#i biased mingi in the begining and then it switched around a lot and has landed on san

[xxsanshinexx]

okay I’m HERE and I have OPINIONs on wave and illusion!!! I really enjoy how both have a lighter summery feel while still maintaining the complex instrumental style I associate with ateez and the percussion in wave is?? so good!! the way illusion's verse is all light and playful and the chorus maintains that but with a deeper instrumental is really nice and I’m excited to hear the whole song!!! also the deep rapper boy (mingi???) doing the chorus in wave is really cute help— intellectual anon

WE STAN AN INTELLECTUAL I COULDN’T HAVE SAID IT BETTER

the instrumental style with percussion (which is actually really prominent in both) hits so good with both of these songs. They both have such good flow, lyric wise as well as instrumentally, and they have such a summer feel??? like all of those things together is so hard to do but it works so well for the songs???? I do think Wave is a more upbeat sounding song while Illusion is a little more hiphopish if that makes sense?? Like wave feels like the song you’d play at like an outside summer party on the beach and illusion is that thing you play at a hype house party ya know? But overall they have the carefree upbeat vibe

 Also yes his name is Mingi and he KILLS me, his deep voice fits extremely well for both of these songs and im pretty sure he has the start of both chorus for the songs ?? (im rewatching and listening while i type this lol) he also sounds like bad bunny in wave which makes me laugh

And you’ll need help with Mingi cause hes actually??? so stupidly cute and he fights for the spot of my bias against San (silver haired boy) and I can’t lie Yeosang (Brown haired and small ) is practically my bias too at this point they both just make me feel so soft

In conclusion though cause I just went off: I prefer Illusion cause i just like the overall beat and the general vibe but if we get Wave im so here for it too. Hearing Mingi say “Hakuna Matata?” all i need in life. What about you anon? Do you have a preference yet lol?
