Angela L.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who attended <strong>ATEEZ<\/strong>\u2019s 2024 <strong>TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER<\/strong> tour stop in New York experienced the horrendous thunderstorm that caused an hours-long delay. Luckily, ATEEZ and their fans, ATINY, reunited at New York\u2019s Citi Field again on July 13 for their 2025 world tour, <strong>IN YOUR FANTASY<\/strong>. The eight ATEEZ members, <strong>HONGJOONG<\/strong>, <strong>SEONGHWA<\/strong>, <strong>YUNHO<\/strong>, <strong>YEOSANG<\/strong>, <strong>SAN<\/strong>, <strong>MINGI<\/strong>, <strong>WOOYOUNG<\/strong>, and <strong>JONGHO<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>put on a three-hour concert featuring fascinating performances, including newer songs from their GOLDEN HOUR era, which New York fans enjoyed live for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ATEEZ\u2019s hits set the stage for their grand entrance before an image of a closed red curtain on the screens opened, insinuating it was showtime. An introductory VCR displayed the members in mysterious rooms surrounded by symbolic objects that connected to different elements of their past in ATEEZ. A live band played a roaring opener as the screens rose, unveiling ATEEZ in black and silver-studded outfits. As fireworks shot sky-high, they invigorated concertgoers with a blazing performance of \u201c<strong>BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS)<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The lively crowd energy intensified with a fiery, steamy performance of \u201c<strong>Fireworks (I\u2019m The One)<\/strong>\u201d and a paso doble-inspired display of GOLDEN HOUR: Part. 1\u2019s \u201c<strong>Blind<\/strong>.\u201d After ATEEZ introduced themselves and their band, WOOYOUNG gave insight into the tour\u2019s inspiration, sharing that they wanted the setlist to satisfy all of ATINY\u2019s fantasies. Then, ATEEZ lit up the stage with \u201c<strong>Man on Fire<\/strong>.\u201d Red and black lighting flashed as they lined up behind a long table while conveying the resilient lyrics through vivid facial expressions and synchronized dancing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250713_ATEEZ_NY_AngelaL_024-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72437 lazyload\" data-  \/>Cr. Angela L.<\/p>\n<p>Each member expressed their individuality through unique solo performances, starting with YUNHO. Wearing an all-black suit to stand out against his dancers\u2019 all white ones, YUNHO brought precise moves to his groovy track, \u201c<strong>Slide to me<\/strong>.\u201d SEONGHWA switched the atmosphere, taking a sensual approach to his song, \u201c<strong>Skin<\/strong>.\u201d The group and their dancers returned with a passionate selection, \u201c<strong>WE KNOW<\/strong>,\u201d incorporating stairs into the choreography.<\/p>\n<p>YEOSANG took the spotlight next for \u201c<strong>Legacy<\/strong>,\u201d emerging on the extended platform in an all-black outfit with leather pants, gloves, and a top with feather detailing. He beautifully channeled the deep, conflicting emotions of \u201cLegacy\u201d through dance, taking concertgoers through an intense journey. A dramatic and suspenseful transition, YEOSANG strided to the main stage with smoke trailing behind him and the introduction of fan favorite \u201c<strong>Guerrilla<\/strong>\u201d playing. ATINY sang enthusiastically and shook the stadium with the iconic \u201cbreak the wall\u201d fan chant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After bringing the house down with \u201cGuerrilla,\u201d ATEEZ headed backstage while fans were entertained with another VCR. The symbolism of the opening VCR continued as more individual videos played, including SAN in a room with purple umbrellas, YEOSANG engulfed in orange balloons, MINGI surrounded by rows of red chairs, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>WOOYOUNG shocked the crowd during his solo, \u201c<strong>Sagittarius<\/strong>,\u201d emerging in an all-black look featuring an unzipped leather jacket. Not only did his revealing outfit have the crowd blaring, but his crisp dance moves and beautiful vocals enticed onlookers. The stage was illuminated with blue lights before stars and constellations lit up on the LED screens for the final verse, where WOOYOUNG rose high on a lifted platform. The live band quieted down as JONGHO opted to begin \u201c<strong>To be your light<\/strong>\u201d acapella, allowing the audience to take in his voice. Once the band commenced, a beautiful blue and pink sunset appeared behind him. While JONGHO sang his heart out, there was a minor technical issue with the screen to his right, but he never missed a beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dreamy images of blue clouds appeared as the other members reemerged for a heartfelt performance of \u201c<strong>Turbulence<\/strong>.\u201d Having switched out of the black and silver ensembles, ATEEZ went for more casual looks with a color palette of light blue, white, black, and tan. Set to slow jazz, each member swayed toward a camera miming sips from empty glasses, a clever lead-in for the cocktail-themed track \u201c<strong>Lemon Drop<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250713_ATEEZ_NY_AngelaL_018-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72431 lazyload\" data-  \/>Cr. Angela L.<\/p>\n<p>After HONGJOONG called his friends, the backup dancers, and encouraged the crowd to \u201cget a little tipsy together,\u201d ATEEZ kept spirits going with another song that references liquor, \u201c<strong>Shaboom<\/strong>.\u201d With a champagne tower on the center LED screen, ATEEZ and their dancers showcased a vibrant synchronized routine. In a moment that exhilarated the crowd more, MINGI was spun in the air by the dancers. Capping off a high-energy performance, ATEEZ partied with their band, who played impressive instrumental solos.<\/p>\n<p>Joined by dancers, SAN gave a sultry performance of \u201c<strong>Creep<\/strong>.\u201d The electric guitar complemented SAN\u2019s smooth vocals as he captivated everyone with his dance moves and intense facial expressions. Revealed in all-white outfits, ATEEZ appeared onstage trapped in cages that looked like jail cells. Their dancers moved the cells in various formations as the members sang \u201c<strong>Outlaw<\/strong>,\u201d allowing ATEEZ to move back and forth into each other\u2019s cells. Halfway through, they escaped the cells to finish with eye-catching choreography. The concert turned into a rave with HONGJOONG\u2019s \u201c<strong>NO1<\/strong>.\u201d The crowd jumped and raised their lightsticks, LIGHTINYs, high while HONGJOONG played beats behind a DJ booth and ran around the stage energetically.<\/p>\n<p>ATEEZ had to think on their feet to solve an unexpected turn of events. Every member, except MINGI, who was preparing for his solo, walked onstage and noticed their microphones were not working. HONGJOONG tried communicating the issue using hand signals, prompting SAN to rush backstage and grab an iPad. HONGJOONG wrote messages down for ATINY, including \u201c5 minutes pls\u201d and \u201cCause ATINY killed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once the technical issue was resolved, the members introduced MINGI. Giving a two-in-one solo, MINGI revved up the crowd with \u201c<strong>AUTOBAHN<\/strong>\u201d and \u201c<strong>ROAR<\/strong>.\u201d He appeared on a lift for his first song and led a barking chant during the latter, which fans enthusiastically followed along with before he rapped vigorously. His fellow members came back out to reflect on the remaining solos and unplanned intermission, with HONGJOONG claiming the sound system stopped because \u201cATINY was insane.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, the group executed back-to-back performances of GOLDEN HOUR title tracks. Before commencing, YUNHO led each side of the stadium in belting the chorus of \u201c<strong>WORK<\/strong>\u201d from GOLDEN HOUR: Part. 1. Venturing onto their GOLDEN HOUR: Part. 2 title track, \u201c<strong>Ice On My Teeth<\/strong>,\u201d ATEEZ executed smooth choreography. Rounding off the trilogy, ATEEZ satisfied fans\u2019 fantasies with a spooky-themed performance of \u201c<strong>In Your Fantasy<\/strong>,\u201d GOLDEN HOUR: Part. 3\u2019s deluxe title track. Although the song was released days before the New York show, many fans enthusiastically sang along to every word.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/250713_ATEEZ_NY_AngelaL_022-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72435 lazyload\" data-  \/>Cr. Angela L.<\/p>\n<p>Another intermission featured a red curtain on screen with scrambled letters that gradually unveiled a secret message for ATINY: \u201cThe fantasy we shared still lingers on. Shall we begin the spell that makes us happy? Are you ready to feel it? All I need is your voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the members appeared on screen in a casual prerecorded tour bus video while singing \u201c<strong>Castle<\/strong>,\u201d with accompanying Korean and English lyrics for fans to sing along. Dressed in official tour shirts, ATEEZ energized the crowd with an invigorating medley of hits, including \u201c<strong>Say My Name<\/strong>,\u201d \u201c<strong>Crazy Form<\/strong>,\u201d and more. After taking some commemorative photos with fans, ATEEZ reflected on the concert and thanked everyone for attending. The sentimental nature continued with \u201c<strong>Now this house ain\u2019t a home<\/strong>\u201d before the energy lifted with \u201c<strong>Enough<\/strong>.\u201d Before what seemed like the finale, they gave more farewells preceding another epic fireworks show. Feigning their exit, they reappeared onstage for one final song, \u201c<strong>The Real<\/strong>.\u201d ATEEZ successfully completed a show that surely satisfied the fantasies of ATINY, with emotive performances, captivating dance routines, and touching moments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background has-large-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kpopconcerts.com\/k-pop-gallery\/gallery-ateez-2025-world-tour-in-your-fantasy-in-new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PHOTO GALLERY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cr.
