It reminds me of older asian movies with all the ridiculous special effects. And I think this video was inspired by a korean movie called Volcano High from 2001. It revolves around a troublemaking high school student named Kim Kyung-soo (portrayed by Jang Hyuk) who finds himself transferred to the last school that will take him, the prestigious Volcano High, an institution whose students display an incredible talent in martial arts, with a few demonstrating even more mysterious psychic powers. Kyung-soo is drawn into fights between different clubs, a manuscript that is told to hold great power, and a group of teachers that will do whatever possible to keep the students in line. I'm not quite sure if this MV is storyline related at all, or if it's just because they thought it would fit the song.

At this point I think it’s safe to say that everything that Ateez releases, besides special collaborations, is storyline. I don’t want to give any spoilers so all I’ll say is that diary version albums and narrations done by Maddox seem to give the most context. And I am pretty sure it is confirmed that Yunho and Jongho are not related in the storyline. In Yunho’s epilogue from one of the Fever Road episodes he said that Hongjoong reminded him of his brother so idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ Honestly, this comeback just maked me so excited for what Ateez plans for the future!🥰💖

There is a scene in inception where yeosang is on a bed with white feathers falling around him idk if that's what you were thinking of (?) also the ending melody is the same one from wave. The music at the end of eternal sunshine is the melody (?) of the real. Love the reaction

Well, the very ending of 'Turbulence' gave me a feeling of something very familiar which confused me at first. But then it hit me: the end of 'Turbulence' is the beginning of 'Wave' of course, which makes sense because 'FEVER' era is a prequel

I feel like they were broken when Mingi needed to have his break and his return has made them whole again and The Real felt like a celebration of them being together and strong. I kind of feel a bit like Turbulence is them acknowledging themselves growing up and evolving and them saying how hard that is. I don't know, I kind of get a sense of them moving in to a more mature phase. The Real is just so much fun. I LOVE that middle eastern kind of sound near the end.

This is my fist time commenting because usually I can never figure things out 😂 but this time I got some. About Turbulence, the original Korean title is 야간비행, which means “night flight”, so I guess that’s why they mention it a few times in the lyrics and the whole mv was shot at nighttime. As you said and as many atinys believe, I too am quite sure the whole Turbulence mv shows the consequences of Yeosang breaking the hourglass at the end of Deja Vu and, maybe, he puts his phone on airplane mode because he doesn’t want to face those consequences. Also, I want to say something about Wooyoung and San, since their storylines are connected: I think that Wooyoung starts to fly because he wants to reach San but he can’t because the hourglass is broken, or as other atinys said Wooyoung can fly because he has moved on, while San can’t because he’s still struggling with something, but I’m not sure. Some people even said that in the Wonderland mv Wooyoung may be chained bc they don’t want him to fly; I’m not sure about this one but it could be since the whole Fever era happened before the Treasure one. About the song, what game me goosebumps was Hongjoong’s reference to Fever lyrics when he said “passion, young, fever” and the melody of Wave playing at the end. Tbh the last part got me ugly crying because Wave is such a happy song about facing everyone’s struggles together, while here it sounds so sad. Honestly, the message of these two songs are similar and they both give so much hope but Turbulence feels so intimate and sad, I can’t even describe it. Moving onto The Real, the mv is full of Korean traditional elements, so I guess that’s why it’s extremely hard to decipher. First of all, the title 멋 means can be translated into so many different way: it means “cool”, “charm” but in Korean it’s something more; it both means those things but with respect and honor. I’m not sure it makes any sense because, again, it’s a very Korean concept but that’s why the chose to call it “The Real” and not just “cool”. Also, 흥 can be translated into “flourishing” or “prospering” and I’m quite sure we can all see the difference between the Kingdom version and this one, I mean this version is full of Korean traditional instruments. About the mv, many people figured out that Mingi is a new student and the others belong to different extracurricular clubs: Wooyoung and San are in the baseball team, Seonghwa and Hongjoong are in the calligraphy club (yes, Seonghwa is holding a calligraphy paintbrush, you were right) and Jongho and Yunho are especially bikers. I’m not sure about Yeosang role but it might be related to the storyline. As you said while reacting to Turbulence, both in the Inception mv and the diary film, Yeosang comes from a rich family and his parents are forcing him to study and play the violin. So, maybe, in this mv he’s still the rich kind and his waiting for the others to reunite before breaking free and join them. I hope it makes sense. I feel like this version is a celebra of Korean culture, but also a criticism of maybe the society or the school system. Since you were so curious about what some of the writings said, I’m gonna try to explain it. I’ve been studying Korean for two years, so it may not be precise but I’ll try my best. On the cover of Mingi’s book you can read 도덕, which means “ethics” or “morality”, while the book they are holding at the end is called 멋 개정판, which means “The Real, revised edition”, so this is connected both to the meaning of the mv and the whole concept of this comeback. On the baseball bat San is holding you can read 열정 최산 aka “passion Choi San” and we all know they mention the word passion so many times in their songs; you also find it on the scroll Yunho’s holding in the dance break scene, it literally says “passion, passion, passion”. The last thing i wanna mention is what Hongjoong writes down on the floor and his fan. The word who see him write is 겸손, which means “modesty, humility” and it’s mentioned in the lyrics as well. If you look closely at the banners in the room, some of them say “polite” and “noble”, this one is a good representation of the concept of 멋. About Hongjoong’s fan, the writing says 겸양지덕 which represents the “beautiful virtue of always being able to humble yourself and give way to others”, again another great translation of what 멋 is. I hope this was helpful and that I was clear 🥰🥰

Your mullet rant! 🤣🤣 So relatable. I lived through those times too.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Thank you!

Love your reactions! Literally me when I watched these 2 mvs😂😭

The real MV is my favorite omg I loved it so much the boys acting is on point i couldn't contain my self I enjoyed it so much I love them 💜💜💜

You guys are cracking me up so much. Super fun reaction. I adore Ateez and I adore you both too. ❤️

Did you ever realize that the song playing at the end of Turbulence was from the song Wave?

Love you'll reactions!!

Honestly, I've long stopped trying to understand any storyline going on for any of the groups I listen to because I just never know what is going on. The only thing I knew while watching The Real was that Mingi was a new student at the school, seonghwa/hongjoong were part of the same club, san and wooyoung were in the same club and jongho and yunho were in the same gang and Yeosang represented peace somehow because of the doves around him and everything lol

oh my GOD the real makes me so happy and this reaction doubled that at LEAST. i do not understand storyline at aaaaaaall but that was very fun to listen to thanks

The Real might be my favorite Ateez song. At least one of them. I'm a sucker for the mixing of traditional and modern. Seonghwa at 40:13 looks like a grassland prince.

The Brush from Kingdom was my first thought too XD on the Paper at the End was written " Passion" i think

This is amazing lmao. I can totally see this

I got lost on their storyline awhile ago, but i agree with you on thinking both mvs are a part of it somehow, especially the yeosang part. The hourglass breaking with him, them being all separated on Turbulence and Yeosang at first just watching everyone on The Real; it all means something and I need someone to make sense of all this and explain it to me, because I'm struggling here lol I absolutely loved both mvs. Turbulence is so sad and beautiful, but at the end it gives a sort of hopeful feeling to me. I'm not sure if just the way they composed the song, their voices or the lyrics (i feel like the lyrics change the tone of the song). They start saying "Can someone just embrace me?", then change it to "Embrace me in your warm arms" to finally "Still fly, embrace me more". It's a small change in the writing but completely different in meaning. At least to me. I might just be going crazy. Maybe that hopeful feeling comes from the wave melody at the end. Wave is such a happy song about being able to overcome all hardships together, so maybe that's it. And The Real is like the exact reason i love Ateez. The song is incredible as always, they sound and look amazing and it's such a chaotic, crazy and fun mv that I think represent them really well. The fact that they have "Passion" written several times throughout the mv says a lot about who they are as artists. And I couldn't be more proud. Thank you for the reaction, I loved it ❤

It seems like San is stuck on an Elevator and Wooyoung is free. It makes me think that San can't move on while Wooyoung already did. Maybe I'm the only one who sees that lol

These MV was so much fun! And watching you two react to them made my day :) Oh no I missed Anitra announcing Hongjoong as an Ult bias wrecker! When did you do that?

when i first saw the music video for the real , i said aloud "someone is going to lose her shit over yunho" and even though i have not finished the reaction yet, i feel like my prediction is correct

i love them so much .. the only thing i missed from the kingdom verion of the real were the jumping with stray kids and Btob .. can´t wait for you to see the mama perfomance ,, i cant handle the story line but i eas reminded of inception .. i hope you also will react the to christmas song white love

Anitra I had the same reaction when Hongjoong finally came on i freaked the hell out lol 😆 and Seonghwas eyebrow raise in the real?? That was just plain RUDE 🥵

💜💜❤️

I think you were thinking about yeosang's fever story, going into inception

You have issues, no you have issues 🤣😂🤣. I have so many issues I have a lifetime subscription 🥴🙃

it’s killing me the way you say Yunho’s name LMAO it’s pronounced yoon ho :) also loved the reaction!

Can you please do Ateez drop the dance?

Pls react to treasure!! ❤️❤️❤️

wooyoung couldn’t safe san in the real world girl :/..

i think some other people have commented on it but I think it's based on the 2001 movie Volcano High? Which is about a martial arts school, a transfer student with amazing powers arrives in the midst of a search for a mystical tome. Also in the beginning of Turbulence Yeosang is sitting in the classroom with the desks sort of in a circle around him like how the classroom looks after Mingi uses powers to move them in the Real

thats not the real yeosang

ridiculous mind, wooyoung is not fly, is swim, since dejawu last they all getting 💧 raining, only wooyoung has be safe, there white all member inside water ,they is not signals

Don’t like it then don’t watch my video.🤷‍♀️ There’s literally a pause warning on the screen… did you see that but still decide to come cuss and complain about it?? Cause that sounds like a you problem. It’s pretty easy to click off of something if it is not your vibe rather than spread unnecessary negative energy. ✌️

How about listening all the way without pausing first and then watch again and comment.... cuz the video is boring to watch with so much pausing...

Then you don’t have to watch… no worries! 🤷‍♀️ There is literally a pause warning on the screen for a reason. This is how I react and changing it to suit someone else’s preference would not be my natural, genuine way of reacting. There are plenty of other reactors out there who will sit through the whole thing without giving much commentary but for me, these artists put way too much work into these MVs to not pause, check out and comment on all the things I’m seeing and hearing. If you find my reaction “boring” because of this, then once again, you don’t have to watch. ✌️
