The Devil Is A Gentleman

So the story behind how Chase became involved with the project was just everyone at KQ getting the same thought in their heads and then emailing Chase who was immediately like "OF COURSE I WANT TO DO THIS!"

She truly Atinied so hard, she managed to project her image into the heads of everyone at KQ simultaneously - if this ain't the perfect actress to portray Sopro I don't know who is.

And she's a debut era Atiny too??? Standing outside a tiny Chicago venue to see them??? And she's been to a concert every US-tour since except one when she had to be on set for 'The Testaments'???

Ma'am, you are a legend! Absolute Gold Star Atiny - it's an honor to have her represent this fandom fr holy shit

The way she's still so salty she missed the 'In Your Fantasy' show after being told she'd have a day off so she could make it löaksdjfölaks 100/10 cutie

Tablo feeling the need to tell her he predicted 'One Battle After Another' would win an Oscar before it actually happened and that he bet his whole channel on it is so fucking funny

Aw, no - Mingi's struggling to express himself because he's so nervous and Chase just keeps telling him "Don't be nervous - I'M nervous" 😭

The way they keep showering her in praise for her acting and her bravery and everything is so wholesome~

Aw my heart - Tablo praised Mingi's English, telling him it's perfect right now, because Hongjoong revealed Mingi wanted to back out of coming here once he'd found out Tablo interviews fully in English 😭😭😭

The way Tablo praises is legit so protective dad-like - goes straight to the heart fr

Thank you, Tablo! ♥

And what do you mean Hongjoong called Tablo too before Coachella because he was nervous and wanted to talk to him over dinner 😭

The bond they have is legit so, so sweet

Side-note for Babytinys: Hongjoong and Mingi were on Epik High's YouTube show before (together with Yeosangie) and it was HILARIOUS!

Hongjoong rounding the members up after that dinner to share Tablo's advice with them is so cute 😭

And the way he's laughing his little butt off when Tablo started defending himself because he didn't show up for Mingi's solo performance lmaoooo

So all of Ateez's parents were at the show and one of them snitched that Tablo ran off after Hongjoong's set, right before Mingi came on aölsdkjfaölsdkjfaölskdjöalskda

Mingi: "So you saw SEVEN MEMBERS' solos-"

Tablo: "I- I-"

Mingi: "ATINY! ATINY!" *gestures for us to roast Tablo in the comments*

So Chase's dance covers on her social media were key to her landing her roles in 'One Battle After Another' and 'The Testaments' because it proved her athletic abilities where her acting tape couldn't since it was only about line delivery.

Chase: "So you could say 'Fireworks' helped me get two jobs."

Hongjoong: "But everything can only be possible because she had those special abilities herself."

Chase: "Aww. Thanks."

Not Chase hitting up P.T. Anderson to tell him she'd be in Ateez's MV and him replying "OH HELL YEAH THAT'S SO COOL!"

The way Leonardo DiCaprio knows about Ateez because Chase always talked about them on set öalksdjföalksdjölaks

Tablo's new plan: getting Leo for his next MV lmfao

Back to Hongjoong's origin story at KQ once again lmao - I always love when he mentions the part where he thought he was getting scammed for 6 months, only for Yunho to show up as the second trainee which had Hongjoong thinking "ah, another victim of the scam".

And what do you mean a staff member told Hongjoong "Ah, the next trainee (Mingi) has insane talent - he's a great dancer and singer, but he's a little picky." Like what does that even mean?? lmaoooo

So the KQ vice president loved Mingi because he had mad aura at the audition?? ÖLKJADÖSLFKJAÖSLDKJAÖLSKD

Not them asking Chase to bring her three binders full of Ateez photocards to the next Chicago show LMAOOOO

What do you mean Tablo suggested Chase should shoot some selfies so they can be turned into a photocard for GH Pt.5 and she said "nooo... no" - I WANT A PHOTOCARD OF YOU, CHASE!!!

Both their reactions when Hongjoong brought up seeing his photocard with Kendrick Lamar's signature on it lmao - so cuuute:

When Chase started teasing Tablo because he made it sound like he knew when Ateez's next US tour would be and Tablo just yelled "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE!" BRUH AÖSLDJFÖALSKDJALKS

Mingi: "Hongjoong's already twenty-nine!"

*instant chaos - Chase going "You're making it sound like he's EIGHTY", Tablo: "To me, you're like a baby! Like, I'm surprised you're talking!"*

Tablo: "You're fine."

Hongjoong: "Thank you so much."

Tablo & Mingi: *beefing in the foreground*

Hongjoong & Chase: *chatting peacefully in the background*

Tablo @ Hongjoong: "Have you guys done acting before?"

Hongjoong, tiny voice: "No. [small pause] That's not my work."

Lmaooo - not Chase getting recognized on her way OUT of her local movie theater and the staff going "You're not her in the movie, are you?" and her replying "Actually, I am!" and then walking off to catch her train - absolutely iconic.

Not her also sitting on the plane next to people watching the movie löaksjdöalsk

This is important! Chase's top 5 Ateez songs: 'Guerrilla', 'Say My Name', 'Bouncy', 'The Real (Heung Ver.)', 'Wonderland' - GIRL'S GOT TAAASTE (obviously - she's an Atiny after all)

Chase specifically mentioning the performance previews as one of her favorite things in the lead up to a comeback is everything - I legit think they haven't done that since 'Guerrilla'

Not Tablo asking her to shoot as many movies as possible so next time they do this, they can do Top 5 Chase Infiniti movies lmao

Btw, what Chase said about her license plate in the movie reading 'ATZ', I wish I could show proof for her here, but they gave her car the most low-contrast license plate I've ever seen in my entire life, so it's basically impossible to read

I checked her Instagram too (Wooyoung, Yeosang, Ateez's main photographer, and head stylist all follow her now btw which is adorable), but she hasn't posted the proof picture of the plate - I 100% believe her anyway of course, but it would've been nice to see~

And now, the perfect ending to this whole thing:
