ATEEZ’s San “Flips All The Haters Off” In New MV

ATEEZ‘s San previously garnered attention for his styling with a “controversial black glove” that only partially covered his hand. When he would pose with a peace sign, it appeared he was giving the middle finger or flipping the camera off.

In January, San apologized via SBS power FM radio program Cultwo Show. He explained, “That was definitely not intentional. It’s just accidental. That is the glove that I frequently wear on stage, but it only has two fingers, the thumb, and the forefinger. When I make a V sign wearing that glove, the forefinger sometimes disappears. But I had no intention of flipping anyone off!” 

But I do feel very apologetic toward fans who may have been on the receiving end of that accidental occurrence, so I personally would be okay if on a really bad day, if our fans are feeling really pissed, they can give me a middle finger once in a while!

They talked about "San's shocking V sign".
He explained that he didn't curse & it's happened to him alot bcz he had to wore a glove who only covered his index finger & thumbs. Since the black color same with outfit it can't be seen clearly and made ppls missunderstand. #최산 pic.twitter.com/rVdFqaLAlR

Now, the glove is back!

ATEEZ just made their comeback with new album, THE WORLD EP.FIN : WILL, including the title track “Crazy Form.” In the MV, San gets carried off by what appears to be the central government that wants to stop the Black Pirates.

And as he’s being dragged away, he raises his hand to make the V sign, and he’s wearing the iconic glove, so it appears he’s flipping them off the dystopian government.

ATINYs love that San brought back the glove, and he’s intentionally giving the middle finger this time.
