Pond’sPhuphu

JUST PLAY THE EPISODE RJ 😂 jk i love how the video is 2 hours and 11 minutes im taking everything in enjoying every moment. Also Adam’s mad man act 10/10

shauni

seonghwa i might like women and you might like short kings but one chance PLEASE

DMays0711

They pretty much only do this version of Wonderland from here on out.

lauren

i'm so sad you guys didnt get to go to ateez's tour, they do this version of wonderland (with the kraken...and they gave seonghwa a sword) 😭 it's INCREDIBLE live

Seonghwaboop

YESSS SEONGHWA!!! I’m pretty sure Seonghwa said in an interview that he didn’t want to wear the corset for this performance but the stylist insisted that he should try it on. Literally such an iconic outfit ❤️

cat

as an atiny i just couldnt wait until you got to this ateez performance because EEEEEEEEEEVERYONE was gagged when it happen in real time truly, for me this also top 5 seonghwa looks so i get u so much besties

cat

ALSO I CANT WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO THE YOO TAEYANG OF IT ALL BC SHES A DIVA AND I NEED YOU TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM ASAP

zozo

while it isn’t a very good show in my opinion, i think y’all should watch imitation (the drama they were filming during sf9’s package) because it largely features sf9 and ateez and because i think adam would freak out (maybe start crying) over how cute and silly jongho is in it

Pond’sPhuphu

RJ and Adam I have a little suggestion. You don’t have to do it if it doesn’t make sense for you. My suggestion is when you do the Re-Born performances (from episode 4) it would be really cool, if you could listen to the original songs, before or after you watch the performance. NOTE: this is ofc only for the songs where you haven’t heard the original before. You can decide which makes more sense for you. To watch the original before or after. ☺️

Po

Yunho’s dancing is so good!!!😊

Davi

My new fave thing in your reaction videos is what new tidbit we'll learn from Adam. Today the history of Snufleupagus, can't wait for our next lesson.

Lisa M T

Amazing performances by al 6 groups. So many beautiful men in one place, I would have a stroke.

Jen T.

This Ateez version of Wonderland made me an Atiny when I saw a clip from KCON. Getting to see it live on their 2024 tour was surreal. I cried.

Dan

It’s been years and I still am not over the sheer level of serve Seonghwa has bestowed upon us here

Dan

And in the middle of a comeback?? Hello???

Reid Lava

I absolutely can’t wait for next week episode when they switch songs. It’s some of my favorite performances by far. And also on the minhyuk note… just wait and see episode 6 how he refers to and acts around a certain stray kidz member

JJ

just for some context (I feel okay saying this because you've mentioned before that you will never watch the skz survival show): their survival show was different from the classic survival show we all know (many contestants, voting and eliminations etc), they started the show as 9 members, were meant to show that they all deserve to debut together, were put through some shit (f you, jyp) by the producers, and ended up being "allowed" to debut as a 9 member group it is pretty clear that the members didn't know what was going to happen to them/the group but the producers very much did... all that to say, yes they certainly have traumatic memories of going through a survival show of sorts, but not like boys planet/fantasy boys/produce/iland/etc

Ri

I remember when I first watched this live at 3am, eyes half open, head buried halfway into my pillow, and then my eyes shooting wide open at that fucking kraken lol. But on another note, looking back retrospectively at this round, I kinda like the approach Ateez went to split the stage but keep each space its own setting. I think being able to retransform the space takes a lot of planning and creativity, but I also liked how Ateez used the stage to affirm the story and aesthetic.

Dia

There's something about chan and hongjoong in those dim studio lights that does something to me...

Mel

This episode is what made me an Atiny. Not just because the Ateez performance is crazy but also learning they were rehearsing it in the middle of a comback made be have so much respect for them. I'm so happy I've now seen them do this version of Wonderland live several times

Ashley

seonghwa? i think you mean elizabeth swan

sindrandi_

The parking lot is actually an abandoned school - Gimcheon Campus of Korea Health University. Construction was halted for years due to lack of funding and then they apparently officially gave up completing it in 2016-2017 and started renting the space out for dramas/MV's. There's a fun YT compilation with this and other often used locations >> https://youtu.be/IxNEZnctyz4?si=1XUyV0TCGXxb7ZH9&t=331 and some more pictures of the outside of the building here >> https://www.yoeltaom.as/blog/2021/8/9/abandoned-school-kpop-videos

Meredith Jones

The infamous building isn’t a parking lot, it’s an abandoned university but I can probably think of at least 10 videos that feature it off the top of my head so you’d be making good money if you rented a building like that out

Ashley

sf9's performance giving the homoeroticism of a vampire court. abso freaking lutely 100%. and you know what? what a lovely place to be

Brooke Mercer

The Wonderland reaction I’ve been dying to see. It was everything. 🥹

Dia

idk about the existence of jiwoong x minho literature, but if you're ever curious, there are minho, chan, and felix scriptures with almost all the ateez, btob, and tbz members; there are even some with nct members.

Gillian G

I'm seeing Wicked on broadway again soon. I don't remember hearing that click but I'll listen this time lol. Also I am literally obsessed with your stray kids reactions! I really hope it makes it to lore soon!

marielle

now that you guys have finally seen this ateez performance - hongjoong really did prophesize when he said there is ateez before kingdom and ateez after kingdom. this arrangement of wonderland is the only one they perform now and they always have seonghwa's moment with the weapon killing the kraken. it birthed an iconic moment from their coachella performance 3 years later. if you ever watch their coachella stage at some point you'll be very satisfied. also!!! since adam really loves this arrangement, you can stream/buy it on fever epilogue as well as their other songs they performed on kingdom.

Shona

I also love that this is the version of Wonderland that Ateez generally perform now

Alex P

I saw the original cast of Wicked on Broadway, but it was too many bad decisions ago to remember that click, sorry Adam.

Lara Lerke

i might have dreamed this, but i'm pretty sure seungmin and jiwoong are cousins

Auburn

That entire Ateez performance became a fight of who was my favorite! hongjoong is my bias, but every second, I was like wait a minute. Hold on. Wait. I was screaming and pumping my fists. It made me appreciate all the members more than ever. I'm so glad they gave seonghwa the "killing" part. He's an unearthly being and is probably my wrecker because of this. Yunho stood out to me like never before too! I thought to myself, "wow. he is made to be a center." And I can't talk about jongho. They came for this challenge's throat!

hattie1117

one week today im seeing ateez and i can't wait too see wonderland!!

nathalienathalie

honestly i dont think i'll ever get over the stage ateez did here for wonderland. they absolutely killed it!

Surya

A couple production notes: - the kraken tentacle is actually very cheap and easy to set up & use! skz used a similar thing but with spider legs for their maniac tour. it's just an inflatable prop so it stores and travels well and if you keep it in good condition, it'll last you forever. i think ateez also used this prop one of their tours/concerts pre-kingdom so this was sitting in storage - you're going to see this next week too but lighting/colour choices will have a HUGE impact on judging. take note of all the performances that relied heavily on red and how they ranked. the distanced live judging format was not fantastic for the early rounds of this show which is really a bummer - there was a bit of a scandal that you might've already heard about where the 6 teams were split between 2 pds, and each team told a different budget to their assigned teams. this is why TBZ, SKZ, and ateez have such elaborate production value compared to SF9, iKON, and BTOB. the budgets get figured out by next round though and it's really fun to see the other teams make up for lost time i genuinely think that this arrangement of Wonderland might be one of the most magical things to ever happen in kpop. it just works so beautifully. i hope you guys had fun watching and i can't wait for more!

Annika

Just a little context for the SF9 performance: I don‘t know if you know the movie/book perfume: the story of a murderer but i‘m pretty sure that is the story they wanted to portray. And I think they did well! It‘s basically about a man trying to create a perfume out of the scents of women he finds beautiful and killing them in the making. In the end the finished perfume is so intoxicating that he is worshipped by everyone and is basically able to control them and rule over them.

Auburn

I don't know much about all the groups, but I am getting my life. They all truly bring something special to the table. I can't get over SF9's stage presence and SKZ's creativity this episode. I also have to shout out iKon for being so cute for no reason. I loved it every time they cut to them, haha

len

omggg monsta x mention!!

witchworks

remembering that time a fan asked jongho what their roles would be on a pirate ship and he said seonghwa would be the captains wife

Emma

Dear god the camerawork in the sf9 stage was even more atrocious than I remembered. Poor Jaeyoon suffered so much and for what?!? I’m gonna have to go watch got7's python mv again to cheer myself up now!

gi ♡

This Ateez stage is everything. Honestly I had a feeling we's get Adam tears but RJ too! This performance does really encapsulate what I love about Ateez as a group - you can tell they're dead tired but they pull that insane energy out of nowhere. They still sing live even though San's voice is hoarse, and the way they execute every aspect of the performance is unmatched and so cohesive. It's a showstopper. It's not that there's no mistakes or that everything is 100% perfect, but they're so earnest and put in so much effort and that those things dont matter. Also props to Hongjoong (and Mingi usually) shouting out to give them strength.

dnajjks

That reaction to the Ateez stage (specifically Jongho note) was THE moment I was waiting to see and you guys did NOT disappoint! I'm also so happy you loved this arrangement, I really do too. In fact they have it on Apple Music / Spotify and I think I listen to that version more than the regular one. It even has the Kraken noise in it which I find hilarious lol

a weenie whistle

TBZ didn't have a survival show prior to RTK, but Juhaknyeon was a contestant on Produce 101 S2 (original Boys Planet). Back then, homeboy hadn't been training for very long, so he got the Daeul edit. Lots and lots of hate. SF9 and BtoB didn't have "Making the Band" survival shows, either.

._.Sage._.

some members of ateez actually have been on a survival show before! in 2017 every member auditioned for the show mixnine pre-debut and hongjoong, mingi, wooyoung, and jongho all participated in the show. hongjoong and jongho made it the furthest, ranking 42nd and 43rd when they got eliminated. honestly it's a really good thing that they didn't make it very far on the show, because the winning contestants' debut was cancelled and everything ended up in a lawsuit against YG.

aerifia

not sure about lee know/jiwoong literature but i've always thought they have a similar look and vibe

fantasomnia

While SF9 didn't have a show that made them specifically, they did have a competition show to debut. Similar to iKON who was on Who Is Next first, but lost their chance to debut to Winner, SF9 was on a show called Dance or Band (d.o.b) where they known then has NEOZ Dance, competed against NEOZ band to be the next group to debut at FNC. FNC started with idol bands (FT ISLAND, then CNBLUE), then debuted AOA who started out with a half dance half band concept, then idol band N.Flying, so when SF9 won d.o.b they were FNC's first full attempt at a dance only group. For it being their first time doing a big stage, with their weird schedules and a smaller budget, I loved what they pulled off. Thankfully they got invites to end of year shows after Kingdom.

Rain S

when san said they were ready to die for this.. i fear he wasn't lying😭 i can't even imagine how exhausted they were after this and promoting their cb

Tesa

Ateez truly knocked it out of the park! I went back and watched all their Kingdom performances recently and remembered just how gagged I was watching for the first time.. I'm so excited for all the next episodes!

Jess

SF9's back catalogue could be the soundtrack to a 90's drag road movie, it's so full of house music.

Sabrina M.

At the time of watching this show I was a stay and I didn't know a lot about all the other groups but let me tell you, this ateez performance left me mouth open, wide eyes, head empty, hands shaking. I was truly gagged, been a fan of ateez since. Like the fucking kraken what do you mean?!!? A moment truly

froyio

absolutely gagged by ateez

Waverly

As a kpop stan since 2008 I can tell you the deal with YG. Yang Hyun Suk(YG) became famous as part of an iconic k pop/hip-hop group called Seo Taiji and Boys. Before Hybe existed he was probably the 2nd most forward facing CEO of the big 3. He has also left all his positions at the company after a series of scandals. You can recognize him because he's always wearing this little hat lol

MBATNY50

LOVE that you are watching this season. This episode and performance was the reason I started to look into Ateez and eventually fell in love with them. I was just getting into K-pop and thought all the groups were amazing. However that performance and then the ending shot of Seonghwa, I was like I need to know more. The rest of the show and then just organically watching their previous MV’s and content and I was hooked. 100% Atiny!!! Seonghwa will always hold a special place for me but 8M1T all day everyday.

Henna

i'm so glad you guys are talking about minhyuk because i genuinely felt like i was going crazy the first time i watched kingdom. all of his little comments and just the way hes acting... i tried sleuthing around on twitter and no one was talking about it???? like ppl pls are we watching the same show??

K D

I'm overjoyed at Adam & RJ's reactions to ATEEZ's performance. I've been highly anticipating this moment in Boys Love Kingdom viewing. ATEEZ's sincerity and dedication to what makes them uniquely ATEEZ allowed them to shine brightly during Kingdom, causing many people to take notice-- starting with this performance. When Kingdom aired, it was so validating to atiny that a wider k-pop audience was finally noticing ATEEZ's talent. Not to mention that throughout Kingdom (no spoilers) ATEEZ made a point to design stages that they knew would have a special appeal to atiny, not worrying much about ATEEZ lore being lost on the general audience. They really said let's do ATEEZ, and they did it. All the way through. (I paused the video while Adam was collecting himself after watching the ATEEZ stage to type out this comment. Basically, we're all emotional here.)

onlyonlysun

yall have to see minhyuk in drag lol

Shmatreflon

Had a terrible shift at work and really needed this exactly perfect reaction to wonderland. Thank you friends.

gi ♡

I just know Michele's Atiny Ego is sky high right now

cabbage

lino and jiwoong are sisters! (but i am here for that)

Mizu

I love this survival show cuz u get to watch so many amazing performances and I cant wait for u guys to watch the other kingdoms as well

Everybody’s Noona

Whenever I go back to rewatch kingdom performances I always pick the version with the green room reactions 😂😂 the idol’s reactions make the viewing experience so fun, I love watching them fanboy over each other 🥹🥹

Vivi Android Cardigan

if you think this JYP presentation was performative, just you wait until episode 7. Chan will have an entire ode to the cafeteria and their organic food that doesn't sound scripted or weird at all! xD

Kassie Delong

Anytime I watch Ateez’s opening package I say “Yeah of course! Divorce ye jacks symphony! Why didn’t I think of that!?”

hayyy_png

also something about mr jyp is that he's a born-again christian, so considering the length of his career and the timeline of jypent, his church situation is relatively recent so the company definitely doesnt reflect his new found "values"

dnajjks

I REMEMBER SNACKS!!! JWO JWO DEO DEO DEO DEO DEO DEO JWO SNACKS! I barely even remember anything from that show, I don't even remember the members, but the thing I do remember is the songs from that round, I really liked them all. That was a no skip round simply in music quality for me, to anyone that sees this I recommend listening or relistening to the fantasy boys semi final album. My faves are Run and Hold Tight I love that coming of age sound

I_KPOP_Fan (Ry_Noona)

The round building all the kpop groups use in MVs is an old abandoned school building, the Gimcheon college building. However there is a second building that looks a lot like it that also gets used a lot but is on the Columbus studio lot in Korea. The Gimcheon one is multi-story and doesn’t have a roof, the studio I believe is two story and has a glass roof. The Gimcheon building has been used by Vixx, LOONA, Kim Lip, Victon, StrayKids, Oneus, Treasure, Verivery, Pixy, AB6ix, Ateez and many small groups and soloists, plus tv shows like Hotel Del Luna and Bad and Crazy.

Peikoririn

That seonghwa stance removed 10 years off my life I’m so serious

dnajjks

Also super random but I just realized that no team in this show is competing with the number of members they debuted with

dnajjks

THE KAI SCHOOL OF BEING FINE‼️‼️

Sara

You're not going to survive the sports day episode.

Holly

I was so excited to see y'all watch the Ateez Wonderland performance and it did not disappoint ahahaha

Kittyxo

They perform this version of wonderland for concerts now but seonghwa has a sword instead of a gun & experiencing it live is life changing

Ctrlcari

FUN FACT: Some of the ATEEZ members (Hongjoong, Wooyoung, Mingi, and Jongho) were on a survival show (Mixxnine) when they were trainees.

Naasrah Ali-White

Ateez's Kingdom Wonderland performance was what really changed the game for them. People finally starting taking notice and look at them today.

Ezbai H.

It’s funny you guys mention JYP seemingly still being at the forefront of the company since it’s named after him because all the big 3 companies are actually named after their founders (park jinyoung-JYP, yang hyungsuk-YG, lee sooman-SM) whom were all artists themselves before creating their companies. So would a common citizen recognize Lee sooman walking by on the street? No. But send him to the countryside with all the ajummas and they’ll be living:)

Adrian

you guys mustttt watch imitation its got hwiyoung chani jongho san and seonghwa so its a good post-kingdom watch

Celeste Kayla

I personally don’t Stan ateez and I’m doing a first watch along with you. That jongho(?) moment actually made me stream tears

SIMBA

The final ranking in this episode is very correct imo. Personally, The Boyz had the most interesting and unique concept, but when it comes to vocals rap and performance, Ateez and Stray Kidz took it. Ateez just beat stray kidz by having a fully fledged concept (and the extra bonus of Jongho’s vocals). The results make a lot of sense.

Shady_NewYorker

wait! what's the podcast tee about?!!!!!

Patricia

RE the hyunjin question: IF I remember correctly, the scandal broke before kingdom but it blew up right in between filming the episode 1 performances and the voting reveal (thats why he isnt there either), thats when he went on hiatus and production cut most of his shots/appearances, plus they apologized to the public that they couldnt cut him out completely before the first ep aired. That is also why stays ended up voting so hard during that 4 day period and the gap was so huge, everyone was really upset this was happening and had to channel it into something lol

andje

When you realize that ATEEZ brought this Wonderland performance to Coachella... and they still perform it at their concert (with inflatable kraken and sword). I honestly think that it is the most memorable performance that got out of Kingdom

Mackenzie Hoerl

You guys talking about JYPE putting on the board room show I was like true sister because someone needs to ask for a smoke signal from VCHA because those girls are locked in a basement somewhere…

Lindseyyyyy

okay so im happy to have found you two because I've been meaning to watch Kingdom and your commentary is making me laugh. also Hongjoong's face is so pretty and SEOMGWHA SLAYED THE HOUSE DOWN and also I love how y'all clocked Lee Know in two seconds. I know I'm commenting long after y'all have done this but basically I'm planning to get into all these groups because you are so excited about them like I've never paid much attention to the Boyz or SF9 before and like I know about ATEEZ but I haven't been into them and everyone seems so fun. so I guess like what y'all were saying with SF9 and ikon this show is like the best advertisement lol

Martha Ferguson

You might never seen this but Hellevator was filmed in an abandoned school building. It’s not just abandoned the whole area is not longer a registered administrative community. My friends and I had to climb through grown over areas to find it. I think when they filmed there it was a tiny bit more accessible.

Idk_my_bff_ki

I can promise that I was not expecting to hear a reference to the I-4 eye sore when I clicked on this but as soon as Adam said a building thy hadn’t been finished I thought of it immediately 😂😭😂😭

Lindsey

the irony is that Barbara from Shark Tank, lives in a mobile home I just found out. so....she may invest in your scheme---i mean...plan lol
