ATEEZ has successfully finished their Japan tour. On the 23rd, they held their final performance at GLION ARENA KOBE in Kobe, marking the grand finale of their Japan tour "IN YOUR FANTASY." Through their 6th world tour, they started in July at Incheon Inspire Arena and finished performances in 12 North American cities by the end of August, then held shows in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe, meeting local fans. The Kobe performance, which concluded the Japan tour, recorded a complete sell-out at an overwhelming speed once ticket sales began. Due to enthusiastic requests from fans, additional tickets for standing and limited-view seats were sold, proving their explosive popularity in Japan. After the Nagoya performance, they released their 2nd full album in Japan, "Ashes to Light," for the first time in 6 years. On the release day, they conducted various activities in Japan, including a comeback showcase and radio appearances, achieving the remarkable feat of ranking first in both the Oricon daily and weekly album rankings. ATEEZ, who have steadily continued their activities in Japan since their debut, actively communicated with Japanese fans in fluent Japanese during this tour. They showcased a variety of stages that delighted fans, including performances of the title track "Ash" from their 2nd Japanese album and other songs in Japanese versions. Furthermore, on the 23rd, the day of their final Kobe performance, they received the Prime Minister's Award at the "2025 Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards." This award honors the efforts and achievements of individuals in the popular culture and arts sector, including singers, actors, comedians, voice actors, and more, enhancing their social presence and creative motivation. This year, ATEEZ proved their solid influence through their 12th mini-album "GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3" and "GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition'" ranking on Billboard and global charts while touring the world. Today (24th), on their 7th debut anniversary, they are interacting with fans through various events. They are delivering surprises to fans on a grand scale with events like the boat event "Anchor, Encore" at the Yeouido ferry terminal in Seoul, a special compilation performance broadcast "A TO Z on screen" in 12 CGV theaters nationwide, and a lighting event at Namsan Seoul Tower scheduled for 8 PM. The final event of their 7th anniversary, shrouded in mystery, was revealed to be the surprise release of the song "From (2018)." This song was included in ATEEZ's 2nd mini-album "TREASURE EP.2: Zero To One" released in 2019 and could only be heard on CD. "From" is a fan song that ATEEZ previewed during their trainee days as KQ Fellaz 2. On this special day of their 7th anniversary, they surprised fans with the heartfelt fan song, showing their deep affection. ATEEZ will continue their "IN YOUR FANTASY" Asia and Australia tour in Taipei on January 24, Jakarta on the 31st, Singapore on February 22, Melbourne on March 3, Sydney on the 6th, Manila on the 14th, Kuala Lumpur on the 22nd, Macau on the 28th, and Bangkok on April 4.
