I ~think~ the working theory right now is that since the album is called "Will" possibly as in "free will" which is something that has been programmed out of people in strictland and prestige academy (where HJ is) maybe this is hala hongjoong offering his hand to see if she'll simply follow along like she's "programmed" to do but she clearly makes the choice not to follow him which may indicate free will has been returned. The creepy smile is maybe HJ smiling because their plan to overthrow the strictland government from within is working.......or all this is completely wrong and our hongjoongie is just going down a dark path (which...would also be very hot so we are here for darkteez lol)

But she half smiled, so she showed emotions, maybe Mingi is waiting for her

More lore dump haha. I just commented on your diary film reaction that that Ateez was in A dimension. This Ateez, in the The World series, is in Z dimension, and this city is known as Strictland. The government has classified all emotion and anything that causes emotion (art, music, dance etc) as illegal. The Presitge Academy (the building) is where people are sent to school to basically unlearn their emotjon. It takes 40 years to complete. Those who fail basically have their souls removed and turned into Androids (the masked white spiky face guys that follow Ateez). This side of the story you can see visually through the album trailers for Movement, Outlaw and now Will. They’re trying to free the citizens from this system so they can feel emotion again. Without spoiling too much, I think that girl at the end is either undercover, or just still has emotion, hence her slight smile, so Hongjoong is evilly pleased Ateez’s plan is working.

You are a beautiful person and I will be forever grateful for your explanations!! 🫶🏻❤️ Ok I actually remember seeing something about that back when I first saw Guerrilla (around with it came back). If they destroyed the building in Bouncy, then this is before?? Ohhh ok, so Ateez is running a secret subversion basically This is so interesting!!!!! I love stories like this!! Thanks again!!!

@@StayMultiverse No problem!! I love the Ateez lore so much, so I love doing these little summaries (there are a ton of theories within the fandom but a lot don’t take into account the actual canon events from the diary albums/trailers so you gotta be careful, especially when you’re new to it. I’ve seen a lot that contradicts their actual story 🥴). Yes in Bouncy, Hongjoong shot one of the the android guardians in the school. So it’s a bit unclear if this trailer is before or after since the school is still intact here. I know you haven’t watched Movement yet but I think this trailer and Movement’s seem to have more continuity than Outlaw’s did, but either, you can get the overall picture that yes Ateez (HalaTeez) are the rebels in the system trying to overthrow a tolitarian state. To tie it back into the pirate theme, although we call this version of Ateez, HalaTeez (even the members use this term now lol), in the actual lore they are called The Black Pirates 😉

The plot borrows heavily from sources like Equilibrium, but what Ateez adds on top of that is a coming of age story--asking what kind of person do you want to be (who are you/who am I in multiple lyrics) and what is important to you (what is your treasure). That's the journey that the teens from Fever embark on, and why there are so many nods to Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. I'm guessing that we'll have an answer to both those questions when we get to the end of this plot. The world they've built is rich in references to film, literature, anime, visual arts, so it's fun to pick out what you can recognize.

I think grungeteez is coming and I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited about it. The trailer is just amazing. I mean, I am just so happy for what they are bringing I can't wait and they all look amazing and HongJoong smile is iconic. The album is Will so you have an option to chose, the lore is very complex and there is the propaganda that is sold and the reality, they want people to wake up but they need to want too. In the last album they were conflicted about the reality and dealing with pain and all bad emotions that are attached to reality, like the Matrix and the red and blue pill. But at the end of the last album they made a choice, they are neither heroes or foes, they are outlaws, they make their rules. I see in their next album they gonna use that to still work trying to help people to chose. That bass is very Nirvana and my grunge teen ass from the 90"s got so happy about it. The style is very Metropolis, they have several references to Sin City also. We going Noir this comeback. There are a few videos about lore that you might wanna check out, but not sure you will have lot of time to see while trying to catch up with their songs.

you can think of this world like a dystopian version in the book 1984. Strickland land which bans emotions, any free will. The name of the album is will and the girl rejecting hj means she fallowed her own will which by all means cannot happen in Strickland and that is why HJ smiles Ateez now halateez in strickland have broken the lack of no will.

The visuals and visualing!!!! I may have screamed a little seeing Yeosang in that see through shirt. The concept photos felt more Alice in Wonderland vibe, but this gives straight noir gangster film. Lore-wise, very broadly: This is Universe Z or Strickland. The government controls peoples emotion and Ateez has been trying to wake people up using music and dance. The Prestige Academy features heavily in the story. My initial feeling is this is Ateez but they are losing the battle. The government is cracking down harder and people no longer trust Ateez. Hence why they all seem angry and the girl refused to go with HJ. Or this is a Halateez comeback. And we're getting part of their story, which would be amazing!

so it's a speculation by atinys and it might just be true but all the concepts (especially the first two) are sort of a mix of their treasure era but also of Alice in Wonderland. A concept (in uniforms) is Alice Diary concept (royal) is the Queen Z concept (neon) is the Cheshire Cat.
