Boy group could land second-week release following chart-topping ‘Golden Hour: Part. 5’<\/p>\n

Ateez is preparing to return with new music in November, about four and a half months after the release of its hit “Bad,” an industry source told The Korea Herald on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Ateez’s comeback is currently scheduled for the second week of November,” the source said on condition of anonymity. “Nov. 9 is currently being used as the comeback date for broadcast scheduling, rather than as the official release date, and the schedule could still change.”<\/p>\n

Based on the group’s recent release pattern, Nov. 13, the Friday of that week, appears to be a likely candidate for the actual release date. Ateez has released all five installments of its “Golden Hour” series on Fridays, timing that allows a full week of sales and streaming to count toward the US Billboard charts.<\/p>\n

The source did not provide further details about the format of the upcoming release.<\/p>\n

The return could see Ateez continue its “Golden Hour” series, which has spanned five releases over the past two years, typically as EPs containing five to six tracks.<\/p>\n

A sixth installment would also fit the cadence of the series. “Golden Hour: Part. 4” and “Golden Hour: Part. 5” arrived about four and a half months apart, roughly the same interval as the group’s planned November return.<\/p>\n

Asked on Wednesday about the November return, the group’s agency KQ Entertainment said it would share more details later that day.<\/p>\n

Ateez last released “Golden Hour: Part. 5,” led by “Bad,” in June. The EP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming the group’s third chart-topping album.<\/p>\n

The music video for “Bad” featured Hollywood actor Chase Infiniti, known for her role in “One Battle After Another.”<\/p>\n
