[@dhanya447]

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.

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.

[@samteez4043]

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...

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. 👏👏👏

[@md.cherie]

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.

[@ot8502]

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.

Every group is talented but what sets ATEEZ apart is their passion and confidence. They work hard but they’re having fun at the same time. You can tell they truly love being on stage and performing for us Atinys. They also never seemed like rookies, since the beginning they were so sure of their talent and knew that the music and performance they put out are the best. So many seniors praised them but one thing that stood out to me is when Rain said that instead of saying “fighting” or “let’s try our best” before their performance, ATEEZ does their chant “8 makes 1 team” and says “Let’s go!” instead. ATEEZ is special and brings something new to kpop that ppl loves, which is why so many are threatened by them.

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 😟

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

[@suzettegutierrez9876]

Ok pls hear me out. In their performance you'll notice a full moon along with the comer(hour glass) which means that ateez or halateez are about to travel to a different dimension. In the beginning you'll notice that yeosang is in the box trapped just like in say my name MV. But if you look closely to the say my name MV, you'll see that hala seonghwa is in the same room as him. coincidentally in yeosangs part in the answer mv, you can see he is trapped in a world by himself with broken glass which could possibly represent him trapped in the glass box. Then in their performance, hala seonghwa helps rescue him by using the comer when the white masked man appeared. In the end of the say my name mv, you also see yeosang has disappeared from the glass box which could possibly mean that hala seonghwa also saved him. So it has been seonghwa helping all along. He is also the only one who opens his eyes in wave mv. As all Atiny know, the white masked men are they bad guys and the halateez(black fedoras) are the good guys. In their performance we see that they are all being chased by the white men and are being stopped from entering a new dimension. In the performance it seems like while in the fight wooyoung tries to stop San from sacrificing himself to save them but San still jumped. Then as the performance goes on, Hongjoong is blindfolded and seemed to be held captured by the white masked men. Then that's when "Ode to joy" starts playing which is a song that means peace at war or triumph. Also when this song is playing, it looks like halateez and ateez are at "war" with the white masked men, but in the end ateez won and successfully made it to another dimension. Also, in the end of the Answer MV, the white masked man is standing in a room full of broken glass and snow, which could represent the escape or when ateez traveled to another dimension. This then takes me to the Im the one MV at the end. Its coincidentally snowing when the masked man appears. Don't you also think its a coincidence that after this performance, ateez released a song that is literally the same song that ended im the one with the white masked man? They are probably foreshadowing something but we just have to find out what. Also, isn't it a coincidence that the last time we saw the white masked man was in answer, then we finally saw him in Im the one mv? Do u guys get what im saying. I might be way off but it makes sense to me. I just want to say thank you for those who take the time to read this even if its super long but I just want to help those who might feel lost in the story line and just want to give those people an idea on whats happening. sorry if it doesn't make sense, i tried my best to keep it clear.

Yes this make sense! But ateez themselves has confirmed that Fever took place before Treasure so going from Answer to I'm the One does not make sense for me. I'm the one is, ateez traveling to another dimension, but it took place after the diary film, after THANXX. The full story is written in the album too. So, in my opinion, we haven't got any continuation of Answer. Answer is the last stage, the last story in ateez's discography SO FAR. But, we got the continuation (or the explanation of what's happening in the MV) from this performance and the UNI-KON performance.

[@yutazenss]

to kinda add to your theory uh in the fever diary film they were also kinda coming face to face with the masked men? (well it was in the form of their insecurities, and struggles). Originally Hongjoong had the key (hourglass) to enter the dimensions the members were in, in their story it was seen that Seonghwa has the same ability and was also trying to get the members back into one dimension with Hongjoong (but then hwa kinda chose the girl). Could it be that Hongjoong and Seonghwa failed to gather each member in time, hence, San sacrificing himself to the white masked man? You probably won't understand but if you watch the whole diary this will kinda make sense hihi.
