Presented by AEG Presents, 2024 ATEEZ WORLD TOUR [TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER] IN NORTH AMERICA visited Capital One Arena on August 6.
The tour followed the release of the most recent album from ATEEZ — Golden Hour Pt. 1, published on May 31 via KQ Entertainment. It broke plenty of records such as the best selling K-POP album this year.
Watch the official music video for “WORK” by ATEEZ on YouTube:
ATEEZ, short for “A TEEnager Z,” is an eight-member South Korean group that has taken the world by storm immediately after their debut in October 2018. Known for standout performances that combine runway aesthetics with darker tones lined by hip-hop and electronic trap mixes, the octet have turned storytelling into a full musical experience.
The eight members of ATEEZ are HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO. Their group name stood for “everything teenagers need from A to Z,” and has since evolved alongside their fans (named ATINY) to become “everything you need from A to Z.” Establishing themselves as top artists early on in their career with a sold out global tour only four months after their debut, they continue to break their own records.
In a unique narrative that starts from the very first release in the TREASURE album series and continues through the FEVER and THE WORLD masterpieces, the group combines bestseller narratives with personalized music that speaks to their generation. The pirates of the high K-pop seas ATEEZ have made their mark as a million seller group, charting on the Billboard 200 with multiple releases and setting a new milestone with their latest release topping the chart at No. 1.
