THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL

ATEEZ THEORY

OKAY SO I have some thoughts on the ATEEZ trailer that just released:

I firmly believe that, while we see all 8 members in this video, some of them are obviously not what they seem...

FIRST it's important to note that the boys are in the Z universe here. So this is the weird new world dystopia that A universe ATEEZ have been sucked into while time travelling. But they've been hopping about in time so much that there's sort of a jumbled mix of who is who in A universe and who is who in Z universe.

SO here is MY THEORY.

In this video, we are seeing SOME members of A universe ATEEZ in Z universe searching for someone (Hongjoong?). Some of them (Yeosang) seem to have infiltrated Z universe ATEEZ (AKA HALATEEZ AKA EVIL??) so they know someone is after one of these white cloaked figures (Hongjoong?).

Unfortunately they are too late to save him. Could this hooded figure who was trying to blend in with the brainwashed cultists be Hongjoong? Is that what Wooyoung and Yunho discover here?

Yeosang, Yunho, Wooyoung, Jongho and Mingi all seem to be A universe ATEEZ. They see this cloaked person (Hongjoong?) has been taken and they all express concern about the kidnapping.

However, who doesn't seem too concerned about this kidnapping as they witness it happening right in front of them? These two:

With their odd robotic stiffness and their dead-eyed stares...could Seonghwa and San be HALATEEZ (evil?). Or is something else going on? Both A and Z universe ATEEZ have seemed to be dead set on breaking the control the Z universe government has on people. Z universe Halateez seem to be acting a bit strange though...

If this is Halajoong...why does it seem he's leading that girl back into the line with the other brainwashed citizens? He picked her out because she wasn't following along. A world ATEEZ would think this is good! She's free! But Halajoong...well, his aims seem sinister.

My final curiosity here is...why do Halateez seem to be evil? Could the government have gotten to them? Brainwashed them?

Or is this our first view of a third version of ATEEZ that we just haven't seen (or noticed) up until now?

Guess we'll have to wait and see.
