Im a fan of Ateez, & while i didnt enjoy their intro stage a lot (I didnt have high expectations heading in either, just bc theyd been so busy with a cb I didnt see how theyd be able to prepare enough) it was still a little crushing to see them rank 5th with fan votes. 1st place: Stray Kids 17,807.787 points 4th place: BTOB 2,969.431 The use of chain fences was cool, giving the stage a maze-like appearance.

Why film for 30+ consecutive hours?? 1) 1st place: ATEEZ 2,155.172 points (1,321.839 + 833.333) [1] Sadly iKON came last, just because of some knetz and their hate for YGE for no apparant reason.
