Ateez marks 8th anniversary with ‘Blue Drift’ photo book exhibition

Boy band Ateez will release a photo book and hold a commemorative exhibition to mark its eighth anniversary since its debut in October, its agency KQ Entertainment said Wednesday.

The 11-day exhibition will center on the photo book, titled “Blue Drift,” and feature unreleased photos from the shoot and multimedia displays. It will be organized around three chapters from the publication: “Drift,” “Flow” and “Dive.”

The exhibition will take place at N:News Museum in Jung District, central Seoul, starting Oct. 1. It is scheduled to close on Oct. 11. 

Ateez recently enjoyed career-high moments with its title track “Bad” from its 14th EP "Golden Hour: Part.5,” released on June 26. It has received seven weekly awards on music shows from major broadcasters, including MBC, SBS, KBS and Mnet.

Ateez debuted in October 2018 with the EP “Treasure EP.1: All to Zero.” The octet, comprising Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho, is known for hits such as “Wonderland” (2019), “Answer” (2020) and “Deja Vu” (2021).
