ATEEZ have released their music in long, numbered series since day one. They debuted in 2018. This summer GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 gave them their third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, and Billboard says no group has more top 10 albums this decade. The next chapter, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.6, arrives on November 13, 2026.

If you’ve heard the name but don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. It covers the eight members, the four album series, the songs to try first and the official videos worth your time.

Who are ATEEZ?

ATEEZ (에이티즈) are an eight-member boy group from KQ Entertainment in Seoul. KQ’s profile gives their debut date as October 24, 2018. KQ Entertainment: ATEEZ profile

They debuted with the mini album TREASURE EP.1 : All To Zero and the song Pirate King. Its MV went up on KQ Entertainment’s YouTube channel the same day, in a performance version. That pirate idea gave their first series its name: TREASURE.

Meet the eight members

The group’s official Japanese site lists the members in this order, with their birth dates. SEONGHWA is the oldest and JONGHO the youngest. All eight are still in the group. ATEEZ Japan official site: profile

Each card opens a solo video from the official ATEEZ channel: covers, solo songs and a self-made project.

The official pages we used don’t list positions or roles, so we haven’t added them.

Four album series

ATEEZ name their albums as chapters. Their Japanese site’s discography shows four big series, with a few extras in between:

Our take: You don’t need to follow the story to enjoy the songs. Pick any series and play its MVs in order. Each one sounds like a different band trying on a new costume, and that’s half the fun.

The Billboard years

The Billboard 200 caught up with ATEEZ from 2022. Billboard says the group has three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL in 2023, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2 in 2024 and GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 in 2026. Their first top 10 came in 2022. Nine top 10 albums later, they are the group with the most top 10s in the 2020s. Billboard, July 5, 2026

Part.5 was also their biggest week: 228,000 equivalent album units in the United States, almost all of it from album sales. Its MV song is BAD, which already has more than 108 million views.
