We fck w Ateez CEO, hes a good father to them, he often gives them gifts, praises them for thier hard work and prioritizes their health. Not to mention he looks good for his age 😌
So True!!! Show me ONE! company that let her Idol go on 8 month hiatus for mental health reasons... He really cares about them and I love that so much!
They consider their CEO their father, and dont portray him as an arse. He pulled money out of pocket to send them to LA to train as KQ Fellaz. He keeps in touch with their parents, and refers to them as his sons. He hired a team of professionals for athletic care for the group, as their shows are so exhaustive. (They have personal trainers, health checks, etc.) When they are out touring and he is supposed to be busy on business, he will appear casually in the city to take them out to eat as if it was a "coincidence." When he attends their events, he keeps all of the spotlight off of himself, so the only times he is pointed out is by ATEEZ who have the crowd chant for him. (Chanting Daddy, having the CEO make a heart sign, etc.) In the photos of him with ATEEZ his body language is always that of an older brother. They look very relaxed with each other, and people have mistaken the CEO as being a family member or close staff member in the past! Members have mentioned, and been spotted, borrowing his clothes. He always gives them gifts suited to their styles/interests, and not just for birthdays/rewards! (I remember San mentioning his computer, headphones and electronics were gifts from the CEO. San didn't show it off when he got it, like the CEO was showing off. It was an offhand mention in San's live because he wanted to make sure Jongho took care of his headphones, as they were a gift.) Editing to add: CEO used to work at Stardom Entertainment. They had legal issues with not paying idols/trainees. (In court it was ruled fair that they weren't paid, and that the company wasn't at fault due to poor money management and more blahblah.) He "took" Block B and started Seven Seasons for them. KQ was just supposed to be production, but branched into idols with Hongjoong being an inspiration. In my opinion, this background leads me to believe he'd be very focused on fair pay. If I remember correctly, a big part of the reason he used his own funds to send them to the US is because he didn't want the company to take on additional debt. There have been reviews of their finances, and the "debt" KQ was in never tied to any documented loans from '19 on. There is no interest shown being paid from 19 on, and seeing as they debuted end of OCT 18, this means no bank debt at time of debut. That would mean they had a cash reserve to pull from. Despite not turning a profit, they never needed a loan and maintained the same operating funds. The analysis I've seen point to the CEO being the backer. It is believed he either used the $ he got from Sony purchasing shares early on, or that he took out a person loan/used his own funds. So in terms of payment- I'm fairly sure our boys are covered!
every interaction with ateez and the ceo is just so precious. im still surprise how others company bahave with their idol when is not kind or show trully care
Atiny present! From what I know, the CEO is not a terrible person. KQ has a motto when you first walk into the building that says: Humanistic Theory with an explanation about it and underneath that it lists 3 principles that KQ wants their employees / idols to abide by: 1) KQ puts people first, 2) KQ respects positive aspect of the employees, freedom and dignity, and 3) KQ members keep 3 principles of attitude (genuineness, emphatic understanding, and unconditional positive regard). He's known to gift the members presents, attends the concerts, and even if they don't do well, he'll still tell them that they did well. For instance, Jongho sang a bit out of key, and the CEO gave him a hi-five and told him, "Good job. At least, they know you're singing live". The members and staff are very close. You'll see it in the variety shows. Ateez always makes sure that the staff are okay too.
Yes! In a recent interview they said the CEO was concerned about how exhausting their bigger shows have become. He decided to approach it like ATEEZ are athletes and got them personal trainers, coaches and all the extra healthcare that goes into professional athletes!
❤❤❤ thanks for sharing this! For new Atinys, - the Jongho quote was from "leemujin service with Jongho" (ep 24) please watch it if you haven't. Our Vocal King deserves allll the love. - the comment above refers to the interview with Seonghwa & Mingi by Kwang Hee (formerly of ZE:A, 2nd gen bg)
Oh wow! They’re abiding by the humanistic theory used in counseling!! I thought it was a different theory by the same name but that’s honestly so cool!! I’ve mainly seen or heard this theory being utilized within the counseling/ therapy field, which I’m in school for so it’s nice to see how it extends and can be applied to other fields as well! It’s definitely a great foundation for the philosophy of their company :)
FYI as far as we know the CEO isn't an asshole lol. He's actually pretty reclusive and we've only ever seen him like twice. He's stays out of the spotlight but seems like a chill dude overall
A lot of Ateez performances involve acting unlike other groups, that's why it's different xD it's like watching a musical, especially their more recent tour.
23:23 As someone who's been a part of many fandoms before (bts and skz included) I can definitely say, if there is at least one thing NO other group (this goes beyond kpop groups) can top ateez on it is performance. Their performances are real performances, stage presence is unmatched, it gets SO intense to the point you get chills. Their versatility can go from being extremely fun to almost unsettling. That aren't known for kings of performance for nothing.
23:30 . Im sure skz and bts have great performances but what the og creator is saying, its hard to replicate ateez’s flavor and their way of performing.
@@wooshin0ri I don't think it comes from a place of competition, I feel it comes from comparing a new group to a group you already stan. I did it at first too. I compared ATZ with BTS, because I stanned BTS first and they were my introduction to Kpop. Then I compared SKZ to ATZ, as I stanned SKZ AFTER ATZ. Right now I know all 3 of them have their own charms and can't be compared.
he’s talking about stray kids and bts but i’ve never seen them perform in a theatrical manner like ateez? ateez stands out when it comes to their unique performances. you can’t speak on them and insert other groups without having watched their stages and concerts first…
I do really like his reactions but this is so true, I've seen tonnes of performances throughout being a kpop fan (started off as a huge army and became at stay at one point) and although they are amazing, not a single one has ever come close to an ateez performance, and I'm just saying this exactly how it is It's the reason I couldn't go back to other groups after getting into ateez haha
@@ben-down nigel thought that comment about their performances meant that “ateez are the best performers”, but that’s not actually what the author of the video meant. nigel doesn’t yet understand that when we say “no one performs like ateez” we don’t mean “ateez are the best performers” but “ateez have theatrical/ musical type beat performances that no one else in kpop rn seems to do”
Hello, army and atiny here. I am going to be objective regarding the issue of performances, it is not to disparage any group but among the three that you have named, ATEEZ has another level of stage presence. I don't know about skz so I won't talk about them, but I've seen all of BTS's concerts and I can say that what BTS does is more normal and appropriate for a concert than what ATEEZ does. BTS of course has a storyline, but ATEEZ takes it to another level. They not only include their storyline in the MVs, but also in the lyrics of their songs and even their performances. Maybe I don't know of another case, but I have never seen any Kpop group meddle so much with their history even in concerts like ATEEZ does, that's what makes them different and entertaining to watch over other groups.
23:35 this isn’t a dig at any other group. i ult skz, but ateez performances are fundamentally DIFFERENT. their performances are very theatrical and have a lot of lore. they act out their roles in the story as they performance. yes, skz and bts are great performers, but they have more “normal” performances compared to ateez’s theatrical performances
Very true the videos I've seen from the tour happening now are something I have not seen a sigular group past or present do at least on a tour for this many shows.
The difference between stray, kids,and Ateez is stray. Kids comes from a company that has money so if stray kids was to fail on making up dance moves and writing your own songs, the money would’ve kicked in and they would’ve had to help. That would not be the same for Ateez they had to work super hard and make sure that everything was almost perfect and what they did because there was no money in the company to back them up so failing was not an option
This. This is why I get pissed when people try to compare Ateez to Stray Kids. JYPE had enough money to support Stray Kids until they became successful. They are talented, but they also had a well-endowed safety net. Ateez didn't have this. Ateez's literal situation was every album could have been their last if they had underperformed. I know Stray Kids worked hard, but I am not impressed by their success. Ateez literally made KQ with talent alone. 🤔🤔
I think what she means by "its hard to imagine any other group putting on the performances ateez do" means less that they are objectively the best performers, and more that their style of performance is unique to them specifically, and thats why it would be hard to imagine another group doing the same. More of a, this is a unique concept and presence that only this group has and less of this is the best kind of performance that exists, because thats a completely subjective opinion. I would say as someone who has been a fan of kpop since 2016 and started out with bts, it is true that ateez have a unique air about them in their performances that isn't seen in other groups, but they're not the only ones. There do exist other groups who do well at sticking out in the sea of monotony, like skz and bts.
53:25 Yunho and Mingi knew they were auditioning, but they never mentioned the company by name. This is a recreation of their phone call together the night before their auditions (it's part of their current concert and leads into their unit song "Youth.)
I'm pretty sure the "no one performs like Ateez" type comment was referring to their concerts, performances, and such being full of storytelling elements, almost play/musical style (I'm not a stay or army but I don't think they do all that..)
23:34 idk I disagree like I’ve been to quite a few kpop concerts from different groups and while they all have been great, there’s just such a distinct difference between Ateez’s performances and the others. Their concerts are really so unique and theatrical, especially with the ongoing tour that they’re having right now! There’s really no other group out there that’s putting out the same type of show as them
I think i need to add a fact for 27:41, those 43.500 tickets are actually sold out in 2020, but the concert has to be postponed due to corona. That's why it makes them being on of the fastest rises Kpop artists!
I recently went to Ateez’s Toward the Light concert and, honestly, it’s not a tour to miss! I have seen BTS 7 times and Stray Kids 4 times, but Ateez, who I have seen 3 times, is on a whole different playing field. Stray Kids doesn’t really have a storyline like Ateez, so it’s hard to compare. I think BTS’s Wings and Love Yourself: Answer performances might be similar, but Ateez’s entire concert is more like a play. BTS has their VCRs between songs that help facilitate the concept of the concert or the lore, but Ateez has very few VCRs. Instead, they act out the parts between the songs live- they’re not just singers and dancers, they’re also actors.
She’s not saying that Ateez’ performances are better than other groups (although I feel like they are better than SOME other groups), just that their performances are unique and different from other groups because they incorporate their lore and storyline into their live performances. So Stray Kids or Ateez wouldn’t put on those same performances because they are specific to Ateez Story. For example, I don’t remember if it was the MMA or MAMA 2023, the performance they did for that filled in holes in the storyline that I had been struggling to figure out since The World Episode 2: Outlaw came out 6 months earlier.
Once you dive into Ateez's performances, I think you'll start to understand why the guide says as such. Ateez is mainly known as a performance group, and a group you MUST see live in person. There is a reason why Atinys, even in the comments here, hype up their performances so much and extensively talk about their talent. One watch of any concert and you can tell they are conveying a story throughout it. Just like their discography, their performances are grand and theatrical, as if you're watching a movie.
@@Kate_300 even with their height I always got them mixed up it took about 2 or months to know who was who lol and in BTS I always got Jimin mixed up with Jin and it took me longer time than ATEEZ lol
23:24 I've been to both BTS and Stray Kids concerts, both were fantastic but there's something about how Ateez weaves their lore and storytelling into their preformances that makes them one of a kind
new here, but you better buy a ticket for their tour that’s happening right now bc you are gonna hate yourself later when you’re further in your journey and have to wait two years to see them live. TRUST ME
yess More ateez 🙏😭😭 Edit: DW THEIR CEO IS NOT AN ARS HOLE!!! ( As far as I know), they're actually very close to him. Edit 2: all of ateez can speak a little bit of English, however the best English members i would say are san and hongjoong. You'll find hongjoong speaking most in interviews cuz he's the captain but he always makes sure all the members have time to speak
Let me say it nobody performs like ATEEZ in kpop (no disrespect to anyone else), they're true performers, I was tired of idols just giving smirk & pretty faces on stages. The thing I love about Ateez is they're always 100% into their performances & take facial expressions very seriously (tho they have got hate for it by kpop stans, I'm glad they stick to it). They don't care about pretty image, they care more about the emotion & art. That's why they, specifically San was called as the idol who raised the standards of kpop performances. They're one of the rare groups where each member stands out & add their own personality whether it's singing, dancing or rapping. And they all are constantly improving, I'm so proud of them!!
@@yrdgjf Wait, I'm an OT8 myself & I'm not saying that others aren't good. I'm saying that he was given the title, but Ateez in general are known as best performers. I'm just stating a fact, I'm not a toxic fan. And in fact, I do like them all, but my personal fav performer is Seonghwa.
@@yrdgjf I understand your point, but it was completely unnecessary to say that under my comment when I praised them all, plus we don't need to bring that negativity everywhere.
Saw them live in LA on the 20th, and omg, they were insanely good! Each member performed their hearts out and are worth every penny I spent to see them from several states away.❤
@Hello1234.. So loud! my fave part was the Guerrilla fanchant! The concert was so amazing. I hope you have the best time. Any seat is great believe me❤
once you will dive into their performances you will 100% understand why atiny say no one can compare to them (they truly bring something completely different)
1024 is their debut date Oct. 24 and 1117 is the fandom was created STAR1117 is a specific song composed solely for the FANDOM ATINY so basically before liking ALL their songs your Anthem is STAR 1117 and i hope you get to hear it too
as a stay who ults skz, I completely agree that both stray kids and bts are incredible performers.. but as an atiny I will proudly, and without any bashful meaning towards skz and bts, say that ateez is completely out of this world. I feel that their performances and their work is just so unique and different from most groups that it's at a whole new eye-catching level. I feel they represent an entirely whole new world of experience and creativity within all their songs, mv's and especially their performances. this is in no way biased nor am i discrediting or pushing skz, bts's or any other groups hard work aside, but there seriously is no group like ateez.
Same. Plus even if you listed every song from this video it would STILL equal just a miniscule *drop* of their total discography and other content/covers. 😅 It will take him literally the next multiple years to get to all of it.
When they say no other group can put on performances like them, it’s not to say they’re better than any other group. Just simply that Ateez’s performances are DIFFERENT in that they’re so theatrical and dynamic. These men are seriously actors on stage and tell a story. Ateez are known as the theater kids of k pop for a reason haha. There’s no other k pop group I know of that puts on performances like them.
I wanted you to watch the song clips SO bad. 😭 I really don't think it would have ruined much but would instead have helped you appreciate certain qualities they have. But this was still really fun. Thank you for looking into them more and I'm glad you seem to enjoy and appreciate them in many ways.
girl ion care what fandom u come from and what group you stan, there's just no one beating ateez when it comes to stage performances and thats a fact. liking their music or the group is completely subjective, groups out there def make more gp appealing music and are loved on large scale BUT when it comes to stage performance nobody is delivering like ateez does and its a completely unbiased opinion like there's no shame in admitting when there's someone actually doing better than your fave in one particular area
Hey Nigel I made a few answers to the questions you asked and some clarifications! Most people get Jongho and Yunho confused at first and honestly i still do sometimes, I was you can differentiate is that Jongho is shorter and more often has a more stoic face, also never gets scared. (he's not serious all the time however) Hongjoong does most of the talking bc he's the leader but everyone else speaks a little Ateez was the firs BOYGROUP to go to coachella, blackpink has gone before so they aren't the first kpop group. Im super excited for you to finally be exploring ateez fully after skz, just like me! They're such an amazing group and are so different to skz in their own unique ways. You're going to love them! (pls call yourself a babytiny lmao) (and the nickname lil raspy for mingi is priceless, you should keep it)
@@moonstar4586 Jongho's maknae side is on full display this tour. It's fun to watch the clips of him getting in water fights with Yunho on stage or riding behind the other members on those rideable suitcases during fancalls.
So when they say ATEEZ puts on a performance only ATEEZ can do...I view that as a stylistic thing. I noticed this in Kingdom when the groups did performances together. I love Stray Kids...they're amazing, but in that performance of "Wolf" I noticed ATEEZ's members sticking out (to me personally) because of their style. Everyone did amazing, but something is different that other groups don't do the same. Can I truly explain it? No lol It's style - not quality - not saying they're better than them. I find ATEEZ way more theatrical when it comes to performing and using every part of their body to express things all the way down to their fingertips. They're very detailed - even in their concerts. I've seen them live before and I get to see them next week again! Woohoo! 🥰
That's what I feel...when I watched them 1st time in Kingdom...They are very detailed in everthing...you can see they stand out more when performing...I watched Kingdom because of SKZ...after Kingdom end up become Atiny..
listen i know you are a huge stay and this isnt me saying they, or even any other groups dont perform well cause they definitely DO!!! but ..... ateez is just insane like its something you can only understand by really watching them and their acting and facial expressions the entire energy is crazy, etc like i know its hard to believe but its SO TRUE!! ive also never seen a group that loves and appreciates being on stage more than them. they are a phenomenal group in every aspect and i cant wait for you to get into those and the albums etc. i genuinely think they will surprise you even more! thank you sm for the reaction!
as you dive deeper into them performances you’ll be a able to see why atinys have such confidence on ateez’ performance skills 🫶🏻 like yes other groups do amazing too but their flavor and stage mannerisms are just something out of this world and just so THEM, specially with the theatrics being involved and their whole current concert being a full on theater performance with intense acting, live singing and powerful dances… kingdom was just a sneak peak of what they are believe us
Speaking about the Mingi and Watermelon/Chicken thing we have a joke about him being a black man or our african king and black Atinys have many comments of him being a: "Glorious african king" "Carribean man" "Was a black man in his past life" And we have even changed his name to "Songavious Malik" which refers to his real name "Song Mingi" Hes also very VERY attracted to black women, he was sad when he couldnt see Tyla perform (like depressed) and he is always flirting with black atinys and in concerts he even sat on the side that had the most black atinys and sat there for a while so he feels a big connection with us I guess. I mean if you ask me (A black/Carribean person) he died as a black man and woke up as princess mingki 😂
23:40 if you realllly wanna get into ateez you should stop comparing ateez to stray kids, if you keep doing that you’ll never see ateez’s true talent and performance! stray kids is an amazing group and ateez is an amazing group too! each group has their own unique style and personality and should definitely never be compared
if you're interested in watching Coachella there's a link to a Google drive where you can watch the whole thing as it was livestream instead of watching a fancam! 19:41 this is from their Towards the light: Will To Power Tour in Japan, it was filmed and broadcasted and there's also a link to that if you're interested as well! It is the same tour they're currently doing in the USA! 31:54 this clip of Hongjoon playing the guitar is also from that tour movie!
im not an atiny (yet) but ive got to say that their lore is one of my absolute favourites in kpop, and it actually makes sense (im a stay and can't for the life of me understand skz lore lmao)
@@arti_0325 theirs are confusing becuz there's 3 different theories of what their lore is about I read it on Reddit and 1 really stood out it's a Game Theory it makes more sense if you watch their teasers and trailers
It's perfectly ok to enjoy SKZ and ATEEZ performances for different reasons. ATEEZ has openly expressed they go for a musical concept, while it seems like SKZ is more focused on performing through their dancing in my personal perspective.
13:33 Rie Hata *is* called the queen of swag... She's a super famous artist and choreographer! They collaborated again for the hush hush MV this year, and danced together last year too at DUNK showcase here in Japan!
I didn't know how many atiny will agree with this comment but all a can say is kq are lucky to have ateez and ateez are lucky to have kq,edenary,bbtripinn and all the family members(they are completed each other) and atiny are respect all company members Including the ceo(he is best Ceo in my opinion).. Ateez dedication ,talent ,and hard work together with them make they are now......more succes in future ...for best perfomance things that for atiny and in my opinion Every group have their own color and that unique .....they not coming from big company make me more respect to them and their hard work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤....sorry for long comment😅
I also agree. So much that I think it was really destiny that brought all these people together. Without one of these 'people' factors, Ateez wouldn't be where they're now. Just one person as an example of fateful decisions - their photographer offered to shoot mvs in Morroco. 😉
Idk why you're talking about spoilers when you already heard half of their solos in this guide and you also watched plenty of mvs plus you most likely won't even remember which songs were spoilers
i feel like it's slept on, the fact that they could have disbanded after hala hala and smn (2nd mini album) because they were so low on funds. it all depended on the success of the album, and they were somehow able to stay together after that, and now they are a huge influence to new idols and dancers. i believe it was eden who was talking about it in an interview
Ateez performance really THAT different from others, i know that some groups do/tries the so-like theaterical performance in their own concert. But daily ateez stage is just the musical theater itself. The amount of acting and immersion is way different from usual kpop stage
23:31 Nigel , as someone whose ult is BTS and likes skz they are great performers but ateez performances are way different they perform and execute a whole story and their stage presence is soo good that they got hate ? For over performing ? I love their performances and for me they have the best
23:30 i think you're biased 😅 atz performances are on another level and i think you need to fully know all three groups to see that and make a comparison but each to their own i guess
What they mean by no one else being able to put on performances that Ateez does is that they make their own style and put their own touch. They don't copy and do their own thing. It's a strength that the biggest groups like BTS and Straykids have, namely, individuality and uniqueness. So, like when they covered BTS in an award show, they did it well but in their own style since no one can do BTS like BTS does BTS. Same way, no one can do Ateez like Ateez does Ateez
When will kpop fans stop comparing between ateez and skz or bts, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME, they do not have the same background , ATEEZ ARE different and I'd advice you to watch their stages concerts, performance before talking and comparing them ❤
Welcome to the world of ATEEZ, thank you so much for your incredible reaction, really enjoyed it. ATEEZ is definitely a group getting into they are unique and one of a kind and their performances and live stages is out of this world 🔥🔥🔥
I just wanna let everyone know that i'm going to their concert on sunday... i'm going to have to be scraped off the ceiling after levitating from their amazing performance lol
You definitely chose the right group. Becoming Atiny was the best decision I've ever made. I found them sooo late in the game and I regret it every single day. I'm finally getting to see them live in 4 days and I'm losing my mind waiting for it lmao
lol it does sound like those twin towers but its a set of tall towers in asia, the petronas. i was mad confused the first time bc like... those twin towers arent there anymore 😭 but then i put two and two together (no pun)
Thank you for doing this reaction, Nigel! Even though the spoilers were hard for you 😅. I hope you get to see them on the tour! It's ok if you don't know all the songs on the setlist. Enjoy!
also i know ur gonna get into all the stuff in this guide eventually but omfg i wont even lie it killed me inside everytime you skipped performances and solo covers😭
I've never watched ateez guide coz i just got to know them suddenly bc im in this kpop sht for lyf but anw I'm glad u reacted! I was able to enjoyed it too.
I'm an Armytiny and of course BTS is at the top in everything. But you have to give credit when someone deserves. Ateez my god has the best discography ever. Their both MVs and mainly B-side tracks are one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. It's the only group stood out to me after BTS.
We fck w Ateez CEO, hes a good father to them, he often gives them gifts, praises them for thier hard work and prioritizes their health. Not to mention he looks good for his age 😌
So real
So True!!!
Show me ONE! company that let her Idol go on 8 month hiatus for mental health reasons...
He really cares about them and I love that so much!

When i saw a length of this video. i just..okaey here we goao~ lets indepth
They consider their CEO their father, and dont portray him as an arse. He pulled money out of pocket to send them to LA to train as KQ Fellaz. He keeps in touch with their parents, and refers to them as his sons. He hired a team of professionals for athletic care for the group, as their shows are so exhaustive. (They have personal trainers, health checks, etc.) When they are out touring and he is supposed to be busy on business, he will appear casually in the city to take them out to eat as if it was a "coincidence." When he attends their events, he keeps all of the spotlight off of himself, so the only times he is pointed out is by ATEEZ who have the crowd chant for him.

Atiny present! From what I know, the CEO is not a terrible person. KQ has a motto when you first walk into the building that says: Humanistic Theory with an explanation about it and underneath that it lists 3 principles that KQ wants their employees / idols to abide by: 1) KQ puts people first, 2) KQ respects positive aspect of the employees, freedom and dignity, and 3) KQ members keep 3 principles of attitude (genuineness, emphatic understanding, and unconditional positive regard). He's known to gift the members presents, attends the concerts, and even if they don't do well, he'll still tell them that they did well.

You'll see it in the variety shows. Ateez always makes sure that the staff are okay too.
Yes! In a recent interview they said the CEO was concerned about how exhausting their bigger shows have become. He decided to approach it like ATEEZ are athletes and got them personal trainers, coaches and all the extra healthcare that goes into professional athletes!

For new Atinys,
- the Jongho quote was from "leemujin service with Jongho" (ep 24) please watch it if you haven't. Our Vocal King deserves allll the love.
- the comment above refers to the interview with Seonghwa & Mingi by Kwang Hee (formerly of ZE:A, 2nd gen bg)
glazing for a kpop label ceo is crazy
Oh wow! They’re abiding by the humanistic theory used in counseling!! I thought it was a different theory by the same name but that’s honestly so cool!! I’ve mainly seen or heard this theory being utilized within the counseling/ therapy field, which I’m in school for so it’s nice to see how it extends and can be applied to other fields as well! It’s definitely a great foundation for the philosophy of their company :)
@@hanishshkrright
FYI as far as we know the CEO isn't an asshole lol. He's actually pretty reclusive and we've only ever seen him like twice. He's stays out of the spotlight but seems like a chill dude overall
A lot of Ateez performances involve acting unlike other groups, that's why it's different xD it's like watching a musical, especially their more recent tour.
and Yunho and Jongho had lead roles in the Kdrama Imitation
Yeah, that was what i was thinking
yes this is what differentiates them from the others
23:23
As someone who's been a part of many fandoms before (bts and skz included) I can definitely say, if there is at least one thing NO other group (this goes beyond kpop groups) can top ateez on it is performance.
Their performances are real performances, stage presence is unmatched, it gets SO intense to the point you get chills.
Their versatility can go from being extremely fun to almost unsettling. That aren't known for kings of performance for nothing.
23:30 . Im sure skz and bts have great performances but what the og creator is saying, its hard to replicate ateez’s flavor and their way of performing.
True as someone whose first and ult boy group is BTS and also likes skz , ateez performances is one of the best ones
Their performances are a lot more theatrical
@@liviyung and they have a certain grandeur to their performances
why does everyone feel the need to compare them?
@@wooshin0ri I don't think it comes from a place of competition, I feel it comes from comparing a new group to a group you already stan. I did it at first too. I compared ATZ with BTS, because I stanned BTS first and they were my introduction to Kpop. Then I compared SKZ to ATZ, as I stanned SKZ AFTER ATZ. Right now I know all 3 of them have their own charms and can't be compared.
he’s talking about stray kids and bts but i’ve never seen them perform in a theatrical manner like ateez? ateez stands out when it comes to their unique performances. you can’t speak on them and insert other groups without having watched their stages and concerts first…
I do really like his reactions but this is so true, I've seen tonnes of performances throughout being a kpop fan (started off as a huge army and became at stay at one point) and although they are amazing, not a single one has ever come close to an ateez performance, and I'm just saying this exactly how it is
It's the reason I couldn't go back to other groups after getting into ateez haha
@@ben-down nigel thought that comment about their performances meant that “ateez are the best performers”, but that’s not actually what the author of the video meant. nigel doesn’t yet understand that when we say “no one performs like ateez” we don’t mean “ateez are the best performers” but “ateez have theatrical/ musical type beat performances that no one else in kpop rn seems to do”
Hello, army and atiny here. I am going to be objective regarding the issue of performances, it is not to disparage any group but among the three that you have named, ATEEZ has another level of stage presence. I don't know about skz so I won't talk about them, but I've seen all of BTS's concerts and I can say that what BTS does is more normal and appropriate for a concert than what ATEEZ does. BTS of course has a storyline, but ATEEZ takes it to another level. They not only include their storyline in the MVs, but also in the lyrics of their songs and even their performances. Maybe I don't know of another case, but I have never seen any Kpop group meddle so much with their history even in concerts like ATEEZ does, that's what makes them different and entertaining to watch over other groups.
WE ARE ROCKING WITH THE CEO. HE THE GOAT. Ateez call him “father”
23:35 this isn’t a dig at any other group. i ult skz, but ateez performances are fundamentally DIFFERENT. their performances are very theatrical and have a lot of lore. they act out their roles in the story as they performance. yes, skz and bts are great performers, but they have more “normal” performances compared to ateez’s theatrical performances
Thank you!!
Very true the videos I've seen from the tour happening now are something I have not seen a sigular group past or present do at least on a tour for this many shows.
agree
FACTS
literally
The difference between stray, kids,and Ateez is stray. Kids comes from a company that has money so if stray kids was to fail on making up dance moves and writing your own songs, the money would’ve kicked in and they would’ve had to help. That would not be the same for Ateez they had to work super hard and make sure that everything was almost perfect and what they did because there was no money in the company to back them up so failing was not an option
This. This is why I get pissed when people try to compare Ateez to Stray Kids. JYPE had enough money to support Stray Kids until they became successful. They are talented, but they also had a well-endowed safety net. Ateez didn't have this. Ateez's literal situation was every album could have been their last if they had underperformed. I know Stray Kids worked hard, but I am not impressed by their success. Ateez literally made KQ with talent alone. 🤔🤔
@@misspriss2482 Facts
I think what she means by "its hard to imagine any other group putting on the performances ateez do" means less that they are objectively the best performers, and more that their style of performance is unique to them specifically, and thats why it would be hard to imagine another group doing the same. More of a, this is a unique concept and presence that only this group has and less of this is the best kind of performance that exists, because thats a completely subjective opinion. I would say as someone who has been a fan of kpop since 2016 and started out with bts, it is true that ateez have a unique air about them in their performances that isn't seen in other groups, but they're not the only ones. There do exist other groups who do well at sticking out in the sea of monotony, like skz and bts.
53:25 Yunho and Mingi knew they were auditioning, but they never mentioned the company by name. This is a recreation of their phone call together the night before their auditions (it's part of their current concert and leads into their unit song "Youth.)
I'm pretty sure the "no one performs like Ateez" type comment was referring to their concerts, performances, and such being full of storytelling elements, almost play/musical style (I'm not a stay or army but I don't think they do all that..)
YES. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. FACTS. THEY ARE THE BEST
23:34 idk I disagree like I’ve been to quite a few kpop concerts from different groups and while they all have been great, there’s just such a distinct difference between Ateez’s performances and the others. Their concerts are really so unique and theatrical, especially with the ongoing tour that they’re having right now! There’s really no other group out there that’s putting out the same type of show as them
FACTS
absolutely
that's what I'm saying..... they're performance masters for a reason
💯
rill
KQ really seems like they're are family. Ateez speaks very highly of their CEO and staff.
The SPEED in which I clicked on this notification (so excited for him to get to the world series)
I think i need to add a fact for 27:41, those 43.500 tickets are actually sold out in 2020, but the concert has to be postponed due to corona. That's why it makes them being on of the fastest rises Kpop artists!
I recently went to Ateez’s Toward the Light concert and, honestly, it’s not a tour to miss! I have seen BTS 7 times and Stray Kids 4 times, but Ateez, who I have seen 3 times, is on a whole different playing field. Stray Kids doesn’t really have a storyline like Ateez, so it’s hard to compare. I think BTS’s Wings and Love Yourself: Answer performances might be similar, but Ateez’s entire concert is more like a play. BTS has their VCRs between songs that help facilitate the concept of the concert or the lore, but Ateez has very few VCRs. Instead, they act out the parts between the songs live- they’re not just singers and dancers, they’re also actors.
She’s not saying that Ateez’ performances are better than other groups (although I feel like they are better than SOME other groups), just that their performances are unique and different from other groups because they incorporate their lore and storyline into their live performances. So Stray Kids or Ateez wouldn’t put on those same performances because they are specific to Ateez Story. For example, I don’t remember if it was the MMA or MAMA 2023, the performance they did for that filled in holes in the storyline that I had been struggling to figure out since The World Episode 2: Outlaw came out 6 months earlier.
Once you dive into Ateez's performances, I think you'll start to understand why the guide says as such. Ateez is mainly known as a performance group, and a group you MUST see live in person. There is a reason why Atinys, even in the comments here, hype up their performances so much and extensively talk about their talent. One watch of any concert and you can tell they are conveying a story throughout it. Just like their discography, their performances are grand and theatrical, as if you're watching a movie.
Yunho is taller than Jongho. That was how I was able to differentiate them ❤
@@Kate_300 even with their height I always got them mixed up it took about 2 or months to know who was who lol and in BTS I always got Jimin mixed up with Jin and it took me longer time than ATEEZ lol
23:24 I've been to both BTS and Stray Kids concerts, both were fantastic but there's something about how Ateez weaves their lore and storytelling into their preformances that makes them one of a kind
Almost 90% of atinys confused yunho and jongho in their early days and I’m one of them so you’re good! 😭
@@xdrarry same
new here, but you better buy a ticket for their tour that’s happening right now bc you are gonna hate yourself later when you’re further in your journey and have to wait two years to see them live. TRUST ME
“So he can dance AND woop your ass” LMAAAOAOOOOOOOO
yess More ateez 🙏😭😭
Edit: DW THEIR CEO IS NOT AN ARS HOLE!!! ( As far as I know), they're actually very close to him.
Edit 2: all of ateez can speak a little bit of English, however the best English members i would say are san and hongjoong. You'll find hongjoong speaking most in interviews cuz he's the captain but he always makes sure all the members have time to speak
Let me say it nobody performs like ATEEZ in kpop (no disrespect to anyone else), they're true performers, I was tired of idols just giving smirk & pretty faces on stages. The thing I love about Ateez is they're always 100% into their performances & take facial expressions very seriously (tho they have got hate for it by kpop stans, I'm glad they stick to it). They don't care about pretty image, they care more about the emotion & art. That's why they, specifically San was called as the idol who raised the standards of kpop performances. They're one of the rare groups where each member stands out & add their own personality whether it's singing, dancing or rapping. And they all are constantly improving, I'm so proud of them!!
@@yrdgjf Wait, I'm an OT8 myself & I'm not saying that others aren't good. I'm saying that he was given the title, but Ateez in general are known as best performers. I'm just stating a fact, I'm not a toxic fan. And in fact, I do like them all, but my personal fav performer is Seonghwa.
@@yrdgjf I understand your point, but it was completely unnecessary to say that under my comment when I praised them all, plus we don't need to bring that negativity everywhere.

Saw them live in LA on the 20th, and omg, they were insanely good! Each member performed their hearts out and are worth every penny I spent to see them from several states away.❤
I’m seeing them soon as well 😭 though I could only get seats in the back, was it really loud? I’m so excited
@Hello1234.. So loud! my fave part was the Guerrilla fanchant! The concert was so amazing. I hope you have the best time. Any seat is great believe me❤
@@dr6959 thank you so much! I can’t wait 🙂↕️
once you will dive into their performances you will 100% understand why atiny say no one can compare to them (they truly bring something completely different)
1024 is their debut date Oct. 24 and
1117 is the fandom was created
STAR1117 is a specific song composed solely for the FANDOM ATINY so basically before liking ALL their songs your Anthem is STAR 1117 and i hope you get to hear it too
as a stay who ults skz, I completely agree that both stray kids and bts are incredible performers.. but as an atiny I will proudly, and without any bashful meaning towards skz and bts, say that ateez is completely out of this world. I feel that their performances and their work is just so unique and different from most groups that it's at a whole new eye-catching level. I feel they represent an entirely whole new world of experience and creativity within all their songs, mv's and especially their performances. this is in no way biased nor am i discrediting or pushing skz, bts's or any other groups hard work aside, but there seriously is no group like ateez.
When you skipp those spoilers, I'm always thinking that you won't even remember those songs 😅
same
Same. Plus even if you listed every song from this video it would STILL equal just a miniscule *drop* of their total discography and other content/covers. 😅 It will take him literally the next multiple years to get to all of it.
Same. I think he will never listen to some songs in the video, or he will take so long to get there 😂
no cause the constant skipping of the songs made me so frustrated, why watch a guide if you aren’t going yo listen to their vocal ranges.
@@sarashami8177 this 100% what happens with everyone who does this shit
When they say no other group can put on performances like them, it’s not to say they’re better than any other group. Just simply that Ateez’s performances are DIFFERENT in that they’re so theatrical and dynamic. These men are seriously actors on stage and tell a story. Ateez are known as the theater kids of k pop for a reason haha. There’s no other k pop group I know of that puts on performances like them.
I wanted you to watch the song clips SO bad. 😭 I really don't think it would have ruined much but would instead have helped you appreciate certain qualities they have.
But this was still really fun. Thank you for looking into them more and I'm glad you seem to enjoy and appreciate them in many ways.
girl ion care what fandom u come from and what group you stan, there's just no one beating ateez when it comes to stage performances and thats a fact. liking their music or the group is completely subjective, groups out there def make more gp appealing music and are loved on large scale BUT when it comes to stage performance nobody is delivering like ateez does and its a completely unbiased opinion like there's no shame in admitting when there's someone actually doing better than your fave in one particular area
Yunho & Jongho look so alike to any new atiny lmao 😭 we learned to distinguished them over time
10:54 CEO is an upstanding guy, they call him dad 😂 he treats them like sons
Hey Nigel I made a few answers to the questions you asked and some clarifications!
Most people get Jongho and Yunho confused at first and honestly i still do sometimes, I was you can differentiate is that Jongho is shorter and more often has a more stoic face, also never gets scared. (he's not serious all the time however)
Hongjoong does most of the talking bc he's the leader but everyone else speaks a little
Ateez was the firs BOYGROUP to go to coachella, blackpink has gone before so they aren't the first kpop group.
Im super excited for you to finally be exploring ateez fully after skz, just like me! They're such an amazing group and are so different to skz in their own unique ways. You're going to love them!
(pls call yourself a babytiny lmao)
(and the nickname lil raspy for mingi is priceless, you should keep it)
@@moonstar4586 Jongho's maknae side is on full display this tour. It's fun to watch the clips of him getting in water fights with Yunho on stage or riding behind the other members on those rideable suitcases during fancalls.
YAYY!! i’m glad you’ve joined atinys ❤
Loving it here 🥹
So when they say ATEEZ puts on a performance only ATEEZ can do...I view that as a stylistic thing. I noticed this in Kingdom when the groups did performances together. I love Stray Kids...they're amazing, but in that performance of "Wolf" I noticed ATEEZ's members sticking out (to me personally) because of their style. Everyone did amazing, but something is different that other groups don't do the same. Can I truly explain it? No lol It's style - not quality - not saying they're better than them. I find ATEEZ way more theatrical when it comes to performing and using every part of their body to express things all the way down to their fingertips. They're very detailed - even in their concerts. I've seen them live before and I get to see them next week again! Woohoo! 🥰
That's what I feel...when I watched them 1st time in Kingdom...They are very detailed in everthing...you can see they stand out more when performing...I watched Kingdom because of SKZ...after Kingdom end up become Atiny..
SO TRUEE!!
listen i know you are a huge stay and this isnt me saying they, or even any other groups dont perform well cause they definitely DO!!! but ..... ateez is just insane like its something you can only understand by really watching them and their acting and facial expressions the entire energy is crazy, etc like i know its hard to believe but its SO TRUE!! ive also never seen a group that loves and appreciates being on stage more than them. they are a phenomenal group in every aspect and i cant wait for you to get into those and the albums etc. i genuinely think they will surprise you even more! thank you sm for the reaction!
as you dive deeper into them performances you’ll be a able to see why atinys have such confidence on ateez’ performance skills 🫶🏻 like yes other groups do amazing too but their flavor and stage mannerisms are just something out of this world and just so THEM, specially with the theatrics being involved and their whole current concert being a full on theater performance with intense acting, live singing and powerful dances… kingdom was just a sneak peak of what they are believe us
Speaking about the Mingi and Watermelon/Chicken thing we have a joke about him being a black man or our african king and black Atinys have many comments of him being a:
"Glorious african king"
"Carribean man"
"Was a black man in his past life"
And we have even changed his name to "Songavious Malik" which refers to his real name "Song Mingi"
Hes also very VERY attracted to black women, he was sad when he couldnt see Tyla perform (like depressed) and he is always flirting with black atinys and in concerts he even sat on the side that had the most black atinys and sat there for a while so he feels a big connection with us I guess.
I mean if you ask me (A black/Carribean person) he died as a black man and woke up as princess mingki 😂
@@shakespeareangentleman 🤣
23:40 if you realllly wanna get into ateez you should stop comparing ateez to stray kids, if you keep doing that you’ll never see ateez’s true talent and performance! stray kids is an amazing group and ateez is an amazing group too! each group has their own unique style and personality and should definitely never be compared
I’m so proud of our ateez.. watching this made me cry like a baby 🤣🥹
Nah Kq ceo is not like other CEO’s . The ateez member even call him father, he also buys ateez watches/Rolex’s and gives them so many gifts randomly.

nigel: what is the blue house???
😭 oh my god
@@Nezumiin ngl that pissed me off a little 😭 like read the screen to find your answer! haha
if you're interested in watching Coachella there's a link to a Google drive where you can watch the whole thing as it was livestream instead of watching a fancam!
19:41 this is from their Towards the light: Will To Power Tour in Japan, it was filmed and broadcasted and there's also a link to that if you're interested as well! It is the same tour they're currently doing in the USA! 31:54 this clip of Hongjoon playing the guitar is also from that tour movie!
how could one find this gdrive link for coachella just hypothetically 🤔
34:57 They did two appearances on theKstarnextdoor with Jonathan that you would find HILARIOUS! Such goooood energy and has good subtitling.
I really think you shouldn't worry about spoilers as much as you do
im not an atiny (yet) but ive got to say that their lore is one of my absolute favourites in kpop, and it actually makes sense (im a stay and can't for the life of me understand skz lore lmao)
@@arti_0325 theirs are confusing becuz there's 3 different theories of what their lore is about I read it on Reddit and 1 really stood out it's a Game Theory it makes more sense if you watch their teasers and trailers
LOVE STRAYKIDS AND BTS BUT SERIOUSLY ATEEZ'S PERFORMANCES ARE DIFFERENT
It's perfectly ok to enjoy SKZ and ATEEZ performances for different reasons. ATEEZ has openly expressed they go for a musical concept, while it seems like SKZ is more focused on performing through their dancing in my personal perspective.
31:48 HE WAS AND I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO SEE IT LIVE THIS PAST WEEKEND AT THEIR LA SHOW AT BMO STADIUM 😫😫
the bubble gum bubble gum part i started cacklingggg😭😭😭
AND THE JYP “hes almost 80” PLEASEEEE
Becoming an atiny basically means joining the ateez cult😂
@@ravenmotionless666 🤣
I dare you to go to Ateez’s current tour and tell me a K-pop group that does performances like them
13:33 Rie Hata *is* called the queen of swag... She's a super famous artist and choreographer! They collaborated again for the hush hush MV this year, and danced together last year too at DUNK showcase here in Japan!
I didn't know how many atiny will agree with this comment but all a can say is kq are lucky to have ateez and ateez are lucky to have kq,edenary,bbtripinn and all the family members(they are completed each other) and atiny are respect all company members Including the ceo(he is best Ceo in my opinion).. Ateez dedication ,talent ,and hard work together with them make they are now......more succes in future ...for best perfomance things that for atiny and in my opinion Every group have their own color and that unique .....they not coming from big company make me more respect to them and their hard work❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤....sorry for long comment😅
💯 agree!
@@bronzepistachio 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I also agree. So much that I think it was really destiny that brought all these people together. Without one of these 'people' factors, Ateez wouldn't be where they're now. Just one person as an example of fateful decisions - their photographer offered to shoot mvs in Morroco. 😉
@@Ansi_Rev 😭😭
Idk why you're talking about spoilers when you already heard half of their solos in this guide and you also watched plenty of mvs plus you most likely won't even remember which songs were spoilers
i feel like it's slept on, the fact that they could have disbanded after hala hala and smn (2nd mini album) because they were so low on funds. it all depended on the success of the album, and they were somehow able to stay together after that, and now they are a huge influence to new idols and dancers. i believe it was eden who was talking about it in an interview
YOU HAVE TO WATCH ALL THE IMMORTAL SONG PERFORMANCES NEXT!!! PLEASE! IM BEGGING YOU 😭 THEYRE ALL SO GOOD
Agreed💯
@@christinamackenzie3492 especially The Black Cat Nero
Ateez performances is so theatrical that u would need to see it live
Ateez performance really THAT different from others, i know that some groups do/tries the so-like theaterical performance in their own concert. But daily ateez stage is just the musical theater itself. The amount of acting and immersion is way different from usual kpop stage
23:31 Nigel , as someone whose ult is BTS and likes skz they are great performers but ateez performances are way different they perform and execute a whole story and their stage presence is soo good that they got hate ? For over performing ? I love their performances and for me they have the best
the way i was crying and smiling the entire video....
Ateez def is the best kpop group when it comes to performances
23:30 i think you're biased 😅 atz performances are on another level and i think you need to fully know all three groups to see that and make a comparison but each to their own i guess
What they mean by no one else being able to put on performances that Ateez does is that they make their own style and put their own touch. They don't copy and do their own thing. It's a strength that the biggest groups like BTS and Straykids have, namely, individuality and uniqueness. So, like when they covered BTS in an award show, they did it well but in their own style since no one can do BTS like BTS does BTS. Same way, no one can do Ateez like Ateez does Ateez
OOOOOOWWWEEEEEEEE HOUR LONG NIGEL VIDEO? BRO YOU BEEN FEEDING US TOO MUCH WERE GONNA BE ON 600 POUND LIFE

ATEEZ, just a short time ago, did a collab with a Japanese group called BE:FIRST. It's called Hush Hush and it's amazing...check it out.
Welcome to the world of ATEEZ, thank you so much for your incredible reaction, really enjoyed it. ATEEZ is definitely a group getting into they are unique and one of a kind and their performances and live stages is out of this world 🔥🔥🔥
I just wanna let everyone know that i'm going to their concert on sunday... i'm going to have to be scraped off the ceiling after levitating from their amazing performance lol
They are playing at the biggest arena in Toronto on August 8th ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You definitely chose the right group. Becoming Atiny was the best decision I've ever made. I found them sooo late in the game and I regret it every single day. I'm finally getting to see them live in 4 days and I'm losing my mind waiting for it lmao
Welcome to our Pirate Ship😍😍😍😍 Ateez my big love 🥰
We’re definitely rocking with the ceo don’t you worry
lol it does sound like those twin towers but its a set of tall towers in asia, the petronas. i was mad confused the first time bc like... those twin towers arent there anymore 😭 but then i put two and two together (no pun)

1:01:15 okay Nigel- I see you 🤭 you almost sounded like Mingi for a second 😂
ArmyStayTiny here and you 💯 picked the other right group to Stan
also i know ur gonna get into all the stuff in this guide eventually but omfg i wont even lie it killed me inside everytime you skipped performances and solo covers😭
I've never watched ateez guide coz i just got to know them suddenly bc im in this kpop sht for lyf but anw I'm glad u reacted! I was able to enjoyed it too.
I'm an Armytiny and of course BTS is at the top in everything. But you have to give credit when someone deserves. Ateez my god has the best discography ever. Their both MVs and mainly B-side tracks are one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard. It's the only group stood out to me after BTS.
