In a momentous achievement for the global K-pop scene, ATEEZ has reached yet another digital milestone.
On December 19, 2025, the music video for their iconic 2020 track “Answer” officially surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.
This accomplishment marks a significant chapter in the group’s history, as “Answer” is widely considered one of their most beloved and representative songs.
Reaching this nine-figure view count nearly six years after its initial release speaks volumes about the longevity of ATEEZ’s discography and the steadfast dedication of their global fandom, ATINY.
A Masterpiece of the “Treasure” Era
“Answer,” originally released on January 6, 2020, served as the title track for the group’s fourth mini-album, TREASURE EPILOGUE: Action To Answer.
The song was the grand finale of their debut “Treasure” series, which successfully introduced the group’s unique “pirate” concept and complex narrative lore.

At the time, “Answer” was praised for its dramatic production, blending orchestral elements with heavy EDM beats, and its cinematic music video that featured the members confronting their alter-egos.
The track remains a staple of their live concerts and a favorite for K-pop enthusiasts due to its powerful message of persistence and victory.
Joining the Ranks of ATEEZ’s Biggest Hits
With “Answer” crossing the 100 million mark, it joins a select group of ATEEZ music videos that have achieved this level of viral success.
It is the group’s latest video to hit the milestone, following in the footsteps of their first 100-million-view hit, “WONDERLAND,” as well as more recent blockbusters like “BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS)” and “Crazy Form.”
What makes this particular achievement stand out is the “organic” nature of the views. Unlike “BOUNCY,” which reached the milestone in just 87 days, “Answer” has seen a steady, consistent climb over the years, proving that the song continues to attract new listeners long after its promotional cycle has ended.
A Year of Unprecedented Growth in 2025
This milestone arrives amidst a record-breaking year for ATEEZ. Throughout 2025, the group has been on a massive world tour, titled “Towards the Light: Will to Power,” performing in sold-out stadiums across Europe, North America, and Asia.
They have also released their “Golden Hour” series, which dominated global charts. The fact that an older track like “Answer” can still capture public attention in such a competitive year highlights ATEEZ’s ability to create “timeless” K-pop hits.

Industry experts often point to ATEEZ as a prime example of a group that built its success from the ground up, relying on high-performance quality and immersive storytelling rather than immediate domestic fame.
The Power of the ATINY Fandom
The celebration of “Answer” reaching 100 million views was spearheaded by ATINY, who organized streaming parties and social media campaigns to reach the goal before the end of the year.
Upon reaching the milestone, the official ATEEZ social media accounts posted commemorative messages, thanking fans for their “constant love.”
This achievement is more than just a number; it represents the deep emotional connection fans have with the “essence of ATEEZ” found in songs like “Answer.”
As the group prepares for their next era in 2026, the success of this classic anthem serves as a reminder of their roots and the enduring legacy of their musical journey.
The cinematic music video for Answer showcases the group’s signature performance style and narrative depth that led to this milestone.
