i stanned ateez for their talent, but i fell in love with them when i saw a glimpse of how they are as people, and how they treat each other like family. i fell in love with the way hongjoong acts like their pillar, putting on a brave face even when he himself is doubtful or +

scared. i fell in love with seonghwa's softness and how caring and worrying for the others seems to be innate in him. i was lured in by yunho's charms - the way he's just so bubbly and light hearted in nature, and how wooyoung's energy never fails to light up the room +

i loved yeosang for his bluntness and effortless humor. how he's so genuine and respectful, shy but diligent. he's been working hard and gaining more confidence lately, and i'm so proud of him for that. i got soft for san when i watched atz treasure series and heard about his +

another thing for me to thank ateez for is the friends i've come to know here on atiny twitter - friends who have now become a big part of my life and treat as family. i will forever be grateful #ATEEZ #에이티즈 https://twitter.com/atinychn/status/1296899392570449920?s=19
