Many see him as an invasion of privacy.
BringsThe clothes ended up for sale.
At the end of February, Ateez concluded the European leg of theirs Towards the light: Will to Power World Tour. The twelve costs tour began in France and FinedeD In Brussels, Belgium.
The final show of the tour went out without important problems, but one seems to have arisen after the end of the concert.
A Netizen recently shared photos of lists on the eBay auction website that claim to be elements worn by members of the Ateez themselves. While Ateez first auctioned the clothing, these articles – according to the description – were listed without their knowledge.
The lists, one for what seems to be the photographic cards and another who show a shirt presumably worn by Hongjoong, claim to be listed by someone who worked as theatrical technician for the show and contributed to Takedown later.
The listed shirt seems to combine one who wore Hongjoong during the show, an item not available for sale during the European tour dates.
Currently there are other articles that are said to be worn by ATEEZ members on the same eBay representing the Hongjoong auction and shirt was already sold.
While the clothing was taken from the locker room after the group left, there is a small debate that it was “stolen”. However, most believes that taking them instead of changing them makes him steal and an invasion of privacy by a staff.
I am so fucking tired of people who think that it is good to continually invade the privacy of the artists. Idgaf if it was left behind. Don’t sell fucking what has never been yours. It is a fucking theft. I never wanted to be given to the public for a fucking reason. They should be fired. https://t.co/qpimgwc3vz
