The group ATEEZ conveyed their thoughts on contract renewal.

ATEEZ held a press meeting on Dec. 12 at Hotel Naru Seoul M Gallery in Mapo District, Seoul, to commemorate the release of their 12th mini album 'Golden Hour: Part 3 (GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3)' and discussed their new album.

With their previous 11th mini album 'Golden Hour: Part 2 (GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2)', ATEEZ secured their second No. 1 on Billboard's main chart, the 'Billboard 200', and broke the record for the highest local sales in the first week of release, continuing their global upward trend.

In this regard, the members said, “We are grateful for the good results thanks to our ATEEZ fans. Rather than feeling pressure over this album's performance, we hope to create good memories and to remain healthy while pursuing our path,” adding, “We have achieved many goals, and our next goal is to work hard to become a group that can show our ATEEZ members in good form together for a long time.”

They further noted, “Over the past seven years, it seems we have achieved many visible successes. I believe nothing could have been accomplished without our ATEEZ fans, so while it would be nice to achieve larger concert venues or share better songs, we want to demonstrate through the Golden Hour series that ATEEZ is a group willing to take risks and show different aspects of our music. For our next step, we want to present something that will surprise our fans, which we consider our achievement.”

Celebrating their seventh anniversary this year, ATEEZ expressed, “We are grateful to our ATEEZ fans for joining us for seven years and appreciate the members for their health and activities.” They added, “Regarding contract renewal, we are deeply considering how to present ATEEZ over the long term and in what ways. We will work to provide good news soon.”
