ATEEZ's "Drip" Is Out: Release Time, Music Video and What to Know Before GOLDEN HOUR: Part.6
ATEEZ released the pre-release single "Drip" with its music video on October 23 at 1 PM KST. It leads into the 15th mini album, GOLDEN HOUR: Part.6, due November 13 at 2 PM KST; the album's tracklist and title track have not been announced yet.
Drip Is Out: Release Time and Where to Watch
"Drip" arrived on October 23 at 1 p.m. KST, released by KQ Entertainment together with its music video. It is the pre-release single for GOLDEN HOUR: Part.6, ATEEZ's 15th mini album, and the full video is on KQ ENTERTAINMENT's official YouTube channel. The song pairs the group's vocals with a heavy trap rhythm.
The teaser, posted on October 21, set the tone: the members move through several spaces, backed by a large crew of dancers, in choreography that mixes hip grooves with sharp, precise movements. It also gave a first listen to part of the track. In the video itself, the group appears in black leather-style outfits against a pale, frosted backdrop.
The Comeback Rollout So Far
The comeback was announced at midnight KST on October 8 with the "CRASH TO BEGIN" teaser, and a promotion map followed on October 9. Concept photos came in three steps: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho and Yeosang on October 14, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho on October 15, and group photos on October 16.
A music video spoiler image appeared on October 19, the teaser on October 21, and the single and video on October 23. The album follows on November 13. Reading the dates in order, "Drip" works as an opening chapter: it arrives three weeks before the album, with the choreography and the visuals already on the table.
How to Join In: The Official Fan Chant Video
ATEEZ also posted an official fan chant video for "Drip" on its own YouTube channel, with the eight members holding their light sticks. If you plan to watch a stage or a livestream, it is the quickest way to learn when to join in before the album arrives.
The group's world tour, "ZERO TO ALL," starts in Incheon next January, so there will be live stages ahead where a chant guide matters. If you are building a K-pop trip around concerts in Korea, our K-pop December concerts guide explains the year-end stages and how tickets work.
After Part.5: Where ATEEZ Stands Now
The previous release, the 14th mini album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.5, came out in June and gave ATEEZ their third No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Its first-week sales in Korea topped 1.88 million copies, a record for the group, and its title track "BAD" kept winning music shows after promotions ended.
That is the context for Part.6: a group arriving with its biggest sales behind it and a pre-release single designed for scale. The album's own title track and tracklist have not been revealed, so treat "Drip" as the first piece of the Part.6 picture, not the whole of it.

Sori's Note
ATEEZ treats albums like chapters, and a pre-release single is the first page. "Drip" is notable for what it does before the album exists: it puts the choreography, the crew of dancers and a chant on the table three weeks early.
By November 13 the audience will already know how the group moves, which is a confident way to open a record.
