Fans are outraged after an item left behind by ATEEZ‘s Yunho was stolen.
ATEEZ are currently in North America and just kicked off their TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER tour in the US.
Thankfully, the group has had some downtime between their dates and have been exploring the city they are in. This includes Yunho, who shared content from his time exploring San Francisco.
In one Instagram story, Yunho writes on a lock and places it on a fence. This is usually done to leave a physical reminder of a relationship and bond, and Yunho’s was meant to show just that between ATEEZ and Atiny in a place that fans would be able to go visit.
However, just a day after the lock was placed, a visiting fan shared that the lock was no longer there.
dear whoever took the lock yunho put on the san francisco pier 39 instead of leaving it there as a landmark for atinys to visit: i hope you have an awful day pic.twitter.com/q434Jiw4p3

Many fans shared their disappointment in the thief, reflecting on what the lock was meant to be.
how selfish can you be. he put that there for every and any atiny to visit, not for someone to fucking keep for themselves. did it even cross their mind that yh might wanna go back in the future and revisit it ?? destroyed such a genuine gesture for what

I can't believe that someone took the lock Yunho left there for atiny. Now no one can go there and visit/see that lock. Yunho put it in there for a reason and someone just decided to destroy that. Imagine how sad he must be now pic.twitter.com/8Y5Dhqtxh1

Yunho is going to be soo heartbroken when he realises that the lock that he inscribed with the words “ATEEZ, ATINYs”, to show his love to his members and fans has now been stolen….

While sad that this occurred, some fans considered making the most out of the situation. One fan suggested that a fan should replace the lock with the message reversed so that there would still be something in the original lock’s place.
Anyone in the area… can you put one that says Atiny X Ateez to replace the one that was taken!!! Like someone broke Yunho’s Heart but Atiny replaced it!!!!! I would but I live in Chicagoland area!!!

Hopefully, next time Yunho or any idol leaves something behind, it can remain there.
