As most ATEEZ fans likely know, before ATEEZ was, well, ATEEZ, they were known as KQ Fellaz. Prior to their debut on October 24, 2018, they went by this name as a group of trainees at KQ Entertainment, with one of their most popular pre-debut videos being their “Performance Video I”.

During the months leading up to their debut, KQ Entertainment also released a series for KQ Fellaz to build anticipation for their entrance into the K-Pop world. On May 22, 2018, the first episode of this series was released, featuring clips of them preparing for their training period in America.

It’s incredibly endearing to look back at the ATEEZ members when they were still trainees excited to debut in the K-Pop industry. From San introducing us to his plush dog Shiber to Seonghwa and Jongho teasing Wooyoung, it’s an adorable first glimpse at the talented idols we would come to know and love. They all look so young and excited to be on their journey, with no idea of just how successful and beloved they would become!
