The frustration perceived by fans is completely understandable, as it can be discouraging to feel as if the countries were ignored. However, some believe that the comments have been brought too far and aimed at ATEEZ members instead of the management.
On April 2, Mingi shared a video by Tiktok with him to dance with J-Hope’s “Mona Lisa”.

Many comments have questioned the caption “I like my Ainy”, directing the accusations of discrimination against Minci.
The commentators also arrived in defense of the idol, stating that the complaints on the tour dates should be addressed to KQ Entertainment since the group was not responsible for choosing the tour dates.
While fans are solidarity with fans who feel excluded from the tour dates, most of them want the complaints to be directed to the planning managers, rather than to the members.
