ATEEZ Talk ‘DRIP’ and ATINY on Jennifer Hudson’s Show Alongside Rachel Bilson

October 31, 2026 | K-POP News | United States

ATEEZ gave American daytime TV viewers a chance to see more than their stage performance. On October 27, the eight members visited The Jennifer Hudson Show to perform “DRIP,” talk with host Jennifer Hudson and answer questions from ATINY. Actress Rachel Bilson was another guest on the same episode.

On October 29, BroadwayWorld described an extended conversation featuring both ATEEZ and Bilson. The show’s guest announcement presented their appearances separately. What is clear is that Jennifer Hudson hosted the program, while Bilson was another guest.

What ATEEZ told Jennifer Hudson about “DRIP”

When host Jennifer Hudson asked about “DRIP,” leader Hongjoong traced the song’s confidence back to the eight years ATEEZ have spent growing with their fans. ATINY, he explained, were an important part of that journey.

Yunho said his love for ATINY had only grown stronger over the years. San named the stage as his favorite place to connect with fans, where the group can feel an audience’s energy and give something back. Their answers offered a glimpse of what performing together still means to them.

The program also posted “ATEEZ Answers ATINY’s Burning Questions!” on October 27, giving viewers a chance to hear the exchange in the members’ own words.

Rachel Bilson was part of the same episode

Bilson, known to many viewers for The O.C., appeared on the program to discuss her film Christmas at the Kringles. The show’s preview also mentioned her memories of being in a girl group as a teenager and a surprise harp moment with Hudson.

BroadwayWorld reported that ATEEZ and Bilson shared an extended conversation hosted by Jennifer Hudson. The show’s official preview introduced Bilson’s interview and ATEEZ’s performance as separate highlights, while the published ATEEZ Q&A clip focuses on the group. Bilson was a fellow guest, not the host or interviewer.

“DRIP” gave the visit its live-music moment

ATEEZ also performed “DRIP” for the studio audience. Unlike the song’s produced music video, this was a live television performance, giving viewers another way to experience the group’s choreography and stage presence.

The appearance came during the group’s continuing GOLDEN HOUR era. By bringing a current track and a fan-focused conversation to the same show, ATEEZ gave American television viewers a sense of both their stage identity and the friendships and history behind it.

A U.S. TV appearance with two sides

ATEEZ are used to performing for large concert crowds. Here, they moved from a carefully rehearsed stage to a relaxed conversation about their music and fans. The contrast gave the television appearance a personality of its own.

ATEEZ and Bilson were both featured on the October 27 broadcast. BroadwayWorld’s report describes an extended joint conversation, and the program’s official videos let viewers revisit ATEEZ’s interview and “DRIP” performance directly.
