ATEEZ (에이티즈) Are The Future Of K-Pop (i-D Magazine)
We are so excited to see ATEEZ (에이티즈) getting press from outside the typical music industry outlets! This article from i-D, is a glowing review of ATEEZ and the new Treasure EP. FIN All to Action album.
"Their latest album, TREASURE EP.FIN: All To Action, is ATEEZ at their most inventive yet."
The article praises tracks like Wonderland and 안개 (Fog aka Mist) and calls Sunrise a “secret gem.”
"The secret gem on the album, however, is the uplifting pop track 'Sunrise' which was written and composed in part by Hongjoong and encourages listeners to hold out for the sunrise during their darkest moments."
We also get some fun and interesting insights from the interview, which get to the heart of who ATEEZ are as individuals and as a team.
“We still have a long way to go, but my dream when I was a trainee was to form a group with great teamwork and to venture out into the hip-hop, R&B genres,” says Mingi, his kilowatt smile softening as he reflects. “Aside from looking at whether we succeed or not, I want ATEEZ to be a group that continues to venture out into unexplored territory and challenge themselves when it comes to music.”
“And still good teamwork!” Hongjoong interjects. “And to go on forever with eight members. That’s one of our dreams too.“
Give the whole article a read over on the i-D Vice site, and let us know what you think. Did this article hit you, like it did us? What do you think of the increasing press and attention coming from non-traditional music industry press?
