ATEEZ wraps up its Japan tour, reaffirming its status as a global top performer, while receiving the Prime Minister’s Commendation at the 2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards.

ATEEZ closed the chapter on its 2025 Japan tour IN YOUR FANTASY with a performance at Glion Arena Kobe in Kobe on the 23rd. During its sixth world tour, In Your Fantasy, the group began in July at the Incheon Inspire Arena and wrapped North American stops in 12 cities by late August, before travelling to Japan to perform in Saitama, Nagoya, and Kobe to meet local fans. Notably, the Kobe show, which crowned the tour in Japan, sold out in full as soon as tickets went on sale, and standing and obstructed-view seats were opened due to enthusiastic local fans.

Following the Nagoya performance, the group released its Japanese second studio album ‘Ashes to Light’, including the title track ‘Ash’. On the 23rd, the final Kobe performance also earned ATEEZ the Prime Minister’s Commendation at the 2025 Korea Popular Culture and Arts Awards. The award recognizes the achievements and contributions of public culture and arts professionals, including singers, actors, and broadcasters, and aims to elevate the social standing and creative drive of those in the cultural industries.
