ATEEZ is currently on the road for their 2025 ATEEZ WORLD TOUR [TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER] IN EUROPE, putting on unforgettable shows in Amsterdam, Barcelona, and more. One ATINY, who attended the group’s Amsterdam concert, is now receiving scathing criticism from fellow fans.
At the show, Mingi handed his mic over to the audience. The mic initially went to an ATINY who had brought a heart-shaped sign with Mingi’s name on it to the concert. During some concerts, ATEEZ hands a mic to a fan to let the fan choose the ATEEZ member who will introduce the next song.
Before she could say anything, however, her friend reached over and took Mingi’s mic.
“You guys are all handsome and talented,” she said, as Mingi’s fan leaned over, trying to speak into the mic, “but…”
At this point, Mingi’s fan shouted “Mingi!” into the mic and was pushed away by her friend, who said, “No, no,” in response to that.
“We all love you guys,” she continued, “but it’s Wooyoung. I fear it’s Wooyoung.”
This was ATEEZ’s reaction, shown on the stage’s screens:
The moment has since gone viral on social media and received backlash from netizens who criticized the second ATINY for taking Mingi’s mic and shading Mingi.
Omg wait she’s horrible actually wow I didn’t notice at all yesterday..
The girl who got the mic first had a mingi banner, so mingi chose her.. And then when the girl snatched the mic, she still tried to say mingi but weird girl chose wooyoung. Damn that’s messy.. https://t.co/S1oRtoXzcG pic.twitter.com/FBay36Ykgl

One TikTok user, who posted a video response, called out the ATINY for her “very pick me behavior” and congratulated her on her “four seconds of fame.” She even compared the ATINY to a high school bully in a K-Drama.
@yaksa.cosplay The audacity to not only steal the mic from someone ATEEZ chose but to then say Mingi isn’t handsome IN FRONT OF MINGI. Girl that is pick me behavior. #ateez #mingi #atiny #hongjoong #seonghwa #yunho #jongho #yeosang #wooyoung #San

Some netizens, however, wonder if it’s all a big misunderstanding.
What are your thoughts?
