Donating in memory of your brother to the Toledo Zoo Conservation. Atiny is here for you :) Sending you hope and strength and comfort.
@@leahb1178 thank you so, so, so much!!!
Thank you for reacting to Ateez! There is a saying among Atiny (Ateez fans) that you found them when you needed them the most, and I think it's very true. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much 🤍
Oh also I wanted to point out something a little cool, in Korean lore, a little blue bird is a representation of a high ranking military official who has been lost at war. So the lines in this song are basically kind of saying they can hear the whispers of a fallen war hero who the enemy thought they silenced. But the message, the movement, they started is actually echoing deeply in the hearts of those continuing the fight.
As you like fantasy and stories, ATEEZ wont disappoint you! While their storyline is purely fictional and mostly in scifi & fantasy style, they touch upon so many things that affect people in the real world and give a voice of those very real issues and feelings.
To give you a very short-ish summary (so some spoilers ahead):
-ATEEZ' has been telling this story since their debut 2018, it is part of 99% music, MV's, live stages, concerts, note booklets on physical albums, even reality shows!
-In the story, there are 2 universes (that we know of at the moment)
-The universe A is where the ATEEZ members live as regular humans coming together as a friend group who share a love for music and dance while dealing with their own real-life problems.
-Then there's the universe Z, where a totalitarian government sees human emotions as a decease and therefore has banned all art forms while brainwashing people who live without feelings. ATEEZ of universe Z are part of a resistance group called Black Pirates who try to overthrow the government. They use music as their "weapon" trying to wake up people and get them to _feel_ again.
-And there's a device they can use to travel between these universes.
-Halazia is telling the story from the universe Z. The word *Hala* is a reference to their earlier song "Hala Hala (Hearts Awakened, Live Alive)" where we first meet the Black Pirates aka Halateez, as we call the universe Z version of ATEEZ. And *zia* seems to be originally from Latin, meaning "light" or "splendor". So it's Hala+Zia.
Also all ATEEZ' are amazing dancers and especially performers, you should definitely watch a live version of Halazia! Tho from the 3 people you thought were the main dancers only 1 is, but they don't really have that clearly defined roles as some groups do, especially not nowadays.
Much strength to you in a tough situation and take all the time you need for yourself and your loved ones!
This is the first time watching your content. I want to first extend my condolences on the loss of your brother. I cannot fathom your pain. Healing vibes sent. 💞 Secondly, thank you for this reaction. You have stumbled down the best rabbit hole ever. Ateez never disappoints. I look forward to your journey.
ATEEZ is amazing
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. ❤
ATEEZ stands for A to Z as in they have it all, so the first syllable is pronounced like the letter name A + tease. Their storyline involves 2 universes: A and Z. In universe A they're a modern take on pirates (treasure-seekers). In universe Z, their alter-egos, the Halateez (often portrayed in black clothes and fedoras), live in a dystopian world where they are fighting against their government which has banned all forms of art and anything that invokes emotion because they know emotionless people are easier to control. They travel between universes with a special hourglass called the Cromer. They've released 3 album series Treasure, Fever, and The World. The World is the most recent series and is based in universe Z.
This song is from the album Spin Off: From the Witness and is the story from the people's perspective. The words Halateez and Halazia both come from an acronym in one of ATEEZ's early songs, Hala Hala, which means Hearts Awakened Live Alive. Zia means light or splendor. So Halazia is what the people are calling those they hope will lead them from an emotionless world and take them to the light--a place of splendor where they can feel again. BTW, the scarecrow is a representation of the Halateez who had been working against their government but disappeared. In their absence, the people have almost elevated them to the level of God's and are praying for them to return. ATEEZ does an excellent job of writing lyrics that fit their story, but have a lot of real world applications. I'm happy to hear it was comforting for you.
ATEEZ does have three main dancers, but only one was in the dance sequence you liked (Wooyoung with the red hair). The other 2 are their lead vocal San wearing white (well-known for his incredible performances--he's also the one pulling the ball down) and Jongho, in black, their main vocal (widely considered the best male vocalist in Kpop's 4th gen). This is why we say every member of ATEEZ could be a main dancer in another group. The other 2 main dancers are actually Yunho who was sitting in a giant broken hourglass and Mingi, the rapper with orange hair. I highly recommend the MBC Performance dance practice--they don't play.
Here's a list of the videos I recommend for The World including storyline vids (because I really hope you'll react to them) :

On another note ATEEZ has a lot of comforting songs. I recommend Turbulence.
As always, a very thoughtful, insightful, and delightful analysis from you, Cedric! You are brilliant and I thoroughly enjoy your videos and insights.
I discovered Ateez 2.5 years ago when I was going through a really dark and scary time in my life. Their music has been a great comfort and cheer to me. I was blessed to be able to see them perform live TWICE last year - insane energy and humility! They are incredibly professional yet personal on stage. They made a room of thousands feel like an intimate gathering of valued friends. One of the songs that meant a lot to me during my season of pain, fear, and grieving is their song, "Sunrise". If you get a chance, could you please listen to it? I think it would be an encouragement to you during your current season. God bless and keep you, my friend.
Edited to add: For fun Ateez songs, I'd recommend checking out Wave, Say My Name, Wonderland, and Answer. Hala Hala is good too, but a little dark.
12:47 San actually hurt his knee during this part because he landed on it so many times but he kept going. He always puts 1000% energy into dancing and performing
First things first I wanna say in case nobody has today that I'm proud of you!! You're navigating things through a very hard time and I know its not easy. Follow your heart and keep doing stuff that makes you happy! :)
ATEEZ are a brilliant group!! I loved your analysis so so much it was lovely to watch and so insightful!! A few more songs of theirs I would recommend to you are Guerilla, Fireworks (I'm The One), and Cyberpunk!! (There are a MILLION good songs you cant really go wrong lol)
P.S. Gonna go check out The Coroner’s Assistant!! The clips you added looked super interesting and I'm excited to dive in!
Thank you so much. That’s so kind of you to see and say. I really appreciate it!!
I am so sorry for your loss! I hope you take the time you need for yourself!
I love this reaction to Halazia! Ateez is one of my ults and you are one of my favorite channel to watch. You always see different things in these videos than I see, even after my 10th time watching it! I really hope that you will fall in love with Ateez because that means we get more reactions of them from you;)
I just recently discovered Ateez..their song Bouncy is my JAM! Great to dance or workout to! ❤
It's my first time seeing you, but I really loved watching the whole thing. Tho Ateez have a deep lore going on in their MVs and you didn't had any knowledge about that, I believe one of the most beautiful thing about art is that it's always free for interpretation, your thoughts added a new perspective to it. If you want to know more about their lore, I suggest watching their trailers and Atinys (their fandom) have whole videos explaining their diaries (Like a sort of chapters in the form of booklet in their albums where we read about their storyline).
If you want to know more about them as a group & individuals, I suggest the ultimate guide to Ateez 2023. It's a lil' long, but it's the best out there, you won't feel bored too.
Also, they're pronounce as A-TEEZ, similar to ATEis or 80s. Thanks for checking them out, hope you continue! ❤
I think autocorrect got you--the fandom name is Atiny (ATEEZ + destiny).
@@flaggov6949 Ohh lol yes, thanks for telling
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my little brother when I was 16 and it is an unreal experience to lose a loved one🥺 God continue to give you grace through this.
Hi, thank you so much for reacting to Ateez and appreciating their work
Also the one with the deep voice you mentioned you liked is Yeosang
He gets the least lines out of the Group but he got some more in their most recent Releases
He also release a cover recently its called Hug me, so maybe that would be interesting to watch
Really good and insightful analysis and reaction. BTS are my absolute favourite band and always will be but I have to say Ateez are definitely a very close second, they are versatile and passionate, the way they perform is mesmerising and especially their facial expressions, no other group does facial expressions like Ateez. My daughter has seen them in London twice and she said they were absolutely amazing. 💜💜 I want to express my condolences about your Brother, even though the pain will always be there it will lessen over time.
Ahhhhhhh!!!! OMG I cannot wait to see this!!! 😍💕
Man I love reaction channels that don't just "react" but give some really great and detailed insights on things that I hadn't even spotted before. Also, I watch different youtubers/professionals reactions to hear their thoughts on the video, the music, the dances, etc. separately but what's great about yours was that your feedback was a mix of these things and not necessarily just one focus.
Hope you could do more ateez content in the future!
p. s my condolences🤍
Thank you for reacting to them, they deserve all the recognition for how talented they are. You explain things so perfectly and clear, the way they put work into their music and choreography is so incredible. They will always be my favorite group.
well, seeing as ive been watching your content ever since the first videos of getting into kpop, i can say ive waited a long time for 'my' Ateez, as captain would say :)
it was worth it so more, please!
You should watch them live it’s even more insane I love ateez sm
Yes, ATEEZ!! Also, I'm so sorry for all you've been going through. Bring the color back. Thanks for sharing your story and vulnerability.❤
You are in for an ABSOLUTE TREAT as you start to discover more about ATEEZ.
Your insight and analysis is really top notch and I cannot wait to see you absolutely take on some other classics from ATEEZ (Hala Hala, Wonderland, The Real, Answer etc) and some of their non-album songs and live performances (the songs from Kingdom: Legendary War). You will not be disappointed in what you will find within this group!
Good luck on your journey!
PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO MORE OF ATEEZ MVs. Its so amazing to analyze their lore like solving a puzzle. The next MV after Halazia that links to its story line is their song GUERILLA. i love your reactions btw, so thoughtful and well-explained
For someone who doesn't know any of the lore you really did a good job with analysis. This song is a "spin off" so it is only a reflection of the main story line, but you really picked up on the less in your face concepts for this MV.
I am so sorry for your loss. Many people say that Ateez finds you when you need them the most. I feel that is what has happened here. I hope their music gives you some strength as it has for a lot of us.
idk if it's possible, but to get a better understanding of ateez videos you should watch the trailers & teasers too since they're not from the MV but rather include different scenes that will gives the music video more context , I recommend bouncy next
Your analysis as it progressed with the connections to your grieving process for the loss of your brother was really inspiring and touching. It seems that sometimes we get a lot more than just the typical music video analysis from your video posts these days... and they warm my heart. We even get a few words of your wisdom as you go through this process too. It sounds like you are going through this process with a good perspective that it's okay to feel the pain and cry, if needed.. and the understanding that it will take time to get to a point where the days of understanding it all will get easier. Stay strong. We are here...
I'm sorry for your loss. This is my first time on your channel and I loved your insights about Halazia. Most of it is accurate. Ateez has a very extensive lore and it's quite complicated. They are fighting against a corrupted government which banned emotions and all form of expressions such as art, music, dancing. The government extracts emotions from people and they become those grey balls floating in the skin. The side effect is that gravity changed and thus destroyed buildings and prevented rain ( sand flowing backwards). Halazia mission is to take those balls down to give hope again. They succeeded in the end and the rain falls. That's just part of the story, each new comeback will give us more insights. It's quite complicated 😅
First, condolences for your loss. I also lost my younger brother in an accident, some time ago now. At some point, good memories will outweigh the painful ones, but it does take time. I remember how much the kind words of people helped ease the acute pain of our loss, and I know how difficult this period of time is. I hope you pass through this phase of grief to a better state and find peace in the end.
Second, I loved your reaction. Ateez are masterful storytellers, with a very rich lore that seems right up your alley from what you said about yourself. Hope you'll find time to watch and react to more, when you a feeling up to it.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart and my prayers go out to you friend, sincerely.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband also lost his brother 3 years ago to a horrible accident.
I saw these guys last November live! They are incredible performers! It was right before this song came out so I didn't get to see this one lol but everything they have is amazing. I got into them because of how well they dance. Their latest song is called Bouncy. You should check that one out.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. I have watched a lot of director/filmmaker/editor reacts videos to Ateez and you have the most informative and insightful analysis. I hope to see more Ateez reactions when you’re ready❤
Thank you for reacting to ATEEZ, they're literally the best. They're an all-rounded group, they can sing, they can dance, their discography is top tier, their lore is amazing and they're the kindest people out there.
I loved your analysis, please react to more of their songs!
I recommend Answer, Say my name, Wonderland, Deja vu, Fireworks, Guerrilla and their latest song Bouncy!
Their b-sides are amazing as well so if you're interested you could listen to some on your free time!
Letsss gooooo Ateez 💜💜
Hello Cedric! I’m coming back to you after a long break and I’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. I wish you and your family to stay strong and united. Tragedies like that take a life time to recover. Getting back to art probably is the best idea. Art is a great therapy.
I’m sending prayers to you and a big hug.
Much love,
Tanya from Tokyo
I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart is with you in this moment.
About the reaction, It's always SO cool to listen to you, honestly ESPECIALLY since you don't much about their story, you are just extremely media literate and read the imagery as it is presented. It's extremely satisfying. People for sure would recommend Guerrilla and Bouncy but from analysis standpoint I want nothing but for you to see Hala Hala, Say my name, and Answer in that order. You won't piece the whole storyline from it, it's very specific at times but I'm sure it would be awesome too follow your take on each MV and the connections between them.
My ATEEZ ❤
So glad to see you back, even if it's a video you filmed earlier. You have the capacity to bring so much joy to the world. I hope you will remember that. You taught me so much about how the director sees a project. I had missed almost everything you had called attention to. I haven't seen anyone doing reactions who knows and shares as much as you do. And like Dimash, you do it in such a cute way!
Boy, have I missed your videos! The amount of detail you pick up and explain is so impressive. I'll be patiently waiting for when you are ready to return. Take your time.
ohhhhh thank u so much for this video i loved it a lot and i am so excited to see more yes ateez songs always so meaningful and epic i recommend answer or guerrilla next i think u will really love them
im so sorry hearing about your loved one and i genuinely hope the feeling of losing a loved one gets at least a little bit more bearable and easier for you.. happy to hear that making this video helped you in some way to feel a bit better. i also lost someone when i first discovered ateez and they were my source of happiness and comfort kind of like a barrier in a way ? so it makes me real happy knowing that somehow some way ateez helped someone else feel a bit better with their music. wish you nothing but the best. sending nothing but positivity blessings, love and happiness your way ! ❤️
That ending for me when he was hitted by the ball is like a cleanser. Of all the hype from the beginning it ends on it how calm it is. It’s feels like a relief
you seem like such a joy to be around
I can only hope 😭
CZcams recommended your channel because of this ATEEZ reaction. I'm glad it did! I'm so very sorry to hear about your brother. That is a pain that shouldn't be. Just ... shouldn't be.
Thank you for the reaction into Halazia! It's one of my very favorite songs from ATEEZ (though, honestly, they don't have a single song that I don't enjoy. Seriously. I have NEVER found a song of theirs that I don't enjoy, and that's a rare thing.) You have a pile of comments suggesting other videos and orders to see more of the lore of ATEEZ. Definitely recommend that. Some of my favorite videos (and/or) songs: Wonderland. Absolutely Wonderland. Deja Vu, Bouncy, Fireworks (I'm the One), Cyberpunk (no music video for that one, but you can see a live performance of it). I am DESPERATELY hoping that they will do a music video for Django off their new album. It's tied with Bouncy as my favorite song off that album, I just love it. I also saw that someone mentioned watching live performances as well. Definitely do that! The Wonderland Halloween one is spectacular, even though Jongho couldn't dance that performance because he'd been hurt. He was still on stage to sing and his understudy dancer took his place in the choreography. Cyberpunk, as I mentioned, oooooh, and Wonderland from Kingdom! WATCH THAT ONE!! They were just down in LA last weekend for KCon and were amazing, as usual, and boy howdy, I am just word vomiting all over you. I'm sorry. ATEEZ and Stray Kids are two of my absolute top favorite Kpop groups and I will happily list off favorite videos to try to convince people to watch them so I can have someone to gush at.
(oh, and one more side note... if you want to experience a truly spectacular and amazing deep voice... Not knocking Yeosang in any way at all... Check out Geoff Castelluci's channel. He does deep bass covers of songs. I usually recommend watching his cover of Oogie Boogie's Song with his group, VoicePlay, or his cover of Elvis Presley's Way Down or Over the Misty Mountains Cold from The Hobbit, both of those last two are on his personal channel. VERY highly recommended.)
Seeing the Ember in the Ashes series on your shelf, TASTE
thanks for reacting to Ateez! I think you’ll love their other stuff too
I’VE ONLY READ THE FIRST TWO SO FAR BUT I AM ALREADY SO IN LOVE
You’re the first person to ever mention them haha they’re amazing!!!
@@CedricGegel1 if one’s books are visible, you best believe im locked on and forming an opinion
👀
@@Psymese.if.u.please it’s to be expected at this point
...*casually looking up embers in the ashes as next series to read/devour*
This just came up on my recommend. I’m not even 5 mins in and I had to comment! Within these first few minutes of the video you haven’t missed the story plot at all. I literally said out loud to myself “oh he gets it!”
You’re very good at what you do. Im so impressed already.
(I’ll probably be back to edit and add more comments)
Edit: not only do you get the sound of the bluebird at the end but one flies across the open space.
You nailed it. The song is about breaking a world free from oppression. They are in a dystopian world where the government has banned all emotion, creativity, art. They are fighting to bring back emotion to this world.
Their song Guerrilla is them first entering this world. It’s basically a preparation for war against this government.
My condolences to you and your family. 🌼🍃🕊
Sorry for you loss. Some good recommendations for more Ateez reviews if you would like .
Wonderland- great song and video not to mention popular so it will draw in many atiny.(the fandoms name)
Deja vu -it’s my favorite song and for a fantasy element they have a vampire version I recommend both
Inception - inception could be deemed a love song but it is such a refreshing take and I feel like it can be interpreted many ways. I like to think of it as a song less about love and more about that fine line between love and obsession
Turbulence- is a beautiful song and feels very hopeful and not many people review it so I think it’s a great one to review
Don’t stop- this one is my favorite music video it tells a clear and direct action/ heist story with some very cool shots
First and foremost, my deepest condolences for the loss your family has suffered. I can't imagine the multitude of emotions and grief you all must be experiencing. I hope that whatever high power or presence you believe in will give extra comfort to you during this time of mourning. I'm glad you are trying to honor your emotions. Grief is pain that demands to be felt or it will consume everything. Please take your time in your process to grieve and heal as much as possible.
This is the first video of yours that I have seen. It was an interesting introduction to you as a content creator. Your formatting seems to be different from most other similar channels I've watched. I hope you will continue to grow more and more comfortable in finding your style and presentation. I appreciate your analysis of the imagery. If you are someone who loves fantasy, Ateez is definitely a great group to start off with.
Ateez has one of the richest and most consistent lores of any group I've watched or enjoyed. It does get a little bit complex in parts because it becomes almost multiverse level in some ways. Without spoiling too much, in case it's a journey you would like to continue, the over arching theme of Ateez is that they exist in a world (or universe might be more accurate) in which people have their emotions controlled. The ones in power literally have citizens wear ear pieces to inhibit emotional responses and brainwash the masses by saying the emotions, individuality, and expression are harmful and bad. I'm assuming you've seen/read enough stories pertaining to dystopian futures that are along these lines. Ateez members are rebels. They want to break the hold of oppressive systems. Their primary method for doing this is their music (which is actually kinda perfect because music does modulate brain activities in emotion processing areas like the limbic system). Many of their music videos explore this battle (wins and losses) and in some music videos you see how alternate times overlap while navigating how to overcome the systems of oppression. The music videos will link to each other and at the end of the music videos Ateez will often play a small musical snippet of the next comeback song. I think one of my favorite parts about this lore is that Ateez, in particular the Captain (i.e. leader) Hongjoong is very much involved with it.
To give a little info on Ateez:
Hongjoong is the Captain (Ateez is actually a pirate group technically so they use captain instead of leader). He primarily raps. He's the first rapper you see in this MV. Hongjoong is heavily involved in song production for Ateez. Despite primarily being a rapper, he actually does have a lovely singing voice. He is also an incredible performer (1/3 of the "demon line")
Seonghwa is the equivalent of a first mate. He's like a second leader to hongjoong. He is a quadruple threat between being able to rap, sing, dance, and act a visual for the group very well. Seonghwa is actually also a huge fantasy fan and also loves Sci- Fi. Hwa is (2/3 of the "demon line"). In this MV he's the one with silver hair infront of the scarecrow.
Yunho - He's an incredible dancer and has a beautiful voice. He's very much a sweet heart and basically the human equivalent of a golden retriever. I can't remember if he's the tallest or not, but being able to bend and move for as tall as he is is incredible to watch. He's a very sweet and shy human being. Extremely hard working and earnest. In this MV he's sitting in the hourglass/ cromer.
Mingi - He's the second rapper you seen in this music video with the powerful and aggressive sounding voice. Mingi has incredible duality in that he's an aggressive dancer but also has the nickname princess Mingi because he can be sweet and silly.
I'm out of time currently but I'll try to remember to come back and add more later :)
I really love hearing your thoughts as you go through. I usually get frustrated at pausing but hearing what you have to say was awesome and very thought provoking. Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to Ateez and other bands from around the world. My condolences for your loss, I found Ateez and other groups that really tell a story when I was going through a very dark time myself, and I hope that you find some meaning within the stories that you see and listen to that help that processing and healing that I found within them.
Hands down my favourite ever reaction to an Ateez video. You covered everything and you come across as really interested and sincere. Nice work!
Thanks for reacting to Ateez 😊 looking forward to more Ateez reactions 😁👍
Son los mejores del K pop 4ta generacion 💕💕
Thank you for your reaction. It mustn’t have been easy for you.
Ateez is well known for their performances but once you dig a bit deeper, the lyrics of their songs, the message they spread is quite deep.
Some songs really speak to my soul and you are perfectly right: it’s all about feeling your emotions.
One day at a time isn’t their greatest song musically speaking but it’s my favorite because of its message.
I've been looking for analysis videos like these for a very long time and I'm so glad that I have stumbled upon your video. Probably one of the best videos reacting to HALAZIA I've ever seen.
YOU GAINED A NEW SUB! Please keep reacting to ATEEZ!! ❤ NEVER apologize for pausing the video while sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm. It's what we are all here for! I also love the notes you add at the bottom of the screen.
I'm also very sorry for your loss and I am sending my sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm glad to hear that ATEEZ was able to help you in some way.
Thanxx for reacting to our Ateez and im so sorry for your loss. Atiny is the fandom name. The best fandom in the world 🌎 💜 ❤️ 💕
omg this is such a fun reaction and analysis! one of my faves ever. thank you for reacting to ateez!
I love this reaction! Ateez it’s my favorite group of all time, please react to more of their videos🙏🏻🥹 All their videos are INSANE. Bouncy, Don’t Stop, Guerrilla, Im the one, The Real, Answer, Inception, THANXX, Say my name etc… I think you will enjoy them☺️
Ateez have such an amazingly deep storyline and lore. I've seen some others in the comments here do really good jobs describing the basics. My personal recommendation if you choose to continue for the story is starting next with the Fever pt 1 Diary film and then watching the m/v for inception, and continue watching all the m/v's from the Fever series albums, then starting with the title track m/v's from the Treasure series albums, then going into the title track m/v's for The World album series. There's also usually teasers and trailers that show storyline, especially during The World series. Doing it in this order kind of tells the story in the proper order, because despite the Treasure series coming out first, Hongjoong, the captain of the group, has stated that the Fever series is actually the beginning of their story, and the pt 1 Diary film specifically really starts it off.
I'm so sorry for what you have gone through and hope that you and your family can weather this time well. Thank you for coming back to share your thoughts with us.
I don't know Ateez well at all but have become obsessed with this video. Even though I've watched it at least 50 times, your reaction gave me new insights--you are very good at this and I hope that you can find a place in your life to continue with this kind of content.
My understanding is that the last section of their videos are teasers/trailers for the next music video, so may not be connected to what you've just seen.
First of all I'm so so sorry for your lost
I absolutely love your reaction ✨ Thank you so much for reacting to ATEEZ ❤️ and I hope you continue to check them out 🥰
Thank you so much ❤️
You got the meaning pretty well from how I understand it from my time learning about the group. In the group's lore human emotion is considered a disease to be eradicated. The guys in the group set out to use different methods to get people to feel again. You see it in Wonderland, Hala Hala, Guerilla, Halazia, and Bouncy (there are others, but those are some of the biggies). There's a wonderful wholesomeness that this band is actually helping a lot of us in real life get through some tough times.
I'm very sorry for your family's loss and I hope you can gain some comfort through us and your craft.❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. thank you for posting and sharing this with us
Him: what am i watching? what does it mean?.
Me: same bruh, i feel ya
Thank you for checking Ateez out! I love your view and insights about Halazia!!
wonderland would be a great fit for you. Thank you for a great review of our boys.. Ateez never misses.
this was SUCH an insightful reaction! loved every thought you had about it!
I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope life gets a bit easier for you. It really seems like you are going through a lot at the moment, but if anything, I admire your courage to keep moving forward regardless of the adversities. I’m sure it won’t get easier anytime soon or maybe even ever, but here’s to hoping. WIth that being said, I recently became a fan of ATEEZ and truly appreciate your analysis of this video. It was so insightful and educational in its own way. It really takes an artist to appreciate the details of another. This is my fave song/MV of theirs, but all of their music is sooo good. Thank you for this video. Hope the writers’ strike is fruitful. You all deserve it.
More like 8 main dancers 😂❤ thank you for the reaction I enjoyed.
my condolences, I am so sorry for your loss, thank you so much for giving ateez a chance ❤
Firtst and foremost, condolences for your loss, life will be forever changed but it is up to you how you move forward from here.
Secondly, ATEEZ are indeed one of a kind. KPOP is full of them. Leaders in what they do, examples are Straykids, BTOB and THE ROSE.
I personally find ATEEZ and Stray Kids make the best MVs. Neither group ever misses and because they are the best of friends, i turned from a STAY to a STAYTINY in a heart beat.
KPOP is full of gems, it is all i listen to now.
thank you for reacting to ateez! also im so sorry for your loss
Wecome to the ship of the #Ateez world, the 4th generation kings, I am warning you, once you are in there is no way back
Thank you for this thoughtful, thorough reaction! I really loved all the different elements that you analyzed! Idk if anyone told you this but some Atz MVs have prologue videos that provide additional context ( Halazia, Guerrilla, Bouncy and Inception have them) while at other times there will be a "teaser" end credit scene at the MV foreshadowing something. There are also "diary versions" of Ateez albums that come with a sort of novalized snippet of the storyline.
My condolences for the loss of your brother. May he rest in peace and may you and your family find hope and healing during this difficult time ❤
What a fantastic MV !!! 🤯🤯🔥🔥
I think you'll really love Ateez lore - also one of the members, Seonghwa, is a big Star Wars fan and does livestreams just building Star Wars lego 😊
Ojalá que tu corazón vea la luz que el dolor muchas veces apaga y no no se deja ver. ATEEZ nos enseña que no hay nada que no te deje avanazar y que de la oscuridad puedes salir a la luz con todas tus emociones.
Hopefully your heart sees the light that pain often turns off and doesn't let itself be seen. ATEEZ teaches us that there is nothing that does not let you move forward and that from the darkness you can come to light with all your
Love Ateez & your reaction. So sorry about your brother. ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace.
Love ur reaction ❤
I just came across your channel.
First let me say I am sorry for your loss.
Second I am a huge Ateez fan and really enjoyed your reaction to this video. I think there is definitely a lot of religious imagery in this dance and video.
One thing I love about Ateez is so many of their performances feel like a 3 minute mini musical. I think watching their dance practices or the full cam stages really shows the visuals.
If you want to react to more I suggest these:
Answer
Inception
Say My Name
Hala Hala
The Real
Geurrilla
Their newest song is Bouncy
They also have some amazing B sides-Mist, Not Too Late, Take Me Home (the stage is so clever and gorgeous)
New World
Still Here
Welcome, and thank you so very much 🤍
Welcome back!
i absolutely love your insights omg
Thank you so much for watching!!
Me encanta ver reacciones a los MV de Ateez . He visto muchos, pero si en realidad era la primera vez que veías este video y no conoces a Ateez, déjame decirte que pareces un Atiny nativo. Halazia, es una Obra de Arte, presenta esa lucha de encontrarse, tipo bien y el mal, el mundo distópico que Ateez nos entrega es su History Line, prácticamente retrataste en tú reacción, lo que es el mundo de Ateez. Créeme cuando te digo, que adentrarse en la historia, contada a través de las letras y los vídeos, es otro mundo. Lo que ves al final es recurrente en sus vídeos, y estará asociado a su trabajo futuro.
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray for you and your family, please take care and stay strong :(
Second, thank you so much for reacting to ATEEZ!!!! I just discovered your channel because YT recommended this video to me. I love/enjoyed the way you reacted to them in this video. I recently became a fan of ATEEZ like 2 months ago, and I have to tell you they're awesome and they are my favorite group! The way they're music is so much different and unique then other K-pop groups. They have just like full-on lore in their songs that is quite confusing for me to understand still, lol (I just found out about that yesterday bc I'm dumb. I honestly didn't know that's what they're videos/songs were about 😭). Their personalities are just amazing, and they are extremely talented. I really hope you consider checking out the rest of their music. If you do, then you'll learn to love them (trust me). They never disappoint!
I am sorry for your loss. It was nice to see you happy and enjoying all of this
Your watching a powerful message ❤❤❤❤❤❤
9:45 Yeosang has a gorgeously deep voice.❤
YESSS ATEEZ
this is my first time seeing your videos, and my millionth time watching halazia, but you still pointed out things i never noticed! i liked your reaction a lot, i think you would like ateez storyline if you kept checking out their videos :)
if you're interested in more ateez i'll like to suggest 'Dont Stop'. It has no Dancing and as an actor and filmmaker i think you'll like it very much
Great reaction! Would love for you to react to Guerrila and Bouncy! =)
liebe grüße und ganz viel kraft aus good old germany. ich fühle euren schmerz, die frage warum... vor 3 monaten musste ich meine mutter gehen lassen. es wird leichter, aber immer schmerzen. fühlt euch gedrückt und ich weine mit euch.
Hello! I really enjoyed your reaction to HALAZIA! Their videos recently have been very cinematic, which I love. I even have a special playlist because they are increasingly getting extra bits as well. If I may, here are some tips that I think will help you enjoy the production the most.
Firstly, here is my playlist: czcams.com/play/PLrYtmC4av4LKsf7Thjn9nKRtsV4jAGx74.html&si=XICydC1wX5agW0xy
Because of what you have been dealing with lately (my condolences) I do not recommend watching the Fever Diary Film anytime soon, it leads into a different music video/chapter of the story, and you've seen HALAZIA. The Spin Off prologue and epilogue belong to HALAZIA.
ATEEZ albums have been in series, Treasure, Fever, and now World. The World videos are the most cinematic and the storyline is by far easier to follow in this part of their lore.
Starting with "Wake Up, the World," the next videos set up the music video for Guerrilla. I really recommend them. They call them trailers and teaser, but really they are short films and lead right into the Guerrilla video. Always watch an ATEEZ video all the way to the end, there's often a scene there.
Starting with the Outlaw teaser, the story picks up a bit after the end scene of the Guerrilla video. The next videos were 30-ish second teasers for the album tracks, but the videos continue the story and lead into the Bouncy music video. Be sure to also watch the one that says it's the Official Opening Sequence as well, because in the MV only has snippets of it.
Just watching the music videos is of course fine, but as a storyteller and filmmaker, I think you will really enjoy and appreciate the extra little episodes they have given us.
Another very cinematic video they've done is Don't Stop. It's quite a good video, but belongs to a different company. If you react to that one I recommend lots of stopping and commentary.
Another ateez amazing work is guerilla & bouncy. Pleease react to others their MV too
Hello this is my first time seeing your channel, first I wanna say I’m so sorry for your loss and I know how hard it must be for you to try and go back to things you love after you lose someone, I was the same when I lost my mom last year and still I don’t think I’ll be 100% back but at least I can do things without falling apart so my advice is take one day at a time 🥹 as for ateez, they are the best, there’s so much to explore especially with their lore, when you think you can film again pls react to Guerrilla and The World Ep1 trailers and teasers, you will know more about their worldview, but I can mention two sources that will help: George Orwell 1984 and the movie Equilibrium 💕 new subscriber here bc I will wait you react to them 💕
