This was ATEEZ telling everyone that they don't need a crown to be called kings. They don't mean to be the final winners, but they will surely be the group who surprised everyone, stood out from the starting, made a place and name for themselves in this industry and their country. Now more people know about ATEEZ. They are being acknowledged for their fierceness, their hardwork and their desire to do their best. Hats off to the boys for all their hardwork and dedication. Edit:I don't Stan any of the groups in the competition. I am merely someone who watches the show for the performances. But ATEEZ definitely caught my attention. They have something special about them that keeps me wanting to come back to them again. Believe me when I say this, these boys are going to be huge.
Can't believe this ranked last coz ATEEZ really set their ground for their whole Kingdom stint. They laid out a story that was consistent until the end. And this was good, actually.
For me, Ateez is the busiest group in Kingdom. They did it while promoting "Firework" and now some of members debut acting on" Imitation", and now? They preparing new comeback and still show us their gorgeous performance. Respect, stay healthy ateez...
Coming from a family of musicians where "modern pop" is very criticized, I played this on a big screen for my family and friends, they not only loved it but now constantly listen to Ateez for musical inspiration. They truly represent, music, emotion and art coming back to us after years of monotone and numbing sounds on the stage. Hope this continues
You know when you were given a chance to have "no limits" for a round, most would take it as a hint to do anything in order to win the show. However, this group, ateez, went beyond that and surpassed the limitations of the show itself. They went out of the mindset of competition, and have realized their own definition of winning. Basically, they did not adhere to what the show, kingdom, was expecting of them but they instead went out to express themselves and their passion to those who truly matters... their fans.
Seeing their new comeback this makes a lot of sense to me. IMO, they had the Fever arc done by the time of this show, and everything they learnt from Kingdom, their experimentations, are reflected in The world album. Guerrilla is very different from the regular kpop and I think their Kingdom experience has something to do with it.
Ateez didn’t win but they for sure proved to everyone how creative they are…and really showed just how much stage presence they have. They created a whole storyline for kingdom and stuck with it to the end
“As our chant says, ‘8 makes 1 team’, that’s Ateez. If one member is missing, we can’t show Ateez to the fullest. With all 8 members, Ateez can be a whole team” - JongHo Imagine them being a complete team with Mingi… They will burn down the stage
@@iqbaler9911 he is on hiatus since November last year because of anxiety But he's getting better we saw him smilling 2 two weeks ago when he go with the other members on vacation 🥺💞
“It lingers in your heart” Changbin you summed this performance up perfectly. They were absolute monsters in all their stages but there’s something special about this one.
Ya!You are right.It been more than 3 weeks but I still love and watches this performance.But I'm also sad that why this performance scored last position.
This performance was truely amazing and touching. Mnet what why how on earth this got 6th place 😭😭😭 this performance makes me so happy and swell with pride every single time
2:22 its been almost a year and half since this performance came out, and im only now noticing the dancers during hj's rap are dressed in the previous performance outfits with 'halateez', thus the storyline connecting 🤯
I think that the judges don't like if idols try different genres. The same happened even when Stray Kids tried I'll be your man. These two and Mayfly Vocal unit performances will forever be a LEGEND....
@@zeenewstars7536 yeah I agree with you like same thing happened to stray kids when idols try something a bit emotional they place last which is weird tbh.
Whenever I write "I cried" in a comment before, it was just a figure of speech. But today I actually cried. Not because they received 6th place in the show, but because I could feel their convictions through the screen. I understand why they are doing this now. Watching Ateez on Kingdom has been an emotional roller coaster, I can't imagine what it's been like for them. They must be exhausted. But seeing Jongho throw away that crown just before the last part..... I don't know, I just lost it. I didn't know that a group of young people could touch me like this.
It's a feeling they passed on us... They've always been Sincere towards us like their Love for us, habits, personality and all. Despite all the hardships they have gone through they solved it together and let it go with smile. But now with all the things happening this kingdom war, ranking, all hardworks and response from other... It would have been hard for them... They're just someone I truly cherish... It's just hurt to see them like this.. That's just what I feel... It's hard to express it in words... But I believe you will understand what I wanna say...
Lets do our best to support them with streaming the full performance ,voting and streaming the new song .We are competing with huge fandoms ,but lets do our best to give them a good rank in the finals. This is our last chance ,let's do our best :')
I'm also not sad but the way every grp cheered for them I thought they will get a good score in self evaluation but they didn't get even a single point in self evaluation made me sad.
솔직히 1위까진 잘 모르겠지만 하위권 순위에 있을 만한 무대는 아니었음... 어쩌면 다행일지도. 에이티즈가 다 1위하면 형평성 어긋난다고 할까봐 그건 그거대로 또 골치 아팠을 듯. 내가 타팬이어도 쟤네 무대 볼 때면 내 돌 생각에 걱정의 한숨 나왔었음 ㅋㅋ ㅜㅜ 신인그룹이 너무 잘하니까...
I agree, I don't understand their ranking at all. All of ateez stages were beyond poetic with so much effort put into them. And they placed first a few times and did well during no limit so I don't understand their placement in the ranks either. I'm a stay and saying this. The other groups did amazing too but they had so much meaning and work in their performances that I can't not give credit when it's due 😟
Im a stay but this right here is a masterpiece. ATEEZ did so amazing they deserved better. 2 yrs later and i still cant get over this performance, just amazinggg!
Its not the end of the world if ateez doesn't win, they showed us so many great performances and their power to it, they clearly have a way to get the next big artists.
Jongho's vocals are literally incredible in all songs but here they're just indescribable. I'm legit sitting here crying because of just how beautiful and majestic his vocals are. And this is the umpteenth time i've watched this performance and it blows me away every time
ATEEZ really uses kingdom stages for their own actual storyline.. . . . Everyone who watched better stan first to fully understand what was going on NSNNSN REMEMBER TO GO TO FULL VERSION!
What makes me mad and so upset with their ranking here is that they used their OWN song and modified it with OPERA singing, which in itself is brilliant. Plus they did not use any "super popular" cameo for the views. They stuck to their storyline and kept it original till the end and they were very innovative with their stage. It was the most original and unique performance of that day! I couldn't help but feel that there was some biased judgment! Even if not the top, this performance by no means deserved the last!! I will always be mad about it and to me, Ateez won this round!! PS: It is so funny to me that the two grps whose performance I liked the best were also the grps who were treated the worst. BTOB and Ateez, it is so evident from the waiting room they were given!
I’m A Stay . I have my eyes on Ateez ever since Kingdom.. The emotions are just overflowing and I’m nowhere even close to what they are as a group, nor have any background about them but watching this for the FIRST TIME left me at awe . There is no DENYING THAT THIS PERFORMANCE WAS MORE THAN GOOD . IT WAS AN ART .. A MASTERPIECE I wouldn’t understand why most would call it confusing . There are alot of performances that are confusing in Kingdom so I don’t think that validates the fact that this performance got a last place when it could have been more
When everyone in the fandom was nervous because of the rumor of ranking in the 6th place, but Ateez's performance screams 1st place... [edit] Ateez ranked last place in both of the expert and self evaluation. PLEASE STREAM AND KINDLY PROMOTE THE FULL VER. OF THEIR PERFORMANCE, AND PARTICIPATE IN THE VOTINGS. Remember that this round is the most crucial ! ! !
@@areumnini8233 As what Ateez have said, they are performing for Atiny... Regardless of the rank they will get, the fact that fans and the other ppl who watched this appreciate the whole stage of our boys then that's all we need. We can just work on the views and votes, so keep it up Atinys!
I have no idea why but that last part was soo touching i actually cried..and I dont even stan ateez. I swear this deserves to be in the top rankings. It was just soo good. I loved it even more than their previous performances.
Thank you Sm! They took a bit of a risk bc only ATINYS can rlly understand the meaning and hints of the performance but hopefully the judges still give them a good ranking
@@rayanfarah3131 idk how to explain but a lot of things in the performance were in their mvs (the white masked ppl, the glass box thing, hourglass ect ;) and they connected them and kinda told a story
The white masked man is trying to get the hourglass,ITS called guardian/android from government And yeosang change the dimentionn before the guardian chase them (the intro in the box) The halateez help them to run and fight the white masked man while gaining their treasure But in answer they just remind what they fought before (you can see hongjoong's rap while the background is Wonderland and rythm ta) but in But ateez didnt know halateez is good before because they taught they r bad but in answer they just realise they r helping and they must burn (joining each other) San did a sacrifice for ateez to gain the crown Thats all i know so they win the fight in answer they got all the treasure (himself)
I can't describe how proud I am rn. ATEEZ doesn't do what others do and that's what I love about them. The performance was just awesome, everything was perfect! The best part about it is they performed this for Atiny. Thank you so much ATEEZ. ATEEZ WORLD DOMINATION!
The evaluators are ? as is. MNET remember. Good job to Ateez. As an iKON IS I feel you but so know many of us are just appreciating ALL the groups performances and know the rankings mean nothing. Virtual hugs.
i see the ending when jongho throws away the crown and stands alongside his members as rankings aren't the most important priority as singers, its your team and the bonding you get that's valuable.
이번에 본진이 다른 그룹이긴 한데 원래 뮤지컬 좋아했어서 이거 진짜 인상깊게 봤어요. 솔직히 말하면 이 경연 때 순위 왜 낮은지 모르겠어요... 성악이랑 종호님 보컬이랑 단체 안무랑 너무 잘 어우러져서 그냥 오페라 절정을 보는 느낌이었는데 뮤덕으로서 정말 이해 안됩니다... 특히 마지막은 히어로 영화 전투 장면 같아서 진짜 소름 돋았습니다... 너무 잘했어요ㅠㅠㅠ 에이티즈 에이티니 정말 수고하셨습니다! 삘받아서 종호 님이 멜론 깨는 영상이나 보러 가야지 히히
For the viewers who don't know the featured song: It is called "Ode to Joy" and is a german poetry. It was written by Friedrich Schiller, a very famous poet (was close with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, another great poet). The famous composer Ludwig van Beethoven took the text and incorporated it into his ninth symphony. So this is a very classical style and I love the boys so much for doing that. PS: I am german so it was kinda strange a the beginning to hear them sing in german XD
@@frozendotdot2805 The Word "Ode" describe an ancient greek form of poetry and is characterized by a particularly solemn and sublime style. So basically an "ode to Joy" is a poetry about joy/ happiness.
I dont care what people say.. Some say that this performance couldn't get any votes because it was for Atinys, some say it was confusing to understand, some say it didn't stand out, some say the remix wasnt good etc etc I legit dont care. This performance was soo SMOOTH. LIKE I LOVED THE COMBINATION OF SONGS. I LOVED THE OPERA SINGERS. NO OTHER GROUP BROUGHT ANY SPECIAL TALENTS. NO ONE DID IT LIKE ATEEZ IN THE WHOLE KINGDOM. They defo deserved to win for me. But I ofc respect the group that did win.
ateez doesn't care about rankings anymore because they know their ranking could go down bc they performed their own song.. but they still did it for us, atinys.. these boys are precious
That is the thing they likely knew that this showing was not built to over appeal to the judges and rather be a performance for us atinys to just love. Love that so much. If they wanted expert votes they could have just covered and brought in a well known group cover on answer and made it bang for experts instead. But i absolutely loved this rendicion.
And the fact that they incorporate a lot of there storyline they didn't even care if the judges don't understand they really did this stage for us and i respect them so much for that 🥺
as a German it was so weird suddenly hearing my own language during the performance. I was like "wait. I can actually understand what they are singing" xd
Yes, it's throwback to prove to us that every stages of them in all round of kingdom are their hints to their own storylines, so, all of the stages of ateez in kingdom are the canon of their own storyline.. all of the storylines connected to each other..
The fact ateez ranked last with a stage like this and consistent storyline through kingdom we all can tell jongho is right to throw kd crown to the floor
It was a very powerful presentation, but in kingdom they don't take that into account. Literally the last part of the song, when they mix opera with a bit of EDM, it took my breath away
They truly do love and appreciate their fans which is beyond beautiful 💜 its like being on this journey with them. Im a stay but ive come to learn im also an atiny. Ive come to love many of the kpop groups. You dont find famous people who actually fight hard to get to where they are and to appreciate their fans as much as kpop does. I love them all💜💜 im not as familiar with the group as others but i can only imagine the pain fans felt with mingi being gone and him have helping made this song and then hearing his voice on it. I had seen somewhere that the leader did the blind rap and rapped over mingis part to show it wasnt his voice on the recording. Im not sure how true that is but i do know this is the most beautiful song ive ever heard and i have sleep issues and it actually helped me sleep. Im just thankful hes in a much better place mentally now💜 this was beyond a beautiful performance i cant say that enough💜
For me, the ranking is not important in this episode, Ateez chose this song for us instead choosing the popular songs from popular groups. And at first, Ateez did not expect to win this kingdom, they just want people to know them and I’m so proud many people know Ateez now. This performance is for us and I’m proudly saying that this performance is a masterpiece. They sing live, they bring all from Ateez universe into this performance.
The backup dancers in hongjoong's part... They represented the different ATEEZ performances on KD, and Halateez were helping them the whole time 🥺... I've watched this performance like 28 times and I'm only just noticing this detail. WOW.
the lyrics of hongjoongs rap totally add to the message too he's telling them to remember their past, where they started, and all they've been through and the fact that they're showing that in the background gives me chills
Agreed, this is so emotional for atiny. Even i really crying everytime i watched this, they really love atiny so much T^T we must replace their love with do our best to them.. i'm so glad become an atiny, i'm so glad.... atiny fightingg!!! We can make them know that we really love them so much too.. ♡
The fact that they chose this song for ATINY made cry. I'm so devastated they got ranked 6th (which I've mentioned last week in the video preview comment) but ATINY, let's ASSEMBLE! We still have our chance to stream like crazyyy..Fighting!
ATEEZ KNOWS THEIR CLASSICAL MUSIC!!! Idk if it was intentional, but they used the 4th movement of both Beethoven and Dvorak's 9th symphonies in Kingdom to remix their music. The 9th symphony is both composers's last symphony, and the 4th movement is the final movement of both symphonies. It's some of both Beethoven and Dvorak's most well know work and a culmination of their lifetimes's experience. It is absolutely amazing how perfected they incorporated these excerpts into their own music. As a Kpop fan and a classical musician I've never been happier to see these two genres come together in such a magnificent display. Mad respect to Ateez for mixing classical music into Kpop in such a cohesive manner, everything sounds like they belonged together.
Crown is just an object... Doesn't matter if you are wearing it or not.. If your heart is clean, you are the king.. This is why ateez kept on throwing the crowns because they are already the Kings who doesn't need a crown...
I am so impressed with Ateez. They pulled a Katniss Everdeen here. This performance has a very deep meaning. If y'all didn't know Ode to Joy is a 'celebratory poem addressing the unity of all mankind.' The message became clearer when Jongho threw the crown. Kingdom is a competition that will only have 1 winner in the end and they outright went against this and said everyone is a winner, everyone did their best. They continued with this on the next round wherein they raised everyone's flags and just had fun. Mad respect for ATEEZ. I became an atiny after watching them on Kingdom and glad I discovered this very talented group. 👏👏👏
It's time to admit that Ateez is a future legend. it is not just a performance, it is a masterpiece and a miracle. Vocals, choreography, rap, their voices and emotions cannot be surpassed. best boys, go ahead, atiny is always by your side.
Let's be honest, Ateez was the group who outstanded the other performances (no hate towards other groups, all of them did great, all of them worked really hard, and all of their stage performance got me immensed in this show as well. But Ateez was just on another level tbh). They are just so incredibly talented. I still cannot get over their performances during the kingdom era😭
Jongho threw the crown without even looking back at it....... guys Music and art can’t be controlled or judged it’s a way of free expression and only those who understand and feel the message will find the significance of it
I’m veteran melody, but my favorite performance for this week goes to the Ateez. When the opera singers come in, they’re giving me chills. What a jaw dropping performance. And the main vocals (who sings along with Eungkwang, I don’t know his name) is the MVP. His vocals so powerful. Kudos Ateez.
The part where a choir people appears and sings, felt so victorious in some ways. They may be not on the top this rankings but to present such performance is superb. ATEEZ did GREAT.
Not even a fan but this made me cry for some unknown reason. I really felt their determination. Fighting, Ateez! Rooting for more success in the future.
Ok, but as a German native speaker I have to give HUGE props to la poem. They NAILED the pronunciation. Everything was understandable. That is professionalism. I never heard of them before, but this is insane! (Ofc nevermind their insane voices) this was EPIC!!
Couldn't believe it when I suddenly heard German mixed in there lol There pronunciation was really spot on, the whole performance was incredible. Really came to love Ateez while watching Kingdom
I think there’s meaning when Jongho threw the crown not gonna lie. This performance is to the fans and to me as a fan it seemed like they were reassuring us that their rankings don’t matter. Ya know what I mean?
I still do not understand how they did not get 1st place again in that week. Isn't this the real reason behind this competition? Being creative and experimentative while maintaining their core? They chose to sing their song in the most creative way. After all those 1st places and with a great mix up stage with other groups, I really do not understand how they were not chosen 1st place in this performance's week as well as in the competition as a whole... Nonetheless they proved that they will become one of legendary kpop groups in the history and I will support them in this journey. Go go go go ATEEZ!!!
Baby Atiny here and having recently watched so many of their performance videos back to back I can't get over their talent and can't believe they weren't on my radar before - they are amazing! Incredible performers, so much charisma. They are really pushing boundaries with the songs and concepts too. Respect.
This performance shows a really deep storyline, something only us atinys can understand since we know how ateez's concept goes. ateez really dedicated this performance for us, otherwise, they wouldn't have performed a stage that has a hard storyline for the judges to grasp.
@@annikahearts4467 well theres a lot of stuff going on in the performance but too summarize, basically ateez were trying to save themselves by using the cromer to turn back time, the white masked men were after the cromer and also ateez which results into a war or smthn. It takes too long to explain but if you read the story in FEVER pt.2 diary version, you will really understand hehe
