Fresh off the chart success of ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3’ and its repackage, ATEEZ continues to build momentum as one of K-pop’s most powerful global forces. Their 13th EP, ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4,’ sees the group pushing forward with even more confidence, ambition, and an ever-expanding global reach. The EP is out now via Sony Music Korea/RCA Records.

 

ATEEZ kicked off 2026 with momentum, releasing their first lead single of the year, “Adrenaline.” The fast-paced track fuses the group’s explosive, larger-than-life sound with a hypnotic EDM drive, showcasing their signature intensity and precision.

 

Renowned for their fluidity across languages and styles, ATEEZ continue to build a globally resonant catalog, using “Adrenaline” to reach new audiences while sharpening their sonic identity.

 

 

2025 marked a defining chapter for ATEEZ, highlighted by major milestones on the global stage. The group earned their first Billboard Hot 100 entries with “Lemon Drop” (No. 69) and “In Your Fantasy” (No. 68), alongside their fifth No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart with ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3.’ The year also saw ATEEZ recognized as K-pop Artist of the Year at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards and nominated for Favorite K-pop Artist at the American Music Awards, affirming their place in the international music landscape.

 

Looking ahead to 2026, ATEEZ set their sights on an even bolder chapter, preparing to deliver bigger, more dynamic music and performances to audiences worldwide.

 

The fourth chapter of the ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ series features 5 new songs narrating ATEEZ’s determination to move forward with conviction amid a collision of emotions. The EP marks an exciting new turning point in the group's seven-year-long career as their first official project post contract renewal.

 

As ATEEZ continues to prove their status as a global top artist, K-pop fans around the world are eagerly anticipating what they have in store for this year.
