Who are ATEEZ?

ATEEZ (에이티즈) are an eight-member boy group under KQ Entertainment: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho. They debuted on 24 October 2018 with the mini album Treasure EP.1: All To Zero, which carried two title tracks, “Treasure” and “Pirate King”. Their fandom is called ATINY, a portmanteau of ATEEZ and destiny.

Where to start

‘BAD’, the title track of the fourteenth mini album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5, is the group’s current release and the record that gave them their third Billboard 200 number one in July 2026. A Japanese version followed on 29 July.

The group’s own YouTube channel and KQ Entertainment’s channel carry the official music videos and performance clips. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them, so those channels and Korean music-show stages are the place to watch.
