CREA WEB — ATEEZ Coachella 2024 Interview Series (Seonghwa)
CREA WEB's 3-part ATEEZ group interview on their 2024 Coachella performances.
A three-part CREA WEB (Bunshun) group interview with all eight ATEEZ members, published June 17–19, 2024, centered on their April 2024 Coachella performances — the first ever by a K-pop boy group — alongside their musical influences and the newly released "GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1."
Seonghwa's Words — Summary
This is a long, multi-part group interview in which each member speaks only briefly; the individual remarks below are paraphrased rather than quoted in full, to stay well short of reproducing the original article at length.
Discussing how the members come across, Seonghwa vouched for Hongjoong's off-stage character — saying he's genuinely kind despite a stage image some find intimidating — and joked that he and Mingi get the same "scary" impression from people based on their own performances.
Asked which international artists he admires, he named Harry Styles and Taylor Swift.
Asked about a favorite J-pop artist, he named singer-songwriter Aimyon, saying her music is moving and that she's popular in Korea too.
Paraphrased from the original Japanese text of the three-part CREA WEB interview linked below.
