Ateez lore: There are actually a lot of supplementary videos that explain the story better but here's the best explanation I've read to date: Ateez are pirates who were gifted that hourglass (called a chromer) which allows them to travel through time and between dimensions. At first, they are searching for treasure and having adventures, but eventually they run into these bad guys who have chains where their faces should be. The bad guys are from dimension Z, whereas Ateez is from dimension A which is presumably where we are as well. But there is another version of Ateez from Dimension Z called the Black Pirates (aka Halateez) who are the enemies of the no face guys. At first Ateez teams up with Halateez to fight against the no face guys. (They are the ones in the black hats in the MVs for Answer, Say My Name, and Hala Hala.) but eventually something happens and Halateez disappear (I'm not totally clear on this part) and Ateez ends up in dimension Z instead of Halateez. What they discover is that the (no face) guys are in charge of the government and they have brainwashed everyone in Dimension Z to have no emotions so that they can be controlled. Ateez sets up a subversive movement to take down the corrupt government and restore emotion to the people. To do this they use propaganda in the Guerrilla music video and chili peppers in the Bouncy music video. (Because apparently people can feel the burn of the spicy chilies and that helps reconnect them to feeling. They also smuggle weapons in the chilis). In this current episode (Crazy Mode mv) they need to finish taking down the government and get the heck out of Dodge. But the chromer is broken. It broke at the end of the Deja Vu music video so how are they supposed to leave? I think this is what Yunho and Wooyoung are working on in the lab. Meanwhile Jongho and Mingi break into the lounge where the high government officials do their business and start shooting things up. They other members are being rounded up by the government but they just have to wait till Jongho kills the leader and Wooyoung wraps up their plan for getting home. If you notice that in the beginning scene there is a crescent moon and in the final scene a full moon. Ateez can only travel on the full moon. In the extra scene at the end you see the full moon, but the pirate ship and presumably Ateez as well are gone even though they left the broken chromer in Dimension Z. In the song Halazia, Yeosang has a line, "little blue bird that list it's voice." I think they are using this as a metaphor for the people that lost their emotions (if you examine the other lyrics of Halazia.) At the end of Crazy Form you can clearly hear the bluebird singing as it takes to the sky. I assume this means that the bluebird found its voice and the people found their lost emotions. But without the chromer to help them travel will they be able to get back to Dimension A or will their new ship take them somewhere unexpected?
That is insane. This story is ripe for a cartoon, comic, videogame, or something. Thank you for the detailed information! We obviously have a lot more viewing to do to get the full story. Looking forward to it!
@@KPopOnLock I believe that I heard the leader of Ateez mention that they've supposedly found a way back to Dimension A because I believe part of the songs on the current album are based on Dimension A and Part Dimension Z. Honestly, I don't understand it barely but appreciated the explanation that I reposted. It really helps to understand Ateez videos.
That was two different guns😂 the one under the table is the military guy who is holding it. Jonho grabs his gun from Mingi that came to stand by him. It happened so fast, many didn't notice it
Keen eye! That’s one that you could probably watch 20 times without catching everything. I’ll definitely be going back for a closer look. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for featuring ATEEZ. The live performance is cool, so please pick up "CYBERPANK" as well. By the way, am I the only one who thinks the sound in the comments section is too low? Gentlemen, don't be shy, speak loudly (and adjust your volume). I like your quiet chatting style, but it's hard to hear, so I'm reading with English subtitles.
