The World EP.Fin: Will is the second Korean-language and fourth overall studio album by South Korean boy band Ateez, released on December 1, 2023, through KQ Entertainment, RCA Records and Legacy Recordings. It is the final installment in the group's The World series, following six months after The World EP.2: Outlaw. The album was released simultaneously with the single "Crazy Form" and its music video.[1] The World EP.Fin: Will debuted at number one in South Korea and the US.
Background
[edit | edit source]The group's captain Hongjoong commented that the album "wraps up [their first] five years as Ateez and previews what is to come in the following years", and pointed out that they included unit and solo songs "for the first time". Hongjoong also explained that the first choice of song for the album was "Crazy Form", with the rest of the album built around the single.[2]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Billboard's Jason Lipshutz wrote that "every inch of the album is filled with percussive breakdowns, rap verses springing into melodic hooks and cleanly delivered interplay between the various group members".[3]
Commercial performance
[edit | edit source]The World EP.Fin: Will sold over 910,000 copies in its first day of availability in South Korea according to the Hanteo Chart.[4] The album debuted at number one on the Circle Album Chart, selling a combined 1.6 million copies of its two charting versions in South Korea in its first week.[5]
The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with 152,000 album-equivalent units, of which 146,000 were pure album sales. It is Ateez' first number-one and fourth top-10 album in the US.[6]
