Each of the designs are beautiful and meaningful in their own ways, but one member’s in-ear stood out more than the rest: San’s. His design went with a black and dark blue theme, featuring the letter “S” on one ear and an umbrella design on the other.
Most ATINYs could tell you what the significance is of an umbrella to San and, respectively, Wooyoung. The two members are known for their incredibly close bond and friendship and go by the ship name “WooSan”, which translates to “umbrella” in Korean (우산). The two even have matching tattoos of the Latin phrase “Amicus ad aras”, which translates to “friends until death” or “a friend until the end”. It’s a saying that San has long shared with Wooyoung as evidence of just how close and important their relationship with each other is.
San & Wooyoung (ATEEZ)Because of this, fans immediately assumed that San had chosen the umbrella design specifically as homage to his friendship with Wooyoung.

However, San recently revealed that he actually wasn’t the one who chose the umbrella design! He shared that he asked the designers to choose something that represents him, and they ended up going with an umbrella because that’s what his name translates to in Hanja.
San about his new in-ear:
“Honestly I didn’t think much abt the design. I just asked them to pick something that represents me. I didn’t design it, I got them designed it for me.
Then they put my hanja “伞 – săn (umbrella)” & I said “Oh it’s pretty. I’ll use it well”.#산 #최산 pic.twitter.com/lBgnVvx1yV— for Choi San. (@allforsan710) March 20, 2024
Despite this revelation, though, fans can’t help but think that San agreed to the design in part because of his friendship with Wooyoung. The two of them never shy away from showing affection for each other in any way possible, so having an in-ear design with a dedication to their friendship would be far from abnormal for him!
i find it interesting that when they thought of san they thought of an umbrella instead of mountain https://t.co/Iaz5mAt41s

I honestly don’t know when woosan became a dirty word in the fandom. They have such a beautiful bond. But some people seem ready to fight anytime it is brought up. They use the term woosan themselves with San even running over to Wooyoung recently to cutely pose under an umbrella https://t.co/rKW9P9NDVU pic.twitter.com/lRjG3zxhdd

OMFG
YES SAN MEANS UMBRELLA IN CHINESE
But it also means Woosan in Korean and he definitely is aware of that since they were the ones who made and actively used that ship name.
So… both can be true and the symbol very likely has a double meaning for him. STOP ARGUING https://t.co/L7GeeGXqra

Whatever the case may be, the in-ears turned out gorgeous, for San and the rest of ATEEZ’s members!
