ATEEZ’s Hongjoong Can’t Watch “Kingdom: Legendary War” Anymore, Despite Being Proud Of ATEEZ’s Accomplishments
In a recent live stream, ATEEZ‘s Hongjoong revealed that he no longer watches Kingdom: Legendary War, and it’s for a totally understandable reason.
ATEEZ competed in the survival show last year, bringing to life incredible performances that raised the bar for creativity. But despite the utterly demanding experience that Kingdom: Legendary War was on its own, ATEEZ also made a comeback at the same time, as well as participating in other shows such as Immortal Songs and even acting in a K-Drama.
Their schedule was well and truly packed, making it almost a miracle that the members managed to perform with such impressive energy in each stage they delivered.
But looking back on their time in Kingdom: Legendary War, Hongjoong has somewhat mixed feelings about it.
seonghwa said that for kingdom, he feels that he goes back to watch it when he’s bored, and hongjoong said that if he were to talk about it honestly, after kingdom ended, he watched the wonderland stage one or two times, but now he doesn’t anymore @ATEEZofficial pic.twitter.com/GgANzMdlvc

but to think about that time period, he said he really kind of like feels emotional, and seonghwa asked if the feelings were like feeling hurt (kind of like feeling your heart is aching), and hongjoong agreed,@ATEEZofficial

According to Hongjoong, while he didn’t feel like it was too hard at the time, looking back on his experience in the show he now realizes that it was. And watching the show only makes him feel more emotional about the struggle that the group went through.
he thinks that (if he watches it) he will feel that it was hard/tough, and that he would become lonesome (in a way where your heart feels lonely and sad) :(((
which is why he doesn’t watch them on kingdom now@ATEEZofficial— kasey ♡ (@kasey_hhh) April 26, 2022
And it’s totally understandable! ATEEZ were facing way too much pressure at the time of filming Kingdom: Legendary War, so it makes sense that Hongjoong would have mixed feelings about watching it. Seonghwa, on the other hand, finds watching Kingdom: Legendary War encouraging.
He finds that, while filming the show was definitely a challenge, seeing the stages ATEEZ delivered makes him feel proud of what he and his members were able to do.
seonghwa said that for him on the other hand, he recalls and thinks of the times where he had a hard time, thinking things like ‘wahhh, you’re saying that i was like that? you’re saying that i danced like that?? you’re saying that i danced like that with my body?’@ATEEZofficial

While each member has a different opinion on watching Kingdom: Legendary War, one thing is clear: filming the show was an uphill battle for ATEEZ, but that only makes their achievements in it all the more impressive!
