“BIGGER THE HEADACHE, BETTER THE SONG” - Kim Hongjoong

This is so wholesome. I know that Hongjoong didn't want to take credit but him worrying so much about Seonghwa doing what he wanted to do and being so happy when he heard Seonghwa's final lines is wonderful. He is an amazing producer and content creator. They work so hard and we are more than proud of our amazing boys!

Hongjoong is insane. He encouraged Seonghwa so well to find his unique sound and the first takes to the end result is perfect. Seonghwa sounds amazing and Hongjoong sounds so charismatic, chaotic and playful as usual. We see you're hard work Hongjoong and ATEEZ as a whole!

Thank you to Hong Joong for being so vulnerable with us and allowing us to see his creative process.

I’ve gained SO much respect for Hongjoong after watching this. The amount of blood sweat and tears he out into his work is crazy. My role model

I've always wanted ATEEZ to release more behind-the-scenes of their song productions and I can't believe we're finally getting one!!!! seonghwa hongjoong you did so well 💌THANK YOU ATEEZ & KQ KEEP EM COMING PLEASE

the fact that Hongjoong basically never sleep but still never gives up bc he wants to do the best for Hwa and himself is so heart-warming I hope he can rest easy now knowing he made a fire track 🔥

Now i feel that respect and appreciation that Ateez members (especially Seonghwa) have for Hongjoong watching him making songs til morning dawn.

I love how Hongjoong’s name for Seonghwa on kakao is “friend” LMAO 14:17 , it literally just says 친구

I'm a little bit shocked by the first version of the song. I NEED TO LISTEN TO IT IN FULL NOW 😭😭😭😭 Thanks to Seongjoong for high-quality music, I listen to MATZ every day❤️‍🔥

Seonghwa was nervous at first especially, since there was camera but Hongjoong slowly guided him and made him relax to gain his confidence and complimenting him 😭❤️ i am in love with him again ❤️

The recording portion has me dying of laughter 😂 He’s so animated when he records and he was REALLY going through it 😂 It was so amazing to see how passionate he is about making music and I really loved seeing it!

Seonghwa has grown so much as an artist!! Hongjoong supporting the process is heartwarming 🥹 MATZ is a powerful duo 🔥

Seeing Hongjoong very busy but still trying to record a video and even apologizing if he forgot made me very touched, our captain you have worked very hard and we are proud of you🥺💗

"Bigger the headache, better the outcome". Can relate on a personal level😅. I'm so proud of ATEEZ. Awesome work Captain, well done MATZ, well done ATEEZ.❤

This sould be called "Hongjoong descent into madness" 😂

Watching how music is produced and progresses towards the final piece is the coolest thing ever!! Hongjoong and seonghwa are so talented and hardworking, I hope they know how much we appreciate them❤❤

Mad props and respect to Hongjoong for producing and composing in early mornings and on tour and even giving advice/guiding Seonghwa through the recording process. An amazing job by Seonghwa as well for suggesting the concept and attempting lyric writing so boldly. Well done Matz ❤

I have mad respect for hongjoong..how hardworking this guy is! He start working on it since bouncy

Hongjoong editing the track in the studio at 3am like that is the hottest thing I've ever seen

legitimately started tearing up when i saw the notification; the fact that we got a song, an mv for that song, a performance video, and now a production video.. hongjoong, please don't feel bad for not recording more than you already did. you put your whole heart into this and both you and seonghwa worked so hard to make it exactly how you wanted. for me who wants to create music like you, every second is a precious gift, and i treasure being able to see all that you shared with us. seeing seonghwa working with hongjoong, how encouraging it was, is so heartwarming. a phenomenal song, mv and performance with every reason to be proud. 👏🏻😭 seonghwa and hongjoong, you both did your best and created something amazing, and i'm so, so proud of you! 💕✨

These kind of videos show us not only the artistic process of how the songs are being created but also just how much work goes into the production! Hongjoong, Eden, Oliv, Olunder and the whole production team have my utmost respect!🙇‍♀

stan a man that works on a time crunch, works at 3:00 in the morning, so freaking talented, and screams his voice out for s song.... that he composed 💥💥💥💥

It is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE seeing this whole production process! Hongjoong is SO talented and Seonghwa killed his part as well!

wow Hongjoong's song-producing talent is really incredible. Glad we got a closer look on this behind. The song is LIT!

i really appreciate hongjoong going through the effort to explain his producing process, i really wanna see more of these in the future 😭💕

What makes Hongjoong very attractive is that he works so hard a doesn't stop until he is satisfied with his own work.

28:51 Hongjoong is so cute! He's so cute and cool at the same time! Seonghwa and Hongjoong did so well and they're so hardworking! This duo always slays! ❤️‍🔥

HONGJOONG - GENIUS PRODUCER, STAGE GOD, RAP KING - PROUD OF YOU 🔥🔥🔥 The fact that HJ spent so many sleepless nights during BOUNCY promos🤯... he did all the work on the song from scratch, the way he listened to SH's wishes and looked for so many options to do smth he had never done before...he was responsible for everything including the concept and style of the future track, outfits and even the low tone of SH - he deserves all the credits for this! He inspires me so much, MY ROLE MODEL! The way he gives his all to music is amazing, he does everything for ATEEZ and ATINY, so much so that I always feel like we don't deserve it🥺 And how incredibly cool he raps live - it sounds the same as the finished studio version, I’m in AWE of his talents. And omg we need the whole CD with his 1st drafts - they are FIRE!!! And his visuals in 4K!!! He looks even more attractive when he is passionate about work😍

Hongjoong losing his mind in the process is so real

I’m a musician myself and watching this process just inspired me tenfold. Thank you both for putting your all into this. For working so hard. The results of your work are a testament to your artistry. MATZ is only going UP from here ❤️‍🔥

홍중아 고생해주셔서 감사합니다 열심히 하는 모습이 참 멋있네요.

I love seeing their production processes, MY MATZ, MY ATEEZ

seonghwa sounded so so amazing in the final version and it’s all thanks to his perseverance and hardwork as well as hongjoong’s support and motivation 🥹 love this duo so so much

I love hongjoong in a recording booth, he's so fun to watch! hoping there's going to be more of the behind the scenes like these, they're so cool. only if the members are comfortable though.

this should be retitled: Hongjoong Violently Experiences Every Emotion Ever in 30 Minutes or Less

FINALLY THE CONTENT THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. I LOVE SEEING HONGJOONG IN HIS ELEMENT INSIDE HIS STUDIO AND HIS PRODUCTION PROCESS

hongjoong always puts so much work into it its crazy

i wish KQ would release more videos like production behind or recording behind, so we can watch our precious boys create their masterpieces. watching Hongjoong and Seonghwa create such an incredible song and enjoy the process was truly inspiring❤

the part with seonghwa hongjoong u can see he really knows what is he doing and what he need he is so amazing i wish we can see him working with xikers songs too it will be great

I'm obsessed with matz rap, it's so incredible!! And no joke, don’t think i could ever stan another group other than ateez anymore, they set the bar too high for me , matz, You Worked Hard. Thank You for Such a Wonderful song. Proud of you. Love You!!

I can see How much Hongjoong tried for MATZ to get hit.The way he gave guideline Seonghwa & two working seriously abt the song.I like it so much

Hongjoong doing the adlibs ~😅~ He's so cute. And then he started singing Everything. ❣Such an adorable Captain...

Hongjoong is so hardworking, talented, and lovable 😭 He and Seonghwa are amazing

Aaaaah Hongjoong never fails to keep his promise. He said he'll show us behind videos and it's here 🥹 So proud of him and Seonghwa! This video really shows how much effort goes into one song, and producer Hongjoong's dedication is so admirable 💕

I will never cease to be amazed by Hongjoong, he is truly an amazing artist and producer and it makes me so happy to see him working so hard on his music. I'm really proud of him. Since his debut, he showed how serious he is about music, he didn't give up even though his laptop with his songs was stolen and still continued to work, I'm really shocked how strong a person he is! Hongjoong know we love you and are proud of you, we respect your work so continue to be a great captain! ❤️❤️❤️

Hongjoong’s laugh is such a seratonin booster. It heals me I love his laugh Seeing him happy makes me happy ❤

he was born to be a captain.

Their so hardworking when recording their songs. I love how Hongjoong was so cute and chaotic when he was in the recording studio 😆

the talent, the lyrics, the perfectionism, everything is so incredible, these boys are worth gold , I love you boys😍🥰❤️🫰🫰

Hongjoong it's such a privilege to get to watch you in your element like this - your love and passion for music is so beautiful, please more production content because this was amazing to watch 😭🙏🏻

I've gained SO much respect for Captain after watching this. The amount of blood sweat and tears he out into his work is crazy. So proud of you Captain❤

진짜 장시간 열심히 본인도 맘에 들고 성화 하고 싶은 것도 다 넣어서 곡 열심히 만들어주고 옆에서 코칭해주고… 용기 복돋아주고 성화도 거기에 맞춰서 자기 능력치 점점 끌어올려서 친구 맏즈 둘이 완벽한 곡 만들어줘서 내가 더 고맙다… 자랑스럽고 진짜 고생했어 맏즈 노래 최고야!!! 김홍중 박성화 평생 맏즈해줘❤

HONGJOONG and SEONGHWA an INCREDIBLE DUO!!!!

Eden be like : just do what you wanna do, cause hongjoong perfectionist😂

I love that he trusts us enough to show us his writing process. This was fascinating and the outcome was a beautiful and powerful song that they should be very proud of.

창작 과정을 공유해 주신 캡틴님께 감사드립니다. 아티스트로서 아티즈 멤버들을 정말 존경합니다 👍

hongjoong all rounder

Still my favorite behind video. Hongjoong is such a brilliant producer, now the sunbaes themselves want to work with him and soon his first featured solo collab with Chungha. The most incredible thing is that his productivity makes his day really 72 hours long, otherwise I don’t understand how he manages everything while being the leader of a group with the busiest schedule🤯🥵

"Bigger the headache, better the song". Yeah u are right. This is a great mindset that we could learn from u Hongjoong. There are always obstacles that prevent us to get to what we desire but ATEEZ teaches me to never give up. Thank u for working so hard. You guys are the biggest motivation for me to keep going on right now. ATINYs are forever proud of all of you. KQ family, ATEEZ, ATINY hwaiting!!!💖💖

16:11 Kim hongjoong the man you are TT so hardworking!! I would have given up so fast. how handsome can you be EVEN IN PYJAMAS?!

Our captain works so hard. Don’t forget to sleep and take care of your health Hongjoongie ♥️

Man how can you watch this and not love Hongjoong! How much he cares for his work and Seonghwa, his impeccable fashion sense, the way he gives his all during his creative process yet still has fun

damn i knew hongjoong never sleeps but i didnt expect it to be this much ._. kinda explains the chaotic energy lol

Thanks to the captain for sharing the creative process. The Atinys really admire the members of Ateez as artists 👍

I play around with music production as a hobby and I remember a lot of times just going to my friends house and us making fun little beats together. Seeing Hongjoong and Seonghwa together playing around with the song on their laptop in their hotel room, it seemed so down to earth. Loved seeing the production process I hope we can see more of this content in the future 🥹

We got MATZ MV, performance video, and now the song production behind the scenes. ~! Our Captain works extremely hard. We love you dear Captain. 😘 Also, I love Seonghwa's deep tone. 🤩This duo is incredible.

All I can say is hongjoong did all the work. he’s spend a lot of time for Matz despite the fact he had to compose for dream day and to latam and sea tour. He spend many nights on studio to make it. I’m so proud of him, he deserves more praise and recognition for all the hard work he does. Thank u so much for share this we us pyeongies are proud of you.

They work so hard and I’m so impressed with HongJoong’s raw talent for everything music. He’s literally one of the most talented men on the planet! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you Hongjoong for showing this side of the story !!! MATZ is a real masterpiece !!!! Love u Seonghwa and Hongjoong

Hongjoong is so freaking talented!!!

KIM HONGJOONG YOU ARE SO GENIUS OMG

he was so energetic in the recording studio lmao

Hongjoong is so cool and genious

Hongjoong worked so hard on this song, especially during such a busy time with promotion schedules and touring. While I enjoy this video and the behind the scenes of production, I really hope Hongjoong doesn't feel too much pressure to film this type of content for us. I'm glad he established boundaries and choose not to film on the days it was inconvenient for him. He has a wonderful mindset and I really respect that. He really is a wonderful composer/producer, he's so comfortable in the recording booth, I love his energy and that he fully immerses himself into the song. And that first version of MATZ he created is so good, definitely more of a rock style, I wish we could hear more of that! Whenever Hongjoong plays us his original songs and guides I hope for them to be finalized by him and uploaded because they're always really good! I'm so proud of Hongjoong! ♡♡♡

i've missed Hongjoong's studio vlogs soo much. ahh I love this. both of them worked hard and came up with an awesome clear direction of what they wanted to create for the MATZ masterpiece. Seonghwa - i'm so proud of you, it must be exciting to learn a lot of new things, you did well! Hongjoong - your endless hard work and creative ideas is inspiring to all Atiny

와 드디어 비한인드ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ댜박

The way hongjoong reacted to hearing seonghwas part in the recording booth 😭😭

I know seonghwa was really nervous I'm glad he decided to share this progress with us he did amazing also hongjoong is so hot in producer mode

kim hongjoong words cannot describe how much i love you king

열심히 준비한 거 알고는 있었는데 이렇게 직접 보니까 더 기특하고 멋있다...🥺🥺 잠도 못 자고 없는 시간 쪼개서 만들었는데 곡이 잘 나와서 나도 기분이 좋네 고생했어 홍중아 성화야❤

개멋있어.. 김홍중.... 피곤해하는거 안쓰러운데 매렫터진다.. 둘다 장하다.. 북북🫳🏻🫳🏻

오랜 고민끝에 탄생한 곡인만큼 맏즈에게 특별한 곡이 되었군요 홍중이 고생 많았어

Mad respect for this guy. No wonder he's one of my faves. The amount of blood and sweat he puts into his work is incredible. Working day and night, between schedules, in hotel rooms, in the middle of the night, every possible moment. I could never. I'm happy to drop to bed at 10pm after work because I'm exhausted and here is this guy coming home after probably working for 14 hours and then go produce songs in the middle of the night. Such an incredible person. I wish I had that drive. Also the fact that he's so humble about his talent and skills and the way he tries to guide and push others (in this case Hwa) to do their own thing and just have fun with it. Also the fact that he listens to Hwa's wishes and I'm sure to everyone else's ideas and wishes and tries to incorporate it into his producing, I love this man. What an incredible human being. No wonder this song has been my favourite on the album. The hard work was worth it. Hongjoong is such an inspiration. He deserves the world. 🖤💜 Also this sort of video is my favourite to watch. You don't get to see a lot of the work that happens behind the scenes so it's really refreshing and cool to see how songs are being produced and come to life. Hopefully Ateez will release more behind the scenes recording sessions because it's so interesting and cool to watch and follow along with the process.

I love everything Abt this video...hongjoong is an amazing leader and composer and he is mastering these roles pretty well...amazing job🔥

our hongjoong is so hard working 🥺

개멋있다진짜 김홍중 녹음실에서 날라다니는 거 진심 개멋있다 걍 음악을 갖고 놀아버리네 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 노래자체가 너무 좋아요 좋은 노래 만들어주셔서 너무 감사합니다 노래특성때문인지 이번 콘서트때 맏즈 무대 너무 신났었어요 흥분의도가니 글고 와.. 노래만 들을때는 성화가 너무 잘하니까 생각 못했는데 진짜 성화한테는 힙합장르 자체가 엄청 도전이었을텐데 본인이 원해서 도전한다는 거 자체가 놀라워요 근데 그와중에 완벽하게 소화해버리고 콘서트무대까지 완벽하게 해버렸어. 어뜩하냐 이렇게 다 잘해버리면 걍 박성화 예술할라고 태어났네

Hongjoong is so cute, and it's so cute how he kept encouraging Seonghwa and wanted it to be something he loved

This is GOLD! Thank you Hongjoong for working so hard! ( make sure to rest more ) ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Hongjoong: Well I'm not sure if this will be realeased, but our ATINY wanted behind the scenes of how we make music OF COURSE WE WANT TO SEE IT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RELEASING BEHIND THE SCENE, OUR MATZ IS SO COOL🔥🔥

this man is amazing dude i always wondered how do people make masterpieces and i saw it all oh my gawd i am blessed . he is the genius kim Hongjoong you are amazing

you can see how much dedication they put into this, it's incredible

Hongjoong you work so so hard, you and Ateez deserve every bit of success

JOONGIE LOOKS SO CUTE PRODUCING THO

As an Atiny: I'm so grateful you were willing to give us something we wanted. It was so sweet seeing how encouraging you were with Seonghwa and how you knew you'd have to nudge him to find out what he liked. What a lovely friendship. And I felt the--I can't do this part with the camera on. As a mom: Please get more sleep--it's necessary to stay healthy over the long run. ❤

i’m so proud of them, hongjoong is such an amazing and talented producer, their talent is out of this world, i love them so much

THE PROCESS OF A MASTERPIECE

One of the biggest reasons I like this song is Seonghwa's rap, not only when he sings his voice is also very good and addictive when he raps😩👏

It’s so great to watch content like this and see how much effort and dedication is put into making one song! I love MATZ, it’s such a banger.

this is sooo cool to watch, the thought process to technicality, i am amazed by hongjoong🤯 hope other units are doing a production behind too!
