Very long story alert 🚨 I bumped into Yunho and Yeosang today in Manchester!!!!! 29/01/2025 (First day of Lunar New Year)
I was on my way to the hotel and all in a sudden I saw a few people gathering at a corner, of which 2 (or 3?) girls were wearing the ateez tour hoodie. I kept walking turning my head, and then i noticed the girls were talking to Yeosang in a beanie!! My jaw literally dropped to the floor and i immediately stopped saying ‘omg!’🤯
I stood next to a fellow atiny and she was talking to the guy in front of me. I looked up and it was Yunho!!!!! I literally stopped in front of Yunho and didn’t notice!!!😭😭😭 Me and Yunho made eye contact and my brain stopped working so I said ‘hiiiiiiii🤗’ trying to act cool while waving my hand like an idiot. Yunho was so nice to say ‘hi’ waving back at me. I'm so greatful for Yunho 🥹🥹🥹
The mum of the atiny next to me asked if i have a pen with me so we could get signatures, and guess what, I have a marker in my bag!!! Apparently no other atiny there had a pen so they were only talking to Yeosang and Yunho before i got there??? I told everyone in the group, including Yunho, Yeosang, and the manager that i have a marker so everyone was just waiting for me to grab it from my bag, which made me so stressed but it was hilarious at the same time. 🤣
Yunho being in front of me literally looked down and witnessed the entire process of me rambling through my bag trying to find the marker. I’m still very embarrassed that he saw the chaos in my travel bag 😃 (Yunho if you are reading this, I’m normally very organised except for when I travel I swear! I had no time to pack this morning!)
I forgot who I handed the marker to but the other 4-5 atinys were getting signatures from Yeosang and Yunho. I was busy taking out the lightiny group pc I always keep in my phone case so they could sign it. And they did!!!🥰🥰🥰
Also while Yeosang was signing for other atinys, I asked Yunho if I could get a picture in English. He replied back in English saying it’s not the best idea (not exact words but that’s what he meant) and I said no worries. I’m guessing it’s because he didn’t have makeup on and was wearing a hoodie?? But he still looked gorgeous anyway! He literally looks like a handsome oppa from uni. 🥰🥰🥰
Also Yeosang looked so good in person too! His skin was literally glowing without a single pore on his face. As a woman, I want his skin and I’m very jealous. 🫠
All in all, it was such a surreal experience. I never considered myself a lucky person, but I’m so thrilled that I get to meet Ateez members up closing in person!
Thank you
#Yunho and
#Yeosang for being so kind and signing for us. I wish you both, the rest of the members, as well as all of the Europe tour staff a wonderful Lunar New Year! 🧧
P.S: The manager/staff who was with Yeosang and Yunho today was smiling the whole time this happened. He was smiling as if he was pleased that the boys got recognised and he was grinning like a proud dad which was the cutest thing. 😊 Thank you to this staff member for being kind and let us atinys speak to Yunho and Yeosang. 🤗💕
P.S 2: After we said goodbye to Yunho and Yeosang, a gentleman selling Manchester City scarves (there was a game today) asked me ‘who were those guys just now?’ 🤣 I told him they were members of a VERY FAMOUS Korean kpop band called Ateez, who’s holding a concert tomorrow. I wished him good luck selling the scarfs and went on my way to the hotel. Now one more person on Earth is aware of Ateez and I've hit my KPI for the day. 😆👍
P.S. 3: I wanted to stress all of us 5-6 atinys today were very respectful and polite towards Yunho and Yeosang. (At least from when I joined) Everyone was keeping a reasonable distance, not being too close, and no one was taking pictures or recording or anything like that. We were all excited to meet Yunho and Yeosang but no one screamed or act too overly excited that could draw unnecessary attention. I guess this is part of the reason why Yunho and Yeosang was kind enough to stay to interact with us. That might also be why the staff member didn’t hurried the boys to leave.
Atinys if you ever bumped into Ateez members outside of their schedule, please remember to act responsibly and treat them with respect. After all, they are all human beings just like you and I, and they deserve the same amount of respect as you and I do. Let’s build a healthy fandom together and reciprocate the love Ateez has given to Atinys in the past 6 years. 🏴☠️
Our ship only goes one way
