ATEEZ is reportedly preparing to come back with new music in November 2026, approximately four and a half months after the release of their hit song “Bad,” which is part of the “GOLDEN HOUR: Part 5” series. An industry source shared the information with The Korea Herald on September 2, although the exact format and release date have not been announced. Meanwhile, November 13 is considered a possible date based on the group’s recent release calendar.
“ATEEZ’s comeback is currently scheduled for the second week of November. Nov. 9 is currently being used as the comeback date for broadcast scheduling, rather than as the official release date, and the schedule could still change,” the source said.
ATEEZ have released all five installments of their “Golden Hour” saga on Fridays, which allows a full week of sales and streaming to count toward the US Billboard charts. The group could potentially continue the series with a sixth installment, following up on their previous releases: “Golden Hour: Part. 4” and “Golden Hour: Part. 5.” These projects were released approximately four and a half months apart, matching the timeline of the reported November comeback.
The 8-member group last released “Golden Hour: Part. 5” in June 2026, with “Bad” serving as the main single. The EP debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, becoming ATEEZ’s third album to reach the summit of that chart. The music video for “Bad” also attracted attention for featuring Hollywood actress Chase Infiniti, who rose to popularity thanks to her prominent role in the Oscar-winning film “One Battle After Another.” When asked about the reported comeback, ATEEZ’s agency, KQ Entertainment, said it would share more details later. ATINY are now waiting for official information about the group’s next release.
