Dont even care about the competition anymore, they ate the stage up PERIODT

*Mnet: It's LEGENDARY WAR.* *Mayfly: Nah. It's LEGENDARY FRIENDSHIP.*

We really don't talk about Seonghwa's opening enough. That man is dangerous.

This song was the perfect ending to Kingdom. Our guys got treated badly, but they pushed on, performed amazing stages, and were humble and kind and made all sorts of new friends.

Everyone: performing so seriously for the crown Ateez: performing happily cause kd ended and they’re free

The only group that trended after their performance today. They didn't do it for the fame but the impact.

I just noticed now that even the back dancers keep facial expressions no matter what

Seonghwa intro is the most badass thing in the world

This is how all the effort everyone put in Kingdom should be celebrated, they threw a party and not just a performance. Ateez didn't think of winning but to have fun and congratulate everyone for all the things they did. I'M SO PROUD OF THEM

but why is literally *every* ateez performance so meaningful? they're geniuses.

The fact that ATEEZ became 1st place in most of the expert and group votes, however their ranking dropped as a result of global evaluations because they were not known this much back then; but right now, their performance videos are the most watched and streamed Kingdom videos breaks my heart a little. I wish they would have won the competition because they were unique in every sense. Other than this, I get really proud of them every time I watch these performances and now they will perform for the Coachella stage. I guess Kingdom was a preview of the many future successes we will be witnessing for our ATEEZ. Go go go go ATEEZ!!

ATEEZ' performances are on another level. They are not just dancing and singing, but also acting and storytelling. Acting always on point

Why is no one talking about The Leaders, it's like they're saying they're The Real Leaders

*The only bad thing about this stage was that ateez performed first instead of last. This would have been been the perfect send off/closing ceremony performance for everyone*

뭔가 이기려고 나온 사람들이 아니라 놀려고 나온 사람 같음..

You can’t even tell San lost his grandfather just a few days before. It’s been over a year but I hope he’s doing ok getting over that pain. It probably doesn’t ever go, his grandfather raised him. Hope he continues to shine like this but first and foremost takes care of himself ❤️

For non ATINY and new fans, the song that played in the beginning is a b-side from their latest album, its called The Leaders!

This is literally the funnest stage lol, They're straight up partying and I freaking love it

경연곡이지만 공감성 부담 없이 볼 수 있다는 게 무엇보다 신난다는 게 장점인 것 같음 더 스트레스 받고 싶지 않을 때의 노동요로 최고임 우리는 우리의 일을 하고 있을 뿐 반드시 이겨야만 한다는 독기로 매 순간을 살 필요는 없고 때로는 그게 더 멋있다는 걸 정말 잘 보여줌

At first I was confused when I saw them dressing up like cool gang kids while others were like charming princes. But this what makes them so unique. The real is probably not my fav song from them but performance wise, I think this song always highlighted their skills on stage, beside Wonderland. They opened the intro and final stage of Kingdom. They were the youngest but they were so brave. I'm so proud of them. Can't wait for the vogue korea and Europe tour :)

Ateez threw a party on stage while celebrating their heritage, ending bullying, inviting their friends for food later and vibing like the amazing artists and people they are. Their energy is amazing, and they're going to be HUGE.

Mnet: "no interactions between groups, please" Ateez: "okay" *runs towards btob and stray kidz

웨이크원애들 개잘한다고 생각했는데 원곡자는 진심 다르구나 ㄷㄷ 이런 그룹을 지금 안 게 너무 아깝다 지금부터라도 잘 챙겨봐야겠네

약간 막판이라서 힘 뽝 준다는게 아니라 나 여기서 존나게 잘 놀다 갑니다 라는 느낌이라서 너무 좋았던 무대였음

Seonghwa fixing his tie is the sexiest thing ever.

ATEEZ really said: fuck competition, we're here to vibe with our friends

솔직히 파이널 무대는 얘네가 찢었음.....아직도 찾아보는 무대는 이게 유일함

Rewatching this I found out San steps on Yunho’s foot at 4:31 and he acts like nothing happened, that’s so professional I’d have cried lmao

No one talking about Jongho's breakdance. He's really all-arounder Edit: yea I mean krumping. Sorry I don't know much about dance. but HE'S SO DOPE!!

Jongho's apple breaking at the end was the perfect way to end this marvelous performance

I am sorry but ateez just overpowers when it comes to performing. The amount of presence i feel from them through a screen is unmatched. Like they say, there are levels and ateez are just on a other level

당시에도 레전드 경연곡이라고 생각했지만 경연 최적화곡으로 유명해진거 너무 신기하다,, 어떤 경로든 이 무대를 보러 온 사람들 반갑습니다

Ateez: Friends? Mnet: No, this is a competition-- Everybody else: FRIENDS!

let's talk about Yunho he is totally popping off as expected from ateez's ace and his outfit looks great on him

hold up tho…. cause this stage alone deserved the win. this is something brand new and classic at the same time

암만 봐도 파이널에 이렇게 즐길 수 있는 노래를 가져온게 ㄹㅇ 멋 그 자체 ㅇㅇ 멋더리얼 닉값

As an atiny, I'm not surprised they didn't win just because the circumstances weren't in their favor. They are missing their main rapper therefore leaving only one official rapper in the group, they are the youngest group here, and most likely have less fans than most of the groups on KD. But winning isn't everything, and I think we did win in a lot of ways. This last performance ateez just stopped caring and had fun! It's amazing to see idols genuinely smile on stage while having that much fun. Also as the song lyrics entail, they showed their real selves and real values & beliefs during this performance and I really respect that. Goes to show how ateez are genuinely great people and I'm glad they showed who they are so well on KD. They also gained quite a few fans during KD and gained new friends! Hongjoong cant say Seonghwa is his only idol friend now, because he has Jinhwan from Ikon and Bangchan from SKZ! 😂 And also seeing two of my ult groups interact and become friends (atz & skz) was absolutely amazing. In conclusion, I think every group here is a winner. Good luck to all the kd groups in their future activities, and also huge congratulations to my boys stray kids!! Can't wait to watch the reality show they won 😄 Edit: WOW thank you so much for all the likes!!! I didn't expect my long rant to interest anyone 😅

ateez weren't lying when they said this performance will make our shoulders go high up with pride

I'm a diehard STAY but objectively speaking, this is my favorite finale song.

오디션 프로그램 등지에서 하도 커버를 많이 해서 알게되었는데 "이게 바로 멋인기라"의 충격은 그야말로 대박이다 킹덤에서 처음 나왔을 줄은 몰랐네 경연곡인데도 미친 퀄리티 뭐냐 ㄷㄷ

The biggest win is non-stans finding out about ATEEZ through Kingdom.

I can't believe that someone can dislike Ateez's concepts. They are real performers. I know we didnt win, but for me Ateez will in first place always.

I'm not Atiny but to me this was the performance that REALLY understood the assignment. No masks, no playing characters, not even sticking to the group lore, you can really see their personalities shine. It's really THE REAL. It was so refreshing, much respect

코첼라 무대 뒤늦게 보다 여기도 보고갑니다 정말 멋지네요👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This stage is so fun that Changsub is literally broken. He’s not functioning well 4:13 😭

Don't be afraid to join the fandom . We have subtitles

진짜에서 겸손으로 바뀌고 마이크로 멋 글씨까지 웃긴데 실력 받쳐주면서 자유롭게 즐기는게 진짜 '멋'있네

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why ATEEZ is the standard

Honestly, I think ATEEZ just won everyone’s heart with this performance.

Apple Breaking, Tongues Out, Dancing like they just don't care... Just ATEEZ doing ATEEZ things. You love to see it.

킹덤 무대 다 챙겨봤는데 지금까지도 기억에 남는 유일한 무대임 세트 구성이 진짜 신박했고 멤버들 실력은 말할 것도 없고,,, 악동 느낌이 넘 조음

예의,겸손은 지키되 자신감은 넘치게 . 이야 노래 기깔나게 좋네

people kept coming back here not because they're still thinking about the competition but because this is just so addictive.

whatever the results, ateez have won the people's hearts tonight

하 처음에 선도부 딱 우영이 파트부터 나오는데 섹시미 레전드임... 기승전결이 완벽했음 몇년이 지났는데도 계속 보러오냐ㅋㅋㅋ

보이즈 플래닛이랑 피크타임 보고 노래 너무 좋아서 무대보러 왔는데 와 진짜 개멋있다..

Jongho couldn’t resist breaking the apple at the end. Legendary

ATEEZ's SCHOOL ROLE Hongjoong: The Delinquent Seonghwa: The Subtitute Teacher Yunho: The Hiphop Guy Yeosang: The Fashion Guy San: The Principal Wooyoung: The Jocks Jongho: The Rock&Roll guy Mingi: The CCTV

진짜 라이브 미친 애들임 참고로 얘네 멤버들 대부분 연습생 때 음치 몸치였었고 다 노력으로 이긴 거임 이렇게 라이브 잘하고 지쳐도 표정연기는 또 기깔나게 하는 에이티즈같은 그룹 몇없다 진짜 나 보이즈플래닛 때 멋 노래 좋아서 찾아보다가 에이티즈 입덕하게 된 건데 입덕하면 ㄹㅇ 후회 없을 듯 실력은 4세대 남돌 탑이라 해도 될 정도임 참고로 여기 멤버 두 명이 에이티즈 노래 대부분 작사작곡하는데 노래 진쩌 좋음 에이티즈는 타이틀곡도 미쳤지만 수록곡이 진짜 좋음 유토피아라는 노래 들어보면 수록곡 치고 되게 좋음

코첼라 무대보고 생각나서 킹덤무대들 정주행중임

I became an ATINY thanks to Kingdom!! Even though they didn't win, they 100% won my heart ^^

I know many Atinys keep coming back to this even though we are not rushing for views anymore. Like me, i woke up this morning feeling like i havent had enough of this performance and that i need to watch this again and again. The feeling towards this performance is so meaningful. Atinys, lets celebrate the fact that Ateez has made an IMPACT. A HUGE IMPACT.

노래 진짜 잘뽑았다... 계속생각남 큰일났음..

에이티즈에이티즈 이름만 들어봤지 이번에 킹덤에서 무대 처음 봤는데 이정도로 잘하는 줄 몰랐음 방금 킹덤 정주행 하고 왔는데 이 무대랑 러브포엠이 진짜 최고인거 같음

the people who disliked, is the people that can't agree that ateez is an iconic group inside of k-pop industry and has the most talented members.

the thing that makes this performance special is that they are interacting with everyone and had fun. this was literally ateez style. totally iconic.

제목값하는 무대..

코첼라 보고 여기까지 왔습니다

they really went from pirates, to anarchists, to royalties and now to cool and funky school leaders???? talk about versatility HAKDH ATEEZ ONLY

I'm saying it again: Ateez were the only ones who kept their storyline and style in each stage, and the fact that in the previous round they chose their own song and in this stage they made the most random, funniest and "ateez style" stage of all, makes it clear that they were there, not to show who was the best, they were there to show their essence, their colors... They were there to show WHO IS ATEEZ

This performance was legendary in so many levels

더비지만 개인적으로 킹덤에서 제일 좋아하는 무대. 구성이 너무 알차고 멤버들도 표정연기랑 에너지가 너무 좋아서 나도 모르게 영상에 빨려들어가는 느낌..!

They just don't give a fck about the competition. They just showing who they are, and what they enjoy to do on stage. Really a memorable performance.

I'M SORRY BUT THIS IS THE MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE I'VE EVER SEEN OMG I AM ACTUALLY CRYING

얘네가 이제야 좀 뜨기 시작한다니 ㅠㅠㅠ 다른 무대도 개잘하는 거 많음

원본보니 진짜 미쳣다.......... 이게 멋이구나하고 세뇌당하는중 진심 역주행 해주세요 제발

i'm not even biased when i say this was the most fun, energetic and engaging performance on the whole show

Why is no one talking about jongho's breakdance . He literally SLAYED 💜💜💜

역시 원조는 주기적으로 봐야 됨. 소름이 돋네... 개맛깔남.

멤버는 몇 알았는데 이런곡은 피크타임보고 알았네ㅋㅋ 로투킹 무대는 좀 봤는데 킹덤은 안봐서 몰랐ㅠ 노래좋다

Biggest flex: Ateez walking in with The Leaders playing with no f*cks given

This legit already looks like a MV rather than a stage, on how it was formatted and I'm kinda living for it haha

볼 때 마다 느끼는 건데.. 대체 산이는 머리세팅을 얼마나 빡세게 해야 저 격렬한 안무를 견딜까 싶게 머리 끝까지 안무하는거 너무 대단함

Hongjong, the cool and talented man that he is, whose melodic rap and voice timbre is chef’s kiss. Seonghwa has a different persona on stage, dancing and singing is top-notch, man I can’t comprehend how but he does. Yunho, big guy who’s got big moves and we can’t forget his vocal range. San has grown from having Shiber to him giving us shivers when he performs. Yeosang, his low vocals really is pleasing to the ears. Mingi completes the package, man be spitting words as deep as his voice. Wooyoung, the charming guy with equal amount of talent for dancing and singing, charismatic on stage, charming off stage. Jongho who eats CDs for breakfast, lunch and dinner be hitting high notes and still slaying dance with so much energy. These young gents are gems. Their performance is grand, their talent is intimidating and has endless potential, they are the leaders, kings and they win!

Hongjoong's vibe here screams "I'm born to be an artist" snatchin' wigs left and right

This is Ateez : - The group that is so expressive, they use different outfits, different styles, just to show the world that they really have different flavour and colours... - The group that perform the song that is all about love, no hate just love... - The group that show the humble and kindness, even in the competition, they really show an attitude... - The group that is the maknae (younger) in this competition, they really show their respect to their sunbaenim (senior), not they bring all the grous banner, they also invite them to dinner (the korean meaning that is on banner) - The group that always show the legendary kingdom stages, this final last stages, they show one memorable stages full of happiness and humbleness, at the end they say goodbye and thankyou by bowing 90° only Ateez will do this... - The group that i stan with all my heart and the group that u also should stan, simply if u stan talent and attitude, u will easily love Ateez... Ateez may not win in Kingdom, but Ateez is the winner in Atiny's heart... Thankyou Ateez, really thankyou, Atiny really proud right now, and can leave this Kingdom Legendary War peacefully, 8 Makes 1 Team, Ateez...!!!

민기가 없어서 아쉽지만 역시 손에 꼽는 멋 무대는 킹덤 무대인 것 같다 .. 마지막에 종호가 사과 쪼개는거까지 완벽했음

[Little explanations for I-TINY who might want to know about hidden messages in this stage!] Ateez's performance had a lot of korean elements in it, such as : 1. 1:09, 1:55, 3:08, 3:51 (Wooyoung saying "dance coming up") , 4:37 Each members speaking the same phrase “this is what 멋 is” in their own dialect from their hometowns (different provinces) for the dialogue before each chorus, including Jongho’s ending with standard Korean used in Seoul 2. The leaders- 선도부 means 'leader for the good'. They are senior students allocated in the school entrance each morning with the role to looking over others, typically wearing an armband, just like how Seonghwa emphasised it at the beginning. 0:09 So Ateez is trying to convey that real '멋' (coolness?taste? for direct translation?) is all about the humble mindset, kindness and leading for good rather than just looking cool externally! Kind of like a social message embedded within the song which is very Ateez like haha. 3. The kites, lion dance, the little puppet play and Korean instruments mixed into the dance break were very original korean festival elements there too :) 4:04 4. The funny fact about the chickens is that it's basically referring to Korean word called 'chicken head' referring someone as 'foolish person', towards the bullies during Hongjoong's part basically! / the rice field goes with Hongjoong’s lyrical reference to the korean proverb- “rice plant bows down more it becomes ripe” - so to become more humble and modesty as you learn and experience to become a better person 3:29 5. The Korean words written in the flag(it's like a Korean pinata used during festivals called 박) beside everyone's team logos says "Kingdomz, well done for the hard work, let's have beef (classic fancy food to eat after big event in Korea) for dinner tonight", in a dialect , in very cheeky way! (That's why other teams are laughing) 3:48 6. When Wooyoung's part saying "bow in 90 degrees", that's showing respect to the elders/teachers, which is very humble and respectable way in korean Confucianism, which they played out very cutely with a wink 1:31 Big ramble here but I hope this could help to explain more of cultural elements embedded within the stage, which I thought was pretty cool as a Korean Atiny!

I can’t be the only one who keeps coming back here to watch this sickass performance

ㄹㅇ 간지는 이전 경연까지 해적이니 선동이니 컨셉 빡시게 잡고 나오다가 파이널이라서 힘 쫙 빼고 이기바로멋인기라 시전한 거임

역시 원조는 다르군요

I won't ever say this enough: Ateez and their respect for the equality of female and male backup dancers

Wooyoung didn't lie when he said final performance going to be LEGENDARY.

A man with black suit that man is so dangerous. He stole my heart

Its crazy that The Real now being cover a lot by other groups and survival show like boys planet, peak time etc

NO ONE: ATEEZ: LITERALLY HAD A FESTIVAL ON STAGE LOVE TO SEE IT

They really said f MNET and invited everyone out to eat after, not caring about winning or losing. Oh god I’m so proud of these boys 🥺😂

i think what really makes this stage so special is just how appealing it is not just for fans, but for the artists watching as well. ateez knows who their audience is, and they bullseye the target every time

에이티즈 무대 첨 보는데 미쳤는데요?????? 세 번 연속으로 홀린듯이 봤네요 와

This is literally why they r the only boy grp to win immortal songs thrice in such a short span of time(lesser than a year) They literally have so much fun on the stage that it makes me wanna go and join them They really do know how to entertain the crowd Amazing performers Ohh btw v all can rest now, v worked really hard during these past couple of months. Thank you ATEEZ and thank you Atiny’s, give yourselves a pat on the back. ATEEZ came third and that’s the biggest thing ever.
