ATEEZ’s Members Show They’re Incredibly Body Positive In Resurfaced Clips On Twitter
If you’re a fan of ATEEZ, you already know that the members seem to share a genuinely close, loving bond with each other, always showing their care and support for any member who is having a hard time. Of course, it comes with its fair share of playful teasing too!
One thing that the members have never taken lightly, however, is being considerate and kind to each other when it comes to body image. The topic of an idol’s weight is a terribly common and criticized thing for both fans and the idols themselves to discuss, and it has undoubtedly led to body image issues in the industry.
In a recent resurfaced clip posted on Twitter of members Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and San, the latter two members quickly chime in with support when Seonghwa vocalizes criticism of his own weight.
This is why no group will ever compare to Ateez for me. Hongjoong was ready to throw hands and San was quick to reassure. This snippet of a conversation between them comforts me so much. pic.twitter.com/x80tSUH3dN

Several comments on the original post shared other instances of ATEEZ’s members being body positive as well, which shows that this isn’t an isolated incident.
For example, San once talked on Universe about how he enjoys belly fat on others, especially his fellow members!
San even complaining about the members not being squishy enough for him???? 😭 pic.twitter.com/tQ3Xkx6xJ1

This clip shows Jongho complimenting Mingi‘s legs after he made a self-depricating comment.
I agree!! The teezers are always lifting each other up – like this moment Jongho is pouring on the compliments and when Mingi tries to put himself down Jongho says no – nice legs. 🥹 pic.twitter.com/OTKup9zgMR

And it’s not just about weight either. During a livestream, Hongjoong calmly and eloquently clapped back at someone who had made a hurtful comment towards Yeosang.

Other commenters shared how the members’ words and behavior has positively impacted them and their own self-image, and how appreciative they are of the members supporting each other.
Please this one genuinely made me tear up because I have body dysmorphia but seeing this makes me feel better and love myself a bit more. We need idols talking more about body positivity in this industry
