ATEEZ Leader Finds 'Enough' in New Solo Track

Kim Hongjoong, leader of the renowned K-pop group ATEEZ, has released a new solo collaboration titled 'ENOuGH' with artist Bazzi. This track signifies a departure from ATEEZ's characteristic sound, offering an atmospheric and emotional pop experience. Hongjoong collaborated with Bazzi after meeting him at a festival, finding inspiration in the artist's earlier work.

The song delves into themes of self-discovery and finding a sense of 'enoughness' in one's life, a concept Hongjoong explored during a period of reflection and personal vacation. Despite ATEEZ's recent success, including a third No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5, Hongjoong emphasizes that this solo project is about personal growth and gaining broader experience, which he believes will ultimately benefit ATEEZ.

Hongjoong's creative vision for 'ENOuGH' extends to its music video, which features a space travel concept, inspired by his admiration for David Bowie. This narrative visually represents his journey of exploration and the search for contentment, with each 'planet' symbolizing a different theme or experience.

The release of 'ENOuGH' aligns with ATEEZ's renewed focus on individuality, as all members recently re-signed their contracts for another seven years, allowing for personal projects. Hongjoong's work, including his role as music director for the indie film 'Hallucination' and his upcoming DJ set at EDC Korea, highlights his expanding artistic endeavors beyond the group.
