Someone said they were fighting because someone screamed for Kim Jiwoong to leave the group, and Kim Jiwoong’s fans hit them. LOL. Please spread this. Wow, they’re such idiots.

The situation got so out of hand that most of the artists present looked concerned. Even the group who was standing up looked shocked as they prepared for their turn in the spotlight. The members of ATEEZ took the lead in directing staff to manage the chaos.
