ATEEZ is set to take over the stage as the headliner for Grand Mint Festival 2024, bringing their energy to Seoul’s Olympic Park on November 3. After wowing fans overseas, the group is ready to make an unforgettable impact on the domestic scene.

On September 30, ATEEZ released a choreography practice video on the Grand Mint Festival’s official YouTube channel, showing the group’s intense preparation.

For around 70 minutes on the Mint Breeze Stage, ATEEZ will perform a set filled with precise and perfectly synchronized moves, highlighting their dedication to delivering a flawless show.

To keep fans excited, ATEEZ also went live from their rehearsal room, giving a quick sneak peek at their band sound. During the broadcast, the group shared, “We’ve teased some of the setlist, so we wanted to give fans even more through this live session. We hope to see many of you at the festival! Even if it’s cold, our performance will keep things hot.”

This year, ATEEZ has gained major attention worldwide. They became the first K-pop boy group to perform at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the U.S., impressing fans with a live band setup.

Their reputation as “top performers” continued to grow after appearing at major festivals like MAWAZINE in Morocco and SUMMER SONIC 2024 in Japan.

With only a few days left until Grand Mint Festival 2024, fans are eager to see ATEEZ’s powerful stage presence on November 3.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
