ATEEZ

Formed in Seoul by KQ Entertainment, ATEEZ brings together eight members: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho. First introduced under the name KQ Fellaz, the group debuted in 2018 with the EP Treasure EP.1: All to Zero and quickly established a formula that mixes K‑pop, hip‑hop, trap and EDM, featuring very melodic choruses, pronounced rap verses and a strong emphasis on staging. ATEEZ's discography is organized in cycles, from the Treasure series to Zero: Fever and then The World, notably including the first studio album Treasure EP.Fin: All to Action (2019), The World EP.Fin: Will (2023) and the EPs Golden Hour: Part.1 (2024) and Golden Hour: Part.2 (2024). Hongjoong and Mingi regularly contribute to the songwriting, accompanying the evolution of a sound that is sometimes dark, sometimes more direct, marked by electronic influences and recurring narrative motifs. ATEEZ also built an international presence early on, with world tours, appearances at KCON, dates in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and collaborations with Kim Jong‑kook, Pentatonix and Be:First. In 2024, ATEEZ became the first South Korean boy band to perform at Coachella and the first K‑pop group to headline the Mawazine festival.
