Musicians react & analyze ♡ ATEEZ - NO1 (Hongjoong Solo)

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM? WE WANT MORE HJ. WE WANT MORE. Seriously, how did we get a random piece added to a "supposedly" last part of Golden Hour series midway through reacting to it, and it turns out to be the best nightmare we can dream of....that sounds weird, but you know what we mean. Saja boys at it again, now with the solo tracks, and our captain delivers something we've never heard from him. No need to blabber on, cuz we talk about everything we need to in the video, but just know that we were PLEASANTLY surprised to hear HJ sing in a different style, and give us a solo track that SOUNDS different from his usual music style as well. Whatever Seonghwa's cooking up in his backyard, we're in. Game's on. Let's get it with SKIN next time! And as usual, if you wish to see our reaction to EVERY SINGLE ATEEZ SONG from the very start, shows like KINGDOM LEGENDARY WAR, ATEEZ STRESSOR THINGS, FEVER ROAD, SALARY LUPIN, WANTEEZ, etc. as well as get access to our livestreams, head over to our patreon page at http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !!

The live version is much better. It's the first time I've seen Korean fans so energetic in a concert. I definitely recommend you to look at the live versions of all solos.

Fun fact: during their ongoing tour Hongjoong turns concerts into raves with his solo ❤️ he even brings oht DJ console and mixes live during concert ❤️ if you look through YT yiu will find some fancams from his performance HOW WAS THE SHOW?! 😂 Hongjoong effortlessly became a meme and then turned it on us using fan's excited shout 😅 I think it's super cool that KQ reached out to that fan for permission to use it, because let's face it, many people wouldn't...

I haven't seen it in person yet, but Hongjoong does a DJ set when performing this live for the concert, and it is gonna be insane. If you get a chance to see ATEEZ live in concert, you should absolutely do it.

He also changes the intro every concert which is so dope. One night some Atinys asked him to do dubstep next time. He asked if they're gonna be at another stop and they said Baltimore. He did dubstep in Baltimore 🥺 He's such a legend 🔥

They perform all the solo songs during this tour 😍 NO1 is such a banger man 🔥 May I ask, if you have a schedule for the solo track reactions? 🥺 Or are you doing them as they fit into your regular schedules? 🧡

My kpop bff, who doesn't really like ateez, knew I was going to wax endlessly about these solos, so he told me to describe each one in ten words and be done with it. NO1 is "Hongjoong is rapping at the club with Eiffel 65 or possibly Daft Punk's younger sibling." It did kind of get it out of my system, and it was a fun exercise. I went over ten words for a few, obv. Thank you for the lyrics explanation. I love wordplay and having it explained from other languages is somehow just as fun.

I saw HJ’s solo live last Sunday and MY GOD it was so fun, truly felt like a festival/rave. NO1 has become my favorite song off the album.

Hongjoong is so amazing for using the viral video and sampling it for the song. He even said that he added the "HOW WAS THE SHOW?!" but it's not as clear to find like the first part bc he mixed and edited it. Hopefully someone will hear it someday lol. All the solos are performed live during this tour, so it would be cool to check out some fancams of each solo song 😊 I so appreciate you guys providing correct/further explanation on the Korean translations. I feel like there are other reactors who don't get Hongjoong's lyricism bc they take lyric videos too seriously, even when knowing the translations aren't always correct or they lack context.

Just a heads up - Hongjoong co-wrote and produced 6/8 of the members' solo tracks. The only ones he didn't work on were Mingi's and Jongho's. The members all wrote or co-wrote their songs. We love to see Ateez putting their own ideas and words into their music ☺️❤️

Hypatia

I really love how you mentioned the vibe of being together/united because Hongjoong has talked about how the song is for Atiny and to really celebrate us or make us feel empowered. It's why he sampled the fan clip because it was something really unique to the fandom. He also has been customizing the intro for each concert so far, he's talked about how there are limitations because of lighting and other stage logistics but he's been trying out different styles. He has said he might not be able to do something really unique for every concert just because of those limitations but that he'll try to keep it interesting and fun for every show. I hope you watch live videos for all of the solos (some of them might kill you, fair warning) but NO1 especially its so damn fun to watch him dj and perform.

Live version, please!

Nor Za

its 'no' 'one' = no1 😃

Nella rose

I think u should react to the solos and the performance at the same time to see tho whole picture

I cannot wait to see this live on Saturday. He’s been turning every show into a rave and I am here for it. DJ Hongjoong is the one thing I did not know I have always needed.

eleeezabeth

it was my favorite song of the night at the NYC show, have SO much fun!!

Hongjoong is the main composer\producer\sometimes lyricist for everybody's solos but Mingi and Jongho. It's the first time he's been acknowledged with first credit before Eden. They were encouraged to work with whoever they wanted but 5 members chose Hongjoong to write their songs. The members chose what kind of song\mood they wanted and wrote their lyrics that were then often re-shaped by Hongjoong and the team to make them more poetic and\or less simple\direct\spicy. Seonghwa wanted something based off one of his animal nicknames as a viper so Hongjoong named it Skin, as in shedding yours.

But the Fact that he made it sound like she's moaning has me deceased
