On February 1, 2024, South Korean boy group ATEEZ announced that they will be releasing their official character, ANITEEZ. The announcement was made on the group’s official social media channels, where they released concept cards for the characters.
The ANITEEZ characters are based on the ATEEZ members themselves. Each character has their own unique personality and design that reflects the member they are based on. For example, the leader of ATEEZ, Hongjoong, is represented by a lion character with a strong and confident personality. Seonghwa, the visual of ATEEZ, is represented by a swan character with a graceful and elegant personality. Yunho, the main dancer of ATEEZ, is represented by a fox character with a playful and mischievous personality.
The released images drew attention with their high synchronization rate, as the ANITEEZ characters fully captured the characteristics of the ATEEZ members. The images also added to the fun by including information that showed off the charms of the 8 members, such as their names, “treasures,” and “favorite colors.” In particular, it is said that the ATEEZ members actively participated in the character development process of ANITEEZ, including design, color, and naming, and showed off their own senses.
