The Epic ATEEZ Fantheory Book

Intro

The planning going into the ATEEZ storyline is clearly quite extensive, so I've attempted to collect all of my personal observations and theories. While I've heard a few pieces of theory from other people, most of this is my own conclusions that I've applied to the symbolism and consistent things I've noticed.

I go through each location, item, reoccurring device, music video, lyric, member, promotional photo (at least those shared on KQ's pages), teasers, and whatever else I can find. It's a slow process, but it's fascinating and exciting.

I will also do specific pages for promotional work, lyrics, those Fever Road intro/outro things, b-sides, settings, and more. My document of notes is quite extensive. 

Notes from the author:

Alright, so here I am, ready to figure some pieces out to celebrate the upcoming comeback!! (Fever: Part 2, for those who are wondering. Promos have me dying) 

I will start with going through the MVs and taking notes/turning it into a page on that MV. However, I can't tell which pieces are most important, and if it turns out there's a motif/reoccurring prop/something I will go back through MVs I have already done and make notes on that aspect. 

I'm also not going to publish the MV analyses in order because I'm too lazy to do all of them before officially starting this book. They will be in order once I've put them up, but not right now. 

I've heard a couple pieces of theory, but I really haven't read up on what people think because I want to come to the storyline with a fresh perspective. I will mention when an idea I'm working with came from someone else (unfortunately it's been long enough that I wouldn't be able to figure out who to credit), as well as give my thoughts on it. 

Really, you should think of this as a collection of information/my observations that allow you to build a theory of your own. Disregard my conclusions as much as you want, I think it's helpful to have an in-depth look at the MVs without having to spend that much time on your own. 

Terms I created:

The Dark Egos is my name for Hala Hala ATEEZ, contrasted with what I call Normal ATEEZ

I don't think there are any other ones at the moment?

Shameless self-promo:

I wrote a "horror" oneshot book on Dark ATEEZ, check it out if you're interested! It's on my profile and is titled Halloween ATEEZ. 

Comment your thoughts as you read!
