No words yet from JYP.
ATEEZ fans want all the smoke with JYPE.
With no direct response from JYP regarding NMIXX's plagiarizing controversy, fans are taking it upon themselves to ask for accountability. On Monday, Korean Twitter trended #JYPapologizetoATEEZ as well as #JYP_해명해_사과해_인정해 which means 'JYP explain yourself, apologize, and acknowledge'.
Fans were dismayed to find striking similarities of themes and motifs in NMIXX's debut MV that have long been established to connotate ATEEZ's 'universe' and 'storyline'. Despite repeated requests from fans for an explanation, JYPE has not made any official statement in regards to the controversy.
One fan on Twitter succinctly phrased the distress caused by writing:
YIKES.
