Here Are 20+ Senior and Rookie K-Pop Artists Alike Praising ATEEZ
With just under a year and a half since their debut, ATEEZ is still very much a rookie group. However, due to their incredible skills, high intensity, and amazing on-stage charisma, they’ve made tons of fans very quickly – and idols aren’t immune to their charms! Here are 20+ different idols and idol groups that have spoken their praise about ATEEZ.
1. Eric Nam
Eric has said that he feels like ATEEZ really stands out among other rookie groups, and has praised their skills.
If you’re competing against so many groups, you really have to stand out. Be it visually, be it sonically, be it performance-wise, be it personality-wise. It doesn’t matter, but you have to stand out and this is why I’m saying I think ATEEZ has a very bright future ahead. I was on Youtube, I ran into ATEEZ and I was like, ‘Oh! This is different! There is something different about this group. I can’t put my finger on it but they are not doing what everybody else is doing. And that is what I think will set ATEEZ apart.
— Eric Nam
2. LE (EXID)
The past EXID member has chosen ATEEZ as her favorite rookie group, and said they were very talented after watching their performance!

4. Daehyun (B.A.P.)
Daehyun has said that ATEEZ actually reminds him somewhat of B.A.P., and that they caught his attention because they’re so cool.
If u like Ateez, I bet you’ll like BAP. Even Daehyun of BAP said ATEEZ reminds him of BAP. Of course, both groups are unique. But both groups are versatile & have a very strong, distinct sound. I’ve seen BAP live & they have the strongest stage presence & charisma I’ve ever seen.

10. BM (KARD)
BM says he’s watched ATEEZ’s videos a lot, and has even named rapper Mingi as his bias.
Say my name, say my name… I like rappers with low tone. Mingi is his name. I don’t know him personally. I’ve never met them before. I’ve seen their videos many times and listen to their music a lot. I like his voice a lot, I like him. I like all of them, though. There is no member who doesn’t have… Every one of them really stands out. Every one of them have their own charms.

18. Kookheon and Yuvin (B.O.Y.)
Both of these members have said that they fell in love with ATEEZ’s performance abilities.
19. Jinghyu (Aweek)
Another rookie that looks up to Hongjoong, Jinghyu is a huge ATINY himself.
Along with all of these outspoken idols, reporter Yoo Jihoon also once spoke about how idols flock to watch ATEEZ’s performances during music shows.
What is interesting about them recently is that when ATEEZ performs at music shows — there’s a monitor in the middle of the waiting room, right? When ATEEZ performs, other idols come out and go to watch their performance. They all gather together. It shows how even among other idols, they think highly and looked up to ATEEZ’s level of stage completion.
— Yoo Jihoon
It turns out that not just regular people can love and appreciate what amazing performers ATEEZ members are!
