Atinys slam fans who embarrassed Yunho and Seonghwa at Ateez Grammy Museum interview

With Ateez going global, Atiny that wish the best for the K-pop group slammed the fans that may have embarrassed the members

As the history of Music would have it, Grammy Awards are considered to be one of the most prestigious achievements any artist could ask for. Being one of the only four K-pop artists to be invited by the Grammy Museum for an exclusive interview was one of the biggest achievements for the K-pop group Ateez. From the videos posted online from the event, all seemed to be going very well at the show where Hongjoong, the leader of Ateez kept his calm as he faced the questions from the interview head-on and presented the journey of the group over the years.

Despite the positives, fans of Ateez that wished the best for the group are now calling out the few girls who showed up at the interview and turned the interview into a concert. Fans who attended the Grammy Museum Interview with Ateez on February 8 and the fans who attended the show took to Twitter to express their feelings about the show.

Atiny's call out fans who infuriated Ateez members

Some Atinys (fans of Ateez) in particular took notice of how members Yunho and Seonghwa gave out unpleasant reactions to a few attendees that turned the interview into a concert as they whipped out their lightsticks and waved them in the air as they cheered on for the boys. The actions of these fans were purely out of love for the group but considering the setting of the interview, some fans of Ateez pointed out how this was in fact, embarrassing for the Ateez members who were being interviewed for their achievements.

One fan, in particular, gave out a statement via their Twitter account saying, “Yunho getting mad about the lightsticks is TOTALLY understandable. I mean, why would you bring a lightstick to a formal event? It's not even a concert. Y'all embarrassed ATEEZ and it shows.” Another fan said, “Ateez had an interview at the Grammy museum and the atinys in the audience acted like they were at a concert with the lightstick screaming like crazy when this is not the place to do that they put them to shame.”

'What an embarrassment'

Another fan narrated the story of the event saying, “So at the GM today there like 3-4 something Atinys with lightsticks. And they were waving the lightstick on the most inappropriate times and screaming their throat out every 5 min like it's a concert. And becz if that seonghwa got mad. Probably yunho too not sure tho.” Another fan said, “We laughed and joked for a week but someone really camped in front of the grammy museum, brought banners and lightsticks, shouted during the interview distracting the ateez. What an embarrassment.” One fan said, “Lightstick sa grammy museum... are u kidding me 😧 it was a formal event, not an ateez concert pls.”

One fan sarcastically remarked, “Imagine ateez is being invited to grammy museum interview but all they see is slogan and lightstick like come on.” One fan said, “Apparently ateez got mad cuz some atinys brought their lightstick to the grammy thing, since its a formal event they shouldnt have.” Another fan said, “Did the atinys really bring the lightsticks and scream while the ateez talked interrupting them ?? AT THE GRAMMY MUSEUM ??? what an embarrassment.”

One fan asked, “Who brought a lightstick to the Grammy museum like what the f*ck is wrong with y'all did we not agree you were not gonna embarrass the teezers?? Another fan said, “Bye because why would you even bring a lightstick to the grammy museum?? it's not a concert.”
