About ATEEZ:
ATEEZ, short for ‘A TEEnager Z’, is an eight-member South Korean group that has taken the world by storm immediately after their debut in October 2018. Known for standout performances, the octet have turned storytelling into a full musical experience. The eight members of ATEEZ are HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO. Though the initial meaning of their group name stood for ‘everything teenagers need from A to Z’, they have since evolved and grown as artists alongside their fans (named ATINY) to become ‘everything you need from A to Z’. Establishing themselves as top artists early on in their career with a sold out global tour only four months after their debut, they continue to break their own records. With a unique narrative that starts from the very first release in the ‘TREASURE’ album series and continues through the ‘FEVER’ and ‘THE WORLD’ masterpieces, the group combines bestseller narratives with personalized music that speaks to their generation. Beyond the multitude of titles they’ve earned throughout the years as the ‘Next Generation Act’ and ‘Best World Performer’ in award ceremonies, ATEEZ have attained the distinction of becoming a ‘million seller’ group with the release of their 8th EP. In 2024, they dominated on the global stage, taking over festivals around the world with performances at Coachella (US), Summer Sonic (JPN), and even headlining at Mawazine (MAR). Their second studio album, ‘THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL’ broke their personal record on the global charts, debuting at No.1 on the Billboard 200 for the week of December 11 and charting for six weeks. Their followup release ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1’ continued the momentum, capturing No.2 on the Billboard 200 and ranking in at No.7 on the Billboard 2024’s Midyear Top 10 Selling Albums in U.S. The second chapter of their ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ series, ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2’, led by the title track ‘Ice On My Teeth’, writes the stories of their most cherished moments.
