K-Pop’s Growing Presence at BST Hyde Park

ATEEZ comprises eight members—Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho—who debuted under KQ Entertainment in October 2018. The group sold out a world tour within four months of debut and released the EP *GOLDEN HOUR: Part.4* in early 2026, featuring the single “Adrenaline.” Their discography includes two Billboard 200 No. 1 albums, nine Billboard 200 entries (eight in the top 10), and the 2024 record of three different releases in the UK Official Albums Chart top 10.
