ATEEZ 8th Anniversary PHOTOBOOK [Blue Drift] – What You Need to Know

ATEEZ is celebrating its 8th anniversary with a special photobook titled [Blue Drift].

Created to commemorate ATEEZ's anniversary, [Blue Drift] brings together exclusive photography and a special visual concept centered around three chapters: DRIFT, FLOW and DIVE. The same concept is also being presented through an anniversary exhibition in Seoul.

For ATINY looking for a special ATEEZ collectible beyond a regular album, this anniversary photobook offers a different way to enjoy the group's visuals and celebrate eight years of ATEEZ.

ATEEZ 8th Anniversary [Blue Drift]

ATEEZ debuted in October 2018, and [Blue Drift] has been created as part of the group's 8th anniversary celebrations.

The project is built around three chapters:

DRIFT

FLOW

DIVE

The three themes also form the basis of the Blue Drift exhibition, creating a visual connection between the photobook and the anniversary event.

What Is Included?

The [Blue Drift] photobook is a substantial anniversary collectible with a 184-page photobook.

Each copy includes:

Photobook: 184 pages

4x6 Photos: 8

Folding Poster: 1

Photocards: 8

The complete 8-photocard set makes this release particularly interesting for collectors who enjoy ATEEZ photocards as well as large-format photobooks.

More Than a Regular Photobook

Unlike a standard comeback album, [Blue Drift] is an anniversary photobook rather than a new music album.

That means the main focus is on photography, visual storytelling and collectible physical content.

For ATINY, this makes it a different type of addition to an ATEEZ collection. Instead of collecting another album version, [Blue Drift] gives fans an anniversary-focused photobook designed around the group's 8th anniversary.

Blue Drift Exhibition

The [Blue Drift] project also includes an anniversary exhibition in Seoul.

The exhibition is scheduled to run from October 1 to October 11, 2026, at N:NEWS Museum in Jung-gu, Seoul. It is organized around the same three chapters featured in the photobook: DRIFT, FLOW and DIVE.

The exhibition combines unreleased photography from the shoot with multimedia displays, extending the Blue Drift concept beyond the physical photobook.
