ATEEZ is continuing to dominate the global music scene with their growing popularity and musical talent.

On December 9, U.S. music media Consequence revealed its list of 200 Best Songs of 2024, and ATEEZ's title track "WORK" from their mini-album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1, released on May 31, earned an impressive 51st place.

This achievement is especially noteworthy as it marks the highest ranking among all K-pop artists, solidifying ATEEZ’s powerful influence in the music world.

Consequence praised "WORK" for its infectious energy, saying, "The infectious energy that ATEEZ injects into their music is comparable to the scale of their live performances, and this single provided a space where their unique dynamics could truly shine."

In addition, "WORK" was previously featured in Consequence's 100 Best Songs of 2024 (So Far) list back in June, where the publication remarked, "It seems ATEEZ has delivered more than what was expected from the call to showcase the fun of K-pop."

Moreover, ATEEZ's title track "Ice On My Teeth" from their mini-album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2 earned another impressive recognition.

On December 6, Billboard named it the 3rd best song in their The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2024: Staff Picks list, marking the highest ranking for any male artist this year.

As if that wasn’t enough, ATEEZ will be opening a media art exhibition called Destiny’s Memories at AUBE Studio, starting December 12. The group’s achievements continue to shine, proving that ATEEZ’s global rise is unstoppable.

On the December 11th episode of You Quiz on the Block, Rosé opened up about BLACKPINK's possible reunion in 2025 and how their solo activities are helping the group grow stronger.

During the episode, MC Yoo Jae Suk brought up the fact that the BLACKPINK members have been focusing on their solo projects lately and asked Rosé, "Do you miss the other members?"

Rosé reminisced about the release of BLACKPINK’s hit song "APT." and shared, "The day the song came out, I was so nervous when I woke up. I started getting messages from friends. I saw that Lisa had reached out, so I ended up video calling her for over an hour."

She continued, "While eating ramen, I told her, 'I’ve been getting a lot of messages, but I’m only talking to you. Once we finish this call, I have to start working.'"

Rosé also mentioned how she kept in touch with the other members, saying, "I could’ve called Jisoo, but instead, I texted her for an hour. When APT. was released, Jennie also sent me videos. We’re all working hard in different places, so I really miss them." She highlighted the strong bond and friendship the members share.

Later in the interview, Rosé hinted at BLACKPINK’s reunion in 2025, saying, "I think the synergy between us will grow even more. Everyone in music needs inspiration to grow, and I think this solo time for each of us is really important for BLACKPINK’s development." Fans are already looking forward to what’s next for the global supergroup!
