ATEEZ’s first major collaboration song in the K-pop scene was with Kim Jong Kook, a well-known Korean singer, on the album “Season Songs” released in 2021. This collaboration included several songs, such as “Be My Lover” and remakes of Turbo’s “White Love” and “Black Cat Nero.” The album was a summer-themed project that brought together ATEEZ’s energetic style with Kim Jong Kook’s experience, creating a fun and lively musical experience.
The collaboration process was documented in a reality show, which provided fans with insights into how the artists worked together. This project was significant for ATEEZ as it marked one of their early collaborations with a veteran artist, showcasing their versatility and ability to blend different musical styles. The success of “Season Songs” highlighted ATEEZ’s growing influence in the K-pop scene, both domestically and internationally.
Since then, ATEEZ has continued to collaborate with other artists, including BE:FIRST from Japan, on songs like “Hush-Hush” and “Royal,” further expanding their musical reach and fan base across different cultures.
