-What's your routine for ATEEZ that you've been on overseas tours?

▶ Yunho = When he moves to the city, he first looks for a Korean restaurant in the car.

▶ Min-ki = In short, it is one of the groups that knows the best about delicious Korean restaurants in the world. We identify Korea's status as the increasing number of Korean restaurants.

-When did you feel that you really grew while promoting overseas?

▶Yeosang = I didn't expect much because the city I went to recently is not a place I went to often. However, when I went to the scene, the fans' enthusiastic welcome was delivered, and I was surprised by the roar even before the stage began. Such a reaction is an exciting moment that you can't get used to even now.

▶Hong Joong = I also remember when I attended the '10th Anniversary AAA 2025' last year. We haven't attended many awards ceremonies compared to our annual leave, but there were more fans in the audience than I thought. I was worried because I couldn't tour Asia last time, but I felt grateful when I saw the fans' slogans and light sticks and cheered for the award. I thought, "We've become a group where a lot of fans sit."

-It's a little early, but what's the plan for joining the military.

▶Hong Joong = After the press conference for this album, fans are accepting this album as if it is the last activity before joining the military.(laughs) When called by the state, the duty of national defense must be fulfilled. However, the timing that the members are planning is not right now. Before that, I'm going to show you a lot of things that 8 ATEEZ members can show. Even after joining the army, the team plans to continue its activities without significantly changing its name and scope of activities. Even after being discharged from the military, we will continue to work in our own way with many seniors as role models. We are planning activities this year and next year to make ATEEZ well so that ATINY won't be disappointed.

▶Seonghwa = I think it's natural to join the military. I've been active for seven years without any regrets, and most importantly, I've renewed my contract, so I don't think it'll be a big problem after I'm discharged from the military. However, in the meantime, I think it's our responsibility to make the fans not disappointed.

-I've been working hard so far. Is there anything you want to say to me in the beginning of my debut?

▶ Yunho = I think we are now because we were there. Just do the best you can and work hard. I want to tell you that one day there will be good results'. The memory of the debut is the reason why the members don't lose their original intentions. It seems that the sense of accomplishment is also greater because there were difficulties.

▶San = Even for us at that time, people around us said a lot, "You'll be fine." I just want to keep an eye on you without saying anything. Even if we go back, we'll work just as hard as crazy. We are also curious about our ending, and if it's a boy cartoon, we don't want to teach the main character the ending. I want to tell you to go as you like.

▶Hong Joong = If our success had been guaranteed, we would not have been so desperate since we were trainees. Not only the company, but we love the moment because we have been on stage earnestly every time we know the reality well. I think the fans and the public love that point.

-I can say "ATEEZ succeeded" enough, but I think ATEEZ will have bigger dreams. Is there a dream stage that you haven't tried yet.

▶Jongho = The world of music seems to be endless. When I do music, there are many people who are better than me, so there are places that are higher even if you go to a certain position. I felt like I knew music, but when I opened it, there was an endless world. We are running for the world. I want to try more things and try more things to play ATEEZ's music to many people.

▶Hong Joong =I want to be on the stage at the Grammy Awards and the Super Bowl halftime show. When I was asked to write a dream in the early days of my debut, I tried to write "entering the Billboard Chart," but I hesitated, "Can I write it down?" However, it was also listed on the Billboard chart, and I am looking forward to being able to perform at the Grammy Awards or the Super Bowl halftime show in the near future.

I think I can tell you now, but you think we got paid a lot when we were on the Coachella stage. But I invested more than that in setting up the stage.

▶ Min Gi = Bad Bunny performed a performance in Spanish most of the time at the Super Bowl. I know this is the first time, but I hope there will be a stage that resonates in Korean someday. ▶San = I don't want to set our end and run, I want to be an artist who is looking forward to tomorrow more.
