I love that this wasn't just another MV reaction, just shows how much Ateez impacts people. But what i find the most mind blowing is that this concept wasn't just for a trend. This whole thing was planed from the begging and they were always hinting at it, giving us piece by piece and we never saw it coming (ok, we kinda did but not to this extent). They really are breaking a wall in every way possible and who knows where will they take us in the future.

This piece is actually still part of their storyline that ATEEZ has since their debut. It just so happens that The World albums will take place in a different universe than the Treasure and Fever series.

After the production scale and quality of The Real, I thought ATEEZ had outdone themselves and nothing could top the prior comeback... But THIS! This completely blew my mind. The teasers, the performance preview, the mv and the full album itself... Damn. The amount of planning and foresight they channel into their work is INSANE. Sector1 was from Answer era, and they actually teased this comeback literally a year ago on one of their performances in a freaking competition!!! When other groups were coming up with amazing performances to win, they were making sure that they're able to promote their next year comeback with their performance. Naurr it doesn't get crazier than that. Nothing tops this in the kpop industry, both past and present. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

thank you for mentioning the sound quality! at first i didn’t like guerrilla because the audio in the mv seemed strange, same with the teasers, but otherwise it’s such an excellent comeback and sounds way better on the cd

This comeback was one of the best comebacks of this year I have to say. The way they put together the storyline like- still shocked till this day. No wonder they won 6 times THIS IS A MASTERPIECE ❤

This whole album is incredible! Guerilla is one of my favorite Ateez title tracks 🫰🏻💜

just Jordan randomly changing the thumbnail again and again shows his fascination 😂

They were leaving hidden scan codes worldwide months before the comeback. You had to scan it & it would send you to a link that was a teaser teailer for this album.

This is why I love watching Mv reactions bc you guys bring so many things (especially from editor side) that I couldn’t probably notice myself thank youuuu for reacting (:

The fact that there’s not a lot of sounds is because Ateez said that this is the beginning of their revolution so right now they just kinda got the people out from under the government’s control. Love the reaction☺️ and the compliments 🫶

this was around my 8th comeback with ateez and i can safely say this blew my mind lol. simply the way it was announced was amazing, the secrecy of the first few teasers and the morse code in the propaganda preview was super great. them breaking new achievements is so deserved. i loved this mv a lot, in general the entire album, and i honestly can't wait for the next albums for the world movement series

I think that at 7:26 when the first chorus is played and the dancing shot is slowly zoomed out on, it’s playing more into the theme of taking over and liberating more and more people from their painless, robotic lives using the rising orchestral notes and the art deco style background that looks like how many dystopian cities of grandeur were/are portrayed (especially on book covers) to make viewers feel a mounting sense of “something big is coming” and rising up and all that Instead of being disappointed that it’s a bit anticlimactic I think it’s not supposed to be climactic, rather, it’s expository as the action is just starting to build and this is signaling that something larger is going to happen later In a few words, it’s more of a quiet uprising at this point than a full-on war/riot

Slay I'm getting tickets to their concert in November

The fact that ATEEZ is not in the title of this video but i knew it was gonna be ATEEZ GUERRILLA ❤️ they went *HARD* hard on this comeback and we're loving it!!!

Wow. The edit you did on the chorus was *so delicious*!!! Love all the explanations and loved that the concept and story was well represented in this video. Thank you! 💓

I didn't notice any of the stuff you talked about - LOL. Probably because I don't do this for a living. But it was interesting to see a pro's perspective. I especially liked when you showed how you would have edited the first dance break - it did flow a lot better! As a novice, I just liked the aesthetics of the video and the song is a BOP! By the way - your dance break at the end was EPIC! LOL!

KQ, PLEASE HIRE JORDAN AS YOUR EDITOR. PLEASE, I BEG. that jordan-edit chorus part is so damn great!

8:25 damn I love how you edited that it totally matched to the beat when seonghwa dropped his hands and the next cut to san also dropping his hands to the beat that was awesome you're right they should've edited it this way :0

absolutely love this in-depth review on ur perspective as a video editor 🫶 thank you so much !!

The amazing thing about this is that ATEEZ have been building their storyline since debut, although The World EP series just started but it is a new chapter in their storyline which is why it’s so awesome to see especially for fans who have kept up with the releases from the beginning, they’re so smart, unique and calculated about their lore and storyline that’s why experiencing the mvs is a total shock to us

Thanks for doing another ATEEZ reaction! We were hoping you’d react to this one. It was helpful that you included the trailers in your explanation so that those unfamiliar with ATEEZ would understand the storyline better. Love your reactions and comments! Be sure to listen to the whole album, they’ve reached a whole new level.

thank u so much for your reaction to Guerrilla. I love the song soo much

You dance therapy killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! Absolutely LOVED this!!!!!

Their story and discographies is in another level

Thank you for taking the time to explain a little of the lore at the beginning. I'm just now learning Ateez and that was helpful. Thank you!

10:58 same Jordan same that scene of mingi upside down literally left me breathless! It was smooth af with his Rap! This is an inside joke but ATINY'S bias is actually our KQ editor nim >.

I have been waiting for your reaction since release and you didn't disappoint at all! Honestly, I loved how you were doing all of your reactions before, but with this one it feels like you really did dig deep into what's actually going on in ATEEZ' lore and used that well to explain everything editor-wise what's happing in their MV. I just feel like you really payed huge respect to their overall work although you "just" reacted from an editors point of view. Honestly, I think this was your best video so far. Keep up the good work!!!

Omg the re-edited chorus is so good!

Yaaaassss! Finally ... been waiting on this. Your breakdowns are top tier esp for someone like me who knows nothing about editing.

oh my god your commentary about the shots in the first chorus totally make sense! the scene with them making out with the mics definitely hypes up the chorus more than a still shot of the choreo

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACTING TO GUERRILLA - it was awesomeeee👍🏻😻

Yessss ateez always exceed our expectations

This was such a great look into ATEEZ’s intense and at times confusing lore, although you delved into one segment of it (guerrilla ATEEZ is the group from another dimension lol), it was v well explained. I’ve also watched this MV 2304982 times and you’ve once again picked up things I missed! I haven’t done any video editing since my uni days but your videos continue to inspire me to get back into it. Thank you for another great video 💛

It must have been so hard to film this their acting is on point! I might have to stan 😊

There's still another reactor that I can't wait to see his video about "Guerrilla" and I will be satisfied with this comeback. Thanks for this amazing and illuminating video reaction!! I waited a long time. I thought that you were occupied with other engagements but the waiting was worth it.

Love this sm thank you!!😍 Some info is that their main inspiration is 1984 and the novels of Philp K. Dick that MANY famous iconic movies were birthed after them check them out! :) And they do also have a fantasy concept with many old movie and books inspirations! Like Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Lord Of The Rings, etc! That cool city set was directly inspired by the cover of Metropolis restored version. And the shot with the flags I'm sure inspired by a shot from the MV of Iron by Woodkid! Btw the boys did a reaction the day of their showcase and said the editor was still finishing the MV the same day!!😳

I'm both an ATEEZ fan and a video editor by profession too, you don't know how much your commentary makes me happy ahhhhh thank you!!

Wow learned so much about this mv I didn’t even notice. This is the kind of mv reaction I like!

They covered only a tiny part in the trailer, the story is way bigger and it's written in their albums, thank you forr looking into the trailers thought! They are actually fighthing forhuman emotions and art, Strict land is the place that they've time traveled to, the men with black fedoras are called the Black pirates and the white mask men from their past MVs are called Androids, the yellow smoke makes you hallucinate, also the old man's name is Left eye.

oh yesssss I've been waiting your reaction to Guerilla and now it's hereeee!! I didn't expect at the begin you'll breakdown a little bit about their storyline concept, that's really niceee intro tho!! and also yesssss, my prediction about some scenes that will really caught you become true kkkkkkkkkk! As always I enjoy your video, thank you so much Jordan!

i felt my brain cells increase watching this reaction because of all the details you pointed out that i don't think i would've even KNOWN to appreciate despite the MANY times i've watched this mv (although also probably because i end up headbanging to the song instead of watching the screen lol), so thank you so much for this video!! and thank you so much for also taking the time to dive deep into the trailers too!! the message of this track and their storyline is so, so meaningful to me and it always makes me happy seeing people connect with it, and i loved hearing that it resonated with you as an editor using this platform as well! :)

Love you analysis...BTW the storyline is a direct continuation from Hala Hala, their first ever comeback...that and other small cameos were all we knew about the Universe Z counterparts to Ateez aka Halateez...this new album series will explain their story

Watching your reaction to the MV brought me back to the emotions and excitement of seeing it for the first time again! Thank you for bringing such a comprehensive and detailed explanation, your expertise was soooo interesting and amazing to hear for the brain! Also, I believe the white scene with the flag is more inspired from « La Liberté Guidant le Peuple » from French artist E. Delacroix, but it's very funny to see what it evokes from a US point of view! I'm glad to see a reaction video that is longer and bring a light to the MV : ) Thank you!

@LadyTiferet

The flag scene seems to be a composite of several sources of inspiration but seeing how the storyboards had a triangular composition there I agree that one of the main ones was most probably La Liberte. One of the more unexpected references I've found though was the MV for Woodkid's Iron - the medieval-style flags, the smoke projectiles, the general composition and movement (and also Run Boy Run, with a modernist/futurist city as a symbol of an oppressive system). There's even a flying ship cameo there!

omg! im so happy u reacted to this, u were literally the first reactor i thought of when watching this mv

Jordan, thank you SO much for the insight on this one. I wholeheartedly agree that this video changed the game. The entire album seems to show the arc from the controlled world through the "war" for mental independence, and then audibly sounds like that blue sky at the end of a really great movie. You'll love it as a listen through. As others have mentioned, this is all part of a muuuch larger storyline for the group, and many of the lyrics and concepts have carried through the songs and the videos. The written interiors they include in their CD boxes have diary entries talking about their fight within this new environment -- to understand it, to despise it, to change it -- and how they get help along the way. It gives a name to that old man and gives him a backstory along with the previous Diary film (around Inception's release) that shows all the members' stories in the world before they end up in -- yes, it's actually called that -- Strictland. You'll see the Strictland word on the right window glass in Fireworks, for instance, before it zooms out of the underground car to Yunho atop the Humvee. And this album ties us back to the start/end soundscape of Answer, 2+ years ago that now has its own song fully realized on the album. That there's a plan, a story, and that we're getting little glimpses is just perfection. Thank you so much for your review, and yes, I agree, your edit is much more dynamic for the chorus!

If you watch their Ikon cover on kingdom you'll notice they've been planning this since, the blimp, the flyers/paper, and the message in the beginning of the performance. When I noticed that I lost my shit lmao.

Well open your eyes has been around since treasure era (at the end of Illusion when they all fall asleep a voice says “Open your eyes!”) so this was always a key phrase for their story line.

Sunny Visual works on most of their MVs and they do a SPLENDID job. their "WHY" mv feels like a movie. also, The Avengers CGI team (yup, the Marvel Avengers) worked on "Beautiful Beauitful", and the director of La La Land directed "Complete"!! their MV "Ugly Dance" was filmed 99% on a robotic arm too, which is said to be one of the first.

the dance therapy at the end was the cherry on top, was the jongho's high notes, was the serve that everyone needed

Thank you for your reaction. It’s always interesting to hear your opinion. This concept story has been part of their lore since the beginning. The Guerrilla’s are actually Halateez (the guys who show up in various videos in the black fedoras). There is more about their world in Deja Vu (if you watch Equilibrium you recognize some shots they stole) and Rhythm Ta stage in Kingdom. The world of Halateez (who are Ateez in a different dimension who meet up in songs like Answer and Say My Name) is very inspired by the movie Equilibrium. Gonna be honest-I think the time lapse you didn’t like at the beginning was intentional-they set up the speakers, but then they had to finish hacking into the system to start their song. Or it may have been a mistake.

I love your analysis! It really is interesting to learn new things about editing. Even see some things I never would have pointed out myself.

14:13 Wow. I didn't even take notice of most of the stuffs and details pointed here when I was heavily streaming the mv. Now I'm more impressed with them and I appreciate the mv more. It deserves so much recognition. This is amazing
