The Kulture Study: ATEEZ 'Bouncy' MV REACTION & REVIEW

[@shenvi]

Hongjoong was ICONIC this comeback. Also, the budget was super high for these boys! Can’t wait to see what they do next!

[@ayegirl9452]

nahhh mingi

[@lazypotato2204]

He was SICK! ❤

[@Alysh5]

Hongjoong ATE this CB! whoever disagrees can cry louder

[@ancientmingyu0604]

I have begged the universe for the return of rapper Seonghwa for so long and now we got such a sick verse 😭❤️ THANK YOU FOR LETTING RAPPER HWA RETURN TO US

[@whosmayanotme]

Rapper Seonghwa made my absolute night when it dropped. I replayed that section so much, i love it. And his verse right after Mingi’s… both my biases was EVEN BETTER!! Kq is honestly becoming one of my fav company’s depending on music 😅

[@midnightxgem6147]

​@@vixxexo6855same. I always like hearing him rap and it was nice when he did it on Immortal Songs 2, but this rap in Bouncy just isn't it. I would maybe like it if it didn't have all the effects

[@ChanelleofAthens]

Sick verse you couldn't even hear what he was saying

[@choicelyon2131]

Hwa popped OFF in that rap! I love when he puts out his arms while riding the motorcycle at the high note - iconic 🙌 Agreed with other people that he's hard to understand though, and it seems a bit stressful to perform on stage because of the jolty choreo and him needing to take breaks to breathe😅 But I love the rapper Seonghwa agenda and appreciate that we got some of that regardless :D

[@victoriab98]

@@vixxexo6855i liked it, it was stylish

[@ahmadfouad7338]

Their production value ever since ‘The real’ has been going through the roof !!!

[@hongjoongsbutterfly]

"Bro, that was 4 minutes?!" is absolutely the best line. Yessss it went by so fast!!!

[@heidi8242]

This won 5 music show trophys.🎉🏆

[@andreay9935]

I'm so happy :') Ateez went hard and Atiny did great with voting

[@asobhani40]

Deserved

[@_isntshelvly_]

This song better win SOTY or else...

[@KaterynaM_UA]

They said the meaning of the album is kind of "are you ready to become a monster to protect what you hold dear" and you NAILED it from the smiles alone!!

[@choicelyon2131]

16:30 couldn't agree more, these were the PERFECT roles for Wooyoung and San!!! I think they're my favorite unit in this MV - the acting is so engaging and comical. Even things like San spitting the water in the air before the chorus and Wooyoung counting and throwing the money - they pulled out all the stops!!! Also love gunner Mingi, he smashed that role.

[@jacquelinefermen]

Yes.

[@Ay_Am]

Stanning Ateez since their debut i really see their growth both performing wise as a group and also the growth of their label and their production, idk i was sitting by myself the other day nd then this crossed my mind and it made me so proud. This is their best and biggest comeback and seriously i can't get the chorus from my mind.

[@BeatrizRodrigues-bj1de]

FR. Pirate King is oneof my favorite songs to this day but if you compare the two...

[@RoJa713]

stanning from debut is a flex

[@blanca3806]

i’ve also been here since predebut and this really hit me with xikers’ debut. like the level of production and promotion that they were able to give them, it’s all thanks to ateez and it just feels amazing to see the impact they’ve had

[@deella.3339]

Me too. Even just looking back at Wave, their first win, they have improved so much. Im so proud of them.

[@littleshante]

@@RoJa713 well i’m a pre debut stan 😎

[@_Dani.Lynn_]

Lol “Cult-ish” You’re not ready for the album…. It’s like summoning something. It’s the perfect fit to the World Episode 1 and darker. Bouncy is the most “upbeat” song on it. Just prepare yourself. 🥵🌶️🤯

[@briaweea02]

The pre-chorus and harmonies on Dune ABSOLUTELY sound like you’re summoning something, what a perfect description😭

[@BriBee1235]

" Oh man, that was 4 minutes??" You know its a great MV when its actually long as hell but it feels like its over in 30 seconds. I love that they went in a new, different direction here. Ateez never does the same thing twice but they always keep an element of what makes them unique and special inside of whatever they do

[@ancientmingyu0604]

Ateez literally never misses! It's insane, they're insane, Eden-ary is insane. I'm insane FOR them! But also, I thought that they had defeated the masked man in white sent by the Prestige Academy for good during their Answer stage on Kingdom but now Hongjoong shot him with that chilli bullet?! Color me in love but confused as always.

[@Chimchimsugar]

Late af but in case you’re still wondering apparently the masked man isn’t a singular person but more of a group of ppl and that’s just their uniform! I’m thinking though that they finally defeated them here, but I’m unsure lol

[@ancientmingyu0604]

@@Chimchimsugar Oh, that makes sense! Thanks so much 🥰❤️ So like literally like Halateez but in white 🤔

[@MyLife_99z]

​@@ancientmingyu0604 the white masks men are Android Guardians, they work under someone called as 'Z'. Apparently, according to World Ep2 diary entry, Ateez successfully infiltrated the Prestige School and awakened the students, but Z & Android Guardians aren't defeated yet. Ateez has their own written story from Fever album (diary ver.) & World series, I highly recommend you read it, it's fun! 😆♥️

[@BellTheGnome]

the android guardians have been following them since hala hala even when you watch the end of I'm the one one of the guardians shows up

[@ancientmingyu0604]

@@MyLife_99z I know, I've noticed in my Fever album lol Haven't gotten my Outlaw album yet tho. But that's super cool to know, thanks ❤️

[@KuroiandNoukon]

They're really running with the jokes too, going to pepper farms, eating peppers or playing with yoga balls during a win stage 😂

[@molliejustin1432]

You're going to absolutely LOVE the entire EP. The World EP1 was my favorite album. EP2 is my new favorite ATEEZ album and I seriously do not know how they keep outdoing themselves... It's the perfect middle of the overall The World part of their storyline, and I'm SUPER interested to see what EP3 is like, how it "resolves" everything...

[@choicelyon2131]

This chapter of albums has been so good TT I can't wait for Ep 3!!!!!

[@f4iry__chaewon]

​@@choicelyon2131If they drop EP.3 we will be dead again

[@noriyhan6562]

I also loveee their World Series Album....in EP2....Ateez really go to another level...This World...kept repeating in my brain and other songs too...Their Bsides is top notch songs.

[@skyw4005]

i think the members said that yunho and jongho are undercover cops not actual cops. they're still outlaws and i think that makes their characters in the mv more interesting. ateez are all working together but apart to get things done and overthrow the system

[@sseaweedflavor]

THE AKIRA BIKE SLIDE. god i feel so personally targeted by this whole comeback it's been out for 2 weeks and I'm still quaking oh my god

[@nepmoons3825]

This really is one of their best comebacks to date, the album quickly became one of my favorites, the vocal and rapper lines served us with something new and fresh, they truly are phenomenal.

[@edenshelovely500]

Digipedi really gets them. They're a match. Ateez, Edenary, BB Trippin, Digipedi, their stylists.. They understand the assignment

[@Hrathen39]

Bouncy has been on repeat, bouncing around in my mind for days! That drop *is nasty*!! Glad to see Edenary still dropping amazing songs after LEEZ left, the entire album just drips in swag and high intensity

[@lightningdoughnut4880]

I think Hongjoong’s role is well- He’s a cowboy like Mingi but he’s on a roof alone and later he shoots a sniper rifle. So I think he’s a sniper (that may be allied with Mingi? Since the Ateez members are paired off in this MV) Also this MV gave me Cowboy Bebop vibes a bit. And having Yeosang do the Akira slide was a fun reference!

[@zaraea6732]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but: the parrot is actually Hongjoon's voice pitched up.

[@sum1rllyspecial]

Nobody sounds like ATEEZ. You can just tell when it’s ATEEZ. So good 🔥🔥

[@whosmayanotme]

3:45 RAPPER SEONGHWA IS SOMETHING ELSE! Imma need Kq to keep giving us that seonghwa bc… absolutely insane.

[@cinanamon-buns8791]

it kinda scares me how ateez manages to find something different and new to outdo themselves, AND execute it at such a high level of quality every time. i think this cb and this album especially has something so gritty and wild and nasty to it in all the best ways possible, so i hope you have fun with that listening party!!! thanks for the reaction pd!!!!

[@PrincessRomi1]

ateez are THE group !!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking fire every single time

[@souheki_]

There’s something about Seonghwa’s part that is so addictive. I can’t explain it

[@euniceong595]

I think because it rhymes with the next line for the whole part. Just like hong joong's rap in Halazia

[@shineinstars]

i think it's bc it's so fast paced + the autotune makes it addicting

[@SR-mk7it]

"Dangerous and fun" is definitely what I would use to describe for Ateez. Thank you for the reaction!

[@bordge]

I like how with their final 30 sec reputation, they still find new ways to change it up but maintain a growing level of intensity. The Real - was a dance battle/festive party Guerrilla ending had them mvoing as a unit -- like soldiers Halazia they went hard with their formations and choreo and now with Bouncy... its just full of swag with the footwork. and then somehow transitions into a satisfying end of the song.

[@fishtick]

mingi's bodyroll activates something in my neurons why did he do that im cRYING 😭😭😭

[@cedarmay4245]

The visuals of this mv literally made me astral project like it’s so good

[@M2BLAQ]

Hearing bouncy in concert will be crazy!

[@nurulsahqinah1093]

PD nim i keep come back repeating your Ateez reaction playlist, while MANIFESTING for you to react to Crazy Form soon😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[@tanasiascott]

i’m not exaggerating when i say this is their best album, best mv, and objectively their best title track (they have too many good ones). i don’t know how they outdo themselves but they do it every time it’s CRAZY.

[@mj-ff3xv]

This is the new bang bang bang imo. Visually and Musically

[@only4captain]

Im so glad you loved it! I love hongjoong being center, and rapper hwa. yeo also got more lines.. Fun fact, the parrot is hongjoongs voice raised an octave too. I cant wait for you to hear Wake up! Hongjoongs rap in it is SICK

[@fluffy-lise]

This is definitely one of their best comeback, maybe number one. It reminds me of BigBang Bang Bang Bang, it's that iconic. I could see it influencing kpop mvs style from now on too.

[@JemuzuDatsWho]

Perhaps one of the most over-the-top KPOP songs and MVs I have ever seen and I LOVE IT. It fits ATEEZ so well!

[@kaylagarner5294]

Just know the SONG Outlaw is gonna come for your THROAT! It’s so good, and has officially become my favorite ATEEZ song ever. They can only go up man I love it😮‍💨

[@anch1117]

Outlaw enthusiast too 🥰 damn i wanna put the song in my blood

[@roziselamat7364]

Outlaw is a vibe

[@staceymar9141]

Fr! Outlaw is my favorite song of the album and my top 10 fav ateez songs everrr!!

[@NotesOfSky]

Ateez are just so goddamn amazing... Like everytime they release something you are like "well this is it they cant get better" BAM they just proove you wrong

[@yongwoongieverse]

i love it so much. the only thing i would have loved to see more (as a jongho biased) was jongho in the mv. especially when he got dressed with the googles. it's just such a new refreshing outfit on him. that fit is probably my all time favourite and i would have LOVED to see a solo scene of him. also i mean i completely lost it when i saw his concept photo with the purple hair. and we didn't even get to see it here in the mv (and not even in the mv making video which is so disappointing).also i feel like he doesn't really have much lines in the song? i get that he's popular for his high notes but he has so much more to offer. but other than that i'm satisfied with the comeback and also the album is straight up fire.

[@michwoz]

Typical ATEEZ pairs. Wooyoung + San (fight club), Yunho + Jongho (police), Yeosang + Seonghwa (bikers), Hongjoong + Mingi (cowboys).

[@layvyv]

I never stanned anyone except skz because im really busy but after i heard bouncy it was in my brain all the tims! This is so good thats why im gonna be a atiny!! This song is really spicy asf

[@nualaseamus]

Bouncy is a vibe. Loving being a Staytiny. Not enough time or money to appreciate them as much as I would like. 🌶️😍

[@naikahara]

Everything about this video was magical and magnificent, but mingi's shootout scene has been living on my mind rent free. Something about the way it's shot and edited and how they incorporated the gun sounds is just hypnotizing. This comeback and mv is definitely a 10/10 for me, and the only reason it's not an 11 is just cause my jongho simp needs were not met lmao

[@exo_ateez1020]

Man, I am glad that you noticed their acting 😭I swear, that's so good. Like every single one of ateez can ACT

[@saturn2896]

I'm so addicted to Bouncy that I watched every single stage and I rarely do that! Ateez really outdid themselves once more!

[@samanthas1765]

This is easily one of my favorite title tracks this year. That mv is nuts! It’s an dystopian western thriller. 😁👏🏼 At this point I can’t really pick my favorite Ateez song but right now it’s this one. I don’t think I’ve ever watched an mv so much! Hongjoong’s spin, rapper Seonghwa, SAN’s martial arts move, the beginning of the second chorus, that ending.. just woah.

[@mashaocheretko6302]

btw this mv was shoot by the same team that shoot the real mv and IT SHOWS

[@itsshanmarie]

Their new EP is one of the best albums they have released to date imo. Every song on the album could easily be a title track, I have listened to it non-stop since it released and i am still having a hard time choosing a favorite track from it because they are all sooo good. Highly recommend doing a listening party for this one.

[@LCassell]

This song is so fun !! You’re 💯 correct, ATEEZ outdo themselves every single time.

[@almostfacsination]

i think ateez being fun is why i’m so enamoured with them, if i look back at the trend of my interest in groups it’s almost always groups that are fun and engaging, whether it’s their music or their dynamic. ateez manages to incorporate both those attributes.

[@ethos2151]

such a good comeback!!! the ep is absolutely AMAZING its my favorite to date, it’s seriously so cohesive and cinematic?? It takes you on a full journey. seeing the storyline develop & unfold musically between the two “the world” eps has been a TREAT

[@ethos2151]

“this world” & “dune” are so bombastic, the vocals were entirely not what i expected from ateez in the best way possible. seriously such a good ep

[@misun4086]

KQ is truly rarely thankful for handling their artist actually like the gems they are! so glad for the boys 🥲

[@roxannecollins01]

ateez is just getting better and better, so proud to call them my ults 🥰

[@ajummatiny2573]

I enjoyed SO MUCH watching you enjoy the MV! Hope you liked the whole album, for me is kinda dark and conceptual, so Bouncy is actually the brightest song 😵‍💫

[@fsyvhlee]

oh you’re going to love the full album, all of their tracks are insanely sick

[@cornelia4838]

This song got me so hooked it's insane. I listen to it every day on my way to work and i have it on repeat for at least 3 times because it gives me so much energy. And then i have it on repeat on my way back to regain the energy i lost while working. Generally i think it was my favourite ateez album, all the songs went straight to the favourites playlist.

[@julieb2898]

PD - I love your reaction videos. You break everything down & explain so well. I didn’t think I could love Bouncy or ATEEZ any more than I already do, but you made it happen! Anyone who wants an intro to ATEEZ or any group should watch your reactions. It makes me appreciate the art of k-pop and video production so much more.

[@lansannie]

With every ateez comeback I’m always so excited to see pd’s reaction. It’s really crazy how each cb are so different but so ateezlike! Can’t wait for the album listen. In my opinion it’s their best one yet

[@jessadelacruz7714]

you can always count on Ateez to bring the crazy, fun and outrageousness into their music while still being tasteful to listen to.

[@averageuser1405]

will absolutely need you to react to the entire album! every song is literally amazing & they've outdone themselves once again always pushing the bar and becoming better at their craft Ive always kept up with ateez as like a casual listener but bouncy and the outlaw album made me stan so hard

[@giftb3438]

This comeback was amazing, the title track, the mv, the promotion and the album-they just keep getting better and better and the story continues to grow in different ways- alot of ppl didnt notice but when joong shot the gun, towards the end it was fired towards a mask man so the plot thickens..

[@wholenewparadigm]

still casually waiting for the crazy form and now work reactions im fiending😭🙏🏼

[@avilin09]

I don't even know if it's been pointed out yet but that split second where the bullet hits through the glass ( 3:21) you can tell it's aimed at the masked figure from the music video Answer kinda cool having it be a part of the storyline here as well.

[@blackpearlstuds]

Thank you for this! Ateez continually outdoes themselves. I imagine you have listened to the album by now. That album is jaw-dropping. In addition to song, mv, and choreo, that is another area where they really got me - delivering a complete mini-album that has its own vibe and stays on theme. Wonderful.

[@hanoody1117]

You said it all man ... ATEEZ are just doing ANOTHER NEW ATEEZ :') ! We can never predict their next move... Even if we had an expectation they simply destroy us by EXCEEDING that expectation ! It's just that with ATEEZ, the world somehow is always "bouncy" if you know what i mean lol.. it's never still in our world here with ATEEZ .. we're always ON THE MOVE and I LOVE EVERY MOMENT OF IT :') !
