ATEEZ will light up movie theaters worldwide this May with the release of a new concert film. The live juggernaut K-pop group stars in the ATEEZ World Tour [Towards the Light : Will to Power] in Cinemas that will transport audiences to January 2024 for the tour's kickoff performance at Jamsil Arena in Seoul. Presented by CJ 4DPLEX and Trafalgar Releasing, the massive stadium-sized show gets packaged for fans across Asia, North America, Europe, and more territories for a series of showings throughout May. A 126-minute spectacle, the upcoming concert film brings high-voltage performances of singles like 'Guerrilla,' 'Crazy Form' and 'Say My Name,' and special renditions of songs like the 'Symphony No.9 'From the Wonderland'' version of 'WONDERLAND.' Fans will also see solo and unit performances that spotlight the unique live artistry of members Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho. Leveraging CJ 4DPLEX's immersive technologies, audiences will be treated to a range of experiences with ATEEZ World Tour [Towards the Light : Will to Power] in Cinemas via ScreenX (the 270-degree panoramic showcase that surrounds viewers with visuals extending across multiple screens), 4DX (motion-synchronized seating and environmental effects like wind, water and scents), Ultra 4DX (a hybrid of ScreenX and 4DX at select premium locations) and traditional 2D (for the purists who prefer a classic, concert film viewing). 'Presenting ATEEZ's concert in cinemas continues our efforts to expand what theatrical storytelling can be,' Jun Bang, Chief Executive Officer at CJ 4DPLEX, said. 'At CJ 4DPLEX, we've long explored how music and film converge, and through our immersive formats — ScreenX, 4DX, and Ultra 4DX — we're proud to offer a powerful, cinematic experience that brings audiences closer to the energy of live performance.' Marc Allenby, the Chief Executive Officer of Trafalgar Releasing, emphasized the massiveness of the Towards the Light : Will to Power world tour — which included the band's first U.S. stadium shows at New York's Citi Field and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles — emphasized how it 'deserves' to be on the big screen.

CGV to screen Seventeen's concert film
K-pop powerhouse's 'Right Here' world tour will hit silver screens Wednesday Multiplex chain CGV announced Tuesday it will bring Seventeen's "Right Here" world tour to Korean theaters starting Wednesday. The film captures the group's performances at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi Province that kicked off their fourth world tour in October. The global trek ultimately included 30 gigs across 14 cities in Asia and North America before wrapping up in Bangkok in February, drawing over 1 million fans in total. While UK-based Trafalgar Releasing has teamed up with CJ 4DPLEX for the film's global rollout, CGV, CJ 4DPLEX's parent company, will exclusively oversee the Korean theatrical release. CGV plans to screen the film in various premium formats including IMAX, 4DX, and ScreenX. The 4DX screenings promise motion effects perfectly synced to the group's choreography, alongside wind and snow effects that mirror the confetti and pyrotechnics from the live concerts. "The film captures Seventeen's signature energy and precision choreography down to the smallest detail," said CGV Icecon business team leader Kim Jin-ho. "We're excited for fans to experience the raw excitement of the concert and create lasting memories in our theaters." Since their 2015 debut, Seventeen has cemented its status as one of K-pop's most influential acts. The 13-member boy band placed two albums at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, topped the Billboard Artist 100, and earned the title for the best-selling album worldwide in 2023 with their 10th mini album "FML," which sold more than 6.4 million copies according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Their global profile soared in 2024 as they became the first K-pop group to grace the Glastonbury Festival stage and headline Lollapalooza Berlin, while also accepting their appointment as UNESCO's Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. Fans catching the film in Korea can snag one of 11 different A3-sized photo posters available to ticket holders on a first-come basis. A dedicated photo zone showcasing the group's unit stage costumes will also be featured at CGV Yongsan until April 24. Tickets for "Seventeen [RIGHT HERE] World Tour in Cinemas" are now available through CGV's mobile app and website.
