The situation
ATEEZ is set to return to "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on July 1 to perform their new title track "BAD", which drops on June 26 at 1 p.m. KST. This will be their second appearance on the show. The group's upcoming performance is likely to generate buzz among fans and new listeners alike.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo are generally unbothered, with some commenting on the group's growing international presence — "they're really pushing for that US market."
- The announcement comes just days before the release of "BAD", which is part of their new album "GOLDEN HOUR: Part 5".
- Some fans are speculating about potential future collaborations or appearances on US TV, citing ATEEZ's *눈치 (nuhn-chi, a sense of knowing when to act or make a move) in navigating the international market.
The open question
The exact details of ATEEZ's performance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" remain unclear, including whether they will participate in an interview or other segments beyond performing "BAD".
