On July 10, KQ Entertainment confirmed that all eight members of ATEEZ have renewed their contracts for another seven years. That means Seonghwa, Hongjoong, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho are sticking with the label that helped launch their global rise. The decision reflects the deep bond the group shares since their 2018 debut and marks their first contract renewal.
The group’s leader, Hongjoong, had hinted at the news last month, and fans are thrilled to see the official announcement. KQ stated that the renewal was agreed on mutual trust and promised full support for each member’s growth. Their goal is to help ATEEZ expand even more, allowing each member to showcase their unique talents and reach wider audiences across the world. The company called it a partnership built on respect and shared vision.
ATEEZ has been on fire lately. Their twelfth mini album, “Golden Hour: Part 3,” dropped on June 13, 2025, and features the hit single “Lemon Drop.” The track blends R&B with hip-hop and earned the group its first Billboard Hot 100 entry at number 69. The music video hit over 24 million views in just 10 days. With past wins on the Billboard 200 and a solid discography, ATEEZ is clearly just getting started. Their upcoming chapters will for sure come with bangers and hits!
