Notably, The World EP. FIN: WILL will come six months after the release of their The World EP 2: OUTLAW album in June. For those unfamiliar, the first part of the trilogy started with the July 2022 release The World EP. 1: Movement.
As seen in the individual teasers, ATEEZ members also pose with a dark, rebellious theme. Which prompts fans to anticipate the concept of the upcoming album, as many are excited to see how the group will conclude the trilogy.

Meanwhile, the album and official music video for the title track will be out on December 1. Other details, such as the number of songs in the album, have yet to be announced.
As of writing, it remains unclear whether member Jongho will be participating in the activities for the upcoming album as he’s currently on hiatus. In August, KQ Entertainment announced that the idol has experienced “extreme pain” in his leg.
Five years with ATEEZ
The announcement about The World EP. FIN: WILL came shortly after the group marked their fifth debut anniversary.
In a special interview video, ATEEZ looked back around their idol journey.
“I hope we continue to grow and for 2024, we’ve been growing and getting better all this time. So I believe we’ll be at a higher place. Even when we’re up there, we won’t lose our focus,” member Yunho said.
Moreover, they also expressed their gratitude to their fans who continue to support them. “I felt that the love for us is truly extraordinary. I love ATINY just as much as I started,” Seonghwa shared.
Composed of Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho, ATEEZ debuted in October 2018 with the song “Pirate KIng.”
Currently, the group is embarking on their The Fellowship: Break the Wall world concert tour.
