They continued, “We are happy to continue our relationship based on the trust built over the past 7 years. We will continue to give our full support so that each member can fully showcase their limitless talents and expand into even greater and broader stages.”
Previously, during the press conference for the release of their 12th mini album “Golden Hour: Part 3”, ATEEZ had hinted at the possibility of a contract renewal. At the time, leader Hongjoong stated, “We’ve been thinking deeply about how we want to present ATEEZ in the long term. We will share good news very soon,” signaling a positive outcome. Now, with the news of full-group renewal, expectations are rising for ATEEZ’s future performances on the global stage as a ‘top-class’ group.

In 2021, they entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart for the first time with their 7th mini album “Zero: Fever Part 3”, and later achieved a No. 1 spot on the same chart with their 2nd full album “The World EP.Fin: Will” in 2023. Following that, their 11th mini album “Golden Hour: Part 2”, released in November 2023, earned them their second No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
In June this year, their 12th mini album “Golden Hour: Part 3” made history for the group when the title track “Lemonade” debuted at No. 69 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100—marking their first-ever entry on the chart.
With the exciting news that all members have renewed their contracts, ATEEZ is set to make a comeback on July 11 at 1 PM KST.
