On November 29, Mnet’s second night of the annual Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA Awards) witnessed some impressive stages from various talented K-Pop artists. ATEEZ were one of them.
The audience was fired up with the group’s live performance of “Bouncy (K-Hot Chilli Peppers),” followed by “Crazy Form.”
While the members’ vocals and stage presence were formidable, what really stole the show was San removing his top during the transition between the two songs.
He stripped his upper body bare on stage, revealing an enviable physique, adorned with a tattoo depicting the moon’s phases.
The clip went viral almost immediately, with fans left shook with the unexpected tease from San.
Now, more clips from the day have emerged that show it was not just the fans whose worlds were changed that day, but other idols too.
In the new clip, three groups in the artists’ seating section were in focus, ZEROBASEONE, TREASURE¸ and LE SSERAFIM. All three of them bewildered, but in different ways.
te`When San took off his top on stage, LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura had her jaw drop in disbelief.

She was joined by TREASURE in the row behind her, who all gave similar reactions, except Hyunsuk who shot up with surprise.

Right behind them, all members of ZEROBASEONE collectively lost it, with some covering their gaping mouths with their hands, and some leaping off their seats.
