So going back to ATEEZ... Why am I writing this? Something good happened so it had me started this blog entry but I have been thinking of this entry for the past week but for some reason, I didn't start it yet until today (hahaha). We have this "eureka" moment, that is when we discover a K-pop group to stan. For me, I remember all my "eureka' moments with all the groups I stan. So I'm gonna start with ATEEZ. I was doing my lesson plan and decided to play Pentagon's Shine MV and you know how youtube does the auto play and it would play random videos, as I was typing/doing my lesson plan this unfamiliar beat came and it's good I immediately opened youtube to check it out and BAAM the blue ocean welcomed me and as a beach lover, it really had me!!! then came these unfamiliar faces on the screen. When I checked the title it was "ATEEZ-WAVE".
I'm gonna be honest on my first opinion/impression/thoughts with some of the members:
(I screenshot the exact moment where they made an impression)
Yunho
"Whoa what a hair color" "Hmmm I wonder if he's done some plastic surgery" "He's too handsome"
"It could be the nose and the eyes"
Seonghwa
"Whoa! hold up! he's sexy!!!" "Yoh! he looks like EXO Kai" "I wonder if he's the main visual"
Mingi
"Whoaaaa that deep voice!!!!" "Low tone rapper huh? they don't get a lot of them, hmmm interesting"
This really had me miss my beach days!!!! I cri
San
Whooow! That's sexy! (Thinking that Seongwha and San are the same people hahaha)
Hongjoong
Yow! He kind of look like SCoup from Seventeen
Yeosang
Ohhh he kind of reminds me of Joshua from Seventeen. Hmmm, he must be half like half western - half Korean.
Bonus
Who is that kid in the front holding the videocam??? Then I realize it was the same "Sexy" kid.
Whoa, the difference! (He sure is the king of duality)
This shot is so pretty!!!!!
As for Wooyoung and Jongho they didn't really make an impression for me, it took time for me to notice them and like them. We always have that moment where we don't notice some members at first but ended up liking them.
Seonghwa and San had me curious about them so I started searching their profile assuring myself and my friend Taylor that I will never stan a new group that I don't have the energy anymore, that I should be loyal to my groups (Day6 and Pentagon) that I would just listen to Wave and enjoy it, that I would just enjoy their music without stanning them and Oh well all of it was thrown out the window (hahaha) as I ended up in the rabbit hole.
ATEEZ made this pandemic a bit better for me and they brought me and my co-workers happiness (I got two of my co-teachers got into ATEEZ hahaha) and strength during those tiring days of doing a school project. We would spend our break time watching their videos and it would refresh us. So for me, ATTEZ is gonna be special because I got to know them during a trying time.
(Both my co-teachers don't know anything about K-pop, it's their first time to be a fangirl!)
Here's a link of the bloopers for our school project:
Fangirling with ATEEZ captured (hahaha)
ATEEZ is such a powerful performer but it took time for me to notice that, I have always love NCT when it comes to performance, Taeyong and Mark have been my fave performer in K-pop but then ATEEZ came and they definitely killed all their stages. As I go deeper I realize that all K-pop groups give their 100% in every performance BUT Yoh! ATEEZ gives their 200% in all their performance then it struck me Choi San is on another level (hahaha) you know what they say "the devil works hard but Choi San works harder" Hala Hala and Wonderland highlighted his performance skills. I even checked out all their stages from debut to their latest stage just to see when did he evolved (hahaha). He was kind of evolving in Say my Name but he really evolved in Hala Hala. He's a freakin performance beast! Sometimes there are weak members when it comes to performance, maybe because he's the main vocal so he couldn't dance or move a lot, or for whatever reason, there's that member that's kind of weak in performance but for ATEEZ they are all performers, and it's a good thing that their company really trained them to be a performance-based group.
As for the good thing that happened to me, I got chosen to one of the ATEEZ events for their Comeback Showcase concert. It's a sing-along contest for one of their songs, the thing is I have been practicing that song for a month now cuz I really love the song and I found easy guitar chords for it.
When I saw the announcement I told myself that I have to send an entry even though I don't have a good singing voice and my guitar playing is mediocre (hahaha). So I sent it without regrets and also not really hoping cause I know I won't get chosen. Then I kind of forgot about it (hahaha), on the day I got the email I was really torn between buying their album or buying the ticket for the online comeback concert, I know I'm a poor fangirl so I just need to choose one. So I chose the album and wistfully thinking I could watch the concert. I got home then I remember to check my email just in case, it won't hurt to at least check it (hahaha). BAAAMMM! I got chosen! Good thing I was in my room I just shouted and did a celebratory jump (hahaha) ran to my friend's room (she's one of the co-teacher) and shared the good news we were just so excited about it.
What surprised me was there's a prize! I sent it without knowing there would be any! So yep, Zippo Fippo is gonna watch the concert for free!!!!! Yooohoooo
Here's a link of my MV react to that song "FROM" but I trimmed it down because of the copyright issue, such a downer!
And that's my ATEEZ story. How bout you what's your ATEEZ story?
P.S.
I might do this with DAY6 and PENTAGON too and maybe with BTOB too. :)
Here's my MV reaction for INCEPTION
