About two weeks ago, the K-Pop group ATEEZ came full circle in their career.

ATEEZ's first trip to Morocco was in 2018, where they recorded their debut songs 'Pirate King' and 'Treasure' in various locations such as the Moroccan Sahara, Rabat, and other cities. This debut is what gave them their "Pirate Kings" nickname which is used up to this day.

In an interview, they shared their experience of shooting the music video in Morocco. They described the Moroccan sky as so clear and the stars so bright that it made them forget their fatigue from the day's shooting. Despite needing to shoot before sunrise, they stayed up gazing at the stars, unable to capture their beauty in pictures. They also enjoyed visiting the Moroccan Sahara, which they had only seen in schoolbooks before. The group praised the local cuisine, particularly loving the soups and chicken Tagine stew, a staple of Moroccan cuisine. Additionally, they mentioned how addictive Arabic bread was because of how good it is.
