funny wooyoung caught your attention, he's the biggest jimin fanboy LOL also stray kids and ateez are besties they are both masters of intense, dynamic, and energic music, so it makes sense that they both stick out from other groups
Not to mention there are photos of wooyoung were you can see jimin in a specific angle, or maybe it’s just me but I swear I’ve seen a comparison and it was quite similar
I went deep into the Ateez rabbit hole 2 weeks ago and I'm not complaining. Besides their music and intense choreo, their personalities are gold as well. I'm so happy I get to see you reacting to them. 💘
"I am unwell" starts deja vu....I was honestly just like oh no she is in trouble right now. Deja vu is probably one of 2 of the most dangerous videos Ateez has for us. The other is Inception in my opinion, if you're interested lol.
I just realized I momentarily forgot about fireworks (I'm the one) that is another one that is very dangerous, so maybe don't do it at the same time as inception, unless you're in a good head space that day.
@@BeccaFaye1314 I'd say there are others that are equally dangerous depending on who your bias is, how strongly they affect you, and how strongly you get wrecked by others 😂 But heavens above, what a 3-pick for her to start herself out on...
a jimin biased getting attacked by wooyoung is no surprise to me, they both have very similar personalities like both are very affectionate and clingy, not to mention the fact that wooyoung is the biggest jimin fanboy lol
Such a cute, refreshing, honest reaction! I love it. Ateez is my ult group and it always amuses me when people first discover them. Because they are from a small company they have flown under the radar a bit and a lot of people haven't checked them out. But when they do, they are always shocked at how good they are and their level of talent which really makes my heart happy. Ateez is one of the most gifted, diverse artists in kpop today with a very distinct signature sound. No matter what genre of music they tackle, and they have done a huge variety of music, you will always recognize it's them because they don't sound like anyone else. I think it has something to do with how their producers are masters at using beat drops, change ups, vocal harmonies and instrumentals in their music. It just makes the songs stand out in a great way. They are known for being outstanding dancers and live performers and they really, really love being on stage. I think it's where they feel the most at home so as fans, we've had the privilege of getting a lot of great live stages from these guys. If you are interested in checking out more of their title tracks, I would highly recommend these: Say My Name, Hala Hala ,Answer, Wonderland, Inception, Thanxx, Fireworks, Eternal Sunshine, The Real, Guerrilla. As good as their title tracks are, their b-sides are even better. Some of my favorites are: Cyberpunk, Mist, Aurora, Utopia, To the Beat, Dazzling Light, Thank U, Dune, This World, Django and The Ring. I also want to note that as a group, Ateez are super funny and fun when it comes to variety shows and are well known in the industry for being very kind-hearted and sweet. They treat their fans so incredibly well which I am really thankful for. I could go on and on about how awesome they are but I don't want to overwhelm you. But I do hope you will do more reactions to them in the future. I would so love that!
The jimin to woo bias pipeline is so real lol!! You’ll fall more for him once you see his personality (same with all the other members) he’s the biggest baby girl, very affectionate, loves bullying his members, the kindest soul, etc. can’t wait for you to discover them more! they definitely are my ult group and I love them all to death!!
I saw someone already introduced the members but I’ll add on a little. The one who does the high notes is Jongho, the main vocalist and the maknae. The one that caught your eye is Wooyoung and yes he’s a big Jimin fanboy. Ateez is very prominent in many areas but especially their performances so yes I highly recommend you check out their dance practices (you can check out bouncy and Halazia first since you already watch the mv). If you would like to learn more about the members, you can also check out a guide. There’s one extremely long guide ‘The ultimate guide to Ateez 2023’. It is very long but also very updated and detailed.
The one with the high voice (Jongho) is the baby and, in my opinion, has one of the best voices in k-pop right now. Look up the video of him singing while breaking apples - you won't be sorry.
Ateez is a 8 member boy group with the label (KQ entertainment). They debut on October 24, 2018 with their mini album “ Treasure Ep 1: All to Zero” with their title songs ‘ Pirate King and Treasure’. The members are Seonghwa, Hoongjoong, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung,and Jongho. 1. Seonghwa (April 3rd, 1998) lead dancer, vocalist, rapper, visual 2. Hongjoong ( November 7th, 1998) leader, main rapper, vocalist, composer, center 3. Yunho (March 23rd, 1999) main dancer, vocalist 4. Yeosang (June 15th, 1999) lead dancer, vocalist, visual 5. San ( July 10th, 1999) leader vocalist, main dancer 6. Mingi ( August 9th, 1999) main dancer, main rapper 7. Wooyoung ( November 26th, 1999) main dancer, vocalist, visual 8. Jongho ( October 12th, 2000) main vocalist, maknae
I'm so glad you checked out Ateez! I can't wait for you to watch a guide and get to know them. I'm not at all surprised Wooyoung is probably going to be your bias since there's a strong Jimin bias to Woo bias pipeline. As others have said, the high voice is Jongho, the maknae/main vocalist and you haven't even fully heard what he's capable of yet
you have to hear inception! the vocals and everything is beautiful. also wooyoung the one you noticed is the BIGGESTTTTTTT jimin fanboy ever! 😭 he would prob cry hearing you say he gives you the same feeling as jimin. seriously 😂😂
I found them through their song Halazia about a month and a half ago and I have fallen down the rabbit hole!! I'm so impressed by them! The voices, the dancing, the stage presence, the looks,....but also their personalities! They are so precious, I can't...
something i noticed with first time reactions (including mine!) is how ateez seriously makes everyone feel HELLA overwhelmed😭 like when i binge-watched their mvs i just KNEW I had to stan.
Ateez have that incredible, unique, intense, theatrical style of performing, if you loved the MVs just wait until you see some live stages, they go so much harder :) Your new bias is Wooyoung, he's one of the main dancers but has a beautiful voice too. If you want to get to know him better start with these two vids - his Studio Choom Artist Of The Month performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xhoPI50W6i8.html and a concert stage of one of their softer songs, Mist ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZfO_ZbO1_Oc.html Or if you want to move straight to falling in love with him off-stage you can watch him on Baby Cloud (there's no coming back from this one though :)) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oioY7OiYpFI.html The high notes guy is the main vocalist (and the best vocalist of the generation) Jongho. About an hour ago he performed his famous OST Gravity live for the first time if you'd like to experience his amazing voice a bit more ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xYFu3dtw_i4.html He's so good he was invited solo to the Immortal Songs kings of high notes episode ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H1emOzW8ZBk.html Deja Vu was the first Ateez MV I saw and I think my reaction was similar to yours, my life was never the same after :D
The Jimin to Wooyoung pipeline is so real tho, I see it all the time 😂 I got into ATEEZ through their 2019 MAMA performance, highly recommend if you can find it. Wonderland is my favorite song of theirs. They also do a lot of Halloween performances of their main tracks ❤
That overwhelmed feeling is common on your first trip down the ATEEZ rabbit hole. It's like a buzzy sensory overload. I cackled like a witch the whole time watching this. The members always say how hard they work to put on a good show for their fans, that includes looks, vocals, dance everything. Wooyoung is my bias, and he's a walking ball of energy and love. Hopefully you get a chance to see come of their RU-vid content, their personalities really shine. Because despite them being immensely talented, their personalities are my favorite part about them.
Teeth man and white pants man in deja vu is Mingi and orange hair rapper in deja vu is Hongjoong and he and Mingi play a big part in there producing team that’s why they seem to have there own vibe. And another fun fact stray kids and ateez are friends
Welcome baby Atiny! So many recommendations for you😃. 1 Ateez at 2019 Mama awards 2 Wooyoung’s Studio Choom Artist of the Month 3 KQ Fellaz Performance videos from pre debut. Enjoy
I saw them in concert in Phoenix last November. Super hype performance, since you pointed out Jongho's vocals i wanted to share, that man does not need a microphone to project his voice in an arena! I had to actually semi shield my ears occasionally when he'd hit those high notes. Not in a bad way, it was awesome, but his voice is so incredibly powerful that it was *almost* too much! Ofc in the best way possible. My sons bias is also wooyoung, he pointed , probably not right at my kid, but it was close enough that my kid still tells everyone about it. (It was his 1st concert, and hes in love with wooyoung 😊 it was cute) glad you like them. They have some predebut dance performance videos you should check out. 💜
for me too the only group that hit hard (harder tbh) than bts is ateez. they became a safe space for me so quickly. the thing that made them stand out is their stage presence, their expressions are AMAZING.
the high note guy is jongho (the youngest) and the bias guy is wooyoung (pronounced ooyong), he's the second youngest...also if you like woo you should really check out some raw clips of his, his personality and aura are so cute, fun and contagious (babygirlism at its peak, I love him for that although I have no bias in ateez) and yes, ateez are currently one of the best dancers in kpop 4th gen (their performance aspect is surely the best tho, I mean look at the demon line) 22:49 that's hongjoong, the leader (and lead rapper) 25:08 that deep ass voice guy is mingi (main rapper) 25:29 yeah, they have a recurring pattern of putting some spoiler stuff in their mv ends which mostly hints to the next song, shows how much they have in store already produced Also, you should check out the ultimate ateez guide 2023, it's 1 hr 40 mins but totally worth it and actually really fun if someone wants to get into stanning this group
the ATEEZ things which will bring more mental break down:(just for your info)-just my personal favorites Wonderland (kingdom version) The real (official mv) Wooyoung artist of the month(christopher bad cover)
The one doing the crazy high notes is the Maknae and main vocalist of Ateez called Choi Jongho. The red haired guy rapping in Deja Vu is Kim Hongjoong the main rapper and leader (we call him captain though). The one with the perfect teeth and the guy rapping at the end of Deja Vu is Song Mingi, another rapper along with Hongjoong. I would definitely recommend reacting to more of them because their talent is indescribable and you will not regret it. Atiny's (Ateez fans) say not without a reason that Ateez has 8 visuals, 8 dancers and 8 vocalists because they all are just too good at all these things. Even the rappers can sing beautifully. They are crazy performers with insane stage presence, a stage is never boring when they're on it and they just keep getting better and better. Their personalities are absolutely beautiful as well.
Because you like StrayKids and Ateez, you should go back and watch Kingdom: Legendary war. Where 6 boy groups (including SKZ and Ateez) all competed through amazing performances. The scoring is bull but the performances and interactions are so worth it. I rewatch it a lot. Plus it lets you learn about a handful of great groups.
You can't pick just one to bias in Ateez, they will all get you everytime. They are all amazing performers and you have a lot of catching up to do. lol
i started out with nct, then discovered bts and fell in love and then went to an ateez concert and now i have 2 ult groups.. also im a jimin and wooyoung bias which i find hilarious
I just discovered ATEEZ almost two months ago. Halazia was my first video/song and I was so blown away. After I heard Guerrilla , that was it for me. ATIINY! (Actually I became a Stay about two weeks before this, so I’m definitely a STAYTINY😂). Watching “inception” and then “Answer”, I was an emotional wreck, in the greatest way. You expressed yourself much the way I felt hearing all their songs for the first time. I was stunned, overwhelmed and could not believe what I was hearing.! The melodic beauty of their songs is just otherworldly to me and throw in the rap and the hard edge and I’m done 😅 I look forward to more of your reactions. You are in for an amazing experience!
Welcome to the family, babyTINY! I apologize now -- I don't mean to make long posts, then I get excited and intentions go out the window... so, yeah. Since you asked about how to say Mingi's name, there's a great "introduction" they do on the Showterview with SUNMI (Captain Hongjoong also gives a run-down of the timeline and lore, too). I always love seeing first reactions to our boys. ATEEZ are hands-down my ult group. I'm a newbie still to K-pop in general, having just started K-dramas in March 2022 and listening to a few groups and artists because of OST songs I really liked and briefly checking out groups idol actors are in, etc... but my first real search to specifically "dive into K-pop" wasn't until November, and resulted in me finding ATEEZ (literally the first video I watched was "Answer"). I got pulled in immediately, and I still haven't stopped falling through their interdimensional rabbit hole but I love it. Others have already given a lot of info about the guys, so I'll just add my thoughts that you literally cannot pick a bad song to listen to -- they're all good, the b-sides are amazing, they don't really fit in one "sound" or genre because they flow so smoothly between sounds/genres in songs ("Guerrilla" is a great example of them doing that really well). Many of us will say you'll get the most out of your reaction journey by jumping straight back to the very beginning, and I agree... I wish I'd experienced them that way, to be honest... but I'll reiterate that there are no bad songs, just that they're not all going to sound the same so walk in with expectations of a great song but no expectation of how it'll actually sound. Or something. Saying they remind you of Stray Kids is actually great, as Stray Kids very much are their own thing as well for me... so without comparing at all, I agree entirely. The two groups are great friends, and there's even a running joke (sort of) that their fandoms are "married". There are definitely a lot of StayTiny out there. We got to see some great interactions between them on Kingdom: Legendary War. If you want to go back to the beginning, definitely start with the KQ Fellaz (pre-debut name; not KQ Fellaz 2, that's Xikers) performance videos; there are 3 group ones (all 8 of our guys), and 1 with just Yunho and backup dancers. All 4 are wonderful ways to see how technical and expressive they are in dance (even before debut, they've only grown since then) without having to focus on any flashiness of a video or lyrics (because it's not their own music) or anything. Then, move on to the "Pirate King" and "Treasure" MV -- OR really experience them in full by just reacting to lyric videos and MVs in order of placement on the albums. (Not telling you how to do it, just saying that's how to get the most from it if you're wanting to really dive deep.) I totally understand your eyes just going to someone, without trying. I didn't even know I had a bias for a while, until I realized that every MV, every dance practice, every live stage, my eyes gravitate toward Yeosang like there's no tomorrow. I love all 8 of them, and the other 7 can all wreck me, but something about him just draws my gaze first. I also love when they use Yeosang and Jongho in harmony because it's such a treat for the ears with his lower tones and Jongho's high ones. (Yeosang is the one you said doesn't look like he has a low voice, in "Halazia".) I didn't read enough comments to know how many times it's been said, but their lore is insanely good and expansive. It's confusing as all get-out at the start (or, it was for me) but how the 'live' the lore through their lyrics, MVs, live stages, etc. really is part of the major draw for me. I've always been a bit of a nerd and they definitely speak to that side of me. Every album comes with a "Diary" that gives more insight into what's actually going on for that album's timeline... and loreTINY (which I'm not) compile things and give theories and whatnot. I know there are some good ones that post for others to learn, but I honestly can't remember off the top of my head (and I'm a horrible fan who doesn't have those bookmarked). The lore basics to understand are: -- ATEEZ is a group of teenagers from our world (world/dimension/universe "A") who came together as pirates of a sort in search of their treasure -- HALATEEZ is a group of rebels (in world/dimension/universe "Z") in a dystopian society with a totalitarian government that outlawed human emotion and expression of it (art, dance, music) ---- this group leads the 'black pirates', but fans called them HALATEEZ because they first showed up in "HALA HALA" and the name stuck -- both groups are the same 8 guys, obviously... just different versions of themselves in the lore (think "The One" with Jet Li) -- because of their actions against the "Z" government, they are outlaws and hunted by Android Guardians (you see one in "Bouncy", the thing in white with spiky mask that gets blown up) -- when trailers are released, they definitely help explain what's going on; always watch MVs to the end, too, because yes there are sometimes the little extras -- that should be enough to help you wrap your brain around it all "Halazia" takes place in world "Z", where citizens are being brainwashed by the government. Prestige Academy is where kids sit in white rooms with in-ear devices that keep them focused on a big screen with a digitized head talks to them, spitting propaganda so they'll trust the government and shut out emotion. In the mini-album 'The World EP 1 : Movement', we see our guys infiltrating to break the connection of the in-ears and take over the airwaves to blast their own message ("Guerrilla" MV, plus teasers/trailers)... "Halazia" is told by "the Witness" in a spin-off album, basically the feelings they encountered and effect the boys' actions had on them. (My interpretation, not official info there.) So this actually takes place prior to "Bouncy", but isn't part of the official time-line in terms of the story as told by our guys -- instead, it's an extra perspective. Part of what's interesting about that to me is that there are call-backs to the "Guerrilla" MV and that mini-album in "Halazia" and its MV (like one of San's dance moves, where he reaches toward the camera, Mingi's rap conversation to himself between "Halazia" and "Cyberpunk", etc.) I realize you haven't seen those other MVs or heard the songs, but it's worth keeping in mind that they do this kind of thing all the time -- you will feel the connections if you continue to explore them. For "Bouncy", our guys have been undercover and now have gotten the signal to move out and start their mission. At the end of "Bouncy", Mingi (the teeth guy) was annoyed because all of the posters were of him. In "Deja Vu", the one you asked why he was rapping that way is "Captain" Hongjoong (he's the leader, but we call him Captain since they're pirates). After that, the other rapper was the teeth guy. There's a really nice Halloween version of this one where they're dressed as vampires. Their DPs are insane. They go as hard for DPs as they do for MVs and live stages. It's crazy. Jongho's voice is lovely, whether it's soaring or not. If you like the high stuff, though, check out "Symphony No 9 : From the Wonderland" on Kingdom: Legendary War, and also "Black Cat Nero". If you really want Wooyoung to attack you, go watch his Artist of the Month performance on Studio Choom... 🤭
This reaction is everything. It shows well every emotion ATEEZ can cause by its overwhelming talent 😂❤ NOBODY is like ATEEZ, and their flavor is addicting. Thank you for this it made my day better. it was so funny by the time you went to Deja Vu. You said you were unwell lol I said to myself, "Deja Vu will end her" 😂
HALAZIA is such an utterly EPIC song. It's like a battle song, a video game battle scene. The song hits so hard. Should definitely check this song's dance practice. It is beautiful.
And yes, that you guessed it I am in Ateez fan I have been watching them when they started putting the group gather before they even debuted I have not been disappointed since they are impeccable. They are in another level they hit different in every way I know you will fall in love with them with every single video you watch more and more and more.
if u ever want to watch a guide to react to or just watch on your own time, def rec "the ultimate guide to ateez 2023" by of allthekennys . ateez are one of the most genuine and heartfelt idols i know and stanned like youll never be wrong for getting to know/stanning these 8 talented pirates. army to atiny pipeline is soo real, been there
Hong Joong (orange hair rapper) is always coming for me. This man is fine as f*ck hahahahaha Actually, they are all so fine but Hong Joong has an extra flare in my humble opinion 😂
Once upon a time I watched a random AOTM video that I saw…. And now I am an ATINY who is Woo Biased and with 7 wreckers. This man is dangerous for society and he knows it 😭 Coming from a Jimin biased I can feel you 🤣
So glad you checked then out! They're in my top 3 along with Stray Kids and Oneus. Just such good music and performances. Love, love, love. Oh, and Ateez are friends with Stray Kids, also both were on Kingdom together, which is a must watch!
I’m so excited to watch your journey! Hold on tight ATEEZ will put you on one hell of a ride! They are so good! My recommendations: Inception Guerrilla Turbulence The Real Paradigm Hala Hala Answer Say my Name Eternal Sunshine Bonus: Studio Choom AOTM, Wooyoung “Bad”… thank me later 😉
my favourite song so far is say my name. it also has a very enjoyable choreo. i've seen some more dance practices and they all were intense and energetic but also in sync!
the rapper with orange hair from deja vu is hongjoong the leader btw ateez and us call him captain he also a producer he produced a lot of ateez songs (he is literally has the most perfect teeth i have ever seen lol) mingi the deep voice rapper he also wrote his own verses in all of their songs jongho with the insane voice he is the maknea and the main vocalist, believe me u didn't hear what this man can do yet also most of ateez songs are hype and so epic so prepare ur self lol for recommendation answer, wonderland, say my name and guerilla i know u will love them all thank u for reacting to ateez i hope we will see more of them here 😍
Welcome to the rabbit hole! I have been following Ateez since pre-debut when they were called KQFellaz. You will never be disappointed by any of their songs .. all of them are a bop, you also have to check out their B-sides too!
I saw Ateez and clicked! I started with BTS and then saw the Ateez MV Fireworks and was wrecked!! They are 8 all rounders and Jongho has undoubtedly the best vocals in the industry. New subscriber here hoping for an in-depth fall down the ATEEZ rabbit hole!
@LexListens You should film every Ateez thing you watch. In fact, you should just film all the time in case you accidentally come across something Ateez-related. 😆 I'm joking, of course, but I know a lot of us would enjoy watching the dance practices with you (and pretty much any other Ateez content you choose to watch).
And the gentleman with the high notes Jungho to really experience his voice. He was on the show where he sings this song and it’s called So you please watch that so you can appreciate just how talented this man is I guarantee you his performance will give you chills you’ll be flabbergasted and how he sings it the performance is impeccable on another level
Loved your reaction. i have subscribed to follow your Ateez journey. They are my ult group & I have seen them live twice which was 2 of the best nights of my life. The are outstanding performers. To see a completely different side of them watch Eternal Sunshine.
Welcome to ATEEZ! They are incredible and funny you would have chosen Wooyoung out of everyone as a stand out as he was originally a Hybe trainee and Jimin is his idol. ATEEZ is so special as they come from a super small company and have a similar come up to BTS which is why there are a lot of Army and Atiny…loved it!! 🖤🧡
I’m so glad you checked out ATEEZ. As amazing as their music, dance, visuals and vocals are, their hearts are even bigger. Now hopefully u get why Atiny say ‘if u haven’t listened to ATEEZ ur missing out.’ Because they are a whole pkg.
What attracted me 1st to Ateez is their characters....they are humble and kind...My first Ateez song I fell in love with is Queen 'Answer'...when I 1st heard it at Kingdom.
Your reactions are lit day 1of me.. it is a slide downhill.. Ateez has everything, their vocals are amazing, the man you mention is Jongho (check his performance in K909 today of his OST live or Immortal songs performance)
This is one of my favorite reactions I've watched in a long time. So fun to see someone just jump in and discover the gem that is ATEEZ in this way. I'm sure it's been said a ton with all these comments you have on here but I'll be another person who votes you watch/react to the Ultimate Guide to ATEEZ by ofallthekennys. You'll LOVE it. It's long but so fun that it passes so quickly. Thank you for sharing this experience with us and I can't wait to watch you fall further down the hole. ❤️
actually funny you mentioned skz cause ateez and stray kids are besties. they performed together (along with another group called BTOB) on a show called kingdom and Changbin and Wooyoung are really good friends!
The ultimate guide by ofallthekennys was mentioned several times and I agree that it is the best and one you should definitely watch. If you want to start with a shorter one though, to get you started, you should check out A Lighthearted guide to Ateez, it’s the best quick guide.
You said, the only person that ever wrecked you was Jimin well this whole group is gonna rock you because every single one of them is a wrecker and forget about picking a bias because you keep changing your bias every single time
Funniest thing is that Wooyoung is like a big Jimin and BTS fan boy😂😂 They cover BTS live on MAMA infront of Bts.. together with a mashup of Wonderland (their own song) you should definitely watch that. They were rookies back then and they came in HOT 🥵 they are so amazingly talented! My Ateez song recommendation would be Thanxx and Anwser! ♥️♥️
They have an incredible discography (true no skip albums). But if you'd like to appreciate their emotive vocals, visuals ... their recent Japanese comeback "Limitless" is worthwhile. (It's the opening song to an anime, and really nice sonically.)
You should watch Answer music video will warn you, you may feel attacked by Wooyoung and is hip thrust 😂 Mingi is the one who’s teeth you were admiring, he was the cowboy in the bar in Bouncy and had the orange hair in Halazia and the silvery hair in Deja Vu,Hongjoong is the one with orange hair in Deja Vu.
If no one else mentioned , their pre-debut KQFellas dance performances are insanely good. And while Ateez is my number one ( I can’t even pick a steady bias because I love them all for different reasons at different moods,Currently it’s Jongho but that could change tomorrow lol)❤💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️❤️🔥 The only other group I listen to to consistently BtoB is my number 2 group because their vocals are amazin. And Huta/Minhyuk is a wrecker for sure. His solo videos Boom and Tonight are duality plus. 💚🍀💚🍀
