ATEEZ HALAZIA Story Explained: Prologue, Lyrics and MV Breakdown and Analysis

[@KaterynaM_UA]

Few of my out there theories/observations: 1. Yeosang is somehow related to the sphere they pull down in the end, the way they are both covered in chains and how there were specifically 7 spheres in the prolog. 2. The room woosan are dancing in looks very much like the room from Answer and the fact that they are in white brings the idea of android guardian. Even more interesting when you look at choreo when they dance with Jongho, it looks like San has both of them captured and then stabs himself. 3. The hala scarecrow monument looks like a bow of a ship when Seonghwa sits there and the yellow and white flags mean "disease on board" in nautical language and Seonghwa does look very much dazzed in those moments. I can go on but these are the more specific things interesting to consider!

[@blackpearlstuds]

Ooh I will add these to my list of observations. I did not know that about yellow and white flags, but that fits! I have this feeling something (other than the obvious) is wrong. I took Seonghwa's expression to be a bit aloof or even haughty, but it could be sickness. For some reason, he is glitching. I also think there is something between San, Jongho and Wooyoung. Around 2:46 of Hala Hala it looks like those versions of them are in the same position with Jongho pushing San then Wooyoung appearing between the two, seeming to break them apart with a quick hand movement. In Halazia, Wooyoung comes between them again after seeming to slice Jongho's arm and breaking his grasp from San. An odd bit of choreography to say the least.

@@blackpearlstuds oh thanks, I'm going to rewatch HalaHala now! About Seonghwa I have my own theory but it's really out there. He is the only member shown only in "cult" setting and clearly something is wrong with him, he looks much too taken with it. I read hala!cult as halateez are gone (like dead) and ppl made idols in their likeness. And when pirate!teez transport to this universe their consciousness is merged with their hala!versions but like in different proportions, some just get memories and some, like Seonghwa get completely overtaken, almost possessed. And since they are dead, hala!hwa is overcome with grief and gravitated towards with cult worshiping them and stays there as their unhinged prophet. But eventually Seonghwa does get back to himself when the cult is gone (burning of the scarecrow). Buts that's just me! =D

[@blackpearlstuds]

@@KaterynaM_UA Seonghwa definitely has a cult leader vibe. I will pay more attention to him in the earlier mvs. Now I am seeing subtle things I had not noticed before. There is depth to the lore.

[@angelinaschippers8643]

"disease on board"? So there's human emotion on board? (They said previously in VCR's etc that there's a disease, the disease is called human emotion)

[@RyeokiHaruma]

the first time i heard the song it kinda sounded like it was a desperate call for help from 'halateez'. with the desperate call for light to shine in their barren universe part huhu it felt like a prologue almost too, from before they began their rebellion journey and stuff 🫠 made me feel so sad too

[@ЕвгенияБондарь-ю6д]

the whole concept for this era reminds me of Orwell`s 1984: mind control, senses control, brainwash, buildings with no windows, no personal space, no love or joy. also in Halasia and Guerilla MVs i see people in blue hoods - representation of blue bird?? in my country blue bird is symbol of happyness, luck and hope. i really like this symbolic blind scarecrow in black HalATEEZ clothing, fits the main era concept so well

[@opellahleu906]

You're right you can see connection especially in guerrilla where is scene from this book cover

An interesting thing to think about: What do scarecrows do? *They scare (blue) birds away..* Anyways, thank you for your incredible thinking (as always) and for these short videos that give clear insight into new connections and new points of view ♡ I love it, keep up the amazing work!! ♡♡♡

[@nayaraestrella7630]

I was so excited for you analysis of Halazia! ATEEZ storytelling is so damn good! And you made Halazia just feel even more Impactful!

[@itsrusur]

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WENT THIS DEEP HOLYYYYYYY

[@TorontoAtiny]

Thank you for explaining it in detail. I am just learning more about the Lore and honestly I thought Halateez were dead 😂 I forgot this is a spin off too, thanks for making things so clear.

[@yamigirl2356]

MY MIND IS BLOWN!! I know I was missing a lot of the symbolism in Ateez’s new video, or wasn’t understanding how it all fit together, but I didn’t realize how far off I was. I’ve seen others try to explain Ateez’s lore but this video is by far the clearest and easiest to understand. Thank you so much for this video! I’m completely invested in the lore and your explanation makes me even more excited to see more!! Thank you again!

[@bordge]

thank you for giving your insight on this mv. I was really struggling with the mv meaning. I initially thought this was about ateez before they became the halateez/black pirates (that gave the chromer to Hongjoong in fever) basically the og halateez from strictland. But with your explaination, it makes sense why the lyrics has them saying Halazia like a prayer.

[@rocinante6530]

Thank you for bringing all the ATEEZ pieces together to explain this remarkable song and mv. Also appreciated the historical background. I was waiting for this!

[@guerrillatiny2094]

Thank you for this! I can finally say I understand a huge part of their story now and I like how Halazia was introduced in their original story.

[@Alex_Countess]

What's also interesting is that there is a flower called halesia also known as silverbell. Could be coincidental, but the bell is so important in Halazia so who knows^^

[@CazM]

I've watched quite a few lore videos and this is my favorite channel because of the deep analysis you give of the symbolism of everything in the videos and don't just try to condense the already published dairy stories.

[@moonchildneverdies]

Fantastic explanation as always, I really enjoyed this one. Halazia is hauntingly beautiful, a great addition to the discography. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t recall loss of gravity being part of the worldbuilding so far 🤔 I wonder if they will explain more about it in the next diaries, I’m very curious about what caused it.

[@dishitaraikar5738]

Bruh let me tell you how much this explanation was needed, the way I'm confused about where Ateez is going with the lore is just a mess. Thank you so much for this theory~🫂💖💖

[@pranayaughade9406]

The goosebumps 😭😭 got goosebumps for every freaking sentence 😭 you know I love them I am an atiny but I feel myself getting drawn towards this lore of storyline’s so much more like I know every freaking thing mentioned here and can really feel and see the connections as you mentioned them 😭Istg I’ve fallen (now that has 3x meanings 😂)

[@barbaragenshin2923]

What would be amazing is if KQ Fellaz 2 somehow fit into this storyline as well, if they are the new students being awakened… 😳

[@mminecrafts272]

I think that the 4 people symbolize the student of the prestige academy that were sent to the Guardian’s Island because they were different, so that’s why they have the crest of the school but different uniforms. This could mean that they will play a role in “breaking the wall” of the other students that are controlled by Z and help the Black Pirates free the world. This is just my take on the situation though from what I know.

[@destinyyyytiny]

Okay so imma drop my theorie here... Back in Say my name era, they had this concept photos where they were holding a rope... Ateez held the beginning, and halateez the middle. But at the end of the halateez pic, the rope didn't touch the ground at all, which means that someone else is holding it. My theorie: What if it's the NEW eight? It makes so much sense... Also i saw pins noticing how only Seonghwa saw the witness. His bracelet is shown again. What if it is BECAUSE of the bracelet? Also notice how the Witness looks like Yeosang in Inception era... What is happening 😭

[@Kistan12]

Now I’m caught up to the storyline! Thanks for that informative video to explain everything that’s been happening!!!

[@riza5999]

Hi! The song is not co-written by Hongjoong and Mingi only. They've written their own raps yes, but the producers of the edenary team Eden, Ollounder, Maddox, Peperoni, Oliv and Buddy are also in the lyrics credits. As far as I know, the more you're ahead in the list of credits, the more your part in the work was prevalent, and here Hongjoong and Mingi are the last ones credited.

[@ForeverAmber_1]

This is all starting to feel a lot less like lore, and much more like impending reality.

Thank you for the subtitles 💖 If you could put subtitles in other languages ​​(Portuguese/Spanish) it would be great. But thank you anyway.

[@MsNikkibuzz]

Thank you. Amazing.

[@totallyashley]

The video is very well done! I just have one question, where is Halazia on the timeline? I've always thought it picks up where Guerilla left off, but if you say its a spin off then where is it in the timeline?

[@sahibkaur3500]

Idk if this was intentional but I found out that Zia in Arabic literally means light!

[@treasuremakerblink820]

Well good remark ,but the light in arabic doesn't start with z sound ,it started with a letter that doesn't exist in english ( Iam a native arabic speaker)

[@LeeHachansuunshine]

Great explanation and breakdown of the mv also I noticed when Jongho appears one of his eyes is like a light blue/silver im so curious what that means? And just a little theory since one of his eyes are blue i wonder if that has a connection to the blue bird 🤷‍♀️ guess we'll see

[@jaeminlee1531]

The witness has a bias and that bias is Yeosang.

[@forevermore2644]

The witness is just like me fr 😮

[@paltm4513]

[@jeremywinston1]

Someone that can tell me the meaning of the word without me having to watch the whole video?

[@SeguchiSlave69]

The amount of lightbulbs that lit up for me watching this!!!!!! So many things I saw but didn't know or realize had a connection. I could cry! I already felt heavily moved by the message of Halazia without knowing the connections.... Now my heart can make sense of what it feels when I hear the song, the lyrics, the sound of the bell. Thank you for sharing!

[@chiffmonkey]

The twitter-files and de-censoring would be a blue bird.

[@moonchildneverdies]

It’s unlikely that it’s a reference to that, ATEEZ have stated many times their storyline has been crafted since pre-debut (so we’re talking at least 2018). The Twitter thing is way too recent, the Korean folk song explanation makes much more sense in my opinion

[@chiffmonkey]

@@moonchildneverdies Collective unconscious.

[@Deasresa]

I just noticed at the end of Halazia the water reflection looks like a blue bird just before they show the 4 people in ‘real time’
