The group ATEEZ marked the end of their world tour with a perfect finale.

ATEEZ completed their 2025 ATEEZ World Tour "TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER" finale in Seoul at the KSPO DOME (former gymnastics arena) in Olympic Park in Seoul over two days on the 22nd and 23rd.

ATEEZ wrapped up their tour in Seoul, which is the starting point of the tour, about 1 year and 2 months after embarking on the world tour last year. Through this finale concert, they announced their entry into the KSPO DOME, a "dream stage" for numerous artists, proving once again their stature as a "world-class artist" by achieving a rapid sell-out of all tickets on both days once the tickets were released.

Previously, ATEEZ held 13 performances in 10 cities in North America and 14 performances in 9 countries in Europe through their world tour "TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER". The Seoul concert, which marked the start of the tour, as well as the concerts in Japan, also recorded a rapid sell-out of all tickets over two days.

On the North American tour, they stepped onto the stage of their first stadium, BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, and performed for the first time as a K-pop boy group at the Globe Life Field, a large-scale stadium in Arlington that boasts a capacity of over 40,000. At Citi Field in New York, they became the first 4th generation K-pop artist and the second K-pop artist following BTS to perform there.

During the European tour, they entered the La Défense Arena in Paris, France, which is the largest venue in Europe that can accommodate about 40,000 spectators, becoming the first K-pop artist to do so. Through this world tour, they have proven their irreplaceable global popularity by marking a new milestone in K-pop history.

The world tour title "TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER" signifies that we all have our own light and encourages us to move towards that light without being shaken by the gaze of others.

The finale concert also emphasized this meaning by installing a tower of light at the center of the stage. Along with the overwhelming scale of the stage, they presented stunning lighting and special effects, a grand VCR like a movie, and ATEEZ's powerful live performance that dazzled the fans.

During the performance, ATEEZ opened with their global hit "Crazy Form," which topped the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S. They also presented numerous hit songs, including the title track "Guerrilla" from their mini album that earned them their first "million seller" title, the title track "Ice On My Teeth" from their mini album that achieved a second number one on the Billboard 200, and the title track "BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS)" from their mini album that made its debut on the Official Albums Chart in the U.K., igniting a global craze.

In addition, they showcased an upgraded setlist with songs that deliver messages of hope in darkness like "HALAZIA," expressing ATEEZ's endless efforts and challenges with "WORK," the striking chorus and performance of "THANXX," and the song "The Real" that flaunts Korean charm with a traditional Korean melody and hip-hop trap beats, captivating both the eyes and ears.

The solo and unit stages, where each member's personality and abilities could be fully felt, also caught the attention. Yeosang, San, and Wooyoung performed "IT's You," Yunho and Mingi performed "Youth," Jongho performed "Everything," and Hongjoong and Seonghwa crafted the stage for "MATZ," capturing fans' hearts with an entirely different, limitless charm from the group stage.

During a talk in the middle of the performance, ATEEZ offered a sweet fan service by presenting handwritten phrases on a sketchbook, showcasing different messages for each country. In this finale concert, they expressed their heartfelt message to fans saying, "ATINY is the light that illuminates the way. Thank you for being with us in every moment of life. We'll be that existence for ATINY too," moving the audience.

On the second day of the concert, the 23rd, a surprise birthday party for Yunho was also held. The members sang a birthday song loudly with the fans, and after cutting into a giant cake using the tower of light, Yunho made a wish and expressed his gratitude, creating a warm atmosphere.

Responding to the pouring encore requests, ATEEZ reappeared and used a moving vehicle to approach the audience, actively communicating with fans in every section. They created a stage where everyone could breathe and enjoy together with "Celebrate," "Dreamy Day," and "Enough," splendidly concluding the finale performance.

After successfully concluding the Seoul finale concert amid the enthusiastic cheers of global fans, ATEEZ shared their emotional thoughts, stating, "It feels great to have started the world tour in Seoul and to have been able to wrap it up healthily by returning to Seoul. I sincerely thank everyone who has been with me throughout this long tour and ATINY. As the size of the concert venues has gradually increased and I’ve seen more and more ATINYs coming, it has made me feel grateful and also desire to reach higher places. In the future, ATEEZ will always strive and climb step by step, so I hope you continue to send us your unwavering love as you have until now."
