Amid allegations that boy group ATEEZ member San was racist while attending the Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana show, San himself explained this.

On the 8th, San mentioned the Dolce & Gabbana event through a live broadcast of the fan community.

First of all, I liked the most of the 10 clothes the brand prepared for me about the clothes that are said to be difficult. I thought the clothes were cool in terms of contemporary art. I looked at it and thought, 'This deserves to be worn'. Also, when I thought about the identity of the show, I wanted to try it. I wanted to be recognized in fashion through challenging outfits" he said.

In addition, regarding the gaze that he sat uncomfortable without a cushion alone at the event "First of all, I sat like that. The person next to me was so big that I couldn't help it. Don't I have a physique, too. So I came forward a little bit and sat down."

Then "I'm a little sad because I think there's a lot of misunderstanding. It never happened, and I brought unforgettable memories. There was never such a thing. Don't get me wrong."



In addition, the mountain received a lot of attention from officials at the event, and Grandfather Dolce (Domenico Dolce) said over dinner that "'Italy loves you.'" He said a lot of good things.

Earlier on the 2nd (local time), San attended the fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show in Milan, Italy.



On this day, the mountain wore a top with Baroque sculptures as a motif, wide flare pants, and stunt derby shoes. However, some claimed that he dressed an Asian mountain in a somewhat esoteric style, calling it racist.

In addition, while other participants were sitting on cushions and watching in a comfortable position, the controversy grew even more as the mountain was caught feeling somewhat uncomfortable as if it were caught between the two people without a cushion alone.

Meanwhile, ATEEZ, which belongs to San, held a fan meeting at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 6th and 7th and met with fans.
