ATEEZ is drawing acclaim from various international media outlets. This year, ATEEZ released their mini 10th album 'Golden Hour: Part 1' and mini 11th album 'Golden Hour: Part 2'. Both albums have received rave reviews from foreign press.
On the 11th, UK's NME released the '25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024'. ATEEZ's mini 10th album title track 'Walk' was ranked at 19th, the only 4th generation boy group to make the list.
NME stated, "Nothing is as memorable as the opening lyrics of 'Walk'. It captures the endless struggles that anyone can empathize with, making it one of the finest musical moments of the year." They added, "The clarinet melody forming the basis of the track accentuates the atmospheric verses and confident rap, showcasing confidence in ATEEZ's musical prowess and cleverly surpassing expectations for their unique color."
American magazine Teen Vogue chose 'Ice on My Teeth', the title track of the mini 11th album, in their '15 Best K-Pop Music Videos of 2024'. They praised, "ATEEZ has consistently shown throughout their career that they are not to be underestimated."
They also highlighted the music video, saying, "While we could talk more about the elegance of costumes, ballerinas, and the grand mansion set, it might be wise to simply watch the music video once more."
'Walk' climbed to 51st on Consequence's '200 Best Songs of 2024', marking the highest rank for a K-Pop artist. Billboard's '25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024: Staff Picks' placed 'Ice on My Teeth' at 3rd.
Meanwhile, ATEEZ will hold a media art exhibition 'Destiny's Memories' at the Urb Studio in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, from the 12th until the 19th of next month.
