HALA chat is a space to celebrate and obsess over all things ATEEZ. Each week hosts Bobby and Rachel will dive deep into the latest and greatest happenings in ATEEZ lore, fashion, fandom, and more. With the laid-back attitude of your coolest aunt, they explore the ups and downs of being a seasoned kpop stan with humor, logic, and a little bit of grace.
For more from Bobby and Rachel, you can also read their blog at auntiny.com.
