To finish off a series of articles appreciating the individual members of ATEEZ — Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho — it’s time to give all of our love and respect to the group’s leader and captain, Hongjoong!
Not only is Hongjoong incredibly talented in a wide variety of fields, from singing and rapping, to dancing and producing music and playing instruments, and many more besides that, but he’s also just an incredible leader that has taken his role seriously and responsibly. He is extremely hard-working and determined, but also makes sure to take care of his members with respect and love, and it’s impossible not to admire him. Here are 17 reasons why Hongjoong deserves the whole world.
1. There’s literally nothing he can’t do.

2. ATEEZ’s music and career is so much more to him than just a job.
“I started working since high school and barely went to school spending most of the time in the studio. So these guys meant a lot to me. I’m not doing this for the show but at some point I felt like they were really my family”

14. It’s clear that he loves and cherishes each ATINY individually.
that same palm reader said that hongjoong has experienced many lives before and it’s mentally strong in a lot of ways and that he learned love early in his life which probs explains why he always takes time to look at each of us :{ pic.twitter.com/hjjlX2V6We

15. He always puts his entire being into every performance.
can we all agree that hongjoong never fails to deliver pure and raw emotions everytime he performs? the way he emotionally kneeled down and rap his lungs out using MINGI’S MIC was something we should never forget as an atiny. my respect for this man keeps growing every single day pic.twitter.com/cgPit9rxpe

17. Wouldn’t you want to give the world to your best friend?
What is ATINY to you?
“To me, ATINY is… a bestfriend? Usually, we feel a lot of different emotions when we’re with our friend right? Passing touching moments and laughing at every little things. That’s why I think ATINY is my best friend.” — Hongjoongpic.twitter.com/IM8VRy4uzg
