Some K-pop fans also found parallels between Everglow and Ateez’s pirate concept. Some Atinys were upset as they said, “It's just unfair that atz got hate bc of the pirate concept while ur group is getting praises, and the fact that you're not acknowledging how atz owned that concept makes it even worse y'all are acting like "everything is okay, unless it's atz", and its so annoying.” However, For Evers pointed out how different the concepts were with posts like, “PIRATE BY ATEEZ  AND PIRATE BY EVERGLOW,” and “Watch atinys after the Everglow's mv, when they find out that the word "pirate" is actually about the hacked system..” Other multi-fans hoped that they would get a collab, “Everglow having a track called pirate, ateez having a track with pirate = EVERTEEZ COLLAB STAGE.”
