't really see the hype with Matz cause I kept seeing more woosan moments and yungi was more of my favorite ship but nowadays Matz has been SO LOUD. Like HongJoong has been subtly showing his affection for Seonghwa so much lately it's so cute😭
i don't think matz are underrated at all tho they just don't show it much which makes it real to me they ship is so famous because since i discovered ateez they were very known i think yungi ship is the one getting attention more lately than before tho
You can also react to two videos named Seonghwa secretly crazy about Hongjoong and other named Hongjoong is secretly crazy about Seonghwa
@@DarshiniS-js4du thankss maybe i’ll have a look!
@@sabrina.yaputama oh yes pleaseeee
Seonghwa: Are we close?
Hongjoong: Moderately
* some months later *
Mingi: Think of a friend you're moderately close to
Hongjoong: I can't think of anyone
Mingi: Then think of a really close friend
Hongjoog: Like Seonghwa?
