TheFellowship:BreakTheWall
WallU.S.tour
The members of ATEEZ already completed one tour this year, but the K-pop group is set to embark on another world tour toward the end of 2022. On July 17, it was announced that ATEEZ will launch their THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL tour beginning in October. This will be the band’s second world tour in 2022. In January 2022, ATEEZ kicked off their rescheduled tour, THE FELLOWSHIP: BEGINNING OF THE END in Seoul. The band then traveled to the U.S., Europe, and Japan. ATEEZ’s Japan concerts took place earlier in July and concluded the tour. The tour will kick off in Seoul, South Korea with two shows on October 29 and 30, before heading to Anaheim, California the following week. The boyband will then go on to perform in several US cities, including Dallas, Chicago and Newark, as well as Toronto, Canada, followed by shows in Chiba, Japan. “I can’t believe they are actually coming to Canada I’m going to cry,” wrote a fan on Reddit.
“I really like how the tour dates are spread out – so many tours have insane schedules where the groups are either performing or traveling every day. This schedule, except for the quick turn-around between Anaheim and Phoenix, has some breathing space built in,” wrote a Reddit user.
“LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOO. Been manifesting! I do worry for the boys though. They’re so busy hope they’re looking after themselves well,” a fan wrote on Reddit.
On July 29, Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho will release an EP titled The World Ep. 1: Movement. The band first teased the album in April.
ATEEZ’s EP The World Ep. 1: Movement will have seven tracks, and the album’s lead single is titled “Guerrilla.”
KQ FELLAZ
KQFELLAZ: ATEEZPRE-DEBUTERA
Having solidified themselves as one of the quintessential fourth generation boy groups, ATEEZ is one of the few popular groups of the latest generation hailing from a smaller company KQ Entertainment houses Block B, and that is the reason for the formation of ATEEZ, interestingly enough. The eight finalized members promoted as KQ Fellaz during their pre-debut, with their first performance video releasing on May 18, 2018. The performance video “KQ Fellaz Performance Video I” showed the boys dancing to the song “Pick It Up” by Famous Dex, and currently sits at 15 million views. It’s still a popular performance for the group to this day.
For the creation of ATEEZ, you can thank one Kim Hongjoong. The future leader sent a letter and mixtape to KQ in 2016 expressing an interest in joining as a trainee. He became the first official trainee at the company, with Yunho joining him six months later. The rest of the members would join later, with a few coming from different companies.

JONGHO
The ManelyKpop team gathered together to see Ateez live after our concert got delayed for 2 years. for Ateez, their biggest strength is their boundless and infectious energy. Even on the slower songs everybody was standing up and having a blast, and on the fast songs the energy throughout the room was incredibly high. Speaking of their performance, I also want to praise the charisma of the members. In the speaking parts they all tried to do as much as reasonably possible in English in spite of the fact that most of the group aren’t confident in their English skills. This willingness to just try means a lot to fans, and really helps keep that charismatic connection that they display in the music. At least in our show, three members were really having a great time and were feeling themselves from start to finish: Hongjoong, Mingi, and San. These three were feeding off of the crowd’s energy, and then sending that right back and getting the audience more excited, and just seemed to put their heart and soul into every song. increasing anxiety, I was finally

And, to be clear, I’m not even discrediting the other 5 members, they were ridiculously good too, and I wouldn’t be surprised if different members own the stage at different stops along the tour.
So, this concert was something special. After years of waiting and going through Alternatively, just see Ateez whenevever you do manage to have a good time to do so, they will be around for a couple more years, so there is going to be more opportunitites in the future.

Ateez talks about what it is like to be in tour, meeting fans, their group dynamic and more.
The original title of this tour was supposed to be The Fellowship: Map the Treasure, why change it to The Beginning of the End?
Hongjoong: The Beginning of the End title seems like our situation where we’ve been waiting for this for a long time. In our concert, our opening song is “Wonderland.” The message of the song is similar, which is why we changed the title. That’s our big message with this world tour. The beginning of the end of a long wait.
What is it like to perform for big audiences live again? It’s been a while.
Yunho: We waited for so long to meet our fans, ATINY, on the road. And during the concerts, we really felt the energy of the fans and we were able to give our 100% to them.
Hongjoong: It’s really a different feeling. With an audience of 10,000 fans, it’s our first time to perform in front of so many ATINYs. It’s really something else. Though it’s not finished yet, but in the middle of the pandemic, we performed in front of just cameras. It’s different with energy, because in front of cameras we just performed what we planned. In front of fans, ATINYs, we just enjoy
the stages.
What are you most excited to show your global fans this time around?
Wooyoung: During these last two years, we’ve been able to have more fans that have never seen them in person and through this concert we want to show them who ATEEZ is. To see them through videos and to see them in person is another feeling, another experience that we want the fans to witness, and then get into what is ATEEZ even more.
Has your dynamic as a group changed over the years, too?
Hongjoong: And during the two years, we released lots of albums. We have many new songs and we have many new performances. So that’s the most exciting things to ATINYs.
And what about new listeners who aren’t necessarily ATINY yet? What do you want them to know about ATEEZ?
Yunho: We want to show other people watching our relationship with
our fans. How we connect with them, and how ATINYs are important to us. And by seeing that, they will understand and tune in.
How has your music changed over the years and grown?
San: We’ve tried more genres and showed different colors of ATEEZ. We also worked hard to show a different side of ATEEZ. We have many new songs and we have many new performances. So that’s the most exciting things to ATINYs.
Yeosang: Since we’ve been working together and living together, we’ve gotten way closer and understand each other, to know how to make compromises, and to work well as a team.
San: Like family.
