10+ ATINY Reactions To ATEEZ’s Cryptic Comeback Teaser That Are Too Relatable
ATEEZ gave a special stage of their song “Utopia” on SBS‘s The Show to celebrate its 300th episode. But while ATINYs can always expect superior performances from the members (which they delivered!), they were not prepared for the sudden drop of the group’s comeback teaser…right into their phones.
Earlier this year, fans saw posters put up all over the world with a QR code that seemingly led to a comeback teaser. Since ATTEZ’s official social media did not make a formal comeback announcement, ATINYs couldn’t be entirely sure about the nature of the comeback. But on June 28, ATEEZ mysteriously airdropped the QR code into ATINYs’ phones while at The Show, and they soon realized it led to ATEEZ’s first teaser for their July comeback, PROPAGANDA.
atinys got airdropped this qr code while waiting in line for the show prerecording which led to this video & apparently the morse code translates to "wake up, wake up world"#ATEEZ #에이티즈 #ATEEZ_PROPAGANDA https://t.co/7ogcXSio6e pic.twitter.com/KQlYgEaaPV

The QR code was briefly posted on ATEEZ’s social media, but it was soon taken down, increasing the air of mystery surrounding PROPAGANDA.

2. No one is doing it like them
Yooo no one is doing it like ateez. Their lore is one thing but they're involving us irl with realistic posters in korea, europe, and america and airdropping a qr code to those in line for the prerecording??? https://t.co/BtLdPh0srG pic.twitter.com/tGiKma3Kl9

ATEEZ STAY ALWAYS PUSHING THE CREATIVE LIMITS. I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS LEVEL OF PREPARATION AND PROMOTIONS. I SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN. I NEVER WAS ONCE DISSAPOINTED SINCE BECOMING ATINY.

7. Did the other idols at The Show also get airdropped the QR code?
just imagining other idols preparing for their stage and randomly being airdropped an invitation to ateez's secret rebellion,,
— Skyva (@alwaysteez) June 28, 2022
Ateez airdropping the audio to idols on the show and inviting them to join the revolution like "Quit your job, join my emo band"

complain about kq not announcing the cb all you want but this marketing strategy of being so devoted to the lore of halateez being anarchists against the gov and spreading news and propaganda through qr codes and airdropped audio is so beyond original yes that's my ateez tyvm
— ebi 🖤 PROPAGANDA (@hwxlights) June 28, 2022
this comeback will mark as one of the smartest and most clever when it comes to marketing and promotions in kpop industry. are we really never gonna hear from ateez official accounts about this come back? 😭 stay tuned to find out i guess

11. Is this officially the return of Halateez?

ATEEZ ISN'T POSTING CUZ IT'S HALATEEZ COMEBACK HHHH
— Ⓐ (@park_seong_hwa) June 28, 2022
so if the halateez posts are getting deleted because the central goverment forbids any type of radicalism, does that mean that these ateez official accounts are handled by the central government? 🙃

12. No more need be said
ateez are the coolest group ever i said what i said
