ATINYs noticed an unexpected inclusive detail in a new ATEEZ video.
ATEEZ recently released their 2023 SUMMER PHOTOBOOK along with a making of behind-the-scenes DVD.
In the video, ATINYs noticed that a transition filter used particularly on a scene of Mingi contained meaningful imagery. It was 8-bit hearts, which were also Pride flags coming together to create a rainbow heart.
They recognized the Gay Pride, Lesbian, Bisexual, Non-Binary, and Transgender flags.

While some might say editors included the hearts unknowingly, ATINYs pointed out that the video was made for the summer, and June is Pride Month. Either way, queer ATINYs are touched by the inclusion of the pride hearts in the video.
