ATEEZ Fans Are Demanding Respect For Mingi After He Was Excluded In A Universe Show
Fans of ATEEZ are understandably upset over the treatment that Mingi was given on a recent Universe show and are demanding an apology from the company.
During the episode of “KLAP Up!”, the members were given different tasks to complete in order to get “KLAPs” for ATINYs, which can be used on the Universe app to earn various benefits.
One of the tasks that the members were given was to recreate or answer questions about past photos of themselves. There were three photos total with different tasks.
What has fans upset is that out of the three photos, two of them only included seven members because they were taken when Mingi was on hiatus for his mental health. The task even includes the phrase “Except for Mingi”, further excluding him.
ATEEZ is 8. It’s 8 makes 1 team.

While the members do their best to include Mingi in the game by having him “take the picture” for their posing, he ends up lingering behind the members looking uncomfortable with the situation. This isn’t the first time that this sort of situation has happened for Mingi, which makes it all the more upsetting.
im not seeing atinys bringing any attention to this matter. have we not learned anything when mingi went into hiatus two years ago??? purposefully choosing ot7 pics is sick and a jab at his mental health pic.twitter.com/NlYKEgClCN

I hope everyone avoids things that could make Mingi feel out of place
bc it’s true that he feels like he should not be part of certain things, remember this moment? 😐
we don’t want it to keep happening over & over #WeLoveYouMingi 💞

Considering that there are tons of photos of all eight members that could have been used instead, fans think that the exclusion of Mingi in the game was extremely avoidable and unnecessary. He’s a beloved and talented member of ATEEZ, and deserves just as much love and praise as the rest of them.
I really think we should love and appreciate every member equally, if its not that possible atleast support them and always try to remember they made 8 Makes 1 Team chant for a reason! #ATEEZ @ATEEZofficial #MINGI #WeLoveYouMingi pic.twitter.com/0HEOZWdKYe

Hongjoong didn’t say ‘thank you for coming back’ to Mingi for nothing. Mingi’s presence is as important as others’.

We hope that Mingi wasn’t too hurt by the issue, and is seeing all of the support he is receiving from ATINYs!
