On their #BreakTheWall concert here in Philippines exactly a week ago, I was surprised that almost the whole duration of the show, they did not have a translator. I swear I didn't expact that! They really tried to communicate with us in English! The translator came almost at the end of the show when they were all saying their goodbye speech. I was really proud of them!!

[@HG-if6pc]

I am so proud of Hongjoong for trying hard to speak Enlish even thought they had a translator

[@RedwineOceanbreeze]

I wish more people would acknowledge that 4th gen kpop and onwards is a different beast than previous generations. Younger generations will always benefit from the hallyu wave that brought kpop to a global stage, but at the same time bigger companies have used their lion's share of the market to debut more and more groups and squeeze their competition out. There's more attention on kpop than ever but there's also more competition than ever, and Ateez have not only survived in such an oversaturated market, they have EXCELLED beyond anyone's expectations of them. On top of that, Ateez have genuinely pushed the boundaries of kpop performance, and never compromised their musical identity to accomplish all that they have. They should always be proud of how far they've come. Many have tried, but you can't erase their success.

[@guerrillatiny2094]

People need to get rid of the idea that K-Pop is only about big companies. They feel bad because a group from a small company has been described as successful. ATEEZ is the most talented and different band in every way right now.

[@jasminebubbles33]

people know kpop isnt only about the big companys. look at ateez, look at gidle, look at ive look at monsta x, look at mamamoo, look at dreamcatcher. they are all very successful groups.

[@nazli722]

​​@@jasminebubbles33Since I wrote this, there is certainly a reason for my saying this and my observation.I don't know about your country, but unfortunately most K-Pop fans in my country have this mindset. You rarely find groups from small companies that are popular here (I don't mean to be insulting), but all the groups I mentioned are not popular in my country except ateez, while groups from big companies receive a lot of attention. Even before their debut.and the problem of comparing the achievements of teams of large and small companies and belittling their talent and style

[@ckb18y]

​@@jasminebubbles33​ well im a casual kpop listener since 2009, its not a lie when group from big comp got attention even before they debut no matter they had a good song or not. the only time i know smaller group exist is when they had several song that i like, same goes to atz, i didn't know they exist until 2021, i found their song from random playlist on yt, months later i saw their immortal song performance, since then i paid attention to them. I even feel bad they have a lot of good song how come i didn't notice them earlier, that's when i understand big comp and good marketing play a big role to make a group more known

[@tentwenty-foureighteen8888]

I thought Hongjoong would say Wake Up is his favorite because of his rap, but then he proceeded to praise his members' vocals... Oh Captain, Wake Up is my favorite because of the vocals and YOUR RAP. 😍

Ateez is actually similar to BTS -started from nothing but gradually became known .. hoping just like BTS, Ateez and more artists from smaller company will break the barrier of company privilege with their talent and passion in music industry (nowadays, international fans can really play a huge part of Kpop artists success)

[@phoebeahn8941]

Omg i love that ateez really worked from the bottom up. They literally started from scratch. In other interviews they mentioned they only had like 10 staff employees! Also, can we acknowledge that its really hard for an all korean speaking group to gain international attention like this? Most groups (BTS, Stray kids, txt, blackpink, seventeen, etc.) have at least 1 fluent english speaker who makes it relatively easy to grab international interviews.

[@MariaThePotterNut]

Hongjoong is is fully born and raised in Korea took it on himself to become as fluent as possible, though I know he's mentioned being frustrated at not being better recently (he's at the point of fluency where you're very aware of what you don't know). It's good that he did though, back in 2019 on their first tour there were multiple interviews where they didn't provide a translator as promised so Hongjoong was on his own to help the others understand and answer too

[@sarahj.8440]

Proud of everything that ATEEZ has achieved in only 5 years. Good job with the interview, Zach!

[@littleakuma7979]

my favorite host with my favorite group ever. I really love how Zach know so much about his guests and makes them feel comfortable. Usually in Ateez interviews they have to explain everything from the beginning. Like what their storyline is, what does the album mean... but Zach already knew these stuff and it was fun to watch them talk about creative process.

[@MariaThePotterNut]

Since they touched on their storyline, here's the story so far as simply as I can put it, and corresponding songs (but not all just ones specific to that part of the story): There are two universes, A verse and Z verse. Ateez as we know them are from A verse, which is our normal world. They have a lot going on in their everyday lives, stress, fights, moving, that is trying to tear the group apart (Inception, and explored in the Diary Film, Turbulence), when Hongjoong is visited by a man in a mask and a black hat, who gives him an hourglass called the Cromer, that allows them to travel dimensions. They use it to run to try and find a place that will let them just be together, like Pirates looking for treasure. (Pirate King, Treasure) The man that gave Hongjoong the cromer was actually also Hongjoong, but from Z universe. We call that group of Ateez, usually seen with masks and hats with chains, Halateez, because the first time we saw them was in the song Hala Hala. Their world is called Strictland, a dystopian nightmare run by a tyrannical government, that has outlawed all human emotion and expression, under the belief that emotion is what causes wars and causes suffering, but acts to control the population. Those keeping people in line are giant androids all dressed in white (seen in Answer and Fireworks). Halateez are a resistance group known as the Black Pirates (Halazia). Halateez are trying to get Ateez to help them (Say My Name, Answer), though Ateez aren't sure about trusting them at first. Ateez end up in Strictland (Fireworks) and after some mishaps with hallucinogenic smoke causing illusions (Illusion, Wave, Eternal Sunshine) end up hiding with the underground resistance, and get pulled into it once Halateez disappear, and work to help break the people out of the control. (Guerrilla) They do end up split up while under cover for a while, before taking the liberation movement to Prestige Academy to try and break more young people out of the control (Bouncy). There's also heists but make it sexy after the cromer breaks at one point (Deja Vu, their Rhythm Ta cover stage), school rebellions (Thanxx, The Real), Yeosang gets captured and put in a big glass box till they break him out (Deja Vu, Say My Name, Wonderland, Answer stage from Kingdom), and there's a LOT more going on but that's and overview of it before it get's into details and speculations/theories. The way they use it in nearly every song and every stage performance is amazing, and so well thought out, especially how they use Halateez.

[@gailwarhol]

Can we please show big appreciation to Hongjoong answering in English STRAIGHT and not even breaking into korean. Like that’s dedication. Some idols would just break (which is fine btw) cuz really learning a new language is hard plus the fact that it must be nerve wracking too to speak it on an interview.

[@exo_ateez1020]

Also the fact how they so successful overseas without any foreign member and how members working hard to be spokeperson in english especially hongjoong and san is also very remarkable.

They are my Sunshine, my happiness and the reason I'm always motivated to give my best. They inspire me and seeing them give their all makes me give my very best. ATEEZ kummawo, Saranghaeo💙

This was so nice, thank you for having our Pirate Boys!

This is EXACTLY the kind of interview I am always looking for - one that really lets them expand on their creative process and show off how brilliant they are as artists. I also have never heard of this show before but I genuinely love the interviewer! He asked some really well-thought-out questions and I love the vibes! You could tell he was really interested in their work and had done some thorough research! (Also I LOVE watching the steady progress that the boys have all made in English - English is such a weird and inconsistent language, but their progress inspires me to hope I'll someday finally start making progress in Korean haha!) And I NEED access to their storywriters because omg their lore is genuinely fascinating.

Yes agree... Of all the groups I stan, I most proud of Ateez. They are successful groups of today not from Big 4 companies and wherever they are now in their success, it is because of their talents and hard work. I am so proud and happy for ATEEZ.
