ATEEZ continues the global K-pop fever with the 13th mini album


The group ATEEZ released their 13th mini-album, "Golden Hour: Part 4," on February 6, 2026. This album is a work that reflects the experiences and beliefs ATEEZ has accumulated over time. It includes songs of various genres such as the title track "Adrenaline," "Ghost," "NASA," "On The Road," and "Choose."

Since their debut in October 2018, ATEEZ has rapidly grown and established their position in the global K-pop market. They gained attention by entering the Billboard 200, the main album chart in the United States, with their 7th mini-album "Zero: Fever Part 3" in 2021. Later, they topped the charts with their 2nd full-length album "THE WORLD EP FIN: WILL" in 2023. Their 11th mini-album "Golden Hour: Part 2," released in November 2024, marked their second No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

On December 6 last year, ATEEZ won five awards, including "Stage of the Year," at the "10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025" held at the Kaohsiung National Stadium. Seonghwa said, "We performed many year-end stages, but I was very satisfied with how well our performance was captured at the '10th Anniversary AAA 2025'." Wooyoung joked, "Condition management is important for artists, and they gave us a really nice hotel."

Hongjoong stated, "ATEEZ attended for the first time. I thought we should continue to attend such award ceremonies often and work hard to become artists who receive many awards." Yunho, who won the New Wave Award, said, "Thanks to the support of the members and the fans."

Through this album, ATEEZ aimed to depict their most brilliant moments. Seonghwa explained, "This album especially represents our unwavering beliefs well." Hongjoong added, "The title track 'Adrenaline' has a somewhat different vibe from the genres we used to do," expressing their desire to show a new side.

During the choreography creation process, Seonghwa said, "This time, we want to show it. It doesn't matter if it's hard." Wooyoung mentioned, "When we first received the draft, I thought it was somewhat weaker than expected," and revealed that it went through several revisions. San said, "I think adrenaline secreted in extreme situations is the power that pushes you one step further."

Mingi said, "We tried to break the existing framework with this album," expressing his wish to show a new side. Hongjoong revealed, "Among the things we talked about among ourselves, we included expressions that we thought would be fun to use as lyrics."

ATEEZ feels a sense of accomplishment by seeing fans' reactions during this promotion. Yunho said, "I feel even prouder because people like the intense performances." Hongjoong shared, "What I felt during the fan sign event was that people who got to know us through other genres seem to enjoy the intense performances, and those who originally liked us seem satisfied as well."

Regarding military enlistment plans, Hongjoong said, "When the country calls, fulfilling the duty of national defense is of course necessary," and promised fans that he would continue activities without causing disappointment. Seonghwa added, "Since we renewed our contracts, I don't think there will be any major issues after discharge."

Based on their past experiences, ATEEZ dreams even bigger for the future. Jongho said, "The world of music seems endless," and expressed his desire to take on more challenges. Hongjoong said, "I want to stand on stages like the Grammy Awards or the Super Bowl halftime show." Mingi said, "I hope there will be a stage someday where Korean is heard resonating."

ATEEZ does not settle for their current achievements and plans to continue moving toward new goals.
