Few groups walk into a release week the way ATEEZ do this week. On Sunday 8 November they won Grand Record at the Korea Grand Music Awards, a daesang, for the second year in a row. On Friday 13 November at 14:00 Seoul time Golden Hour: Part.6 came out, their fifteenth EP, led by "UP". The music video is at the top of this page.
Where to start, past the hits
Most new fans arrive through "Bad", "Work" or "Guerrilla". Good choices, and you will find them on the ATEEZ page. Three title tracks that get less attention say just as much about the group.
- "Deja Vu" (2021)The lead single of Zero: Fever Part.3, from the years when ATEEZ were still building their name outside Korea.
- "Halazia" (2022)From the single album Spin Off: From the Witness, a side step in the middle of The World story.
- "Bouncy (K-Hot Chilli Peppers)" (2023)The title track of The World EP.2: Outlaw, and one of their most playful.
The era to know: The World
If you only read up on one chapter, make it The World. It opened in July 2022 with The World EP.1: Movement, their first million seller, which went to No. 3 on the Billboard 200. It closed in December 2023 with The World EP.Fin: Will, their first No. 1 in the US. A few months later they were the first K-pop boy group on the Coachella lineup. Everything since, from the Golden Hour series to two more Billboard 200 No. 1s, grew out of those eighteen months.
What comes next
The pre-release "Drip" came out on 23 October, on a heavy trap beat. After the release the road calls. The Zero to All world tour opens in Incheon on 22 January 2027 and comes to Europe in the spring, with London on 31 March and shows in Lyon, Berlin, Krakow, Amsterdam, Cologne and Antwerp in April. The dates are on the ATEEZ page, and you can follow the tour from there. Want the tour countdown on a second screen? Put the arrivals board up.
From the DJ booth
Our resident DJ puts it like this: "ATEEZ songs work because they have a real club sound. The bass is heavy, the energy never drops, and on top of that comes a big dose of catchy melody. Put one on and the dance floor fills up, pretty much every time."
