The group 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 within the first week of release), breaking their own personal record.
With this achievement, ATEEZ has become a million-seller for the seventh time in their career. By recording first-week sales that exceed those of their previous albums, the group has once again proven their formidable power in physical album sales and the strength of their global fandom.
GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 captures ATEEZ as they joyfully embrace moments led by instinct and sensation. All tracks on the album, including the title track BAD, as well as MAMACITA, TOXIN, Fallin', and Body, are receiving widespread love.
The group is maintaining a strong presence on both domestic and international charts beyond just physical album sales. Their new release swept to No. 1 on the Hanteo Chart, Circle Chart's retail album chart, and Bugs' real-time and daily album charts. It also topped iTunes Top Album charts in 31 countries around the world, proving their global popularity.
The title track BAD also reached No. 1 on Bugs' real-time and daily charts and topped iTunes Top Song charts in 8 countries, while also making its mark on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and 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 No. 1 on the YouTube Music Video Trending Worldwide chart, proving its global buzz.
ATEEZ has solidified their position as a representative global K-pop group by winning a series of awards, including the Prime Minister's Commendation at the 2025 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards, the Grand Prize at the Korea Grand Music Awards, the Grand Prize at the Asia Artist Awards, and the Grand Prize at the Seoul Music Awards and the ASEA held this year.
Meanwhile, ATEEZ will hold their 2026 fan meeting, ATINY'S VOYAGE : TINY MYSTERY, from July 17 to 19 at Hwajeong Gymnasium at Korea University in Seoul to meet with their fans.
