K-pop group Ateez held a media conference in Seoul on Thursday to introduce its tenth EP, “Golden Hour: Part 1,” set for release on Friday.

Leader Hongjoong highlighted the significance of the new album, noting that it is the first installment of the “Golden Hour” series and the group’s first release of the year. Sunghwa explained that the six-track EP “captures the shining moment of Ateez” and represents the band’s journey toward realizing its dreams. San added that all the songs, including the main track “Work,” reflect the group's continuous effort toward an ever-growing goal.

Last year, the eight-member group concluded its “The World” series with the second LP, “The World EP Fin: Will,” which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 and remained on the chart for six consecutive weeks. The album also achieved a No. 2 ranking on the UK’s Official Albums Chart Top 100.
