ZERO : FEVER Part.2
ZERO : FEVER Part.2 (2021) continues ATEEZ's coming-of-age FEVER series, opening with the festival-fire title track 불놀이야 (I'm The One). The set runs from loud, playful slang about posers and school-prefect discipline to gentle vocabulary for jealousy, hurt and comfort. It closes with the self-affirming words of Celebrate: being born as yourself, your own worth, and youth.
