Recently, there has been a debate on the internet regarding the choreography of one of the Street Man Fighter participants, Vata from the We Dem Boyz (WDBZ) crew for ZICO's "New Thing".
Through one of the missions in Street Man Fighter, Vata is known to win among other crew leaders for his choreography, which is also made in a special video version and is viral to date.
However, the opening moves used by Vata in the choreography sequence for "New Thing" are alleged to have copied ATEEZ's choreography for the song "Say My Name", which was released in 2019.
Not only getting a response from fans, ATEEZ also indirectly satirized this problem through various opportunities by doing 'biting' movements, either before or after showing their choreography.
The 'Biting' movement is a movement that displays the 'equals' sign ('=')'. This movement is done by the owner of the choreography/movement to another person or group who plagiarized their choreography without permission.
Through one of the music festivals, ATEEZ member Wooyoung made a 'biting' move before taking a dance break for the song "Say My Name". Also on the music stage, other ATEEZ members also showed a biting movement during the dance break for the song "The Real". In addition, Wooyoung was also seen doing the same thing in one of the promotional videos.
Strong criticism from ATEEZ and ATINY so far has not received any response from Vata, as the leader of WDBZ who made the controversial choreography for the song "New Thing". (www.kpopchart.net)
