🐿 The reason I was so busy at Coachella wasn’t just because I was watching performances. Inside Coachella, I also went around meeting and talking with a lot of other artists. There were some I personally really like, and some that our members have liked for a long time too.
So when I met them, I talked about how it would be fun to try this or that together later, like “Our member really likes this kind of thing, so it would be cool if the two of you did something together.” That’s why I walked around quite a bit.
As for collaborations, personally I’m the type who thinks it should happen naturally. Rather than forcing a meeting, it’s better when our thoughts and directions match.
I really enjoy doing ATEEZ activities with the members, so if the direction doesn’t feel right for a collab, it’s honestly hard for me. I think the other members feel the same way. Even if it’s an artist I admire and really like, if our visions don’t align after talking, it’s not easy to work together.
That’s why I had a lot of those kinds of conversations. Also, since our group schedule is already so packed for the whole year, I believe that any time we expand our individual boundaries, it has to be meaningful for both them and me.
So while I was there, I thought it would be better to meet people in person, talk directly, and connect, rather than just doing quick “tick-tick” stuff through the managers. That’s why I ended up walking around a lot just to talk to people.
