With ATEEZ Becoming The First K-Pop Group With The Most Wins On “Immortal Songs” Here Is A Must-Read Guide

Due to the recent release of ATEEZ‘s latest comeback ‘BOUNCY‘ (K Hot CHILLI PEPPERS) and a previous announcement by numerous articles in June stating that ATEEZ is the first K-Pop group to have the most wins on the popular South Korean TV Show “Immortal Songs”. Many fans stated that this could be their own way to gain respect from individuals who may not know K-Pop idols or artists from a small rather unknown company. 

Within this article, we will look into ATEEZ and a must-read guide for every new ATINY, or maybe if you are just a casual supporter or listener wanting to learn more history about the artist that may be in your friend’s playlist and just want to connect with them more. Or are you someone who has been seeing ATEEZ’s recent feature on COSMOPOLITAN Magazine? 

The image within the thumbnail is a photo that brought in many new fans for a very important reason. ATEEZ performed in front of military individuals and former military members. Previously on the same show, ATEEZ would gain lots of attention for performing BlockB’s NILLILI MAMO X BigBang’s Fantastic Baby, Black Cat Nero, Right Now, It’s Raining, and more. 

Before ATEEZ was known as ATEEZ and their various performances and releases such as ‘BOUNCY’, ‘WonderLand’ or ‘HALAZIA‘ they would make their first appearance as KQ FELLAZ on May 18th, 2018 with their iconic and addicting [ Performance Video I ] would be the first for many who either go back to the video and credit the video to either getting them into K-Pop and performances or wanting to get into dancing as a hobby in general. 

It wouldn’t be long until they released numerous performance videos that quickly gained attention, some of the members getting attention for previously being on the survival show [ MIXNINE ] which originally aired its first episode in 2017 and their final episode in 2018. 

While being introduced to fans as KQ FELLAZ, the show would release episodes every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 pm South Korean Standard Time before the group announced their self-made single and final episode ‘FROM‘ which features Lee JunYoung who wouldn’t debut with ATEEZ due to only having one month of training at the time. It would be one of the first times fans would hear MinGi‘s ‘Fix On’. (In many clips of former live streams, ATEEZ members have assured fans that Junyoung is doing fine and is healthy)

Despite their fears and the common question, ‘Will anyone really show up?’, ATEEZ would be able to successfully complete their fan meeting and perform one of the most well-known K-Pop Songs and viral hit, EXO‘s ‘Growl’ even releasing a performance video which you can watch here. They have also performed this numerous times showcasing their ever-growing skills as idols.

Official Debut, First Win and most recent comeback ‘BOUNCY’. 

After successfully finishing up their reality show with Mnet despite many fears and hardships, not only would ATEEZ release [ Intro Long Journey Trailer ] (Narrated by Maddox) on October 19th, 2018 but they would soon follow it up with achieving one of the first of many; 1 million views for ‘Treasure‘ and ‘Pirate King‘ which took lots of understanding and fan conversations about streaming on numerous social media platforms and frustration of lack of views due to YouTube freezing many individuals views despite coming from legitimate accounts. 

Paired with learning how to stream and learning how to vote on South Korean Music Show Apps alongside guides or questions answered by South Korean ATINYs (Destiny + ATEEZ), the hard work would prove to have been worth it since ATEEZ would gain their first win on June 20th, 2019 and achieve their first encourage stage and South Korean TV Show Music Show win thanks to the song ‘WAVE’. 

Not only does ATEEZ have their own exclusive content platform curated for ATINY with special and sometimes exclusive photos and despite the uncertainties they once faced, fans would show their thanks to ATEEZ by not only self-creating the group’s official light stick alongside My Music Taste for #2_years_with ATEEZ but shower them with awards: “MTV Europe Music Award“, “Seoul Music Awards“, “BONSANG Award“, “MAMA Award“, “Golden Disc Award” and “Mnet Asian Music Award“. 

Did you know that within their releases ATEEZ is known within the fanbase for not only having the members vote for either ‘Wave‘ or ‘Inception‘ and how they were promoted but for often having dual title tracks: 

‘Treasure‘ & ‘Pirate King‘. [ Treasure EP 1. All To ZERO ]. 

‘Say My Name‘ & ‘HALA HALA‘. [ Treasure EP 2. Zero to ONE ].

‘Wave‘ & ‘Illusion‘. [ Treasure EP 3. One To ALL ]. 

‘Inception‘ & ‘THANXX‘. [ ZERO: Fever Part 1 ]. 

Since previously releasing music since their debut, ATEEZ has become a HOT topic with their most recent comeback ‘BOUNCY’ (K Hot Chilli Peppers) with clever marketing tactics using K Hot Chilli Pepper Boxes with special fan gifts for fans who attended Music Bank. Some even ask, ‘Are they having a sale on chili peppers?’. Many even saw ATEEZ’s promotion for their album on a subway car too. ATEEZ would also recently thank fans for passing 10 million views for the song as well.

Although the K-Pop industry may be overwhelming at first or you are unsure if you can support another group or artist, there is nothing wrong with expanding and finding new interesting music and storylines you enjoy. As long as you are healthy and being respectful to fans and yourself that is what matters, I hope this article helps you in whatever way it is.
