ATEEZ came back about a month ago and blew everyone's minds! The music video for the title song is, of course, related to their plot. So let's see if we can break this down, shall we? We start out in this desert-esque setting that's sort of reminiscent to both Answer and Pirate King at the same time. The (7--we miss you, Mingi ;-;) boys are walking towards a tree in a very dystopian landscape. There are overturned cars nearby and the tree is quite obviously dead; it looks scorched. There's also the rubble of a city in the fog behind them. After a couple of close-up shots we cut inside what appears to be an underground bunker. There are some interesting shots of San here at the beginning of the scene, which I'll come back to later. The boys confirmed in the online showcase held for Fever Part 2 that this place is an underground bunker, and that's it's quite important to the plot and we should keep an eye out for it later on since this is a prequel. (A prequel to what, I have no idea. I swear, their plotline is literally running backwards. ;-;) The radio is Mingi!!!!!!! T.T Love how they incorporated him in even though he wasn't there to film. Also, it's not the first time we've seen Mingi associated with a radio, either! Remember the concept photos for Action to Answer? There's a map on the floor, likely of the world outside. In the online showcase, the boys pretty much confirmed that this MV takes place in the Halateez's world. They mentioned that they're trying to escape/leave. I wonder if they can't escape because they need a full moon to travel through the dimensions? Hello, Fever Road! After some hype dancing, we emerge back outside the bunker with Yunho, who appears to be messing around with some four-wheelers or trucks of some kind. Reminds me of Treasure. Wooyoung, however, has found a different plaything--a lighter. Contrary to what I thought, we have actually seen him with fire before, in Illusion MV. Yeosang is perched on top of some scaffolding--perhaps the world is being rebuilt after the fire? Hongjoong's got a flashlight and he appears to be looking for something, likely for the power switch, which he finds shortly after. And then, Wooyoung starts a fire. Well, not exactly, but it sure looks like it. Shortly after that, the tree outside begins to burn. Huh? Seems like this video might not be told in order... But right after that is Seonghwa. With guns. Okay, time out. Where did the guns come from?! From the looks of the casings all over the floor, it's not the first time he's fired the gun. And from the hole in the bulls-eye of the target, we can guess he's a pretty decent shot. But since when!? And then there's...the man in white? Alright, we've got a lot to discuss. The theories for this post will be included in a later post as I want to finish my write-up on the album notes before I discuss. Consider this a part one, and look out for parts two and three soon!

yah so i wanted to say something . well about the guns in seonghwa's part . i just thought that it might have something to do with the kingdom performance . like if you remmember in seonghwa's part there was the kraken and also there were the back up dancers holding the guns with seonghwa tooo .. so i thought that both of these might have something to do with eacother
