ATEEZ
On August 4th and 5th, ATEEZ unveiled the first individual photos for its Japanese album “ASH TO LIGHT“.
After announcing the release of its second full-length Japanese album on July 22, ATEEZ has just unveiled the first set of individual concept photos. Approximately four years and six months after its first full album, “INTO THE A TO Z“, released in March 2021, ATEEZ will make its comeback on September 17 with the album “ASH TO LIGHT“.
In the newly revealed photos, the members of ATEEZ (HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, JONGHO) exude a sophisticated charm, enhanced by all-black outfits that stand out against a pristine white background. Each member’s distinctive features and intense gazes have especially caught the attention of ATINYs (fandom name) around the globe.
Alongside the close-up portraits, full-body shots were also released, showcasing the members’ tall silhouettes. Through fashion-inspired poses, each member expresses their unique personality. This blend of elegance and charisma only heightens the anticipation for the upcoming album release.
After topping the Billboard charts with its 12th mini-album “GOLDEN HOUR: PART. 3“, released in June, and its reedition “GOLDEN HOUR: Part 3 ‘IN YOUR FANTASY EDITION’” in July, ATEEZ is now building strong anticipation for its upcoming Japanese release, “ASH TO LIGHT“.
With the title “Not okay” — originally released as a single last year — the album will include a total of nine tracks. Among them are previously released songs such as “Days“, “Birthday“, and “Forevermore“, along with five brand-new songs. The title “ASH TO LIGHT” symbolizes rebirth and hope emerging from hardship.
Before the album’s release, ATEEZ will be reuniting with its Japanese fans through a three-day concert series in Saitama from September 13 to 15, as part of its “ATEEZ 2025 WORLD TOUR ‘IN YOUR FANTASY’“. The group will then continue with two shows in Nagoya on September 20 and 21, followed by two performances in Kobe on October 22 and 23.
Finally, ATEEZ will officially release its second full-length Japanese album, “ASH TO LIGHT“, on September 17.
