Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = If the concept is consistent, it becomes an attitude.<\/p>\n
The ‘Pirate King’ group ‘ATEEZ’ no longer sings about concepts. The concept speaks in their songs.<\/p>\n
2: OUTLAW, the 9th mini album released by ATEEZ on the 16th, is proof. It is a series of ‘The World’ related to the 8th mini album ‘The World Episode One: Movement’ released in July of last year. <\/p>\n
‘The World’ reminds me of the dystopian atmosphere in George Orwell’s ‘1984’. You can get a glimpse of it in the lyrics of the song, \u201cEmpty eyes \/ Suffocated by the veiled silence \/ Only the silence of the stolen soul \/ As if paralyzed \/ Growing numb\u201d (from episode 1 \u2018Movement\u2019, \u2018Cyberpunk\u2019) As it is, a controlled society is the background. <\/p>\n
However, they protested, saying, “We are the Guerrillas, who will change the world with our Feel” (‘Guerrilla’, the title track of ‘Movement’), and said, “Release everything that was tied up \/ I can live without stopping.” No” (‘Outlaw’ title track, ‘Bouncy’), turning the board upside down. <\/p>\n
The production team ‘Eden-ary’ headed by ATEEZ’s exclusive producer, EDEN, is in charge of general production, and ‘Captain’ Hongjoong and member Mingi participated in writing the lyrics for all songs, further solidifying the color of the team. do.

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n(Seoul=Newsis) On the afternoon of the 15th, ATEEZ held a media showcase to commemorate the release of their 9th mini album at KBS Arena in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul. 2023.06.15.

The belief that gender, origin, age, religion, and country are not important, and that everyone can become one as long as there is music that makes the heart beat (‘Bouncy’), and for this, we want to improve in our own way (Outlaw). It proves that it is the most ‘best play’ that K-pop and its fans can do. <\/p>\n
The fandom ‘ATINY’ that sympathized with this part is also increasing worldwide. This album ‘The World Episode 2: Outlaw’ is certain to rank second in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, the US Billboard’s main album chart as of July 1, which is scheduled to be released on the morning of the 26th (Korean time). They fought fiercely for the top spot with American country star Morgan Wallen’s album ‘One Thing At A Time’ until the last minute. <\/p>\n
In particular, ‘The World Episode One: Movement’ ranked 3rd on the ‘Billboard 200’, and as a follow-up, the album chart itself was rewritten. Above all, ‘Movement’ sold 50,000 copies, but this time it sold 101,000 copies, doubling in the North American market. In addition, the first single in Korea, ‘Spin Off: From the Witness’, which was released as an event between the two mini albums, ranked 7th on the ‘Billboard 200’, so it was recorded in the top 10 for three consecutive times.
\n
In addition, ‘The World Episode 2: Outlaw’ recently entered the Top 100 on the UK Official Albums Chart (June 23-29) at number 10. This is the first time ATEEZ entered the chart. In particular, among the K-pop boy groups, only the global supergroup BTS and ATEEZ entered the top 10 of the chart.

With this album, ATEEZ broke its own record by achieving a million-seller in the first week (weekly sales after the album’s release). According to Hanteo Chart, it recorded 1,521,226 copies in the first week (counting period 16-22).<\/p>\n
Until now, ATEEZ had been navigators enjoying adventures on the sea, but now it feels more like a pilot. Pilots safely guide ships entering and departing from the port and assist in berthing. The reason why the new group ‘Psykers’ of the management company KQ Entertainment quickly drew attention was because they were a junior group of ATEEZ. Hongjoong put a lot of effort into their debut album, their 1st mini album ‘House of Tricky: Doorbell Ringing’. <\/p>\n
Also, with this album, ATEEZ broke the prejudice. There was a point of view that their recognition in Korea was weaker than overseas, but the title song ‘Bouncy’ received a great response with the ‘Cheongyang Pepper Vibe’. On KBS 1TV’s ‘My Hometown at 6’, which aired on the 19th, ‘Youth President is going! – As part of the \u2018Gyeonggyeong Expedition\u2019 corner, they visited Cheongyang-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, helped with rice planting, and raised awareness. They operated vegetable trucks loaded with Cheongyang peppers all over Seoul and created a separate section for ‘Cheongyang peppers’ on Seoul Subway Line 2 for fun. <\/p>\n
In addition, it was also evaluated that it showed the ‘spicy Korean wave’ by publicizing the charm of Korean peppers, which are more than those from Thailand, Vietnam, and Mexico. In fact, thanks to ATINY overseas, it is said that inquiries related to Cheongyang peppers have increased.<\/p>\n
