KQ Entertainment started planning the formation of a new boy group after contacted by Hongjoong. The future leader of ATEEZ sent them a sample mixtape and a letter, expressing his interest in joining the company as a trainee.

Impressed by his creation, KQ Entertainment invited him to become their very first trainee. He remained the only trainee for six months before Yunho eventually joined him.

ATEEZ made their official debut in October 2018. They released their first EP Treasure: All to Zero. The tracks Pirate King and Treasure served as the lead singles. A music video for each song was also released during this time.

In 2019, the group won their first music show on M Countdown for their single Wave. The song came out of their third EP titled Treasure: One to All. Just five days later, ATEEZ got another win for the song on The Show.
