Ateez Golden Hour Series and "Bad"
The Golden Hour Series starting as the Red Moon rises, which begin with a foreshadowing about Ateez’s timeline and space as the Thunder’s leader’s letter asks is actually a separate series compared to Fever, Treasure and The World series, since they are all about saving the Strictland.
Since during the time Ateez was still in Strickland, with Thunders and Black Pirates getting ready to change the other half of the Strictland that choose to feel their emotions, getting one more step closer to be a utopia, Strickland's old leader, in some ways the old King, get out of the place he was hidden while watching them, and stepped one step closer to grab the Cromer in Ateez’s hand. That was his last move since Thunder’s leader reacted fast enough that she shot him to avoid him following Ateez to World A. Since trying to grab the Cromer, he made Ateez drop and break the Cromer, and it started to shine.
With Ateez’s last moments in Strickland, they return to the place where the story being before saving the world and searching for the Utopia part of their lives.
Yet, leaving the place they regarded as “Heros” created a great impact on Ateez that they slowly left their dreams behind and became adults. So, they locked their alter egos, the ones helped them stay awake with inner flames, their fever and their other dreams in a box and hide it. This situation led their hearts to get covered by ice.
But the meeting that they gathered in Yeosang’s mansion will change their ship's course.
The meeting they gathered to celebrate Hong Joong's new book release was the first meeting of all 8 members after 3 years, since the time they all stopped to follow their dreams and adapted to adult life.
Even though many members were really given up and kept living their lives in black and white, Wooyoung was seeing the light in their shared dreams that he had to ask if other members feel the same way, giving one more chance to their shared dreams which once led them to gather and be friends.
But as fire and ice, Man on Fire and Selfish Waltz, Wooyoung and Yeosang had an argument, about this topic that made Wooyoung fever got even get out of the control that he grab the Sopro in the midnight which was sitting in glass cabinet.
A small break for the ads: today’s item is Sopro!!!
This tiny but powerful artifact can solve most of your problems, especially when people don’t have the same opinion as you. This artifact which Ateez came across during Saving the Little Child’s Brother mission in Disposal Center has two legends about it in each dimension.
As the Left Eye once mentioned, Sopro is a sort of magical spirit that synchronizes the feelings of those who hold it with those who draw breath around them. And according to legend, one of the four priest guardians of Halazia gathered the breaths of all of Halazia to create it.
Do you think that’s all she is, no! Also, this spirit we call She, was once given to a king as a symbol of his love for his people in World A’s legend. As one of the scholars expresses this stone that able change people's hearts was stolen.
Perhaps this stone led to emotions seen as a disease in Strictland. But if you lose or break it after purchasing it, you’ve set yourself on an inescapable path.
This situation is not covered by the return policy. That was the warning.
To purchase, you can call 9024 Halazia's number. 📞 ☎
So, after using Sopro Wooyoung caused a tiny bit of chaos which turned into a war in the diaries. But of course, I will be talking about what really happened in the story, not just diaries since they are about way early phases of the story.
With Wooyoung using the Sopro and awakening the passion inside the members, their desire for the star and finding the Utopia dream also become their main focus for them. In songs like Lemon Drop, Birthday, Enough and Castle, we can see how much youth and emotions return. And also, how much they want to leave this place where they thought it was their Golden Hour behind and find the real Home. I’m not talking about the theory you might have heard before, Ateez never left Strickland, but just World A and this adult life was not a right choice for Ateez. The “Golden Hour” and “Now this house is ain’t a home” are indeed about this situation.
But this is the point where things are getting a bit chaotic for Ateez, since their emotions are reignited after a while.
Because there is a letter, an invitation, sent to Ateez.
Did you notice that since the beginning of the Golden Hour Series, the Invitation concept has always been the topic?
In the Golden Hour Part 1 album, there is an invitation for Atinys in it, or Part 2 has 2 invitations. One being in the showcase of the album and second is the Strange Mansion, in which Ateez’s destiny was decided by Atiny’s answers.
And the invitation which a mysterious sender is waiting for Ateez in the Opera House. But should not forget that Ateez’s emotions are just awakened with the Sopro’s influence. So, they are in kind of a weak state, a Fever similar to what they experienced in the Deja Vu and Thanxx.
The thing is the girl Ateez followed and thought the sender is the Star in the In Your Fantasy is just a mask as we see many of it in the music video. It’s quite hard to say who is who since there are many people hiding their identity. This situation was actually spoiled way before, in the Ice on My Teeth. There is someone behind hidden themselves, the real Lucifer, angle with mask, by using Sopro and imitating The Star to deceive Ateez. As we see on the stage, this code name Lucifer’s one eye is closed; this Ateez is the ones trying to lead Ateez, or should say force them to travel to the Universe E. You may ask why, why would they need Ateez but even in the Part 5 Album, we still don’t have a clear answer to it. As the promotion says, Golden Hour Never Ends.
Since we are getting closer to our current album timeline, let me explain the rest with more visual details and by using Lyrics. But it’s little bit of bad news for Ash lovers because I already explained how it’s connected to Adrenaline and Nasa in my previous video.
In the new Universe Ateez introduces and entered with Golden Hour Part 4, there were actually quite important clues about the story in the promotional teasers.
First of all, the crossword puzzle that was also given with the physical album, there we learn the new place’s name, E. In this place, we have indeed 3 Ateez as the first 2 teasers shows but it’s not actually directly about it. The rest of the series, which generally takes focus on Love, now has a bigger focus, the two sides in the Ateezs, their original self and alter egos.

The rest of the series, which generally takes focus on Love, now has a bigger focus, the two sides in the Ateezs, their original self and alter egos.
These 3 Ateezs are; Ateez of World A who just teleported into this E universe with the Black Hole- Wormhole, and two Ateezs originally from here, Normal Ateez and Black Fedoras of that universe. But since that’s not just a parallel universe but the Omega universe, there are more differences compared to the difference between dimensions.
But in the end, the Alter egos, and fever concept is the state or should put that as main focus of each Ateezs are somewhat connected to their emotions and fever. Our Ateez who gained their alter egos and become Kings again with the Sopro’s influence, The Normal Ateez of E experience the first time that Ateez become the kings since this universe’s timeline is way before then our universe, and Black Fedoras with a corrupted heart.
Their hearts are the key point. And Sopro if you remember, is connected to the King’s heart that she radiates the same emotion, mood to the people around them. Also, should add that Halazia that Sopro was created with the breath of are the Black Fedoras, their real identity.
Till this point, this was what we already know since it was all shown in the Adrenaline and Trailers.
But the thing is, in the Adrenaline we saw that Black Fedoras were trying something new; they were turning Sopro into Gas?
In our alpha universe’s Strictland there was a gas color yellow gas that filled the whole Strictland and caused people to see hallucinations. It was what Z and Guardians chose as a way to control people and secure peace.
But in this new Universe’s Strictland which Black Fedoras are in the control, yeah that’s the big difference I mentioned, they must be using Sopro to secure peace. Leading people live as they desired in illusions with Sopro.
But in this new Universe’s Strictland which Black Fedoras are in the control, yeah that’s the big difference I mentioned, they must be using Sopro to secure peace. Leading people live as they desired in illusions with Sopro.
I won’t be mentioning this universes Sopro or Ateez’s Sopro since it’s still not clear but there must be 2 Sopro’s.
So, what’s going on in the Bad?
As the music videos intro show, Sopro is getting even out of Black Fedora’s control that they try to fool Sopro to take her control.
This Ateez in white is the same one in the Adrenaline and In Your Fantasy. Hongjoong’s eye patch is really a good guiding point to differ from the other Ateezs.
There is also a good clue that’s been given about the Ateez of the Universe E. The Ateez in the Character Teaser for both Part 4 and 5 are the Ateez of that new universe that just become the Kings. You can see the Crown and the Golden Eggs as a sign of their King statues.
So, if we connect the dot, Adrenaline was happening in the reality. Ateez lands on this new Universe’s Earth, Strictland. On the other hand, we see the Ateez in the posters have kind of an argument in which Ateez and the Yunho are the two sides of it, Yunho that seems to be running away from something. And this something seems that the Gas experiment about the Sopro.
This gas created by Sopro is the one causing the “Bad”, since this whole music video is an illusion. Would you be able to see a professional Barber Cat or these two people’s hair in reality, is that even human?
So as the argument scene in the Adrenaline, Ateez in the poster and the other people of Strickland absorbed into an illusion world, slumber. There are some people, as we see in the court that already experienced Sopro’s illusion who also agree with our Ateez that Sopro is “Bad”.
But in the end, as we see in the music video, Black Fedoras must be admired here, since we can see Black Fedora Ateez’s Yeosang even in the barber shop. This also means that the Sopro that’s actually born from their breath, people don’t think Sopro is bad as the other people claim.
On the other side there must be Z and his Androids in this world as well since we heard the voice of the android in the first teaser, “Question Yourself.”
Also, people of Strickland being all being asleep, explaining why it’s all dark in the Epilogue.
Since I mentioned the epilogue, it’s actually really heart breaking.
Like mentioned before, at the beginning of this video, Ateez started to search for their Star which they expected to find in the Utopia. Even Ateez woke up from Sopro’s influence in this world, they stared to think this place is the Utopia and followed Sopro to Oracle’s place. In this scenario Oracle is again the Fedoras... You can see that this music video that comes right after Adrenaline has some connections and similarities with Bouncy.
That’s all because Adrenaline was happening at the same time as Guerrilla. So, we have Bouncy and there will be Crazy Form if they keep this order, where Ateez could escape, back to their own world. It can mean a king’s downfall as well, since the Red Moon symbolizes this...
One last note, I said that we can’t really say there are “Two” Sopro’s cause if Black Fedoras are in the control and they don’t really need to hide their identity, did really Sopro created in this Universe, we don’t know. Just as the teaser implies, there is still a Sopro there, but it must be still in Halazia, their heart.
We don’t know if Alpha Universe’s Sopro has a connection to them or not, but only that would be able give a clear answer to that. We will see the answer in the next diary since the story is again getting connected.
