I had a feeling what you were referencing was the case! I am SO freaking excited to see how they grow and develop throughout the comebacks and I feel I will be able to see them more as ATEEZ especially since I'll eventually be where they are performing to their own tracks!

Agreed with all of your points! I feel like you’ll see their style with their own music. :)

I remember when this dropped and how much everyone was just blown away by it at the time. I remember what stood out for me. Was there expressiveness and character while dancing while also having a very western feel of the rhythm and movement choices. At that time, it really felt like clean was the name of the game. And this group felt like a breath of fresh air. There are a few more performance videos obviously. But I am excited for you to hear their music
and see the full picture and then see how it develops over the years. I really think their development has been incredibly rapid. They spent a month or so training in LA right before debut and from there I think they're just exploded in skill and personality. Rie hata choreographed pirate king. Anze choreographed their next two albums and then i think not long after that they started working almost exclusively with a korean crew bbtrippin though not sure. KQ is a subsidiary of Block B so if you know them well you might get vibes or freedom of character in their performance familiar. This is the only group ive stanned since predebut so happy to answer any questions you might have.

That was 100% what I was figuring out with this! THE FACT that they came across as a dance crew vs an idol group speaks VOLUMES HERE! I'll be sure to address that in the next one I cover!

So excited to hear all your thoughts on Ateez for the next month! I may be remembering wrong but I believe they intentionally made the outfits similar because it was pre-debut and the goal was to show how equally good they all were as dancers. Having a LOT of individual personality on stage is one of the things Ateez is best at so you'll have no trouble picking them out later :D
