What Happened With ATEEZ San
In the controversial clip from the variety show, San visibly froze and appeared caught off guard as the interaction continued. This moment has now sparked a heated debate about consent and how young idols are often put in an uncomfortable position on variety shows.
During the conversation, ATEEZ San was explaining his workout routine when the host abruptly moved forward and touched his chest. The K-pop idol stopped mid-sentence and smiled uncomfortably. He looked visibly startled but maintained a composure for the rest of the segment. The fans said that as the host was a senior in the industry, it may have been difficult for the ATEEZ member to express his discomfort.
ATEEZ’s San is recognised for his powerful stage presence and disciplined fitness routine. Many fans believe that, due to his bold image, people often overlook the fact that idols, regardless of their image and gender, deserve boundaries.
This incident has sparked a heated debate about the South Korean entertainment show scenario. People started highlighting more instances where sudden touching or forceful interactions have been treated as jokes. Fans are now urging the TV networks and producers of these shows to impose strict restrictions to protect the guests.
