Film Description:

This entry is dedicated to the group ATEEZ. Before this concert i was feeling down on myself and constantly found myself in a rut, i was lazy and unmotivated, i was quite depressed. I attended their concert and didn't expect much from it than other than a fun time enjoying myself, but being there in that moment i felt free, all my worries were gone and i became insanely motivated, and inspired. ATEEZ's lyrics hit a soft spot in my heart and i was able to emotionally relate to their music. Their stage presence is intense and they enjoy themselves every-time despite being so tired, they are never ungrateful and are open about how hard they worked to get to their dreams. This specific performance was something i found myself replaying in my mind repeatedly after the concert had ended. Nearing the end of this concert ATEEZ had told the crowd "ATINY, you are pouring love on us<br />
and I want to know how much you love yourself.<br />
I want you to love yourself more than before. If you have a dream pursue it even if you cant stop, even if everyone laughs at it. dream big, never small. " ATEEZ's kind words and music helped me remember that there is always something to look forward to in life and that it is worth living.
