What happened

Hongjoong’s short builds toward a musical drop with clipped English commands including “Pick your body up,” “Fast,” “Jump,” and “Let’s go.”

In the Korean comments

One top comment reads, in translation, “Kim Hongjoong really deserves to get much bigger—he’s seriously so skilled in today’s idol scene.” Another calls him a 본업천재 (boneop cheonjae, “genius at his main job”), casual fandom praise for someone exceptionally good at performing.

What the words mean

뜨다 (tteuda) literally means “to rise” or “float,” but in comments saying Hongjoong should “rise more” or asking why ATEEZ have not “risen,” it means to break through and become more widely popular. The usage is casual and emphatic.
