Netizens were disgusted after ATEEZ‘s recent Instagram post was flooded with racist and homophobic comments.
Following their successful Coachella performances, ATEEZ was invited to throw the first pitch at a Dodgers game. Yunho showcased his athleticism as he was chosen to make the throw but was supported by fellow members Yeosang, Wooyoung, and Jongho.

After the amazing opportunity, the ATEEZ official Instagram account shared some photos of the occasion, including those of all four members who attended.

When the photos were posted, it quickly gained a lot of attention.
Sadly, while the post was shared to ATEEZ’s official account, where most comments are from ATINY, fans were angry to see a stream of racist and homophobic remarks towards the members.
Of course, ATINY made sure to fill the comments with positivity, hitting back at the negative comments and even non-fans sharing their anger at the awful nature of the hate comments under the post.
Considering the scale of the event and how happy the members were, it’s sad to see negativity trying to overshadow the huge accomplishment.
