Welcome to our first full episode of HALA chat!

Each week we attempt to discuss the latest in ATEEZ happenings but mostly go on a series of wild tangents we make a valiant effort to bring together in the end. If you're not a kpop fan and somehow stumbled into this podcast, ATEEZ is an 8 member boy group from South Korea. Their fans are called atiny, and we are atiny.

Things we chat about today: individual Instagrams have arrived, atiny complain again, pro-chestnut leanings, the glory of Mawazine, Jongho wearing a full sail, ATEEZ fanservice, gate-keeping our small company origins

Welcome to HALA chat! In this preview episode, we attempt to reminisce on how we first met and instead go on a spectacularly long tangent about the zombie apocalypse. Originally part of an introductory segment that has been cut for time, this conversation detailing which members of ATEEZ we're putting on our zombie apocalypse team will give you some insight into who we are, how we think, and why all of our stories take ten years to tell. Our first full episode will be up on Wednesday, and we will have new episodes every Wednesday after that! If you enjoyed, please follow or subscribe on your favorite podcast platform. You can connect with us at oldauntiny@gmail.com or through our website. You can also follow us on X @halachatpodcast.

HALA chat is a space to celebrate and obsess over all things ATEEZ. Each week hosts Bobby and Rachel will dive deep into the latest and greatest happenings in ATEEZ lore, fashion, fandom, and more. With the laid-back attitude of your coolest aunt, they explore the ups and downs of being a seasoned kpop stan with humor, logic, and a little bit of grace. Enjoy these clips from forthcoming episodes, and preview the topics your hosts are passionate about. So grab your glass and “geonbaehaja like a thunder” as you tap that “follow” button.
