The news is finally official: ATEEZ is preparing its comeback with Golden Hour : Part.4, the group's 13th mini-album, scheduled for release on February 6, 2026 at 2 PM KST (6 AM in France).
This comeback marks the opening of 2026 for the group, and it's already shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-pop events of the season — especially after a successful 2025 for ATEEZ.
A sequel to the Golden Hour saga
The Golden Hour series began with Part.1, then continued through Part.3 in 2025, exploring a variety of emotions with bold sounds.
With "Part.4", ATEEZ concludes (or revives) this poetic chapter of their discography — in any case, the group emphasizes intense and assertive energy.
The Golden Hour series remains to this day a kind of artistic manifesto for ATEEZ, combining reverie and power, and this new stage promises to be rich in contrasts.
Release date and teaser
The official announcement came on January 12, 2026, with a first teaser video published on the group's social media at midnight KST.
The chosen date for the comeback is February 6, 2026, at 2 PM (Korean time) — a perfect timing to inaugurate the year for fans and upcoming shows.
What to expect from the mini-album?
According to the information already revealed:
- It will contain 5 tracks, with varied genres, from Trap R&B to more rhythmic tracks.
- The main track is titled “Adrenaline”, promising explosive energy and a tempo that reflects the name itself.
- Other tracks include intriguing titles such as Ghost, NASA, On the Road, and Choose.
Even though the album has not yet been released as you read this article, all indications suggest that ATEEZ is banking on a highly contrasting production, capable of satisfying the most varied fans.
Why this comeback is so anticipated
This new EP comes at a pivotal moment for ATEEZ:
- Their Golden Hour series has already built a strong narrative and aesthetic foundation.
- The group recently extended their contract with KQ Entertainment, a sign of a solid and stable collaboration.
- 2025 saw ATEEZ break new ground in world tours and charting data.
All of this creates additional pressure… but also huge excitement among ATINYs worldwide.
Teasers, concepts and promotional strategy
Since the comeback announcement, ATEEZ has already released several intriguing visual elements:
- Concept photos featuring dramatic and mysterious themes.
- Successive teasers around the song Adrenaline and the narrative concept.
Even though the album has not yet been officially released, these elements are enough to generate massive anticipation among fans, who analyze every image and color on social media.
And after the comeback?
Such a strategic comeback opens the door to:
- an extended world tour, potentially integrated into the Golden Hour Tour or a new series of dates,
- special events (pop-ups, showcases, meet & greets),
- exclusive merchandise around the album's visual concept.
ATEEZ has already shown that they are very good at connecting their releases with immersive experiences for fans, so we can expect bonus content and rich visual storytelling.
