ATEEZ wasted no time making an impact with their latest release. On June 26 at 1 p.m. KST, the group dropped their mini album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5 and its title track "BAD," and both immediately climbed to the top of iTunes charts across multiple countries.

The strong chart performance comes just days before the group's scheduled appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on July 1, where they'll perform "BAD" live for American audiences. The late-night TV appearance was announced June 25, giving fans and viewers advance notice of the performance.

This comeback marks another chapter in ATEEZ's ongoing GOLDEN HOUR series, which has been a cornerstone of their recent releases. The group has maintained consistent momentum throughout the year, and the immediate iTunes success suggests the new material resonated quickly with their fanbase.

With "BAD" already proving its chart strength and a major U.S. television performance lined up, ATEEZ is positioning themselves for another solid promotional cycle. The group continues to balance international exposure—especially through American late-night appearances—with maintaining their presence on global streaming and sales charts.

ATEEZ fans can catch the full performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on July 1.
