ATEEZ “Win” As Their “Stolen” Dance Move Is Immortalized In “Just Dance 2024”

Last year, ATEEZ were involved in plagiarism allegations involving one of the dancers who appeared on Street Man Fighter.
ATEEZ | KCON Thailand 2023 During the dance competition show, WDBZ crew member Vata was accused of plagiarism after being tasked to create choreography for Zico‘s track “New Thing.” Many viewers found the introduction of his dance to have a strong similarity to the choreography found in the chorus of ATEEZ’s track “Say My Name.”

Vata ultimately apologized, though he believed “the choreography its being compared to has a different transition and means something different entirely.” This denial led fans to protest, trending multiple tags related to the incident.
