🇰🇷 ATEEZ(에이티즈) - ‘HALA HALA (Hearts Awakened, Live Alive)’ | UK 🇬🇧 REACTION

[@smol_rh]

The fact that ATEEZ did that being rookies like ?!?!! They're my fav 4th gen bg, the potential man!

[@j2das9684]

The fact that he didn’t think he’d hear that beat again is so funny when you know the song lol 😅

[@goldiecormier2915]

I laughed when he got flustered lol like just wait, Teddy!!

[@domobeauty]

When he paused and screamed “get lost” 😭😭😭

[@AvaWarrenn]

And it happens every time!😂😂😂

[@zeniamitra]

and the moment he realised they brought it back ... lol 😂😂

[@savannymay]

SO HAPPY you recognize incredible talent. These boys brought their company out of a $2 million dollar debt with the song “Say My Name”. They have worked their way up from absolutely nothing and have been PHENOMENAL

[@kpoprach]

Ateez: The group you wanted but never knew you needed

[@Yheela]

This is the exact reaction to this song I had myself. The flow of endorphins will never stop when it comes to this song.

[@KayPoppedUp]

Teddy, I adore that you're on the path to StayTiny. It does my heart good. They really are incredible. The live performances of this song that San has broken multiple microphones because he goes so hard on the dance (9:47). As you get deeper into Kingdom, you'll want to catch some of their other tracks because, like SKZ, they reinterpreted them for the show much as they did for Wonderland's version. Re their lore, yeah, deep like a hole through the earth, featuring members as time traveling space pirates trying to restore world order and keep their friendships and group intact. Nearly everything in videos has a purpose, like the red and blue colors you saw here are echoed in their other tracks, Deja Vu, Utopia, and most recently Paradigm. AND they're having a comeback on the 30th with Halazia, which should have some good Hala Hala references. You definitely don't need to follow the lore to enjoy their stuff, but if you did decide to go down that rabbit hole, the hair pulling and overthinking would be fab. Thanks for your reaction! Glad you're loving them.

[@kicha_woah]

i love it.

[@Lily-wv4qn]

not you saying Mingi sounds like a frontman of The Killers when he literally recommended this song to atinys before omfg

[@kimdaniel2601]

In an industry where face time means a lot-doing this MV in masks just a few months into their career was a huge risk. This dance is regarded as one of the hardest in Kpop. Your reaction to music fits well within their lore. This song has some of the best beat drops. I love the contrasts between the softer parts and the hard driving parts.

[@AnnaHamad]

Thanks so much for the reactions on Ateez. This is an incredible group))) Look at The real, the song is very cool and unusual, the beat is just without comments!

[@LadyTiferet]

It was the perfect time for you to get to know Hala Hala because their new single that comes out in two days has the same tagline - "hearts awakened live alive" and will probably be closely related to that part of their storyline. There's quite a lot to tell about this song and its place in their discography. Their debut was a double title track, Pirate King and Treasure, and Say My Name was their first comeback barely three months later. They were the first MVs that introduced the actual story - we could see our Ateez and opposite them guys identical to them but looking really scary, and everyone assumed that Halateez (as we called them) are enemies or their dark sides. It took quite a long time and several more MVs for us to find out they might be allies and even longer to find out for sure who they are and where they come from, which is a dark, dystopian dimension where emotions and art are banned and where Halateez are rebels fighting the oppressive government forces. That's where the colours come from - the monochrome of the reality and the red of the fight, rebellion, anarchy (like in Wonderland and Guerrilla), plus blue which might or might not stand for our, less aggressive version of Ateez. If you keep watching the Kingdom stages, they all feature Halateez. In real life, Ateez were still kids when they released Say My Name and Hala Hala, and Hala Hala broke so many unspoken kpop rules (and brought down some unpleasant comments on them back then, even within the industry, from music show PDs and such). They weren't trying to be pretty or sexy or cool or cute, they were completely covered, relying on the strength of the performance itself in the MV, and on stage they were so theatrical, so deep in character as scary, creepy guys, that three of them were called the Demon Line. They were krumping, almost convulsing, San would regularly break microphones at the end of the song. They still get so much hate for it from kpop fans who don't like their style. I hope you'll get to watch a live performance of Hala Hala, preferably their first music show stage, because it was the literal cultural reset for kpop, and a recent live performance because they've gotten even more powerful since then, and venues literally shake when Mingi raps.

[@pallabinaik3686]

Instant reaction to the catchy beat, a surprising giggle ! 🤗🤗🤗

[@kaeceys3945]

Hala Hala is soooo iconic, got to see it live and the arena went absolutely nuts. ATEEZ is coming back on December 30th with “Halazia”!! So excited to tune in!! Thanks for the reaction❤❤🎉🎉

[@SpookyDarling]

ATEEZ in 2019 was my first K-Pop concert even though I’ve been listening since 2002. Seeing this live was incredible - and I saw them again last year because Movement Pt. 1 is A GODDAMN MASTERPIECE.

[@till245]

They have such a strong discography 🔥 just got my tickets for them at the o2 in February 👌

[@darkmintvoice6906]

Two songs I really like from Ateez is The Ring and The Leaders. It really feels like you can rob a bank with those songs 😂 sadly they don’t have music videos

[@brionyfakatou1620]

Don’t they actually rob a bank in the Music Video for Don’t Stop?

[@maggidon90]

I suggested these two songs, too ;)

[@kicha_woah]

THE RING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES

[@yamiamaya6005]

I just found out about this channel and I love your reactions! Especially from Ateez (I'm Atiny). A funny fact about this song is that the siren at the beginning 01:24 was not actually planned, but at the time they were recording the song, an ambulance passed by the filming location and the sound of the siren was recorded. The director liked it and left it xD

[@jsway40]

Over here giggling and kicking my legs watching you get so emotional. Brings me back to my first time watching this. It's ok to cry Teddy, because me too.

[@melissabutler2978]

Ateez and their intros are INSANE!!!

[@peachymiimi]

I still remember when Hala Hala came out, they did THAT banger when they were only rookies! deserved success!

[@stephanielemons2995]

This MV revealed HALATEEZ, their alter egos. They have a comeback on the 30th called "HALAZIA," so to say the story continues is putting it mildly. Their storyline is big, so big that their captain (leader), Hongjoong has said that only 1/3 of the story has been revealed. So let's see what Halazia reveals.

[@till245]

Their debut song pirate king is also well worth the listen 👌🔥

[@bndgtujfufu]

Say My Name is the song that got me into them, Answer is another favourite with Fireworks ! Their entire discography is amazing

[@hortbeck]

This song in concert is Amazing!!!

[@lindseyward6421]

I just saw them live a few weeks ago and the choreo for this song was pure 🔥

[@atinyteezers9858]

Dude you should get tickets to see ateez in london!! They’re fantastic live, so excited to see them

[@stobit3450]

My favorite part about watching you is your tears of excitement...it's so rare to have someone be so naked & raw with their emotions for all to see. Love it & look forward to all of your reactions!

[@EXO_ateez]

Everything they have is linked from the beginning to now, since their debut until now. It is a story connected to each other. Even your opinion of their tour around the world, you will find in the dance, background, or decoration what indicates an upcoming song, a sign and indications always. The next comeback is on the 30th, the list is on me halaateez In the story, they died and appeared halazia And for the story, the rest of the worlds are different, that they are ATEEz

[@hacktheplanet199]

Ateez just dropped their new album today. Halazia is 🔥 !

[@hacktheplanet199]

They just dropped their new single Halazia today. You might wanna check it out! I am bamboozled 🫣

[@MelodyFaus]

Amazing song

[@tatushhimekuro]

In case no one has said it.. the song you were thinking of was The Killers- Somebody Told Me. And the chipmunk sound was also saying "Hala Hala"

[@andreasalazar4493]

When Teddy said You Rock My World is his favorite mj song❤❤❤❤ I feel connected on a deep level

[@TeddyGreyOS]

Meet me outside, we’ll two step to that joint RIGHT NOW 🙋🏻‍♂️♥️

[@andreasalazar4493]

[@lindseyward6421]

Strongly recommend The Ring!!

[@preciousuba7627]

Ateez performance kings 😮 Plus: they themselves have given clues to their lore ex. Showterview with Jessi.

[@ATINYfixon]

Ateez will have a comeback on 30th dec..

[@hehtmon]

i loved the reaction and i'm super glad you're diving into ateez! they don't disappoint and don't have a bad track/album, not to mention that they're crazy performers some recommendations: - pirate king/treasure from their debut - say my name - illusion/wave/aurora - honestly their whole fever album series bc it's sooo good and they're definitely my fav kpop album(s) and overall, but mostly thanxx, to the beat, fireworks (i'm the one) and the leaders - deja vu/eternal sunshine/rocky - also their latest full length album the world ep. 1, but mostly cyberpunk and the ring - and lastly, they had a japanese comeback last month, so they released paradigm and guerrilla (flag ver.) which is much crazy than the original guerrilla version. i definitely recommend listening to it! finally, they're having a comeback this friday with the title track "halazia" so make sure to tune in to that :)

[@karensitjar8642]

HOW COME THEY'RE SO GOOD AT EVERY PERFORMANCE

[@rumiania]

ateez got an deep story and also there's a new song it's coming in 31/12

[@brionyfakatou1620]

The reason seeing all the members with and without masks is significant is because in their storyline Ateez are pirates who can travel between timelines and dimensions, so the Ateez wearing masks and hats are an alternate version of Ateez from another timeline/dimension that fans call Halateez. They actually have an official name, but I forget. And the ones with no hats and masks are Ateez themselves, but then they put on masks as well and in the video it looks like there are two sets of Ateez dancing, or 16 in all. In one part Hongjoong even walk around himself to start rapping. In the storyline Halateez sometimes join Ateez to fight their enemies. They always have the hats and the masks. Their new song that drops tomorrow seems to also involve Halateez.

[@busrayondemir7209]

Your little dissapointment at the beginning bout the "beat being cut off" was so funny I was like "Just listen, keep listening you'll get more mind blown buy the actual beat drop." then when you heard n reilazed I laughed so hard to your reaction that my stomach hurt. Ateez man, they're incredible..

[@thedrunkentarot]

Ateez was my entry group - holy moly they showed-up just in-time! , just celebrated 1 year KPOP fan in September; yes I cry lot of Ateez songs; this one SEALED it for me, they my #1 saw them in concert July 2024 - left my body several times....thank you Teddy!!

[@indigotheperson]

Comparing Mingi's rapping to Brandon Flowers' (The Killers, "Somebody Told Me") vocals was not something I expected and has me completely shook... never occurred to me in the slightest. Nice reaction!

[@jasminnnn_2358]

Here are some other songs from ateez Say my name The Real Fireworks (im the one) Answer THANXX Inception This songs are insaneee there are more but I like these a lot..

[@isa-lila6277]

I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HALA HALA is so f good!! stan talent. stan ateez ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@clockworktri]

This has become one of my go-to vids if I need a pick-me-up. Watching someone else appreciating one of my favorite music videos, especially the reaction when that beat finally comes back. Just makes me happy.

[@carolinadelmargaddi3056]

Ateez will make you love intros and outros... they are usually related, so freaking awesome

[@sara-dd2tr]

another banger i think you would really like is definitely say my name by ateez 🤭

[@sanfotg]

coincidentally ateez are coming back on the 30th with the title track "halazia" and its related to the lore that's shown throughout their music videos (like you said). with the name itll probably be related to hala hala

[@berimotivated485]

Love that you reacted to Hala Hala today because tomorrow (12/22/22) is a comeback that is TIED to this one called Halazia that their producer made years ago to mirror it and is going to be VERY lore heavy. It's an exciting time to be an atiny.

[@shdwfax1024]

This is the perfect time to react to Hala Hala, their new MV that comes out on the 30th is directly related to this!

[@Niki91-HR]

You guys made him into a STAY it seems like he will become an ATINY as well ;) Sometimes the reactions are something else but I love it. Its like when a kid gets a present that he/she always wanted. The stars in the eyes :D Teddy thanks for a genuine laugh :) Ateez has some dope songs... I like listening to them. I think you would also like "Say my name" ...I am really curious what you would say about "The Real" (one of my favourite Ateez tracks).

[@viiib3sss]

I llove that you get so into the music that you get emotional. I do the same thing and it's so nice to see that I am not the only one! You're reactions are amazing!

[@maxima6142]

i remember that this song is the first reason i love ateez and become their fan 😁

[@allyvishnevsky5626]

The name of the song you were singing was Somebody Told Me by The Killers. One of my favs 😊

[@jjjude.]

FINALLY ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@celinebellon5259]

I also really liked that wind chime sound that came In along with the red cloth

[@LEA29338]

this song is my favorite for a reason omg

[@Aninha-jl2pm]

Hala Hala is THAT song, its elite! Say My Name next pls Im happy youre liking ateez theyre amazing!

[@MikaNicoB]

And you’re watching this two days before the HALAZIA MV releases! HALATEEZ COMEBACK!!! LETS GO!!

[@angel-fs6gk]

the fact that this was their 1st comeback is crazzyyyyyyyyy

[@みじゃ-x7b]

I be like that too when i hear the amusing intrument or music that got my taste..easy got emosional plus goosebump..

[@sjwillson56]

God I love this song. You always highlight the parts of the music that I adore but can't put into words. Thanks so much!

[@migrainedbayou]

Yooo TEDDYYY your ateez' reactions made me an atiny bc of the little details you pointed out while listening to their songs. I would love if you react to Cyberpunk (bside), Deja Vu or Thanxx my favs :)

[@julieduong6571]

You after intro finished...hands in the air while on your knees...& “left” (4:26): 😆...💜

[@kowaiio746]

They've said some hints on the lore and have dropped a script of their orange? Dejavu album. Their lore is really interesting and they have like treasure map that encourages their storyline also all their hints and Easter eggs are everywhere

[@annaebri2848]

This one is my favorite, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@perlaadiaz9119]

Listen to pirate king or leaders by ATEEZ as well!! They’re such good songs and pirate king is one of the best debut songs I’ve heard

[@captianfluffypants]

ATEEZ is so underrated!

[@zerofright]

I wish I could go back to hearing this song for the first time again 😭 LORDEH I love this song so much with the dance, the vocals, the rap, especially the instrumental!! the second verse's instrumental is my phone's ringtone cause it sounds so pretty, its WICKED I hope you check out 'say my name', 'pirate king' or 'the leaders' oh I could list so many songs by ateez I am in LOVE love with their music and yes leader hongjoong had a mullet we love mulletjoong I miss mulletjoong

[@arialyons7402]

I cried the first time I heard this song, and it was purely because of Jongho's vocals.

[@wooooahae]

genuinely can not wait for more ateez reactions, I always feel like I’m listening to the song for the first time again whenever I see these I was so giddy the whole video 😭

[@ancientmingyu0604]

The official birth of Halateez 😭❤️❤️❤️ FUCKING LEGENDS

[@jenniferbl8011]

Loved your reaction-live in concert they are on another level

[@chrislee3601]

They just released a new track called Halazia. Perfect timing!

[@Demonslayer_jujutsukaisen123]

His energy oh my gosh it’s amazing ❤

[@zosha.]

It's probably that one that got me into ATEEZ. This performance video is bold and awesome, the way they did not relied on their looks, hidden under masks and thick outfits, was significant to me, who was a bit annoyed by the "glamorous" part of Kpop (now I'm more used to it, at least for some groups). And the sound of the chorus was just mindblowing. But if you like dance too, I recommend to watch a live performance without the masks, 'cause in this choreo they use crazy facial expressions, that add a lot to the performance in my opinion. (Still, it's the right order : this masked performance first !)

[@MariaThePotterNut]

A big part of why they did the masks, as well and nondescript outfits that block faces in their predebut dance covers, is to let their dance speak for themselves. You won't judge it based on budget, or their looks, but the dance and their ability alone. (other than a cool look for lore related things, wish I could relive watching Say My Name the first time) Also you're thinking Brandon Flowers from The Killers, song i question is mr brightside, and while that isn't a connection i would necessarily create Mingi would probably like it since hes a big pop punk alt rock guy (He recently answered all of from under the cork tree when asked about his favorite song)

[@kayiscrispy]

the way I smiled SO hard when I saw that you like this song 🤩🤩🤩 I CALLED it

[@Heathmah]

Ateez videos frequently make use of symbolism in the form of color and recurring themes/objects. HALA HALA shows them in "alter ego" mode - the men in black hats. You will often see them appear are their usual rebellious pirate selves as well as these black hat selves throughout many of their appearances. Mingi is the rapper you were asking about in this video and yes, HongJoong had the mullet in this. I am excited to see what you choose for your next Ateez reaction. I think Pirate King would be a great choice (it is another "performance version") for a next reaction. If you prefer instead to check out the songs used on the Kingdom show, then you might want to check out "Wave" and "Inception" and "Answer" and "The Real."

[@BlairNPC]

This is absolutely one of my favorite Ateez songs. It’s actually the song that I found them by. It’s a masterpiece. I listen to it so often it’s insane. Lol. But now every time I watch this video all I can think is A) San is always a beast performer and B) they all look like babies. Lmao

[@phantomgirl_0009]

Fun Fact: Hala Hala was supposed to be Ateez's debut song. But they didn't want to scare potential fans away.

[@peachyjoon6673]

love your reactions to ateez. they're incredible artists

[@angelikazimmermann3416]

I promis zhis song from ateez makes you an atiny✊🥰

[@Songtothesiren07]

"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers (if you didn't figure it out by this time in the video that I'm typing. The lead singer is Brandon Flowers.

[@CheeseDippu]

thanxx for the reaction! ATEEZ will have a comeback dec 30th with HALAZIA, HALA HALA's sister!!!

[@zurianazainal9763]

Halazia this name so sweet right but its ok sister Hala 2 heheee

[@yesaliya]

Loved your reaction! Love Ateez and your emotions are what I went through when I discovered them!

[@firexr31]

You should definitely react to "Answer", "Fireworks (I'm the one)", "The Real", "Say My Name", "Inception", "Pirate King". You are definitely on your way to becoming a staytiny. Fun fact: Ateez and Straykids are very close especially changbin and wooyoung. 😊💗

[@AmanoGinju]

I can feel you, ATEEZ always making me emotional cause they're too awesome! 😆♥️ Btw, the deep voice rapper is "Min Gi" and you'll hear "Fix On" before his rap in almost every songs which is his signature phrase.

[@sjbcreativeco]

I never thought I would hear Mingi be likened to the killers but here we are lol Just saying .... Ateez are in London on 22nd Feb .... :D

[@kimdaniel2601]

Given how much you enjoy the music you should check out their B sides. They have a versatile discography. Their Comeback is on the 30th (so will come out sometime tonight). There is a 30 second. Teaser.

[@yoidkbuthi3242]

I recommend you to react to their cover of "The Black cat nero". I love that performance so much one other performance that assures how great and insane their stage presence is.

[@Oh_Ann]

I love Leaders, it was the first song I heard from them and still my fave up to this day

[@hevaheva2741]

[@lolemonpepper1337]

ATEEZ is one of the best 4th gen Kpop boy groups.

The beat or music before or after Ateez's MV usually the spoilers for the next comeback (the timing for the comeback might be 2-3 years after that) 😅 but for this one, the beat in the Hala Hala itself.

Honestly Ateez has zero skips in their ENTIRE discography. There is something for everyone with ateez an that’s one of the reasons why I love them, honestly even their bsides are banger’s please do an album listening party or something you will not regret it. They are having a comeback very soon and are coming back to the uk in February!!!
