Ateez surprised fans with a poster that showed its plans for an upcoming Seoul concert on Friday.
The poster is designed to look like a leaked document that details its first-ever performance of “New World” and that of much-anticipated “Sunrise.” The format is in line with its promotion for its most recent album “The World Ep. 1: Movement.” The group's third EP came out in July and entered Billboard 200 at No. 3, its career-high. It also became the band’s first million-selling album.
The Seoul concert, slated for Oct. 29-30, will be the beginning of the international tour "The Fellowship: Break The Wall." The eight members will then tour 10 cities -- from Oakland, US and Ontario, Canada to Chiba, Japan -- and perform 15 shows.
