Plans for a new KQ Entertainment boy band began after a staff member discovered a letter and sample mixtape from Kim Hongjoong, who would eventually become Ateez's leader, expressing interest in becoming a trainee at the company due to his admiration of Block B, a group also managed by KQ Entertainment.[15] Hongjoong became the company's first official trainee and would remain the only one until Yunho joined six months later.[16][17] Over the next year, members Mingi, San, Seonghwa, Yeosang, Jongho, and Wooyoung joined KQ Entertainment as trainees.

Artistry

[edit]

Musical style and lyrical themes

[edit]

According to Rolling Stone India, Ateez blends hip-hop, trap, dubstep, and pop to craft their signature sound. From Middle Eastern flavors, traces of indie pop, tropical house, synthwave, and trap-infused slow jams they have created a strong singular identity without sacrificing creativity and variety. Their B-side tracks explore and present several sides of the group. The group makes sure to be deeply involved in the songwriting, production, and conceptualization of each album. Most of their lyrics are motivational and revolve around teamwork, success, togetherness, and confidence. Their lead singles tend to be anthemic and incite a sense of euphoria in their audiences.[217]

According to Forbes, Ateez’s multifaceted artistry is reflected in their style and youth-focused messaging. Their lyrics delve into the growth and decision-making process that humans experience during adolescence.[218] Earmilk describes the group's discography as a powerful combination of hip-hop and electronic trap. And that it is dark-tinged and of bold musicality.[219] USA Today describes the group's music as having a "varied nature", which highlights their versatility and adaptability.[220]

ATEEZ has always taken on new challenges in terms of sounds and genres throughout the various albums we’ve released until now. Honestly, I think we’ve enjoyed challenging ourselves to try new things because there’s no need to confine ourselves to a specific genre if the music can highlight and bring together the strengths of the individual members. While we’ve had songs where we focused on a more cinematic and dramatic style to follow a storyline, we also understand the joy of the entertainment that can be found in the music itself. This track brings this to the forefront, even bolder in sound and creative in the blending of each member’s unique abilities. I’m excited for us to be able to continue to showcase ATEEZ’s distinct identity within a framework we create for ourselves through various musical challenges and performances.

Stage performances and concepts

[edit]

Rolling Stone India observed that Ateez created intrigue with their polished dance moves and compelling facial expressions. Unlike most groups that rely on a specific 'concept' formula for their debut, Ateez focuses on their execution on stage. They exude confidence, have phenomenal stage presence, has developed a hard-hitting signature sound, and fit together seamlessly as a team. Their work meets the K-pop industry’s standards of cinematic production and penchant for hidden narratives, but the symbolism lies in their movements.They move like clockwork, intricate details woven in seamlessly in every piece of choreography and their facial expressions are striking.[217]

Consequence described that the group tends to explore various genres but excels in explosive, theatrical performances. Their group concept incorporates pirate imagery. The "Ateez" style of music and dancing stands out from that of many of their peers in the industry. While precise choreography has typically been the industry standard, the members of the group aren’t afraid to let their individual strengths shine onstage.[222]

Billboard noted that the group was known for honing its intense choreography and showmanship during performances.[223] According to USA Today, Ateez are known for their powerful performances and concepts. They bring high energy with a flair of cool.[220]

The Clash Music report on Ateez' Towards the Light: Will to Power world tour in Washington D.C talks about the storyline that is woven into each project and performance which adds to the worldbuilding experience for the audience. The report notes that performing is their way of "rebelling" against the real-life industry that had little faith in them, and the fictitious oppressive government in their storyline. Anarchy and mutiny appeared to be the dominant themes in their narrative.[224] 1883 Magazine elaborates on the comprehensive concept where the group members exist as pirates in search of their treasure. They’ve created an expansive universe that explores themes of fixation, discovery, being outcasts, ambiguous morality, and obsession, all of which transcend language barriers to resonate with people worldwide.[221]

Other ventures

[edit]

Ambassadorship

On May 8, 2020, the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism named Ateez as its 2020 ambassador to help promote Korean culture and tourism abroad.[225] The group participated in the "Overcome Together" relay challenge to encourage safer practices to avoid COVID-19 and served as ambassador of the Talk Talk Korea Contest in 2020.[226][227][228]

On April 14, 2021, San was appointed as Public Relations Ambassador of Namhae, his hometown in South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.[229]

Philanthropy

[edit]

On August 31, 2020, it was announced that Ateez members Mingi and Yeosang would participate in Star Bookstore, a relay donation campaign in which celebrities read books to children in disadvantaged situations.[239] The audiobooks that each member recorded surpassed 10,000 views within one day of release, leading to a donation of ₩2 million from Happy Bean on behalf of the two members towards various welfare organisations in Korea.[240] On September 14, Ateez were announced as ambassadors for Polished Man, an initiative raising funds for trauma prevention and recovery programs for young survivors of violence.[241] Ateez member Hongjoong had raised awareness for the campaign since Ateez's debut by painting one of his nails,[242] leading fans to set up fundraising pages on Polished Man's website to raise hundreds of dollars in 2019 and early 2020 before Ateez officially partnered with the campaign.[243] As of July 2021, funds raised through the partnership with Polished Man have exceeded $30,000.[244]

On May 15, 2021, Ateez appeared on Identity 2021, a live stream fundraiser hosted by Amazon Music in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.[245] The campaign raised over $20,000 towards Pacific Bridge Arts Musical Scholarships and the Gold House AAPI Community Fund.[246]

In November 2022, in the wake of the Seoul Halloween crowd crush, Ateez donated ₩100 million to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, using profits from their concerts to support those affected by the accident.[247]

In March 2023, Ateez member San donated ₩5 million to his hometown Namhae through the Hometown Love Donation Program. The town expressed it hopes to use the profits for regional development projects and youth welfare projects.[248] Furthermore, San received Hanwoo beef sets valued at ₩1.5 million from the local government for his donation, which he instead chose to donate forward to 22 single-parent households in Namhae.[249]
