when yeosang said: “ “ I felt that

So they basically skipped rookie era and jumped to Legend level .....right

literally started in the sahara desert only to end up on the sahara stage 😭😭

True facts: ATEEZ is the First K-Pop boy group to perform at Coachella. #ATEEZatCoachella

U know they're gonna make it big when the leader debuts with a mullet..

no one : literally no one : Ateez : "Will you be my friend?" me : UUUMMMM OOOEEOOO

I just now realized that this movement of the hands up and down during the chorus is driving the ship. Right????😭😭they are literally Pirates 😭😭😭

My Ateez you will perform at Coachella next week 😭

When it's Wonderland era and you're still not over Pirate King I- Edit: Guys it's Answer era and this song still slaps harder than ever 😭

FOR NEW STANS: 0:12 = Yunho 0:19 = Seonghwa 0:25 = Mingi 0:35 = Jongho 0:40 = San 0:51 = Wooyoung 1:07 = Yeosang 1:19 = Hongjoong

debuted in sahara desert and became the first boy group to perform at sahara coachella stage! the growth

In 7 hours y'all will be performing and representing the entire kpop industry in Coachella

Ateez and Stray kids are gonna dominate the 4th generation. I don't make the rules. edit: please stop fanwars and do not compare groups thx✌

When you stan a group where everyone is the main dancer.

that is more culturally significant than the renaissance

ATEEZ are ONE PIECE stans and it's so cool they do Luffy's iconic pose at 2:44 as an homage -- from one Pirate King to another. ;-) 🏴‍☠

*"Will you be my friend?"* _The most iconic line in a kpop mv._

They weren’t that popular when they debuted with this masterpiece but now guess what.. they have bunch of supportive atinys.

My Ateez you will perform at Coachella, you came along way 😭❤

So ready for ATEEZ in the desert week 2 !

Seriously this is a debut song? Unbelievable

i still can’t believe this is a debut song

watching this right after coachella... im so proud !!

ateez dropping this as their debut song should’ve been everyone’s clear sign these boys where gonna dominate the world

this is ateez’s debut song.. two members of ateez are actually former bighit trainees and trained with txt members and are super good friends with them.. ateez came from a small , unknown company with not a lot of money but have made an amazing name for themselves.. they’re only a 2 year old group and put some insane mvs, and songs out and even went viral for their choreo before even debuting.. support these talented guys 🥺

Wooyong's "Will you be my friend " will forever Haunt me.

Ateez really never had a rookie era.... Just a twink era ♥♥♥

Happy Coachella Afterglow Day everybody

The fact that they went to freaking Sahara Desert to film their "DEBUT MV" still haunts me to this day.

“Will you be my friend” Me: babe we could be something more

well, pirate kings will seize grammy next!

As I was watching I realized that the camera swinging and dipping back and forth makes it seem like you're on a boat. Like it's the same motion

Nobody: Not even KQ: Not even Ateez: Me at 3 am: ummmm ooo ee oooo

Who’s the Main dancer? Ateez: we don't do that

Our pirate kings will be dominating the Sahara stage one last time in Coachella today! Next year, you will be the headliners for the main stage boys

They should perform this at Coachella too. The iconic _Will you be my friend?_ followed by that uuuuummmmmm oh eh oh. 😊

Y'all Atinys are one of the most positive fandoms. It's so nice to see.

To think they managed THIS level of professionalism at just their debut... Wow

My Ateez you finished your week 1 performance in Coachella. I'm so proud of you guys 😣❤️

And now they are in Coachella 🥹I'm so proud of all 8 of them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I still can’t believe this is their debut song

Yeosang: [ literally sings one line ] me: *I'M IN LOVE*

Our Pirate Kings🏴‍☠️ Starting in the Sahara Desert and now on the Sahara stage🥹❤️

I've been in Kpop for a long time and my only mistake with Ateez, was coming across this song and thinking "Pirate King" is such a gimmicky title of a song. Didn't listen to it, just judged it based on the title and went on my merry way stanning other groups at the time, then Wonderland drops and crosses my YT page and BOOM full blown Atiny in less than 3 minutes. Then going through their discography and coming across this song and realizing my mistake. I am on this Pirate ship for life!

This literally ateez debut song damnn pirate kings indeed

*I mean if South Korea is sleeping on them, we International fans can adopt them. We are really willing to.* Edit: Indian ATINY here :) Edit(an year later): I saw a reply saying we hyping them up because they are from a smaller company and how TXT gets a lot of hate because they are from the same company as BTS. As a multistan, I absolutely utterly love ATEEZ and TXT, I don't consider their company or anything, what matters to me is the artist and the music they make. Both are hardworking as hell, their whole discography is chef's kiss. TXT and ATEEZ are friends in real life. And I know MOATINYs or multis like me exists too. There is no reason for fanwars between us fandoms. P.s. I do agree TXT gets hate for no reason tho. ATEEZ too. Lets both fandom unite and fight off our haters together! Sorry you guys had to read this hehe.

If you’re here after watching One Piece, you’re a damn genius✨👏🏻

I'm so proud of you ATEEZ, you came so far! You rocked Coachella's SAHARA stage!🤠🥃

“Hold my Hand” - Yeosang’s only line in the song

I’m an NCTzen and I think Ateez needs more people to support them, don’t you guys think?

The KQ formula is the most craziest of all K-pop

Too many groups did the pirate concept but we all know who *ATE* it

If you talk to a new person and u offer them a "will you be my friend?" and they responded it with "uHm oOoeEoO" Dont EVER skip them, they are your destiny!

unpopular opinion: ateez should lead the 4th generation

Wait this was their debut???????? - I wanna thank whoever it was in KQ entertainment to fly them to Morocco to film this then - someone in KQ is doing something right

WHOS HERE AFTER CRAZY FORM

still can't belive that this is their debut song

A short story from 2 years ago "On October 24 ,2018 a new Korean boy group called Ateez released a music video that doesn't look like a debut song because everyone agreed that its more like a comeback"

Found them while searching something about One Piece in UKposts someday on November 2018 and rest is history. They made it to Coachella and Billboard chart records 😇😇😇

who gonna tell these 8 boys that they received K Global Best Tour Award in 2023, achieved BB200 no.1 in 2023, are going to perform on Coachella in 2024... and more big things are coming to them😭😭😭

I feel so mad at myself for not stanning these talented king’s earlier

nobody: me replaying hongjoong’s laugh for the 36th time: 💃

my ATEEZ, from Sahara to Sahara ❤

시작은 미미해도 그 끝은 창대하리 끝의 시작이 코첼라인걸 축하한다 애들아

The best part starts at 0:00 thank me later

I love how not many talk about the views everyone is just enjoying the music no one is hating on other groups just expressing their love for ateez Respect for atinys

Nostalgia coz my Boys started from nowhere to Sahara Stage

Our Pirate Kings dominating weekend 2 at Coachella❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

imma just sit here and eat popcorn while watching Stray Kids and ATEEZ become legends .

THIS IS A DEBUTE SONG??? Dang these guys are talented

I'm watching this after I watched my ateez at coachella and I'm so proud of them 😭 ❤

Came back to watch this again after Crazy Form just dropped. I can't believe how far Ateez has come and how much father they'll go. Love our boys so much 🥰🥰

i would feel threatened if a rookie group had THIS amount of power

Just thinking about how they'll blow up in the future gives me Goosebumps. All I can say is, The future of k-pop is safe

Pirate King will always be ICONIC

Coachella Kings 😊 ATEEZ coming back !

before i stanned Ateez i thought this was a comeback, not a debut edit:thanks for the likes ♡

I love how they never left the concept of pirates

Omg almost 5 years! 😳❤

it’s been almost five years and the dance break still get me

I'm sorry this is how they debuted???? Are you kidding me?! RESPECT.

First song for many groups: In South Korea Ateez : Let's go to Sahara !

The fact that this only have like 46M of views make me sad like this should have 500M this is their debut song like imagine being this good at start like?!?! They are legends,they are my pirates forever they have everything to be succesfull like they have the looks,the voice, the outfits, the sets,the concept,the passion,the dedication,the hardwork they are LIKE WAGYU BEEF LIKE IT'S THE TOP QUALITY YOU CAN'T HAVE MORE THAN THAT!! MY BOYS ARE KILLING IT SINCE DAY1 and I am so proud to be part of the community and be a atiny this fandom is amazing,the boys are amazing and really really hope to see you in Montréal or Toronto in 2024 to support my boys and see my pirate in real life 💗

this song hits different now tbh i luv it soooooo much

I’m new and I’m genuinely shocked that this was their debut song it does not look like one AT ALL

I’m never shutting up about the fact that this is their debut song, never, watch me being 70 and telling my grandkids how Ateez debuted with pirate king.

Ahhh the “will you be my friend” along with the whole song is so one piece coded

It all started here

PREDEBUT ERA IS NOW OVER AND I CAN PROUDLY SAY IVE BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING

This is one of the strongest debuts I've ever heard.

never know pirate king 2023 ver gonna hits harder during recent kcon ❤ the most iconic debut ✨

ATEEZ on Coachella stage in April.......AAAAHHHHHH

Y’all weren’t joking when you said Stan ateez😳

Ateez the best group in the world
