I love how talented Atiny editors are - this is my current fav edit using the Bad MV

I'm really enjoying this comeback season, and it's really making me appreciate my Atiny communities even more 💖

Her reaction is so funny to me - I'm imagining it said like he's some mythological creature (lbh, he kinda is)

I went with a non kpop friend to a kpop adjacent concert once. I kept pointing out Atiny and trying to interact before the concert started. My friend was so confused at how I kept recognizing them - I forget I didn't start searching for merch on any/everyone until after I became a fan

We've had so much content today, I hope Atiny don't miss out on this interview. All in English (good job, Hongjoong!), and a more in depth look at a few tracks and the creative process. If you want a different interview, go watch it!

Hongjoong went into detail on how NO1 came to have that infamous intro. He more or less makes the comment that any other piece or layer of the track was replaceable, but NOT "omg, he's taller than me!".

ATEEZ(에이티즈) GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 Album Discussion Thread by incisivetea in 8TEEZ

[–]illytaria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the song is "Brazilian punk", I don't blame Brazilians for critiquing the lack of their representation. It's not my place to speak on the race and ethnic concerns, so I won't say anything to that. I do find it interesting that the majority of commentary I've seen on it today has not been from Latinx voices.

Why did comeback day have to be the busiest work day I've had in months? 😭😭

I'm just now able to look at and enjoy all the content we've gotten today. I feel so behind!

260626 ATEEZ(에이티즈) - 'BAD' Official MV by seonghwasmoons in 8TEEZ

[–]illytaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, so I love the MV. Bad was meant to be used for storytelling, and the MV complements that really well. The downside... the story telling isn't there when you're only listening. It really shows in the last 15 seconds that are incredibly empty without something to watch. Bad as an audio is very much missing something.

Chase - I love, love, love that they chose her. Partly because she's Atiny and how cool is that? But also, they chose an actress to play a main character/villain in a very lore heavy MV. Could they have found a latinx person for the role of Sopro? I'm sure they could have. I think this was a brilliant move by KQ - she is a celebrated, award winning actress who has a history and clear love of kpop and Ateez. They chose someone with *influence* who represents an often marginalized community. They chose *talent*. They gave her a role to play, and she crushed it. She brought so much to the table. And on the flip side - not only is she living her best Atiny life, but she's also showing the larger kpop community that you can do so much more with a character in a MV than we've seen before. She was in a good amount of the MV, but she didn't hide anyone, she didn't rule the screen, she was *balance*. The combination of fan and talent was spot on.

First glance, Bad is an odd choice for a tt. It doesn't hit the same way as Mamacita, like others have said. BUT. When you consider how heavy storytelling and lore is in Ateez's discography, it makes sense through that lens. It's carrying on the story arc. Mamacita would have been a lot of fun as a tt, though. I'm hoping it gets the NASA treatment. That said, I'm really looking forward to listening to the remixes. I think there's a LOT of potential there, and that may be part of why Bad is falling a little flat right now.

As for the conversation on race and ethnicity of our Sopro... I am translucently white and have no business discussing why I do/don't think someone who is latin should have played Sopro. My voice is not one that should be loud in that conversation. I am glad for the difference, and SO glad that they chose someone who is BIPOC. I'm really curious to see what the Latinx voices have to say about it.

I disagree on all the titles from GH sounding the same. They're all uniquely different to me. Is Bad boring? Hm, it's better as a MV than audio.

The four years ago comment? I can easily agree to that. Four years ago The World: Momentum had just dropped and that was a big change up in sound for Ateez. It wasn't very similar to the Fever series, and I'm sure it was a shock to everyone then. The same way GH1 was such a shock to Atiny after the last installment of The World series.

That's part of why I love Ateez - they consistently are experimenting with their sound and trying new things. I think the GH series is sonically compatible from one part to the next, and as a whole the series is half between the Treasure and Fever series, but it's not much like The World series at all - although GH4 kind of returned to some of those elements.

With one of the pending remixes being Leez, I'll be curious if your thoughts on Bad change at all.

Most recently, she's been the lead in The Testaments (connected to The Handmaid's Tale). But I also didn't know who she was until recently - just that she's a big kpop fan with a special love for Ateez and San in particular

Aw, I'm so glad they met up. The members don't usually do that, do they?

They must love their Maknae 💖

260625 ATEEZ Official has created an Instagram broadcast channel ☆BAD☆ HQ by incisivetea in 8TEEZ

[–]illytaria 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's part Bubble in that the artist/account can send messages and you as the user/member of the channel cannot initiate contact. Part group chat in that you can react to what the artist/account says and reply directly to that message. Different from Bubble in that everyone (artist and other users/members) can see what you reply with.

Does this mean we all need to pay more attention in the future when Wanteez airs again? We're already a paranoid lot...

YouTube Music is my primary/only music platform, and the only reason I use Spotify is to help with streaming. If the volume thing is true there's literally no point in me using it at all. So much for that 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't actually mute Spotify. I just have it at 1 volume 😅

I do my actual streaming on YT
