ATEEZ Discusses Contract Renewal and New Album 'Golden Hour: Part 3'

ATEEZ opens up about their contract renewal.

On the 12th, ATEEZ held a press conference at Hotel Naru Seoul MGallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their 12th mini-album, 'Golden Hour: Part 3'.

Having achieved remarkable success, including topping the 'Billboard 200' chart, ATEEZ was asked about their goals for this album. Hongjoong responded, "While visible achievements are great, our goal is to continue as a group of eight for a long time, delivering high quality and meaningful messages. It's more important to gain credibility through our efforts rather than just showing something visible."

As ATEEZ approaches their 7th anniversary in October, discussions about contract renewals are becoming more relevant. Regarding this, Hongjoong stated, "We are contemplating how to present ATEEZ for a long time and in what manner. We aim to bring good news and show our best soon."

The third installment of the 'Golden Hour' series, 'Golden Hour: Part 3', is their first new album in about seven months. The title track, 'Lemon Drop', is a summer-themed song in the R&B and hip-hop genres, showcasing ATEEZ's unique musical style and delicate emotions. Members Hongjoong and Mingi participated in writing the lyrics.

ATEEZ's 12th mini-album 'Golden Hour: Part 3' will be released on the 13th at 1 PM.
