— HONGJOONG'S SPECIAL LECTURE ON THE ATEEZ's LORE
Hongjoong told Atinys on bubble about the possibility of doing a special lecture on the lore. After getting the staff approval he uploaded an Instagram story with a box to drop questions. Here's the videos with the questions selected: part 1 , part 2 , part 3 .
Q&A:
Q1. Do the Dimension-A ATEEZ and Dimension-Z ATEEZ play similar roles in their respective dimensions?
A. This is a sharp question but no, they don't play a similar role.
Q2. Is SPIN OFF a separate story that does not connect with the existing lore?
A. It's part of the same worldview as the one we have been working on so far, but it's better to see it as a separate story from a different point of view.
Q3. How far has the ATEEZ storyline progressed?
A. 50% until the World Series. Once we reach the end of it, the story that has been continued so far is going to be over. However, the next story also proceeds with the same worldview.
This question especially is difficult to translate precisely so i'm going to leave other's translations as well for you to read:
A3. It's a first release information, when The World series of this time ends (in the future), we can say that it's 50%, almost towards the end/completion. So you can see it as the first chapter that's been going on until now ends. But, as we go over to the second chapter, the worldview/lore does not stop or change so I think it'd be good if you think of that the flow continues it. (cr: @/S2lomatzve on twitter)
HJ: Once this ‘The World’ series finishes, I can say that almost 50% is being finished. You can see it as the chapter of the first story that has been connected/continuing up until now as being finished. However, when you go over to the chapter of the second story, the lore isn’t being cut or changed, so I think it would be good to think of it as that flow being continued/connected. (cr: @/kasey_hhh on twitter)
So, I'd say it means that:
Once The World series ends, we're going to be at 50% of the storyline. We're going to close its "first chapter" and what comes next is going to continue the storyline as the "second chapter".
Q4. The Cromer has the ability to move dimensions according to the change of the moon, but is it affected by solar/lunar eclipses, super moons, etc.?
A. Shhh... unfortunately I can't answer this question, I'm sorry
Q5. Does the Cromer decide which dimension to move when it is turned?
A. The Cromer is an ancient artifact. That means there is a method that has been used since ancient times. Let me ask you a question: is the ancient artifact only a Cromer?
Q6. What does “desert” mean in the ATEEZ lore?
A. There are no roads, directions, or signs in the desert, right? This means that the desert is to walk in the direction we want to go. You can think of the desert as a background reflecting ATEEZ's situation.
Q7. What is the Android Guardian?
A. It is an extra-legal organization that executes the decisions of the dimension-Z central government.
Q8. Is there a reason why items such as lightning, feathers, and dreams are continuously used?
A. Contact through dreams is one of Cromer's functions, that's why it's been mentioned several times. Lightning! I think by lightning you mean thunder. If we're talking about thunder, you'll get to know more about it by looking at the storybook of The World Episode 2, which will be released next year. For the feathers, you'll be able to tell by looking at the upcoming "Spin Off" single album.
Q9. Is Android Guardian a “total machine”? It did happened to show emotions, but is there the possibility of remodeling a person's emotions?
A. We can say that an android guardian is an existence that manipulates the human brain and combines machines.
Q10. Are there any members in the world who are hiding secrets?
A. This is a frequently asked question. Among the ATEEZ members, no one who's hiding something.

I hope you can be curious about ATEEZ's worldview/lore a lot a lot in the future as well, professor Hongjoong's ATEEZ's lore special lecture has ended!
