Who are ATEEZ?
ATEEZ, short for 'A TEEnager Z', is an eight-member South Korean group that has taken the world by storm immediately after their debut in October 2018. Known for standout performances that combine runway aesthetics with darker tones lined by hip-hop and electronic trap mixes, the octet have turned storytelling into a full musical experience. The eight members of ATEEZ are HONG JOONG, SEONG HWA, YUN HO, YEO SANG, SAN, MIN GI, WOO YOUNG, and JONG HO. Though the initial meaning of their group name stood for 'everything teenagers need from A to Z', they have since evolved and grown as artists alongside their fans (named ATINY) to become 'everything you need from A to Z'. Establishing themselves as top artists early on in their career with a sold out global tour only four months after their debut, they continue to break their own records. In a unique narrative that starts from the very first release in the 'TREASURE' album series and continues through the 'FEVER' and 'THE WORLD' masterpieces, the group combines bestseller narratives with personalized music that speaks to their generation. ATEEZ has attained the label of a 'million seller' group with their 10th EP release of 'THE WORLD EP.1 : MOVEMENT', among other achievements of being nominated and winning titles throughout the years as the 'Next Generation Act' and 'Top Act' in award ceremonies to placing 3rd on the Billboard 200 Chart.
