For the team to succeed, individuals must exist, and by supporting each other, ATEEZ has become what it is today." Regarding the full group contract renewal, he stated, "If the past seven years were about experiencing the fever of youth and continuously challenging ourselves, the next seven years will be about truly showcasing ATEEZ at greater heights."

In closing, Mingi conveyed his heartfelt message to fans, saying, "I hope that through ATEEZ's music, each person's life improves even a little. When our fans are happy, I am happy too."
