[JPN ENG] 한편의 소년만화 같은 ATEEZ 성장 스토리 [ 에이티즈 ]

[From] [ 1. Until the ATEEZ members gather ] [ KQ’s first trainee Hongjoong ] self-debuting in a company that has no plan of raising idols? What is this? I really liked music since middle school and I studied music on my own. Then, my company didn’t have any auditions,

So I just made a CD and sent it by mail. Suddenly, I got a call saying, ‘We want to raise you to become a singer-songwriter.’ [ alone as a trainee ] So, when you join the company, there was no one there? I did know that there was no one.

But they said, they were planning to set everything up quickly. ‘ In 6 months, there would be almost 10 trainees. While I’m training, trainees will join one by one. ‘ But I was alone for 6 months… – There were no trainees. – It must have been lonely.

[Hongjoong learned a lot from EDEN] At that time, EDEN producer, who is currently producing all of ATEEZ’s songs, and me, two of us were just… eat and sleep… in the basement practice room. That must have been fun too, right? – Still, if you stay with a current producer. – Yes, that’s right,

I learned a lot then ! I really learned a lot. [Second trainee Yunho] We get along better than you thought. Aren’t you the first and second member to join the company? That’s right, we were together for 3 years. [Yunho & Mingi auditioned together] We auditioned together. Yes, we auditioned together.

At that time, I said to Yunho, ‘ I have a audition. ‘ right? Was it the day before? ‘ Tomorrow I… ‘ I didn’t say the company name. That’s right. He didn’t say where.

When I said, ‘ I’m going to an audition tomorrow ‘ He said ‘ I’m going to an audition, too ‘ so ‘ Ah, good luck to us, both ‘ and we hung up. The next day we met and ‘ Huh? ‘ ‘ uh? What are you doing? ‘

The two of us were passed the audition, and I joined the company first. [Mingi came in third after Yunho] I could have came in here a bit later. That’s true… I had some time before I could enter But that friend told me that practice time wasn’t set. We do everything free.

But we really didn’t at that time. – But He didn’t lie. – I’m not lying. We really didn’t at that time. It all happened the moment you came in. You came in and we had more people now. so you are the starting point ! [In danger] Anyway… But

You were late the moment you came in. Why do you even need a schedule. You’re late anyways ! come back. If it wasn’t for me … [San’s audition, the 4th person to come in] Then, Hongjoong, you show me what San did. – What did I do? – I remember the rap.

Just standing like this Father ! If you’re looking at me, tell me the answer ! You couldn’t move your hands back then!! – You did it so coolly now. – You couldn’t move your hands at that time and the rhythm wasn’t like that, there was nothing like this.

Father ! If you’re looking at me, tell me the answer ! It was like this. It seems right… [Yunho’s reenactment of San’s audition dance] In the first month, we took the end-of-month evaluation. I knew the members will probably dance ‘blood, sweat, and tears’ of BTS as a team,

So I wanted to do it with, so I practice the choreography for that song and I was excited to teach it to the members, But I heard ‘ San, I don’t think we can do it together this month. ‘ I was so disappointed and sad. Usually I’m not crying well.

But after it was over, I was cleaning up. There were a lot of stairs, and as I was sweeping them, tears suddenly came to my eyes. San is a really hard worker. We were divided into ‘superiority’ and ‘inferiority’ class then. He was in the class that he had to practice more.

But now he’s just He is number one. [ Yeoksam-dong practice room days ] Do you want to heard about the Yeoksam-dong days? It will be so much fun. – Yeoksam-dong, our memories come back. – There’s a lot things to talk about Yeoksam-dong.

– We always leave work together. – That’s right, San and I had to transfer to Line 2. So we kept taking the subway home together. playing games together. – We always played tag. – Playing hide and seek at the playground. We had youth.

Hongjoong, Mingi, San, and me. We have so many memories of Yeoksam-dong. As the manager of Dilettant I heard you were very popular even though it was an all-boys high school? Actually, in all-boys high school, someone say they dance,

Boys tend to look at them a little strangely, but I hate that so much. Dancing is so cool and amazing thing. So, I will show you at festivals. From then on, I’ve been going to all events in Jinju. I start from the streets of the market to the really big stage.

Starting out alone, gathering up to about 30 people at the end. at the boys’ High School. It’s amazing, isn’t it? 30 people? I grabbed the boys passing by and asked, ‘Would you like to dance?’ It’s like a movie.

– Isn’t it a mega crew mission? – With 30 people, it’s a mega crew mission. Even though I spent the least amount of time as trainees, I must have had a lot more stage experience than other members. from the market to the big stage I participated every events.

‘ Wouldn’t you like to audition? ‘ That was so amazing to me. I have never even thought about becoming an idol. So I went to the audition, the results were not good, but from then on, I decided that I pursue my dream of idol.

– I went to the academy , and that academy was Hongjoong went to. – Really? and now, fortunately, I have been hired by a company called KQ. I was so curious, ‘ Why did you pick me? ‘ I asked. The manager said,

“I thought I would killed by you if I didn’t pick you…” I did like… even after it was over, I kept glaring at the camera. and … Thank you. Actually, I’m still dreaming of becoming a rapper. Yes ! Hip hop is in my blood.

– Wearing my pants down. – You don’t wear your pants down. – Wearing snapbacks. – I’ve never seen your snapbacks. – I heard you got hired by rapping? – That’s right. The rap I did at that time was a self-composed rap. Lyrics were something like this.

It was in 2016, so two zero one six Don’t stop me, I’m from the countryside, I’ll destroy everything. It’s a bit like this. [ Seonghwa has now achieved his dream of becoming a rapper ] Yeosang is … One day our rookie development team showed me a photo and said,

‘ I found a amazing kid, he left his previous company and he is now without any company. ‘ ‘ I will definitely bring him to this company. ‘ and showed it to me. Yeosang went to autonomous private high school while also living as a trainee !

No way, was that possible ? It was really hard. Let me explain how did this happen? – My parents were very opposed to my dream of becoming an idol. – They were against it. I made an agreement with my father,

Saying, ‘ Go to private high school first, and then I’ll think about it. ‘ so, I go to private high school. But school starts at 7am and ends at 11pm. – and I had to go to school on the weekend, too. – On the weekend? There are classes on the weekends, too.

So I took the first subway, went to school right away, when I was done, I went straight back to practice room. That’s how I lived. [ Jongho joined as the 7th member ] The moment I came in, I felt a bit anxious.

It was my first day so, I thought I had to be very careful and very quiet. And the moment I saw everyones’ faces and I saw Yeosang’s face. and I think wow, that’s… that’s the face.

[ Jongho had the longest trainee period (5 years) ] You know, I had a really long trainee period. I was really trying to give up. It was too hard so I packed my bags and left the dorm. There was a time when I left the dorm without permission

– for about 15 days. – Why did you come back? They waited for me. And they didn’t say anything. I don’t remember… I believed in them and came back and was able to become ATEEZ that I am today. There is a story. Can I brag about one story?

Of course, do whatever you want. I went through the end-of-month evaluation about 5 times before the debut group was decided. I have never missed first place ! – I have to acknowledge that you did a good job. – I applaud you.

‘Following a friend to GangNam’ He’s the man of the hour ! He’s that ‘friend’ in that phrase. This KQ Entertainment. As everyone knows, He’s the only reason why I came here. You didn’t want to, but you came because of Yeosang ? No, that’s not it. That’s not what I meant.

I didn’t know there were such good people here. The members didn’t like me at first. – The debut team was … – Were there 7 members ? They were told that the team would be set after evaluation.

But I suddenly came in in the uniform of Hanlim Art High school with my bowl-cut hair. Who’s that ? We were told that the debut team is established. – But I embraced all of them. – Embraced ? We weren’t happy with him when he first came in.

– It was uncomfortable – All of the members cannot accept it comfortably. – Yeosang was his friend, so… – I brought him but the time he came was after the debut team was supposed to be finalized. In the middle, I was like… What Wooyoung did so well was

If he didn’t approach us, we’d be like ‘ There’s no point of being his friends. ‘ But he introduced himself and and showed us his passion. His positive attitude spoke to the members in a positive way. We accepted him, then. ‘ You can be one of us. ‘

[ 2. ATEEZ growth story ] – Yeoksam-dong is amazing. – The legend of Yeoksam-dong… – Spiders came out. – Spider came out and if we catch crickets… – Crickets came out. – we could delete one penalty point. – I’m good at catching bugs. – It’s too funny.

We checked even if we were 1 or 2 minutes late. We could delete that penalty point, I’m good at catching bugs, so I deleted a lot. How long have you struggled ? – ‘ When will we become popular ? ‘ We really started from nothing. We were an absolute underdog.

Our song even got cut off from the music shows on TV. – Right… – It was our first debut song… All we asked for was to be on the stage. ‘ Just give us this chance. We’ll kick ass ‘ – We didn’t make it to the music shows. – Right.

It was so hard to get pre-recorded coverage. You guys struggled a lot. [Finally Win on the music show with WAVE] [ Members couldn’t sing the encore because they were crying] [Members only got excited after coming off the stage] Thank you. What is this ? I love ATINY. Thank you. ATINY!

Thank you. cameras everywhere. Thank you. [ As a performance group, there were difficult times due to Covid-19 ] [ But Overcame Covid with Immortal Song, ] [ Kingdom : Legendary War ] When I finished the show, I was so proud of myself. Didn’t you feel moved ?

Since when did we started from a high position. But I wish we have risen a lot in the end. We end with 1st place. [ KQ starts to make a profit and MV quality becomes blockbuster ] [ ATEEZ wins 6 awards ] Thank you ! ATINY! Thank you so much!

Look at this trophy. See the date engraved a week later. I was so touched. I was so surprised. I really didn’t expect it. I really didn’t expect it this time. – It’s pretty. – yes, thank you. – It’s brilliant. – It’s really pretty. Let me tell you one thing,

When we debuted, the staff there were 10 people. – There are now close to 100 people. – 100 people? – There are so many now – Yes. First of all, we took 3rd place with Guerrilla, 2nd place with Bouncy and 1st place with this crazy form.

What makes it more meaningful is that we rose to 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place step by step. I actually feel really good because it seems so meaningful, and I think this is all thanks to the members, so I want to say thank you to the members. Thank you.

[8 Makes 1 Team] People who have cool outside and warm inside personalities usually treat other people indifferently and suddenly became nice to them. I had exactly this kind of personality. And I learned something from Wooyoung when we were trainees. I didn’t express my feelings about them

But I always liked all the members. but I couldn’t get close to them enough. There was a wall. Then, Wooyoung said to me. If you don’t express your feeling, we don’t know. That’s the moment I learned something surprising.

As soon as I started to express my feelings, and the younger members get close to me. I started to think ‘ We are one team ‘ from that moment. [ ATEEZ express their feelings to other members, A scene ATINY often witness ]

[ I want to kiss you, too ] Me, too! He’s mine I love you. Say it to me, too. I love you. I love your warm heart. Okay. He’s melted. Come here. Yes, you know how much I love you. I love you. Me, too. I love you.

You are truly a person who can give love, and receive love. Did you want to hear these words? I’m a little teary-eyed. Hug him once, Hug your younger brother. ‘8 makes 1 team’ ATINY wants us to do it slowly like a rookie. Okay let’s do it. But I said that.

I said the other day, ‘Do you know that our speed used to be really slow?’ Do you remember that no one believed me when I told that? I said we did it very slowly, but no one believed me. [2018 version] [ Original ] [ Arm version ]
