ATEEZ received the Prime Minister’s Commendation at the “KOREA POPULAR CULTURE AND ARTS AWARDS 2025”.
On October 23, ATEEZ was awarded the Prime Minister’s Medal during the “KOREA POPULAR CULTURE AND ARTS AWARDS 2025” ceremony.
The “KOREA POPULAR CULTURE AND ARTS AWARDS” represent the highest government honor in the field of pop culture and the arts. The award recognizes singers, actors, comedians, voice actors, as well as writers, directors, and producers who have made outstanding contributions to the Korean cultural industry—encouraging creativity and enhancing social recognition for cultural artists.
Through its two albums “GOLDEN HOUR : PART 3” and “GOLDEN HOUR : PART 3 IN YOUR FANTASY EDITION”, ATEEZ topped global music charts, including the U.S. Billboard rankings, while carrying out a world tour that reaffirmed ist “world-class” influence. For these achievements, the group was honored with the Prime Minister’s Award.
Although they could not attend the ceremony in person due to their ongoing concert at the GLION Arena Kobe in Japan as part of their Japanese tour “IN YOUR FANTASY”, the members connected with fans through strong performances. Since its debut, ATEEZ has maintained consistent activities in Japan, and during this tour, they interacted actively with local fans in Japanese while performing songs like “ash” and several Japanese versions of their hits, showcasing their power as top-tier performers.
The award also coincided with a double celebration: their 7th debut anniversary on October 24. To thank their fans, ATEEZ’s members held several large-scale events, including the special cruise “Anchor, Encore” at the Yeouido River Terminal, the nationwide “A TO Z ON SCREEN” movie screening across 12 CGV theaters, and a light-up event at 8 p.m. KST at the Namsan Seoul Tower.
As part of the anniversary celebration, ATEEZ surprised fans by releasing “from (2018)” digitally for the first time. Originally included only on the CD version of their second mini-album “TREASURE EP.2 : ZERO TO ONE” (2019), the track is now available online as a gift to fans.
Looking ahead, ATEEZ will continue their “IN YOUR FANTASY” world tour across Asia and Oceania starting in January 2026, with concerts scheduled for January 24 in Taipei, January 31 in Jakarta, February 22 in Singapore, March 3 in Melbourne, March 6 in Sydney, March 14 in Manila, March 22 in Kuala Lumpur, March 28 in Macao, and April 4 in Bangkok.
