2024 and 2025 have been huge for ATEEZ. Ever since their buzzworthy Coachella 2024 stage, the group’s popularity has skyrocketed domestically and globally.
Fans have been waiting for this update ever since leader Hongjoong hinted at the renewal last month while promoting their latest album. The group’s 12th mini-album, Golden Hour : Part.3, recently made headlines with its title track Lemon Drop debuting at No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It was a major milestone for ATEEZ and their debut hit on the HOT 100. With this, they joined BTS and Stray Kids as the only K-pop boy bands to chart on the HOT 100.
Since their debut in 2018 with Treasure Ep.1: All to Zero, ATEEZ has quickly risen to the top of the global K-pop scene. They landed their first Billboard 200 entry in 2021 with Zero : Fever Part.3 and have claimed two No. 1 positions on the prestigious chart since then.
Their 2nd studio album The World EP.FIN : WILL and 11th mini-album Golden Hour : Part.2 topped Billboard’s main album chart, Billboard 200.
Over the years, ATEEZ has dropped some of the most memorable songs, Treasure, Say My Name, Wave, Pirate King, and more.
The group now gears up for a busy year ahead and has already kicked off their 5th world tour, IN YOUR FANTASY, in Seoul last weekend. Next, they will tour North America, beginning with stops in Atlanta (July 10), New York (July 13), Baltimore (July 16), and more.
In related news, ATEEZ will release Golden Hour : Part.3 in Your Fantasy Edition on July 11, adding new content to their record-breaking comeback. With their contract renewal now official, fans can look forward to even bigger stages and new chapters ahead.
