Intro: With so many new Atinys coming in, I figured now would be a good time to shed some light on all the boys' creative solo projects over the years, big and small.
ANEWZ
Yunho once shared he wanted to be a news reporter/anchorman when he was younger which led to the inception of ANEWZ back in 2020:
youtube
That same year, he got to meet Jang Sung Kyu, an anchor he'd been looking up to, and interview him to get some tips and advice (yes, this was in the same video where Wooyoung sat so hard on Seonghwa's lap, Seonghwa looked like he was about to cry and that's why the view count is so high):
ANEWZ is by far the most consistent content we get from any of the members, with the most recent one being released on July 24th of this year:
youtube
We get Yunho talking to himself on the regular, interviewing other members, dropping the gossip about behind the scenes shenanigans and more. It's lovely.
Imitation Soundtrack
As a main cast member of the drama Imitation, Yunho was part of the fictional group Sparkling, together with Seonghwa and San, which means he also participated in various performances throughout the show, but let's highlight the most iconic one right here and now:
youtube
They made fun of Diamond for so long and still do sometimes ("FInalLY NOW, it's my tIME"). This performance is also where that dance move comes from Yunho is doing here (watch older content and you'll see Wooyoung doing that every five minutes - iconic):
Collabs
Around two years ago, Yunho, San, and Jongho were featured on a Pentatonix song called A Little Space which you can find here (it even includes a Korean verse!):
youtube
That same year, him and Hongjoong were featured in a Pepsi Commercial song together with Rain and members of Monsta X and Brave Girls (iconic):
youtube
On August 1st, 2024, Yunho was featured in an Eve Seo song called KkungKkungDda. The MV is very fun and goofy, featuring Yunho as the boy at school every girl wants:
youtube
Cover Song
The first cover he ever released on Ateez's channel came out 3 months ago, titled Even If It's Your Happiness:
youtube
Filmed on an old camera, the footage is grainy and in 3-by-4 format, giving it that nostalgic 90's feel. The song itself kicks off extremely pretty and cute, cozy and warm, perfectly fitting Yunho's voice and the self-shot footage which shows us the world through his eyes.
Then, reaching the halfway mark, the song explodes, drums kicking in, and we get to hear his powerful register, allowing him to really show off as a vocalist. It's really beautiful.
Fashion
Like Hongjoong and San, Yunho has now also made his debut in the fashion world. In his case, by attending Seoul Fashion Week, as can be seen on his Instagram:

MOST MEMORABLE OR FAVORITE EVENT: Debuting with Crystallis is Astrid’s most memorable, as well as her favorite event because it’s validation that all she had given up for this dream was worth it. She had been through a lot to get to where she is now, and unlike debuting with LGC Girls, Crystallis feels more permanent, which is a lot more reassuring, considering her age. Although Future Dreams S2 is in close second, because that’s where it really all began for her.
currently consisting of 11 members (they used to be 12 members, but Hwall sadly departed from the group in October 2019 due to his ongoing ankle injury)
signed under Cre.ker Entertainment
their official fanclub name is “THEB” (aka deobi)
no official colors yet (we’re waiting, Cre.ker)
they have an official YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and vlive

... now onto the members!
➥ hyung line: Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae
▸ Lee Sangyeon - leader, main vocalist
born on November 4, 1996 (a Scorpio and the oldest member of tbz)
(not your typical) leader - he’s not really “the dad”, but truly more of an older brother to the others
often teases and pranks the other members and is one of the funniest members according to their “Who’s Who” video (see: video recs)
writes own songs - super talented and dedicated, a really hard worker
has a beautiful deep, soul filled voice (we’d LOVE to hear more of it @cre.ker) - check out his performance on King of Masked Singer
according to Eric, he’s the member with the best body - really likes to work out and is stacked™
he really, really loves mangos
says he’s not cute but is obviously very wrong about that
has a super cute smile and adorable laugh
looked too beautiful with pink hair (deobi will never recover)
super bad at literally any game - always, ALWAYS loses when it comes to rock-paper-scissors (would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad)
some fun facts: his mbti is ESFP-T (he doesn’t believe in those kind of tests though), he’s good at impersonating others (especially Eric), he has an older sister (who has two sons, Sangyeon is a super cute uncle to them which he recently showed in his BOYLOG - WARNING: extreme cuteness!)
▸ Jacob Bae - lead vocalist
born on May 30, 1997 (a Gemini, but he very rarely shows it)
his Korean name is Bae Joon Young
kinda the mom of the group, but his official title is the angel™ (he literally never gets angry, he doesn’t even curse! how does he do that even his older brother says they never fought while growing up)
is from Toronto and therefore ½ of Canadian and ⅓ of English line - so he’s obviously fluent in English!
really improved his dancing skills over the years and it shows (unofficial member of dance line, fight me cre.ker)
beautiful soft vocals, amazing high notes (see their Mirotic cover)
plays the guitar and composes/writes his own songs
an MC for Simply K-Pop together with Kevin
½ of the superior “MoonBae” ship (aka married to Kevin - they’re super cute together, truly just two halves of the same idiot)
used to play volleyball and basketball and is really good at both, has apparently been working out a lot recently (rip his stans)
some fun facts: his mbti is INFP-T, his family adopted a new dog and named him after him/gave him the nickname “Cobi” ("your family replaced you... with a canine” - Kevin Moon, 2020), has an older brother, is left-handed, used to be the biggest fan of cereal (literally stocked boxes of it inside his room)
▸ Kim Younghoon - vocalist, visual
born on August 8, 1997 (but the most untypical Leo ever - only shows he’s a Leo like, once a year)
tallest member and ⅓ of the so called “Bermuda line” (aka the visuals™)
an under appreciated vocalist - his performance on King of Masked Singer more than showed how amazing his voice actually is (LET HIM SING CRE.KER)
has a “cool/cold look” at first, but is actually the softest, shyest, most precious squish on this planet (and has super soft puppy eyes)
kinda bad at life - needs to be protected because he’s just so clumsy, pouts when he’s about to cry (me, immediately: *cries with him*)
sometimes just randomly zones out and dissociates for a bit
fell down the stairs and injured his collarbone (I TOLD YOU HE NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED) before their Europe Tour and the Reveal promotions and therefore didn’t participate in the choreography
loves loves loves LOVES dogs so much and (his family) has a poodle (we stan Bori in this household)
the softest™ when trying to speak English (I‘m not crying, I‘m just really allergic to his extreme cuteness)
was a model for the Seoul Fashion Week in 2017 (together with Juyeon)
some fun facts: his mbti is INFP-J (there are four (4) introverts in tbz and they all share the exact same mbti), has an older brother, appeared in I.O.I’s Whatta Man music video, was recently cast as the second lead for the drama Love Revolution (his first ever acting role! the world should look out for actor!Hoon), is a BTS fanboy (his bias is Taehyung/V)
▸ Lee Jaehyun (aka “Hyunjae”) - lead vocalist, lead dancer, visual
born on September 17, 1997 (a Virgo)
also one of the tall members and another third of the “Bermuda Line”
an amazing dancer and a great vocalist (had like, 98% of the lines in No Air, so he’s pretty much an undercover main vocal)
an allrounder
seems quiet and chill at first. DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!
he is: l o u d . a bit annoying but also very cute without trying (actually really dislikes doing aegyo). hear someone loud in the background (especially laughing)? yep. that’s him! you found him, congrats.
also very caring and soft, takes great care of the younger members (when he’s not behaving like one of the younger members himself, that is)
also nags them a lot though (at least according to Eric)
the biggest Iron Man fanboy (like, legit wrote a fan letter to Iron Man when he visited the Marvel studios in NYC he’s just so cute)
l o v e s, no, ADORES kids and dogs
also really loves fried chicken
the biggest IU fanboy! very recently covered her song When Love Passes By for their A to BOYZ cover series
MWOHASEYO (don’t ask, just watch)
some fun facts: his mbti is ENFJ-A, he has an older sister, he’s really close with Pentagon’s Kino (they had some very cute interactions during Road to Kingdom), he can spin literally any object (a very weird, random talent tbh), has very skinny legs (so... literally a skinny legend)

▸ Lee Juyeon - main dancer, vocalist
born on January 15, 1998 (a Capricorn)
the last third of the tall and “Bermuda line”
an amazing dancer - he trained very hard to be where he is now (went viral as “the bucket hat guy” from their Bad Guy dance practice with the 1MILLION dance studio)
has a very soft, beautiful voice needs more lines
has very sharp features and beautiful eyes - his personality is very different from his cold looks though, he’s actually very soft, caring and thoughtful
he’s very gullible and innocent (also needs to be protected), therefore often the victim of jokes - most people think he’s a bit dumb thanks to that, but he’s really not: he likes to read, watches a lot of documentaries, and is just more on the quiet side in general, he likes to think before he speaks (unlike Hyunjae for example, no shade)
also very clumsy (never leave him and Younghoon alone together, please)
booked and busy! had like, a trillion photo shoots just this year, and was also a model for the Seoul Fashion Week 2017
very bad at taking selfies but he tries and we love him nevertheless
can speak Japanese and English, is also a really good cook
an MC for The Show (aka the “JuShow”)
some fun facts: his mbti is ENTP-T, is very flexible (especially for his height), he likes to work out, has a younger brother, was on the show Law of the Jungle (he really likes nature), biggest U-Know (TVXQ) fanboy (legit cried when he met him), likes to play basketball, has gigantic hands (20.5cm a bit excessive but okay)

born on February 23, 1998 (a soft Pisces boy™)
his Korean name is Moon Hyung Seo
the other half of Canadian line aka MoonBae (therefore, married to Jacob)
is from Vancouver and fluent in English (⅓ of English line)
yes, he’s the living meme you probably know from all the “funny kpop videos” compilations, quotes vines on a daily basis
SO much more than just the meme-ber though, he’s extremely talented - BIG BRAIN ENERGY, his creativity legit knows NO LIMITS
has amazing drawing skills (that he often shares with deobi on Twitter) - actually designed the group’s logo tbz use for their official Twitter account
can play the piano and guitar (he’s truly just so talented and amazing - STAN KEVIN MOON Y’ALL)
HAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES EVER AND WE’D ALL REALLY LOVE TO HEAR MORE OF IT ONE DAY, CRE.KER
can cook really well
also writes his own lyrics/songs
an MC for Simply K-Pop together with Jacob
undercover visual (have you seen his cheekbones?! almost made me cry with his beauty when he had long wavy hair)
“I have no lips” - Kevin Moon, 2020
some fun facts: his mbti is INFP-T, has an older sister, his parents named him after watching “Home Alone” (iconic behavior right there), has a kinda embarrassing past (some of the pictures and videos… uh well, let’s just say he was born a meme legend), he participated in the show K-Pop Star before becoming a trainee
▸ Choi Chanhee (aka “New”) - main vocalist
born on April 26, 1998 (a Taurus)
literally the prettiest human alive
legit looks like an angel (how is he not an official visual?!), but is a savage (and extremely funny, lowkey judges his members 24/7)
a bit of a drama queen but he’s so cute it’s okay
amazing vocal skills, does most of the ad-libs
looks too cute in a beret, that should be illegal
gets bullied by the other members, which is kinda fair but also a bit (too) much sometimes (#letChanheelive2020)
is a math genius, can calculate extremely big numbers inside his head and FASTER THAN AN ACTUAL CALCULATOR (this is SORCERY)
½ of the other iconic duo beside MoonBae aka “NyuKyu” (together with Changmin aka “Q”) - you heard of dumb and dumber, now get ready for New and Q!
takes the best selfies, holds the official title of Selfie King (according to the others, he takes the most selfies - according to himself, he doesn’t even take that many but just takes them in a very obvious way, so the others always notice him doing so)
almost breaks his neck taking selfies
used to have a lot of half-time jobs before becoming a trainee
one of the members in charge of cooking (idk why, he managed to melt a spoon once)
doesn’t know how to swim (because - and I quote - ”he’s a CEO’s son”)
puts MILK FIRST, AND THEN CEREAL it’s over, he’s cancelled
some fun facts: his mbti is INFP-T, he really hates tomatoes, he has a tattoo (a cross on his left pinky), has an older brother, lowkey looks like a Volturi, dropped Younghoon’s new sunglasses TWICE which Hoon will never let him forget, he once accidentally ate a plastic fork (don’t ask)
▸ Ji Changmin (aka “Q”) - main dancer, vocalist

can impersonate a giraffe and a pigeon
½ of NyuKyu aka dumb and dumber (WE LOVE BFFS) - they have some very iconic (cooking) vlives together
he’s very - and I say this with all my love - weird
or, to say it more diplomatically, “unusual”: LOVES horror movies and has had Annabelle as his iPad background for the longest time now (according to himself, they apparently recently broke up though rip our favorite otp), says his favorite beverage at Starbucks are the napkins (???????), literally BEGGED Kevin to let him buy a stuffed pigeon plushie when they visited New York, says the creepy nun from The Conjuring is cute (again: ?????? *whispers* is he okay)
dolphin screams™ (you’ve been warned, turn down your volume)
got lost in New York City together with Kevin (never let them take the metro ever again, at least not... unsupervised)

also one of the allrounders of the group (I SAID WHAT I SAID)
an AMAZING dancer! is really good at freestyling
taught himself how to b-boy
such a rich, amazing, stable voice (*bass boosted* more lines for Hak)

very loud, randomly bursts into songs all the time even sings when sneezing
just generally really, really sweet and nice

his family lives on Jeju Island and owns a pig farm - because of that (and because he eats a lot), one of his nicknames is “pig/piggie”
has a blindingly bright smile and is such an underrated visual
yes, you can probably drown in his beautiful, deep chocolate eyes

used to drink a lot of juice to keep himself healthy
is really good at soccer and used to play when he was younger

an amazing rapper (deserves more lines!)
hyper 24/7 watching him makes me tired, where does he get all that energy from

looks a bit like a cat

One happy result of the increasing diversification of fashion? You’re likely to catch a glimpse of one of the members of K-Pop supergroup Blackpink sitting front row during Fashion Week. If their high-energy performances can be described as “maximal”, with their outfits neatly co-ordinated, Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo and Lisa use the front rows of fashion’s most illustrious brand presentations to debut more laidback looks.
That’s not to say they don’t make an effort. You’ll find the girls wearing top-to-toe Chanel, Celine or Prada with a smattering of covetable accessories and an immaculately coiffed hairstyle. Each has their favourite house: Jennie regularly attends Chanel shows, and Lisa loves to see Hedi Slimane’s Celine collections during Paris Fashion Week, having dropped by at Prada in Milan last season, too.
And, since the July couture shows have gone digital, with the September presentations still showing a “TBC” status in the wake of the pandemic, it might be a while yet before you catch them front row again. In the meantime, take a look at how Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo and Lisa are helping transform fashion — one chic outfit at a time.
Jennie at Chanel SS19
Jennie attended the Chanel show at Paris’s Grand Palais wearing a classic pale blue tweed suit by the house. The look paired perfectly with Karl Lagerfeld’s scenic beach set and was completed with a matching Chanel handbag and a selection of mixed-metal Coco Crush rings.
Jennie at Chanel AW19
Just a few weeks following the passing of Karl Lagerfeld, Jennie paid her respects to the designer at the autumn/winter 2019 show, wearing a simple chain-trim Chanel shift dress complete with a logo belt and chic black pumps.
We loved this relaxed outfit that Jennie chose for her next visit to a Chanel show in October 2019. The slouchy cardigan and baggy jeans were pure comfort, while the sweet bow top and Chanel accessories played to her signature feminine style.
Lisa made the journey from her home in Seoul to attend the Michael Kors Collection spring/summer 2019 collection at New York Fashion Week. She chose a polka-dot dress and clashing floral print bag from the designer’s previous season.
It isn’t very often that we see the Blackpink members step out together at fashion shows, but Rosé and Jisoo made an exception for the Coach spring/summer 2019 fashion show. Together, they both embraced Stuart Vevers’ love of prairie-style dressing and took on NYC-glam with glossy blow dries.
In September 2019, Rosé turned heads when she arrived to sit front row at Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2020 show in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. Her look comprised a sequin-choked take on the classic Le Smoking jacket for which the house is famed.
Jisoo brought some Blackpink magic to London Fashion Week when she stepped out in a checked twin suit for Riccardo Tisci’s spring/summer 2020 presentation.
Lisa made her first appearance at a Celine show during the menswear collection presentations in June 2019, looking the part in an embellished jacket, jeans and over-the-knee boots, all by the French brand.
Lisa embraced Parisian style from top-to-toe once again when arriving at the Celine show during in September 2019. She wore a formfitting white top with an iridescent sparkling skirt and slouchy knee-high boots.
In arguably Blackpink’s most noteworthy front-row moment thus far, Lisa arrived at the Prada autumn/winter 2020 show in February wearing the standout look from the season prior – and made headlines in the process. After the show, she met with designer, Miuccia Prada, for a quick photo opportunity.
Rosé arrived at the Saint Laurent show in February 2020 to further cement her growing relationship with the Parisian house and its creative director Anthony Vaccarello. We love how she paired these knee-high brown boots with black accessories and another take on the classic Le Smoking.
It’s fashion time! It means all the hottest brands and designers in South Korea’s booming fashion industry are ready to showcase their 2020 F/W collections, bringing all the latest trends for the upcoming seasons and gathering an international audience of critics, buyers, bloggers and fashionistas in Dongdaemun-gu for the biannual event.
The Seoul Fashion Week will be held on the third week of March, starting on Tuesday and ending on Sunday at Dongdaemun Design Plaza. The fashion shows and special events will happen in different moments through the jam-packed week. While the shows are restricted to vip guests and press, several activities have been prepared within the perimeter for the general public to join including designer exhibitions, make-up testing booth (as seen here) and a surprise guerilla concert. Delicious food trucks will be open for people to savor as well. All fashion shows will be broadcast live on LED screens outside the exhibition hall, as well as streamed live on the event’s official website.
Many celebrities are expected to walk on the ramp leading up to the famous blue carpet, pose for photos and greet the fans before they enter the futuristic DDP. Whether you’re a street style fanatic or just came to see you favorite idol, this is a good opportunity to hang out with your friends and see different styles and people. There’s no better excuse to try new trends yourself – there’s always a chance to have your outfit captured by a photographer looking for the coolest styles outside the shows.
More details under the cut.
