Ateez pulls off a ‘Fast & Furious’ in ‘Deja Vu’ music video for ‘Fever Part 3’

Ateez release 'Fever Part 3' and drop a dark music video for the title track 'Deja Vu'

The much-awaited comeback is finally here. While the days up to the release of Ateez’s ‘Fever Part 3’ was quite eventful, Atinys have been eagerly waiting for ‘Fever Part 3’ and the music videos of ‘Deja Vu’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine’. There was much commotion as it is the first OT8 comeback of the year and happens to be with Ateez’s eighth mini-album. Additionally with 810k pre-orders, ‘Fever Part 3’ is the highest pre-ordered mini-album by a fourth-gen group.

Fans couldn’t really guess if the music videos ‘Deja Vu’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine’ would be released at the same time since the previous dual-title track eras had different schedules. ‘Wave’ and ‘Illusion’ music videos were released on the same date. But the music video for ‘Inception’ was released on July 29, 2020 while ‘Thanxx’s’ was released a month later. KQ released ‘Deja Vu’s’ music video first and it looks like we will get ‘Eternal Sunshine’ later.

Ateez drops 'Deja Vu' music video

Like the mysterious concept photos and eerie-trap sounds, ‘Deja Vu’ begins with the boys on a rooftop with lightning in the background. Yunho starts off the choreography in the center as the boys dance in all black leather outfits. The performance-heavy music video is intercut with sci-fi heist like scenes as the boys gather in sleek black cars reminisce of ‘Fast & Furious’ and ‘Matrix’ car chase sequences. The music video also continues the storyline of the fedora man and Hala Ateez making fans wonder if the boys are still stuck in the parallel universe from their previous comebacks.

Watch the music video for ‘Deja Vu’ below.

While Ateez also got Mamamoo’s Moonbyul to vote for her favorite song as the title track, we will get more interactions between the two acts. It has been revealed that Yunho and Mingi will be guests for Moonbyul’s radio show ‘Studio Moon Night’ on Naver Now. The episode will air on September 17 at 9 pm KST (8 am ET). Ateez has also filmed with Jessi for her variety show ‘Jessi’s Showterview’ but the air date is not yet confirmed. Here’s the whole list of Ateez’s schedule and the shows with confirmed dates that they will be appearing for this comeback.

'Insane'

Atinys couldn’t get over the intense music video and album as they trended ‘Ateez Is Here’ and #Deja_Vu. One fan tweeted, “This woosan part in deja vu > everything else.” Another added, “THE WHISPER. MINGI IS INSANE.” Atinys were also confused about the ending, “Yeosang broke the chromer?!! That is why he was trapped bc he is the one who mess it up!!” “Yunho swaying his hip while it’s raining hits so f**king differently,” said one. Fans were also happy that Jongho performed the song despite having a knee injury, “Jongho there !! we still get Ot8 stage performance !! *cries*.” One fan commented, “NO ONE’S DOING IT LIKE KIM HONGJOONG.” Another tweeted, “Oh my god. park seonghwa.”
