A Guide To ATEEZ’s Iconic “Demon Line”: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, San, & Honorable Mentions
If you’re familiar at all with ATEEZ, you might have heard of their iconic “Demon Line”, which “officially” consists of Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and San. These three members are sweethearts by nature, but when they get on stage, they can come across as intimidating and even scary, which some ATINYs have described as though they’re being possessed by stage demons!
There are other members of the group, though, that some fans have suggested should join the “Demon Line” due to their intensity on stage. Here’s a look at why the current 3 members are part of this group, and why other members might be due for an induction into it!
1. Hongjoong
There are whole compilations made to prove Hongjoong’s position in this line.

Like the rest of the demon line, though, Hongjoong has incredible duality!

It doesn’t even have to be a dark concept for the inner demon in him to come out.
