These pirate kings turn into variety show kings with episodes taking ATEEZ all over South Korea. There’s never a dull moment in WANTEEZ.

First premiering in August of 2022, WANTEEZ now consists of a grand total of 40 episodes centered around K-pop group ATEEZ as of October 2024.

Consisting of members HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO, ATEEZ have grown tremendously in popularity during this time. Though, no matter how successful their music becomes, they never fail to come back and give their fans, ATINY, more hilarious content to enjoy.

1. Episodes 5-6: Chuseok

The members of ATEEZ gather as eight grandsons at their grandmother’s countryside house for Chuseok. After a friendly cousin reunion, they go outside to play games and show off just how well they know one another.

For the second episode, they take part in team tasks to make their holiday a successful one. They make Chuseok classics like jeon, dak-bokkeum-tang, and songpyeon, with maknae Jongho on a team of his own to make perfect rice.

2. Episode 7: ATEEZ find their best friend

Putting their friendship to the test, ATEEZ try to find their individual perfect match. Each round allows the members to present their personal qualities and their ability to be the ultimate best friend. After playing games and doing challenges with their partners, the members anonymously place one flower in the box of the person they’d like to match with, and find out if their match is successful.

The final prize: a key made of gold with their slogan “8 makes 1 team” inscribed on it. This episode is full of laughter, betrayal, love, loss – essentially it is one you don’t want to miss.

3. Episodes 9-11: Health special

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year: check up time! In these episodes, the members go where no idol group has gone before.

Wished for by the leader, captain HONGJOONG, ATEEZ gather at the hospital for an endoscopy. Regarded as one of the funniest episodes of WANTEEZ, the group battles drowsiness under anesthetics and overcome their medical fears.

The members then move to a house to eat delicious healthy food as a reward after their fasting. Only, it might not be so delicious when they have to make it themselves.

4. Episodes 17-18: Jimjillbang

Everyone needs a spa day. It’s a day to sit back, relax, rejuvenate, and of course, hang out with friends. It’s even YEOSANG’s very first time at the sauna!

In need of money for drinks, snacks and games, these broke “students” must find different ways to get money from the very suspicious looking ATM. Will they get their snacks? Will the members get money from WOOYOUNG’s beautiful mother? Will YEOSANG get to live out his bucket list dream of ice chipping in the ice room? There’s a lot at stake in the Jimjillbang special!

5. Episodes 19-21: Drink tour

Another classic comedy special is the drink tour! ATEEZ test their alcohol limits as they drink “around South Korea”, all while being in one pub. They play drinking games, eat delicious food, and even get into a screaming match or two.

JONGHO, known as the best drinker of the group, shows his members some tricks and puts his soju expertise to the test. But as the empty soju bottles pile up, their faces get redder and their actions more unpredictable with every sip.

6. Episodes 33-35: Run

Based on the popular show Physical 100, ATEEZ puts their strength to the test. Just like the show, they not only need physical strength but mental strength as well.

While trying to outsmart and defeat the others, each member fights to overcome themselves as they push their bodies to the max. With crawling, bubble blowing, and speed walking, along with a few unlucky forfeits, there isn’t anything ATEEZ can’t do. But who will triumph?

7. Episodes 36-40: Travel king

ATEEZ is at the beach! These pirate kings have turned into travel kings, but their fate for the day rests on random sword picking. If they pick an unlucky dud, their vacation day becomes a bit harder.

The staff truly went all out to plan a fun day for the group as they go fishing, ATV riding, have inside relaxation time, play a quiz show game, and end the night with a fresh feast.

The episodes also trickle into YUNHO’s birthday the next morning! The only thing that could possibly ruin such a great day is the lurking knowledge that they might be the one who has to go clam hunting in the morning.
