Digital Chosun's ATEEZ group interview ahead of their first encore concert, "ANCHOR IN SEOUL."
A group interview conducted ahead of ATEEZ's first-ever encore concert, "THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL – ANCHOR IN SEOUL," published by Digital Chosun (dizzo.com) March 23, 2023. Members reflect on their 2022–2023 "THE FELLOWSHIP" world tour, post-pandemic reunions with fans, their first Billboard 200 entry, and goals for the future, including Hongjoong's remark that the group wants a long career "because we're ATEEZ, we want to be active until we're 80." Seonghwa reflects on the confidence gained from touring: "많은 무대 속에서 경험이 쌓이다 보니 다음 앨범이나 다른 무대 등을 준비할 때 멋있는 퍼포먼스를 보여줄 수 있을 것 같다는 자신감이 생겼다" ("As I built up experience across so many stages, I gained the confidence that I'll be able to put on great performances when preparing the next album or other stages"), on the growth the tour brought in both skill and stage leadership.
