15 Unforgettable Moments From ATEEZ’s Legendary “The Awakening Of Summer” Performance On “Kingdom”
On the most recent episode of Mnet’s Kingdom, each of the six participating groups was given a song by another artist on the show to create their own unique performance for. ATEEZ chose to recreate iKON‘s “Rhythm Ta”, and as can be expected by this incredible 8-member group, they turned what was already a great song into an absolute masterpiece. Here are 15 moments from the performance that are unforgettable!
1. Hongjoong’s rapping over the mix he created from “Rhythm Ta” and the third movement from Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons: Summer” is pure art.

5. San’s rope choreography on the floor was so unique and fun to watch!
also still thinking about how san practiced and executed the floor/rope dance for rhythm ta (also, how cool is it that he did it to open the safe for hongjoong’s grand appearance) i am in awe of his dedication and skills. this man has no limit pic.twitter.com/ZUtHVqM36H

11. Yeosang’s powerful behavior here casually reminded us that he’s strong enough to squat Yunho.

12. Even though San claimed how hard it was, he pulled this part off perfectly!
san said singing live while b-boying was the hardest thing~
it’s time to talk about san’s live vocals!!! san always does all these acrobatics on stage yet still sings live. he deserves all the praise!!

15. San truly is on another level when it comes to performance abilities and stage presence.
this part of san performing for the final dance break for rhythm ta until the ending. everything was perfection on how he immersed he was in his performance. truly a stage master 🥺
