"Racism No" ATEEZ San, Yoona, and Han Ye-seul explained the controversy

San attended the fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show in Milan, Italy, on the 2nd (local time).
However, suspicions were raised that the mountain was racist. The seats of the other participants were covered with cushions, because there were no cushions only in the seats where the mountain sat, and the seats themselves seemed to be sandwiched between other participants.
Also, the mountain's costumes became a problem. The mountain wore a baroque sculpture-inspired top, wide flared pants, and stunt derby shoes. However, some fans have argued that providing genderless looks to Asians is itself racist.
In particular, the controversy grew even more because the incident occurred after Yoona and Han Ye-seul suffered racial damage in Europe.
Yoona was invited to the 77th Cannes International Film Festival's red carpet event in May as a jewelry brand ambassador, but a female bodyguard stopped Yoona from greeting her fans, which was controversial.
Han Ye-seul and her husband went on a honeymoon to Italy and booked an expensive terrace seat, but the hotel lied that it was full and revealed that they did not give her a reserved seat.
As the controversy grew, the mountain directly explained through live broadcasts.
He liked "It was the best of the 10 clothes the brand had prepared. It was an opportunity to show various sides, and I wanted to try Haute Couture and Altamoda when I thought about the identity of the show. I thought it was a great outfit for contemporary art and I was also grateful for giving me the main outfit for last year's show. I wanted to be recognized fashionably through challenging outfits with the opposite atmosphere of the Alta Sartoria outfit."
Then "I talked to Grandpa Dolce (Domenico Dolce) over dinner, and he said good things, saying, "'Italians love you.'" That's how I sat on the cushion. I'm sad that there seems to be a misunderstanding."
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.
