Group ATEEZ is gearing up to make a serious splash. The 2026 blueprint for their legendary self-produced variety show, "WANTEEZ," has been unveiled, sending fans' hearts racing.

On January 8th, a video titled "WANTEEZ Meeting: Coming Soon" was uploaded to ATEEZ's official YouTube channel, capturing the members in a frenzied brainstorming session for the new season. Excluding Jongho, who was absent due to personal schedules, the members declared, "This year's scale must be on another level," pouring out ideas across all genres.

■ "From Deserted Island Survival to Water Immersions"... The Ultimate "Raw" Content The plans proposed by the members are nothing short of groundbreaking. Beyond simple games, "survival" and "hardship" have emerged as key themes.

Extreme Survival: Concepts such as turning into pirates to build their own boat and escape a deserted island, or "2 Days & 1 Night" style winter outdoor sleeping and water immersions, were discussed to showcase ATEEZ’s signature grit.

Real-Life Games: From the long-awaited horror escape rooms to "TeezTeezDuck"—an ATEEZ-style reinterpretation of the popular game Goose Goose Duck—highly immersive content is on the horizon.

Variety Parodies: High expectations are set for an ATEEZ version of trending dating reality shows and "ad-lib dramas" where the director changes every episode, sending the plot in wild directions.

One particularly hilarious idea that had everyone laughing was the "8 Sans" special, where all eight members would dress and act exactly like member San.

■ "Can’t Wait Until March"... Unmatched Fan Love During the Hiatus ATEEZ also showed deep consideration for fans feeling the void during their content hiatus. Leader Hongjoong decided to release this meeting video early, noting, "The wait until the new season in March is too long for fans."

Fans who watched the video are reacting enthusiastically, saying, "ATEEZ is about to dominate the variety scene," "The deserted island escape is going to be epic," and "Holding my breath until March!" The new season of ATEEZ's "WANTEEZ" is set to officially premiere this March.
