K-pop powerhouse ATEEZ has launched its 2025 world tour with a spectacular start in Incheon, South Korea, delivering two unforgettable nights that thrilled fans and showcased their evolution as global performers.
On July 5 and 6, ATEEZ opened their 2025 WORLD TOUR: IN YOUR FANTASY with back-to-back concerts at the Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon. The shows featured a completely revamped setlist and a new level of production, signaling a bold new chapter for the group.
Emerging through thunderous live band arrangements, ATEEZ captivated the crowd with performances of fan-favorite hits like “BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS),” “I’m The One,” “Guerrilla,” “WORK,” “Ice On My Teeth,” and “The Real.” They also stunned the audience with the concert debut of “Man on Fire” and their most recent title track “Lemon Drop” from their 12th mini-album.
One of the night’s biggest surprises came when ATEEZ performed the upcoming title track “In Your Fantasy” from GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’—days before its official release on July 11. “You’ll be able to see the full version at 1 p.m. on the 11th,” the group teased, sending fans into a frenzy.
Adding to the excitement, ATEEZ unveiled solo stages from each member, giving fans a glimpse of their individual artistic colors and talents. Hongjoong transformed into a DJ for his track “NO1,” energizing the arena with vibrant turntable work and razor-sharp rap. Seonghwa mesmerized with his provocative styling and sultry performance of “Skin,” while Yunho impressed with a smooth-yet-precise dance routine to “Slide to Me.”
Yeosang embraced a mystical aura with “Legacy,” exuding deep charisma. San delivered a powerful, sensual performance of “Creep,” commanding the stage with unmatched physicality. Mingi’s dynamic renditions of “AUTOBAHN” and “ROAR” brought raw intensity, blending booming vocals and fierce rapping.
Wooyoung showcased his restrained sensuality with the alluring choreography of “Sagittarius,” and Jongho closed the solo section with a breathtaking a cappella version of “To Be Your Light,” demonstrating his world-class vocal prowess.
Over the course of the nearly three-hour show, ATEEZ reaffirmed their status as top-tier performers. Their signature intensity, live vocals, bold stage presence, and sincere fan engagement offered a fully immersive experience for fans. From high-octane choreography to warm interactions, the concert was a well-rounded spectacle that lived up to the group’s global reputation.
At the end of the concert, ATEEZ expressed heartfelt gratitude to their official fanbase, ATINY. “Thank you for being with us. We want to be your strength and your joy. We feel that we’ve become more than just artists and fans—we share something beyond words. We’ll keep working to become artists you can be proud of,” they shared.
Having launched their global journey with a bang in Incheon, ATEEZ will now embark on the North American leg of their tour, performing in 12 cities including Atlanta, New York, Baltimore, Nashville, Orlando, Chicago, Tacoma, San Jose, Los Angeles, Glendale, Arlington, and Mexico City.
Notably, ATEEZ will be visiting four U.S. cities—Baltimore, Nashville, Orlando, and San Jose—for the first time. They’ll also be headlining stadium venues such as Citi Field in New York, Wrigley Field in Chicago, BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, Globe Life Field in Arlington, and Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.
Following North America, the tour will continue to Japan, with performances planned in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe, further extending ATEEZ’s ever-growing global reach.
