wooyoung’s sarcastic smile at the “will u be my friend” im

*the fact that this is their debut.. it’s so impressive! i just know their future is bright*

I keep thinking how k-pop groups are always shy or embarrassed of their old concepts, songs or looks many years later. But ATEEZ can never be embarrassed because all their work is timeless. They never did anything for ATINY to cringe about because all their concepts are so cool.

I feel so bad for not stanning these kings from their debut time 😭 Edit: damn so many likes...

I’m not saying Ateez will be big but, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Edit: Wow guys they really did it -2020

Me : I'm gonna stan Seventeen, NCT, and Stray Kids only. *Saw this* Me: Never mind, I stan this group too..

I'm the only one who thinks that ateez songs are not typical kpop song. Like I don't know how to explain but their songs are different from other kpop groups in the kpop industry.

im a bouncy era atiny. like wow they don't have a dull moment in their releases. I should've stanned them sooner 😭

There’s no possible way these boys are rookies. Edit: Sadly now they’re not rookies anymore!! 😭😭 But they’ve grown so much and I couldn’t be prouder to be an Atiny!

something tells me this group is gonna be HUGEE holy moly this is such a LEGIT debut song and stage

Coming back to this makes me emotional. I was here since pirate king and see them grow so much and work so hard makes me so proud of them

Coming back here after Xiker's debut makes me so nostalgic. I'm so incredibly proud of everything that Ateez has accomplished!

if you don't stan ateez , what on earth are you doin with your life?

I said this under their official mv and I'm gonna say this here: their presence is insane! I feel like they're gonna build a very strong fanbase and then they'll blow up and be the next big thing, everyone is is expecting to see nct or stray kids to be huge in 2 or 3 years but ateez will pull a bts on everyone if they keep up like this... history repeats itself lol edit: i never said they would be the 2nd bts, I'm an army. this isn't about levels, achievements etc it's about how the competitive industry works, there's always the "hot new thing" among rookies... this comment was posted a year ago and i didn't even expect it to blow up, I'm not a ateez stan so this is just an unbiased opinion. these lil boygroups still have a long way to go... I personally believe girlgroups will dominate the next generation but let's see, it's still too early to say anything.

It's so heartwarming to see every single comment down here either saying they'll be huge one day or just not being able to believe this is their debut !! ATEEZ WORLD DOMINATION !!!

I’m a new Atiny and it’s so fun getting to go back and watch all their performances from the very beginning!

“Will you be my friend” *YES*

1:13 seriously why is nobody talking about this

you know what is really insane is that in many groups there is one person who shadows the other members because of their visuals and or stage presence but in Ateez it isn't like in any performance, sometimes 2 or 3 members don't catch your eye at the first sight but every stage at least 4 of them really stand out. What I am trying to say is that even if San is a demon when he is on stage he doesn't shadow the other members, every member gives their 100% and it really shows how even among themselves they raise a bar.

ateez look at how far you've come- you finished kingdom in third place, and atiny continues to grow, and so many people are starting to recognize your talents. you all have worked so hard. and that hard work is paying off. and you all deserve every single bit of praise. im always so proud of you all, i love you all so much

Here comes the 4th generation of kpop

They're not going to be the next BTS or anything. They will be the first ATEEZ. damn some of u get so angry at a simple metaphor lol

them going from this, to coachella is such a big thing. im so proud

1:27 Yeosang yassss! I mean you killed the whole performance but that part is my favorite! I hate you only have a tiny line in this song. I love your voice!

I'm an ARMY and never fell so in love with another band but this boys are smth else, I'M HERE TO STAN THEM TO THE END

The fanchant! I don't believe this is their debut stage! It's so good

HI ATEEZ!! I bet you guys didn't know you were gonna be the first kpop bg to perform at coachella and the first kpop group to headline at mawazine 🥰🥰 THE TWO BIGGEST MUSIC FESTIVALS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!

who's here in 2023? srsly ATEEZ is a phenomenal!! This doesn't scream rookie to me. They're pro's since Day 1 👏🏻

When they get famous, I can finally say that I've been stanning since debut.

1:04 and that how he became my bias

There is no way this was their debut, they are PROFESSIONALS!!! Wish I were there since day one but I know I will stay here forever

I see the fire and passion in their eyes. Im not dissing on any groups but I haven't seen this much drive in a group in a while. I know they're gonna be bigger than just a small group from a not too well known company. I see it. They're gonna surpass people's predictions and expectations. Ive just found them so im not too sharp on their positions and history but that maknae... With a voice like THAT. If he keeps training and strengthening his voice he may be unstoppable. Mingi has a unique tone in his voice which works very well. You need rappers to sound unique cause they stick more. Hongjooon... Ive seen clips he seems like such a great leader. I can tell he will lead them to greatness and success. People will know the name ATEEZ not just as another kpop boygroup. People will see them as record breakers and norm changers. They are very unique with their songs and concepts. I hope it stays that way because that is what will help them achieve their dreams. Proud to be a baby ATINY. Can't wait to look at this comment in a couple years and cry because of how amazing they've done❤

If they don't make it big than I don't belive in this world anymore

*this my friends is how u debut*

Looking at how much they’ve changed within two years.. they’re so fetus here🥺

debut san is such a cutie pie🥺🤏🏻

I remember watching BTS's old performances when they weren't big yet and seeing comments from years ago saying "They're gonna be big one day." And I'm going to leave this comment right here, and later when a few years pass and my prediction has come true, I'll return and read with tears in my eyes. They're gonna be big one day , I swear.

I’m so happy I got to finally see them debut!

Just finished watching Ateez Code Name, then come here to watch their Pirate King's debut stage. And now look at them on kingdom, they're compete with big groups! I'm so proud with them!!

Hello I'm from the future. Just want to say that you guys dominate the world right now. You guys went to Coachella and will go to Mawazine next month :) both of them are one of the biggest music festival

*AM I HEARING FAN CHANTS ALREADY?*

You could FEEL how strong their stage presence was. AND THOSE FANCHATS???????

How are they already this good when debuting???

Every time I come back to this song I am filled with pride. From the very beginning, they had my heart. My eight pirates 🏴‍☠️

I'm an *ARMY* and not gonna lie I see *Daesang* winners in them.. Let them make their own way and *see them reaching top* .. *They have great potential* ..

THE BOYZ, STRAY KIDS and ATEEZ, next generation.

It didn’t even seem like a debut stage, that’s what legends do

I’m still here in 2024 for this facial expression 1:13

1:13 WOOYOUNG SWEETIE THIS IS YOUR DEBUT STAGE-

KQ Where THE HELL Did You Found These God Made Children? THEY Have everything Vocals,Rapping,Dance,Visuals,Performance,Expressions when dancing Like HONESTLY

can we appreciate how ateez didn’t look like rookies when they debuted, this goes to show their professionalism and power stage presence! proud to be an atiny since debut days

ateez is the only other group aside from seventeen that’s full of the most powerful dancers.

_HANDS DOWN FOR THE BEST DEBUT OF THE YEAR_

the difference omg- ateez performing : scary , hot asf , serious ateez not performing : the most dUmBeSt cRacKhEadS WTF DDJXJDHXBX

ateez, you’ve come so far and i’m so proud of you. i’ll be here by your side supporting you always 🤍✨

It's been 4 years and today, you even have younger brothers groups. Seeing your debut again, I feel nostalgic.

I swear Choi San is the epitome of duality.

This was their debut???? Holy shit they look like they been doin this for years....just discovered them last week

i regret my decision for not stanning them earlier

all the comments that say " they're gonna be big " make me tear up. they really are big now

*ATEEZ* *STRAY KIDS* *NOIR* *THE BOYZ* *GOLDEN CHILD* *LOONA* *G-(IDLE)* *IZ*ONE* _The future of kpop is bright and safe indeed_

If it weren't for the title I would have never guessed this was a debut stage.

WHEN I watched this the first time, it was five years ago, after watching the premiere of the Pirate King video. I finally got to see it performed live at KCONLA23!!

So, I need to come back here everytime there's a new group debuting, to see what makes ateez's performance so different compared to the others, except their bop song. Because no matter how I see it, it's not like any other group debuting not having good dance, their dance routines are also good. I still can't put my finger on why ateez's stage performance looks more outstanding to me.

I like this, they don’t seem like a copy of anyone and seem very true to* themselves.

Me a bts stan: I don’t think I’ll ever get into any other groups Ateez: *exists* Me: ahAhA never mind 🥴

ive watched this multiple times and only now realised this is their debut performance oml

ok so it is iconic enough to still come back to see their debut again and again even after they performed at Coachella but then I once again realized why I started stanning them, they are such talented and hard-working idols the first stage filled with such energy it looks like they have been performing from last 8 lives or something

dang wooyoung has STAGE PRESENCE

Among TXT ITZY Everglow etc etc ATEEZ is the best rookie. They got mind blowing music, vocals, rap, stage presence and looks? Omg they are killing me with those charms.

Reading all these comments from years ago makes me realize how far they have come, but we have to support them so they become even bigger 💔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Came back to this video and to this day I still believe this was Jonghos best look and outfit

I have a feeling they’ll be big. If they end up being big, well... Congrats Ateez for being the first group I will be stanning since debut. Btw, this is the first group that I have liked every single song from their album, literally this group is becoming all my firsts.

If you stan Ateez, raise your hand. If you don't stan Ateez, raise your standards.

ok but the NOSTALGIA i feel right now- IM SO PROUD OF THEM GOD DAMNNN

so youre telling me that this was their debut stage? NO F WAY AHHH I TOTALLY STAN

THAT WAS AMAZING IM SHOOK GOODBYE

That Yeo Sang is slayin'!

wooyoung and seonghwa being deadly ever since debut

its almost going to be 5 years of this bop debut, love u ateez!! 😭❤

I’m sorry but with this kind of debut stage they EARNED the title Rookie of the year.

It's so hard to believe that this is a debut song 'cause damn- *what a powerful impact*

i wasn’t here for their debut but god have they come a long way. from worrying about not having an audience to selling out stadium tours in the USA

Im an army and Ive never seen another group other than BTS with this much potential and energy/passion, they wont be the next BTS theyll be the first and only ATEEZ theyre going to be huge one day I can see it

Stray Kids and Ateez are my new favourite groups

Stan Ateez! 0:23 Yunho 0:29 Seonghwa 0:36 Mingi 0:44 Jongho 0:51 San 1:00 Wooyoung 1:28 Hongjoong 2:39 Yeosang

Coming back here after xikers debut. They are just like their Ateez sunbae full of passion and talent.

I still find it crazy that ateez was practically unknown in their debut days.. but now they’re super big and the first boy group to go to Coachella!

STAN THEM, I WANT TO SEE THEM PERFORM AT MAMA 2019, MMA 2019 AND MOREEE STAN ATEEZ

So has anyone found out what shampoo seonghwa uses yet? His hair be silkier than my prom dress

Bro I’m here after they released another stage of this In 2021 They’ve grown so much 😭 Also Yeosangs drop on Hoongjoongs part went from 2 hands to 1 hand in the new one 😳

I will always comeback here to see this extraordinary performance by Rookie group

2:56 the dancers in the back are me running around with my ateez flag spreading the word about them😂😂😂

'Will You Be My Friend?' is the highlight of the song. And congrats for your debut, guys. Good luck, keep healthy and always happy 😚

Why this popped on my recommendations, still not complaining

i dont think ive ever been so impressed with a groups stage presence until i watched ateez perform

I love Ateez because they are so unique compared to others in the industry, they aren’t being restricted into this small box and following the same trends like many groups are doing in the industry at the moment

ATEEZ be slaying their debut stage with so much charisma ugh they're killing it!!!!!!

here to see if it matches enhypen's outfit and IT MATCHES AND WOW THE SONG AND CHOREOGRAPHY ARE SO GOOD HOW IF ENHA PERFORMS THIS LATER AT KCON?????????

Ok but san looks like a baby here. I feel like he’s changed the most, regarding appearance
