ATEEZ are nothing if not memorable. 

From their earworm hits to their mesmerising performances, the eight-piece group always know how to leave a lasting impression. Recognised for their catchy hooks, booming vocals, and ground-shaking choreography, ATEEZ have taken the K-pop world by storm ever since their debut in 2018.

Even as everything slowed down during the pandemic, Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho continued moving, releasing an arsenal of hits including 'Deja Vu', 'Fireworks', 'Guerrilla', and 'BOUNCY', and now taking over stages all over the world.

Their growth is impressive, but definitely not surprising. Bright-eyed and passionate, ATEEZ have always worked hard for their goals and poured their entire heart and soul into their music. And as a result, they're one of the most recognisable names in K-pop today.

But at the center of success, of course, is their beloved community of fans, ATINY. 

"Despite the busy schedule, I think the reason we could stay motivated is because of ATINY's love and support. While difficult at times, the energy and love from fans really empowered us so going into schedules I felt I could gain strength to do my best," says San, in a press conference. "Knowing there are people who love me this much empowers me to happily work on things one by one. I'm very thankful for ATINY."

"On stage, when I get [to communicate] with ATINY our fans, that time is the best moment ever. [I love] when they sing along with our songs or when I can see their eyes and their eyes shows that they really enjoyed this concert. We really miss them like that. When I can feel that feeling, the time is the best moment on the stage," adds Hongjoong. 

"The moment I find most enjoyable is being on stage and performing in front of our fans. When we see our fans, we get a lot of energy and we want to thank ATINY for that," says Jongho. 

While the bond between artist and fan is always special, there's something beautiful about the way ATEEZ connect with ATINY. Dedicating every win and milestone of their careers to them, their fans have become their greatest motivators and even their most trusted confidants through all the ups and downs of their journey. 

"Our ATINY always wait for our new songs and new stages every time so we always try to listen and see their opinion on what they want to listen and what they want to see," explains Hongjoong.

"We will consider the production with their opinions and what they want. This is [part of] our good relationship and communication, [this is what we think about] when we make new things for ATINY. We get so much energy from them and more inspiration from that too."

Throughout this year, ATEEZ have been making new memories with their best friends as they embark on their The Fellowship: Break The Wall world tour. They're set to conclude the tour in Singapore and Manila this September.
