Well, Boys Planet 2 sure turned into a giant mess, didn’t it?  I’m so glad I decided against recapping that show, especially since this new one just landed on my YouTube feed.  What kind of show is it?  I have no idea, but it involves ATEEZ, so you’d better believe it’s a yes. 

Here’s a link to the trailer.  According to Reddit, the official title is ATEEZ – ARTIST+ Double Date:  A Record of Youth.  I’m just calling it Double Date.  It’s brought to us by KBS Kpop/Studio K on the KBS Kpop YouTube channel. 

I have no idea what Double Date is about, but I’m getting the same excitement I had when I first saw BOSS RIIZE, and I need a change from survival reality shows.  Plus, I’ve been wanting to learn more about ATEEZ for a long time.  This is an exciting group with several songs and videos I love, but I don’t really know anything about them.  I know which one is San is because every time I open Instagram, I’m knocked onto my ass with squealing ATINY posts that fog up my screen.

Hi, I’m San.  You may freak out now.

The preview episode drops August 3rd, and after that, we’ll get eight episodes, each dropping on a Sunday, starting August 10th.  They air at 6pm Korean time, or 5am EST.  Guessing by the trailer, this show will take us on wild adventures with our jimseung-dols.  The trailer shows them paragliding, riding roller coasters, jet skiing, and driving expensive cars really fast.  I love these guys, but if these are their ideas for fun dates, I’ll wait quietly on dry land until they return so we can grab lunch at Applebees.  I think there’s a meal deal on the boneless wings.

At first, I was disappointed that this will air on YouTube, but the KBS channel promises that the video will be presented in HDR.  These screenshots I’m getting from the trailer look quite promising. 

So how about it, ATINY?  Let’s double date with ATEEZ, and just like with my recaps about Stray Kids and Treasure, I’ll appreciate any insight you can give me about these guys.  Let’s go ahead and place our bets on how many trips to the emergency room we’ll see on this show.

It’s okay, San.  The doctor says Hongjoong will be out of surgery in time for snowboarding.

Join me for my recap of the preview episode, airing August 3rd.  See you then!
