The concert just recently wrapped up, and as with all of the group’s concerts, it seems to have been full of incredible, entertaining, and hilarious moments between the members and ATINYs!

There was one moment in particular that’s making the rounds on social media that has fans cracking up, and is a perfect example of the entertaining chaos that ATEEZ’s members are known for.
Playing with oversized balloons has been a part of their recent concerts, adding a level of fun and unpredictability that has led to a number of funny and unexpected moments. The members seem to love to hit each other with them, and we can’t blame them, because that just seems like the right thing to do with giant balloons!

During the London concert, Wooyoung threw one of these balloons at Jongho, hitting the maknae square in the chest. But things didn’t end there — the balloon ended up ricocheting off of Jongho and straight into Hongjoong‘s head!
Like the dramatic king that he is, Hongjoong immediately collapsed to the floor after he was hit, even though he was in the middle of a rap verse during “Wave”. But like the professional that he is, he didn’t let the “interruption” stop him from continuing to rap!

It’s such a perfect example of the hilarious dynamics that the members of ATEEZ have with each other, especially because of the playfully teasing relationship that Wooyoung and Hongjoong have. In fact, Wooyoung ends up celebratorily giving Jongho a hug after realizing his throw ended up bonking the group’s leader!
ATINYs are getting a kick out of the moment being shared online, and we imagine that it will only get more views and comments as it continues to spread now that the concert is over!
wooyoung always at the scene of the crime

Is it even an ateez concert if Joong isn’t falling dramatically to the floor? https://t.co/2ZYKUjopZ8

We hope that ATEEZ’s members and ATINYs all had an amazing time at this concert, and we can’t wait to see what chaotic moments continue to happen during the rest of their tour!
