ATEEZ opens 2024 world tour today (27th)
ATEEZ will begin its 2024 world tour 'TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER' at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul for two days from the 27th to the 28th.
With the 2nd full-length album 'THE WORLD EP FIN: WILL' released in December last year, they achieved a career high by writing a new history by ranking first on the US 'Billboard 200' and second on the UK 'Official Album Chart'. ATEEZ broke the record. Announcing a new world tour for 2024, not only did they prove their powerful ticket power by quickly selling out all tickets for both the Seoul and Japan performances after opening, but the highlight of this tour was that they attracted a lot of interest from numerous K-pop fans. I pointed out four things.
▶First public stage and special performance with new charms
Through this performance, ATEEZ prepared not only various first public stages, but also a special stage full of new charms of the members that have never been seen anywhere before. In particular, in Seoul, which is the starting point of the tour, they met fans in person for the first time in about 9 months since ''THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL' ANCHOR IN SEOUL'' held in April last year. As it is a place where people can breathe together, they actively participated in the preparation of the performance by giving many opinions, and it is said that they prepared a more solid composition. With a more diverse set list and performances that only ATEEZ can show, they plan to further solidify the title of 'the best restaurant on stage'.
▶Solid directing that incorporates the album’s worldview
The title name of this world tour, ‘Two Wars the Light: Will to Power’, captures the meaning that we all have our own light and that we should move toward that light. From the 8th mini album 'THE WORLD EP1: MOVEMENT' released in July 2022 to the 9th mini album 'THE WORLD EP2: OUTLAW' released in June 2023. ' and the recently released second full-length album 'THE WORLD EPFIN: WILL', the 'The World' album series contains a story that awakens the controlled society through music and art. ATEEZ plans to deliver a message of encouragement and support to find their own light without being swayed by the gaze of others through a performance that organically incorporates this, raising curiosity about what kind of appearance they will show through the newly launched world tour.
▶More flashy and bold stage scale
ATEEZ is expected to attract attention with its bold scale, including combining the existing worldview and new performances, as well as installing a set equivalent to approximately 16 meters, the highest height that can be produced at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, where the performance will be held on this day. In addition, the VCR between the stages is expected to fascinate the audience with a movie-like composition, and ATEEZ will once again present the best stage through the 2024 World Tour.
▶Ateez
Previously, through the world tour 'THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL' in October 2022, the group will tour Seoul, Japan, the Americas, Europe, South America, and Asia, meeting a total of 400,000 fans for about a year. Those who returned successfully completed their first South American tour and Asian tour since their debut, proving their global popularity and topicality at the same time. In addition, ATEEZ is by far the key point to watch in the ATEEZ world tour, not only through performance, but also through solid live skills accumulated through numerous stages, and how to face and communicate with fans around the world and work together until the end of the performance.
Meanwhile, the Seoul performance of ATEEZ's 2024 World Tour 'Two Words the Light: Will to Power' will be held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium from today (27th) to tomorrow (28th).
