ATINYs celebrate ATEEZ’s BB 200 debut on Twitter

KQ Entertainment’s boy band had previously stated plenty of times how they’d love to get on a Billboard chart. With their most recent release, ATINYs made sure to give them all their love.

The group not only debuted on #42 with ‘ZERO: FEVER Part 3’ but also landed on ‘Deja Vu’ on No. 4 of World Digital Song Sales, No. 30 on ARTIST 100 chart, and re-entered by peaking No. 1 on EMERGING ARTISTS chart.

Billboard Charts’ official Twitter account posted the news on September 20, 11:30 PM KST, and ATINYs wondered if the eight men were sleeping. They trended #WAKEUPATEEZ, hoping to get the group’s attention. Fans are also requesting the company release videos of the members finding out they debuted on Billboard.

Check out some reactions by ATINYs below:

For a group from a small company to dominate international music charts and even domestic, ATEEZ has come a long way. A major part of it is also because of their special bond with their fans, ATINYs, who participate in deciding the title track of their albums.

They are probably the first K-pop group to release two of their potential title tracks’ teasers beforehand and let fans vote which song they’d like to be the main song. In a K-pop album, title tracks play a huge role as the groups compete with each other, bring in trophies, and perform multiple times at award shows.

In a Vogue interview, Wooyoung talked about the meaning of this process.

ATEEZ stunned the world with their extraordinary performances on Mnet’s Kingdom. Coming a close second overall in the show, it showcased the power-packed choreographies, one of their fortes, along with good rap and vocal performances.
