This is becoming more and more apparent every day. As I observe, they want the same success as ATEEZ but what the K-Pop industry and these companies are not understanding is ATEEZ gives us fresh takes on most ideas, themes and concepts. Lately, the K-Pop industry just plagiarizes or takes directly from a subsection of black culture (amapiano, afrobeats, wanna be A$AP Rocky/Travis Scott but doesn't naturally have the swag that they do so it's inauthentic, cringe, corny, and isn't respected by that sector of the music industry ie Grammys, The Academy, etc. because it's not original to the group and copies what they think is trendy... but I digress). ATEEZ songs can be inspired by other genres of music, but it still sounds and looks like ATEEZ. Instead of building a robust lore and provide thorough storytelling, a lot of these companies are using a quick trend or even at the worst, an intentional controversy that harms a group of people to get visibility. All to say, #ATEEZ #에이티즈 keep doing you and creating art to your standards and beyond to keep making these people mad. #KQ don't mess with Mnet anymore and everyone needs to start suing people.
