For the second day of 82WORLD: LA, hello82 did things a little differently. The entire day was dedicated to beloved K-pop group ATEEZ and their fandom, ATINY, with “ATEEZ x TINY Island.” The park became an immersive experience filled with interactive programming and themed zones.
It’s been a remarkable year for ATEEZ. The group kicked things off with their 13th mini-album, Golden Hour: Part.4, and followed it with Golden Hour: Part.5. The album spawned the viral hit “BAD” and earned ATEEZ their third No. 1 on the Billboard 200. To celebrate the group’s achievements, the “ATINY Zone” displayed their Billboard 200 plaques for THE WORLD EP.1: MOVEMENT, Spin Off: From the Witness, THE WORLD EP.2: OUTLAW, THE WORLD EP.FIN: WILL, and GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1. Nearby, a large display celebrated GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5, which debuted with 228,000 equivalent album units in the U.S.—the group’s best sales week to date.
Ethan Ko got fans warmed up with an ATEEZ DJ set. Dancer and creator Jonny Tran taught a workshop for the choreography to “BAD,” while content creator Skyler Lee hosted an interactive ATEEZ trivia game for fellow ATINY. ATEEZ members Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang then appeared at the PLAY82 Stage for the “BAD” Mega Dance Challenge, where selected winners got to dance alongside them.
At the hello82 Stage, San and Wooyoung joined hosts ANDY and JAS for an A-rcade segment, answering questions and taking on fun missions. Hongjoong and Jongho hosted “TINY Radio,” a live, radio-style segment where they answered fan questions. Jongho’s responses had everyone laughing, including Hongjoong. After each question, the pair recommended a song—from Adele’s “Someone Like You” to Pharrell Williams’ “Happy”—and Jongho sang a few lines, showing off his strong vocals. It was one of the night’s best segments.
Mingi wrapped up the programming with his Fix On Listening Party, joined by DJ Ethan Ko and producer-singer QUAIMO. The electric half-hour set included songs from Mingi’s FIX OFF Desire Project: ORIGIN, released earlier this year, ATEEZ remixes, and previously unperformed tracks, including “Where Are You” from the Korean drama Dive Into You soundtrack.
ATEEZ closed out the night with a high-energy headlining performance. Their discography is packed with catchy hooks and intense drops. The set opened with the powerful EDM and trap track “Say My Name,” followed by newer hits “NASA” and “Lemon Drop.” The group’s theatrical style blends hip-hop, EDM, rock, and Latin rhythms, keeping the energy high throughout the night.
Among the biggest crowd pleasers were the high-adrenaline songs and the ballads. The emotional rock ballad “Turbulence” and nostalgic R&B dance track “Choose” showcased the group’s powerful, dynamic vocals and harmonies. During the slower songs, the members waved to fans and shared the moment with them. Then came a run of adrenaline-fueled anthems that had everyone dancing: “BAD,” “WORK,” “Guerrilla,” and “BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS).” The set was explosive.
The group ended the night on a feel-good note with “From,” a heartfelt, sincere dedication to their fans and their eight-year journey together.
