ATEEZ reflects on 'BAD' success ahead of new album release
During a press conference for their 15th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6', ATEEZ members reflected on the massive success of their previous title track 'BAD' and its viral impact.
During a press conference in Seoul on the 12th, ATEEZ expressed gratitude for the viral success of their June title track 'BAD' as they prepare to release their 15th mini album, 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6', on the 13th.
A press conference for ATEEZ (HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, JONGHO) regarding their 15th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6' was held at the Novotel Ambassador in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at 2 p.m. on the 12th. The event was hosted by comedian Yoo Jae-pil.
This event marks the first official gathering in five months following the massive success of 'BAD', the title track from their 14th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5' released in June. The 'BAD' challenge spread across short-form platforms, with member SAN's choreography becoming a major point of interest.
WOOYOUNG expressed his gratitude, stating, "I am thankful to have become much better known to the domestic public through the 'BAD' album." He added, "Thanks to that, small benefits have arisen, such as being given an extra service or receiving warmer greetings," and shared his ambition to "become an idol worthy of that recognition."
MINGI shared an anecdote from the filming of the music video for the title track 'Up', laughing as he said, "It felt like visiting the soy-marinated crab restaurant of my life. I would want to go back even if there were no filming. And thank you for recognizing us and making it even more delicious."
Captain HONGJOONG emphasized, "The start of the 'BAD' virality was the stage video. The reason a video lasting only a few seconds went viral is that the gaze, choreography, and expression shown by SAN on stage played a large role." He stressed, "The stage and music are the essence, and I want to continue being loved through iconic stages and good music."
Encouraging junior groups, WOOYOUNG said, "Each group has a different pace, so let's not rush and not give up. If you work hard, you can definitely achieve it," reaffirming ATEEZ as an example that has proven the miracle of a small-to-medium agency.
ATEEZ's 15th mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6' is scheduled to be released on various music sites at 2 p.m. on the 13th.
