One moment from the event is notably garnering attention on X (formerly Twitter). MATZ sub-unit Hongjoong and Seonghwa danced to “Ubu Love” by Naniwa Danshi.

The song is actually the OST from BL (Boy Love) Drama Kieta Hatsukoi (also known as My Love Mix-Up!), adapted from the Japanese manga of the same name. ATINYs were so excited to see the two members dance to the song.

They especially loved the timing of it. They felt that it was ATEEZ’s subtle way of confirming their stance concerning LGBTQIA+ after one of Seonghwa’s posts received homophobic comments.
