Too Sexy? ATEEZ’s Unexpectedly NSFW Camera Angles At Concert Spark Debate
ATEEZ kicked off their 2024 WORLD TOUR [TOWARDS THE LIGHT : WILL TO POWER] on July 14 in Tacoma, WA. On July 17, the group performed in Oakland, CA.
One particular moment from the concert has gone viral and sparked a discussion.
During the performance of “IT’s You,” the camera person zoomed in on the lower half of San as he grabbed his crotch briefly as part of the choreography. It went viral with 122+K views on X (formerly Twitter) at the time of writing.

Some ATINYs expressed their appreciation for the cameraperson. Some even wondered if they were fellow ATINY.

I need to be in that meeting/rehearsal when they were figuring out the best camera angles and shots for everything and somebody went "crotch shot – we gotta get that 8k crotch grab super booster zoom just right." https://t.co/do0ULiUiBK

Yet, many found the angle choice inappropriate. They believe that the ATEEZ members are becoming increasingly over-sexualized.
can the camera men stop zooming in their sensitive parts?
this is not the first time.
idc what you say but they're overdoing it and it's not cool at all.
atz has been s3xualized so many times and i dont like seeing people focus on those. https://t.co/TABZCBUC3J— "૮₍ ˶•⤙•˶ ₎ა (@gyeomtensan01) July 18, 2024
I can't be the only one who thinks this is getting weird. Last show they zoomed in on Yeosang's ass and today on San's crotch. Even when they are doing sexy moves, the camera angles shouldn't be these. https://t.co/nGEI5c64nz

At the previous concert, the camera focused on Yeosang‘s butt. Some ATINYs are finding such camera angles problematic.

Are these camera angles crossing boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed?
