Holy shit this is a freaking movie not a song anymore nobody can compete with Ateez on this one this is their own game they own it.

ATEEZ you MUST do your storyline as a movie, I cant handle this anymore!!

I’m still not over how beautiful and amazing this prelogue video is

Why are these guys so underrated 😭😭 so many missing out on pure talent!!! This is the best trailer omg As for the storyline, a short summary - and a lot of it is metaphorical. These 8 guys start of as normal bunch of friends (Fever series) who are basically youth struggling with their own fears, identities, relationships but find comfort with each other. They bond through their own desire for freedom and self-expression in their individual lives but are split due to certain circumstances. Hongjoong, the leader/captain, is given the chance to set things straight and bring the boys back together when a mysterious Man in the Black Fedora (also known as the Black Pirates- or as the fandom likes to call them- Halateez) gives him an hourglass called Cromer which has the ability to turn time as well as shift dimensions. Hongjoong manages to use the Cromer to get the members back but they are transported to the future/another dimension. They come to a place called Strictland(the one you see in Halazia and Guerrilla MVs). This new dimension is one ruled by a tyrannical government. Music, art, and expression are banned, as this government deemed emotion to be a weakness in their ''perfect'' / ''utopian'' society. In response to this, 8 men with masks and fedoras to hide their identities began performing music and dance in the streets to wake up the citizens who have lost their ability to express. They attracted more and more people, eventually creating a resistance called ‘Black Pirates’ (the same ones who approach Hongjoong later on). Obviously the government wanted to crush the Black Pirates rebellion and manages to capture them (the Halateez effigy in the beginning of the MV). This is where Halazia begins. It's from the POV of a witness - the citizens of Strictland and how they see our 8 men, who have now arrived at the dystopia take over the work that Halateez began and to lead the anarchist movement (guerrilla) and save the citizens of Strictland. That ball that's floating - it's my theory (not confirmed) but I think it's the emotions and memories that the government has harvested from the citizens and condensed. It could be a visual representation - it's chained up/blocked and San finally frees it. This is a very short and simple summary for such a deep, meaningful and rich ATEEZverse. So I hope it helps. For a more deeper understanding please read the Diary Notes that come with each album. I think as you keep watching the MVs and other content the storyline becomes much more clear. The lyrics also reference the storyline but I just want to say that - a lot of this can be metaphorical. It can mean anything you want it to mean, so I hope you have lots of fun discovering ATEEZ's message and what it can mean to you, personally. As ATEEZ, always ask us, ''What is your Treasure?''

ATEEZ HAS THE BEST STORYLINE IN MUSIC AND NO ONE IS GOING TO CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE!!! WHAT'S THIS??? HOLY GOD!!! I DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BEFORE AND MUCH LESS NOW

At this point I need Ateez’s lore to be turned into an official movie!!!

This is better than marvel i can't

So it was the blue bird's feathers at 2:14 which was used in the new album cover. After a quick google search, I learned that "blue birds are a symbol of joy and hope. Others still think that bluebirds represent a connection between the living and those who have passed away". Could be connected to the part that says "They would not return" but "A new eight has appeared".

please, KQ, please turn ATEEZ's storyline into a movie. It'll be a huge success for sure!

Us: So what concept are you wanting for this comeback? School-boy? Christmas vibes maybe? Oh! A Ballad or perhaps another pirate concept- ATEEZ & KQ: *DYSTOPIAN HORROR*

My lord the views, you'd think this was a full album, not a single. Atiny are we entering our streaming era?

I just LOVE Ateez's Storyline. It's so innovative, iconic and unique. This comeback promises to be absolutely LEGENDARY. The trailer itself delivered it all, adhere to the mv itself. OMG.

Ateez is constantly showing how creative they are. In each comeback, they surpass themselves and that shows that not only the 8 of them are talented and unique in kpop, but also the group of people behind them. The story they tell is amazing, the way they capture us with each scene, everything is wonderful. The truth is, KQ is doing a great job and not to mention our 8 pirates, the best of kpop by far.

This is wild. Ateez just coming back with 1 new song and make it a bigger cinematic event than james cameron's avatar 2. I AM NOT COMPLAINING. My inner teenager is eating this dystopian roleplay Up

Atiny plz vote in main category for sma on fancast, we didn't get many awards this year :((

Please ATEEZ is getting more and more intense (and insane) with each comeback😭😭 i feel like we're getting our climax soon

ATEEZ ARE COMING ON 30 Dec TO SAVE THE INDUSTRY AND IVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED! WE ARE GONNA BREAK MANY RECORDS! GET READY TO STR3AM LIKE YOUVE NEVER STREAMED BEFORE BESTIES! I NEED EVERYONE TO BE SUPER LOUD ABOUT IT!

JOIN THE REVOLUTION, STAN ATEEZ

Atiny! We have set a goal on December 30 to make 13-15ml per day! We can!?! Let's try our best for our boys! Fighting!

the outro instrumental is unnerving yet beautiful...I have a feeling it's "Blue Bird" on the album

At this point we need a movie. This is mind-blowing.

The lyrics of the song SECTOR 1 are very connected with this video. _Spreading over the gray city_ _All falls down,_ _The lie that changed everything_ _No one can feel it more_ _Something inside me keeps going_ _I'm keeping my eyes open_ _What is the truth? I wanna know_ _Let's go into the sector one_ 🏴‍☠️ 😭 ATEEZ really offers us WITNESS

Ateez has an amazing storyline, there's a reason they're my ults, super talented, great content, amazing overall

We're about to reach 3M before the cb too the energy this cb is insane

ATEEZ never disappoints

Ateez!!! KQ PLEASE GIVE THEM CHANCE TO MAKE A MOVIE!! at least 3h movie 😩

Guerrilla MV is so close to 30M. Fighting Atiny. Lets get it till 30th Dec.

Don't forget to support ateez on every platform once it drop atinys, spotify,iTunes, yt, bugs & so on 🙏

Ateez is giving us an actual movie as a trailer, I cannot wait to see the actual music video!!!

Ever since K-Pop exist, I've never seen a group this dedicated to their concept even after 4 years of debut! ATEEZ has purposes since the beginning that they will make K-Pop vibrant and refuse to be mainstream. And they prove it yet again! They are the NEW standard in K-Pop. If you don't stan ATEEZ, you miss out all the fun ;)

ateez has claimed best lore and storyline no questions asked

Showed this to my non kpop friends.. couldn’t believe this was a teaser for an mv ^^

Ateez really have the best storyline ever, and really the most consistent group with their lore / storyline i have ever seen. A perfect group, perfect talent, perfect at everything.

This is more engaging than most of the shows I have seen lately. Ateez never disappoints

Please bring the same energy when the MV comes out

We can definitely reach 2M before the cb less than 400k we can do this

atiny there's still people out there who don't know about the cb yet and we're only a few days away from it we need to share and hype the cb to let more people know about it ateez keep working hard they deserve to be more recognized!!!!!

ateez never fails to impress me, this is the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life. this comeback is going to be epic, no one is doing it like them!

The sad song in the end pierces my soul 😩

ANOTHER MOVIE OF THE SAGA??? I'm just sitting & grinding my teeth but wanna jump to the clouds to express the EXCITEMENT I feel

when i tell you ateez have the best storyline, concept and lore this is what i mean. i saw say my name, hala hala and deja vu in one video, this is insane. everyone stan the most genius and talented group. kq should release this in cinema this is a movie. ateez never fails to make my jaw drop every single comeback!

If ateez really made a movie or drama with their storyline gahh they would win every movie prizes… !!

ATEEZ NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME

These eight can change a lot. It's the world of Ateez. I'm always proud of you

That Seonghwa at the end was something I cant describe with words but I feel like that scene touched my soul and I felt it deep in my heart idk it made me cry 😢
