ATEEZ has achieved another career high with their 14th mini album.

With their 14th mini album, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5, released on June 26, ATEEZ surpassed 1.88 million copies in first-week sales (sales during the first week of release), breaking their own personal record.

This milestone marks the group's seventh million-seller achievement. By exceeding the first-week sales of their previous albums, ATEEZ has once again proven their formidable power in physical album sales and the strength of their global fandom.

GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 captures ATEEZ joyfully embracing moments led by instinct and sensation. All tracks on the album, including the title song BAD, as well as MAMACITA, TOXIN, Fallin', and Body, are receiving widespread love.

Beyond their physical album performance, the group is maintaining a strong presence on both domestic and international charts. The new release swept to number one on the Hanteo Chart, Circle Chart's retail album chart, and Bugs' real-time and daily album charts. Furthermore, it topped iTunes Top Albums charts in 31 countries around the world, proving their global popularity.
The title track, BAD, also reached number one on Bugs' real-time and daily charts and topped iTunes Top Songs charts in 8 countries, while also making its mark on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and the European iTunes Song Chart.

Interest in the music video is also intense. The music video for BAD, which garnered attention even before its release due to the appearance of Hollywood actor Chase Infiniti, has surpassed 10 million views and reached number one on YouTube's Worldwide Trending Music Videos chart, demonstrating the group's global buzz.

Last year, ATEEZ solidified their position as a representative global K-pop group by winning numerous awards, including the Prime Minister's Commendation at the Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards, the Grand Prize at the Korea Grand Music Awards, the Grand Prize at the Asia Artist Awards, and this year, the Grand Prize at the Seoul Music Awards and the ASEA Grand Prize.

Meanwhile, ATEEZ will meet their fans at their 2026 fan meeting, ATINY'S VOYAGE : TINY MYSTERY, which will be held at Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul from July 17 to 19.
