To myself one year from now
⭐️: I’m really curious! I turn thirty next year. The first digit of my age is changing, it feels so different. When I look back on my twenties, it feels like I was twenty just yesterday. That’s how quickly time seems to have passed.
On the other hand, it honestly scares me too, because it’s an age when you have so many responsibilities. I imagined being in my thirties would mean having a home and a family of my own. But here I am with the members, wondering: “what should we eat for dinner tonight”, and talking about things like “a new game character came out”.
It honestly scares a little. Just saying “in my thirties” sounds so grown-up. But I promised I’d become a good adult, I’ll do even better and I’m looking forward to having even more fun.
So I hope you embrace life with joy. I want to tell you: “it’s okay if you don’t grow up to be the adult you imagined”. You’ll do well. Fighting!

[t/n: captain😭 get well soon please❤️🩹🫳🏻]
🐿️ hiii
🐿️ i just came out after seeing a doctor at the hospital, so i'm leaving a message on fromm..! because there are a lot of worried messages on fromm!
🐿️ i'm sorry because i think i looked like i had no/less energy during the live and things like that, even though it was such a good day
🐿️ i was also really, really excited and happy, but i think i wasn't able to express it well
🐿️ starting from the airport in the US, i started feeling pretty severely flu-like symptoms, and my fever got really high yesterday and today, but i thought i managed pretty well despite that, so i guess it showed..ㅎㅎㅎ
🐿️ but in my heart, i really felt like dancing and running around just like the kids [members]
🐿️ because i know what the 8th anniversary means to us
🐿️ how proud i am to have become a member of ateez in my life and to be able to remain ateez’s captain!
🐿️ i'm sorry for constantly giving you things to worry about, and i've been making a lot of different efforts to take good care of my health, but i guess my immune system has weakened a bit..!
🐿️ i got an injection and an IV drip too, so i'll get better!
🐿️ i also got tested for the flu, but they said it wasn’t the flu!
🐿️ so i think you don’t need to worry too much!
🐿️ my posture was also like that because i had a fever and was a little cold..ㅎㅎ
🐿️ i thought it would be better to let you know than to not say anything..!!
🐿️ above all, i really wanted to tell tinys thank you for protecting ateez so well and making it possible for us to celebrate our 8th anniversary
🐿️ thank you for being together with us today too
🐿️ i'll get going while resting a little now!
🐿️ today too thank you and love you🫶

Could "Golden Hour" be one of the 7 deadly sins?
Work: Greed
Ice On My Teeth: Pride
Lemon drop: Sloth
In your fantasy: Lust
Adrenaline: Wrath
Bad: Envy
Drip: Gluttony
1. Work: Greed
Greed, meaning the insatiable urge to accumulate material wealth. The system programs people solely to work, consume, and hoard more riches. The grotesque struggle in the music video chasing after gold and money vividly portrays how materialism and greed devour the human soul.
2. Ice On My Teeth: Pride
Pride, in its purest form. The characters position themselves as invulnerable elites, standing far above the system and everyone else. Coupled with mob-like iconography, they continuously assert that they are the most powerful figures around.
3. Lemon drop: Sloth
Sloth is not merely physical laziness; it reflects its original theological meaning, Acedia a state of "spiritual apathy, numbness, and the loss of the will to act." It echoes the state of torpor imposed on people through Strictland's smoke, as well as Sopro paralyzing all other feelings once it takes over a host.
4. In your fantasy: Lust
Lust here reaches beyond carnal desire; it is an unchecked mental obsession and an addiction to illusions. It depicts a person escaping the pain of reality, surrendering entirely to an artificial, seductive fantasy, and sacrificing their free will for this infatuation. In the music video for In your fantasy, we witness the recurring motif of "being trapped in a fake dream world," carried over since the Illusion era.
5. Adrenaline: Wrath
Wrath, an uncontrollable and destructive rage. Surging, raw adrenaline ceases to be a simple defense mechanism and turns into a craving for vengeance that seeks to burn and obliterate everything in its path.
6. Bad: Envy
Envy is the desire to covet and tear down the order, comfort, or peace that others possess. Indeed, in the video, we see the members surrounding Sopro envying one another, serving both as the influence of Sopro who manipulates emotions and as the embodiment of Envy itself.
7. Drip: Gluttony
Gluttony is not merely overeating; it is an unrestrained frenzy of consumerism, excess, and sheer indulgence. It embodies the insatiable greed at the heart of this track an urge to swallow and consume everything down to the very last drop, recklessly squandering the wealth, luxury, and hedonism amassed through Work without any boundaries. But of course, since the music video isn't out yet, I'm not entirely sure about the Drip part...
