ATEEZ member Hongjoong is set to meet American singer-songwriter Bazzi.

On the 11th at midnight, agency KQ Entertainment released an image announcing Hongjoong's collaboration project 'ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)' via ATEEZ's official SNS and confirmed its release for 1 p.m. on the 18th.

In the released image, a metallic space and outfit stand out, drawing attention to the solitary figure. In particular, Hongjoong's face, captured in dynamic motion and rendered like an afterimage, creates a peculiar tension, sparking curiosity about the collaboration.

Previously, on the 10th, spoiler images hinting at this project were posted. Scenes showing a forest beyond a spaceship cockpit and silhouettes of two figures shrouded in fog were revealed in sequence, accompanied by the message: "The journey will be endless, eternal, and infinite. And still, I choose to begin," capturing global fans' attention.

Bazzi, known worldwide for hits like 'Mine' and 'Beautiful', is featured on 'ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)'. Expectations are high for the result of Bazzi, who has built his own unique sound across pop and R&B, joining forces with Hongjoong, ATEEZ's musical core. Bazzi reached No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 'Mine' and No. 14 on the Billboard 200 with his debut full album 'COSMIC'.

Hongjoong has demonstrated his production skills by participating in numerous tracks since ATEEZ's debut album. He has continuously expanded his musical spectrum through projects like 'BY. HONGJOONG', which reinterprets classic songs from his unique perspective, as well as self-composed works such as 'A Walker' and 'Why Do You Love', and solo track 'NO1'.

Additionally, he contributed a powerful rap performance as a featured artist on Chuuha's 2024 song 'EENIE MEENIE'. Last year, he collaborated with US artist Odetari on the new version of 'SMB' and with British singer-songwriter Bradley Simpson on the new version of 'Almost', continuing his steady collaborations with other artists.

As Hongjoong showcases his musical world in diverse ways beyond group activities, attention is focused on what colors and stories he will share in 'ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)' with Bazzi.

Meanwhile, Hongjoong's collaboration project 'ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)' will be released at 1 p.m. on the 18th via various online music platforms.
