ATEEZ, the global superstar group from Korea, is teaming up with Japan's BE:FIRST for their upcoming single 'Hush-Hush,' set to release on July 1st.

BE:FIRST, a seven-member group formed through the survival show 'THE FIRST' in 2021, gained attention in Japan even before their debut by topping various charts. Their live performance film 'BE:FIRST The Movie' was a hit in Japan and screened in CGV ScreenX theaters in Korea in October 2023.

Under the management of BMSG, founded by AAA's main rapper Sky-Hi, BE:FIRST continues to make waves in the Japanese music scene.

Teaser images released with the collaboration announcement feature ATEEZ and BE:FIRST in contrasting red and blue-themed fashion styles. The teaser video for 'Hush-Hush' poetically portrays ATEEZ and BE:FIRST as the moon and sun, symbolizing a total eclipse as they overlap.

ATEEZ recently achieved top rankings on Japan's Oricon charts with their mini-album 'Golden Hour: Part 1,' demonstrating their strong influence in Japan. They topped Billboard Japan's Top Album Sales and Hot Albums charts, showcasing their popularity across the country.

ATEEZ is scheduled to perform at NTV's 'BEAT AX Vol.4' at Makuhari Messe in Japan on June 29th and will appear on 'Show! Music Core in JAPAN' on June 30th, further solidifying their presence in the Japanese music scene.

The energetic and fun-loving special unit of SEVENTEEN, BSS (Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi), is ready to return with a bang! Their second single album, "TELEPARTY," will drop on January 8, and fans can’t wait.

At midnight KST on December 27, Pledis Entertainment shared the exciting teaser for BSS’s comeback through HYBE Labels' YouTube channel and SEVENTEEN’s social media. The trailer, titled "How is your youth?", instantly grabbed attention with its touching and inspiring vibe.

The trailer dives deep into the meaning of youth, opening with the question: "What is youth? Is it simply about being young?" It shows everyday moments from people of all ages and ends with the uplifting answer: "Youth is about enjoying the life you’re living at this very moment."

BSS takes on the role of "Youth Protectors," spreading joy and positivity across generations. In the teaser, they give tired students a break, take on extra work for stressed office workers, and even add some romance for two elderly individuals stuck in routine. Their efforts bring smiles, laughter, and a reminder to embrace life’s little moments.

Fans were also thrilled to see a familiar face in the trailer—actor Moon Sang Hoon, famous for his "Moon Saem" character from the YouTube channel Bba-Doners. His comedic interactions with BSS added even more charm and excitement.

The title of the album, "TELEPARTY," combines "Telepathy" and "Party," representing a celebration that connects everyone in the world. Through this concept, BSS sends the heartwarming message: "If you’re happy in this moment, you are living your youth."

Pledis Entertainment revealed that this album has been in the works since early this year and promises top-quality music. Fans can expect not just great songs but also a lot of energy and joy from this special unit.

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN has been keeping busy with their SEVENTEEN [RIGHT HERE] WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN, performing ten incredible shows in four domes. They’ll continue their stadium concerts in major cities across Asia in January and February, keeping their momentum strong.

Mark your calendars for January 8 and get ready to party with BSS!
