Description
I have questions with respect to:
1) Is the Line Friends BT21 Merch official or unofficial?
A: Majority of the BT21 merch is fan made (unofficial). There's a few official items for sale and the official items will say wording that's it's official in the product page. The more expensive items are official while the less expensive ones are fanmade. Unofficial BT21 will be much less than the price of the official version.
2) Are the photocards for sale official or fanmade?
A: Almost all the photocard sets for sale are fanmade or unofficial. If they are in the Under $15 collection, they are unofficial. If they are from a Lucky Draw or a album Pre-Order Benefit then they are 100% official and essentially come one by one unless you order a set via a Lucky Draw.

A: 3-5 weeks is the ETA. On occasions it may arrive faster and during busy shipping times it may turn into 6 weeks. for items such as Albums and Official Merchandise, it's already in the US and is received much faster.

ATEEZ – GOLDEN HOUR : PART.1 (10th Mini Album)
After six years of ATEEZ doing things their way, "WORK" arrived and somehow hit harder than anything that came before it. ATINY were not surprised. Everyone else was catching up.
Released on May 31, 2024 — following their performance at Coachella 2024, which introduced ATEEZ to the biggest festival audience of their career — ATEEZ GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1 is the 10th mini album and the opening chapter of the GOLDEN HOUR series. It is the album that achieved the biggest US sales week of any K-pop act in 2024, debuted on the Billboard 200, and landed at #4 on the 2024 US Top CD Album Sales chart — making it one of the commercially significant K-pop releases of the year and one of the most important physical releases in ATEEZ's career.
But the numbers are only part of the story. The real story is the music — and specifically the sonic pivot GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1 represents for ATEEZ. After the relentless, dark-edged dystopian intensity of THE WORLD series, the GOLDEN HOUR era arrives with a completely different emotional temperature: warmer, more nostalgic, dream pop influences threading through production that still hits hard when it needs to. It is ATEEZ choosing to make music that sounds like what the golden hour actually looks like — that specific quality of late afternoon light that makes everything feel simultaneously beautiful and fleeting.
Available in three standard versions — Golden Hour Ver., Diary Ver., and Blue Hour Ver. — and eight individual Digipak versions (one per member), this album comes loaded with one of the most generous physical packages ATEEZ has ever assembled: a 120-page photobook, two photocards per copy (Photocard A and Photocard Z), a Photo Frame & Postcard Set, an Invitation, a Contents Envelope, two sticker designs, and a Bookmark. It is the kind of physical package that makes the unboxing as much of an event as the music.
The GOLDEN HOUR Series — What Part.1 Opens
The GOLDEN HOUR series is ATEEZ's fourth major conceptual era — the chapter that follows the Treasure trilogy (2018–2019), the FEVER series (2019–2021), and THE WORLD series (2022–2023). Where THE WORLD was dystopian and intense, GOLDEN HOUR is reflective and luminous. The concept asks what it means to exist fully in a precious, passing moment — and what it sounds like when eight people decide to make that feeling into music.

Chapter 2 — ATEEZ's second Billboard 200 #1
Part.1 is where the GOLDEN HOUR era is established — its sonic palette, its emotional tone, its visual language. Every ATINY who wants to experience the full arc of this series needs it physically. And given that Part.2 went on to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, owning the album that started the era feels like exactly what it is: the beginning of something historic.
What Makes ATEEZ GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1 Essential
"WORK" is the title track and it is, in the most delightful way, not what you'd expect from a group known for cinematic dystopian concepts. It is bright, propulsive, and unapologetically fun — a track about earning your place and wearing your success without apology, with a hook that gets lodged in your brain immediately and a music video that ATINY declared iconic within hours of its release. Performed on some of ATEEZ's biggest stages to date including the TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER world tour, "WORK" became the defining performance anthem of ATEEZ's 2024.
"Golden Hour" opens the album and sets the tone for the entire era — a sweeping, emotionally resonant track that captures the feeling the series is named for. It is one of those tracks that sounds like a closing song but arrives at the beginning, which creates a specific kind of emotional experience where you spend the rest of the album understanding what the opener was reaching for. ATINY consistently rank it among the most beautiful things ATEEZ have recorded.
"Blind" follows as one of the album's most textured and layered productions — atmospheric, slightly darker than what surrounds it, and the track that demonstrates the GOLDEN HOUR sound isn't all warmth and nostalgia. There are shadows in the golden hour too. "Blind" is where they live.
"Empty Box" is the album's emotional gut-punch — a vulnerability track in an album full of confidence, arriving at track 4 and landing with the kind of weight that makes ATINY appreciate the lighter tracks around it differently. It demonstrates once again that ATEEZ's ability to move between emotional registers within a single release is genuinely unmatched in their generation.
"Shaboom" is the chaos track — high energy, fun, the kind of song that exists to be performed live at full volume in a stadium with 20,000 people losing their minds. It is the track on this album that makes every ATINY who has seen ATEEZ live immediately imagine what it sounds like in an arena. (The answer is: extremely good.)
"Siren" closes the album — a track that uses the mythological image of the siren as a frame for an emotionally complex piece about being drawn to something you know might not be entirely good for you. As a closing track for an album called GOLDEN HOUR, "Siren" lands with exactly the right combination of beauty and weight: the golden hour always ends, and "Siren" is the moment the light starts to change.

Six tracks. The beginning of the GOLDEN HOUR era. Every one earning its place.

The three versions represent three phases of the same golden hour: the peak warmth (Golden Hour Ver.), the personal memory of it (Diary Ver.), and the cooler, reflective transition as it fades into night (Blue Hour Ver.). All three together form the complete physical GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1 collection.
The Coachella Connection — Why GOLDEN HOUR Arrived When It Did
One of the most memorable things about the ATEEZ GOLDEN HOUR : Part.1 rollout is where it began: at Coachella 2024, where ATEEZ performed and where leader Hongjoong revealed the "GOLDEN HOUR" teaser with a folding fan bearing the series name. For ATINY who watched the Coachella livestream, the moment felt like a declaration — ATEEZ standing on one of the biggest stages in Western music and announcing their next era to the world.
The album that followed lived up to that moment. Pre-orders flooded in. The US sales week was the largest of any K-pop act in 2024. The GOLDEN HOUR era was already historic before Part.2 even arrived to take it to its #1 Billboard 200 conclusion.
Owning Part.1 physically is owning the opening statement of that story.
