A man has been arrested after making racist remarks to ATEEZ.
In the past two days, many artists were in Saudi Arabia for KCON 2022 SAUDI ARABIA.
Upon their arrival at the airport, the members of ATEEZ were then victims of an unpleasant situation.
Indeed, a man attacked the members by coming to utter racist insults against the boygroup, while following them to their vehicle, before posting his misdeed on his TikTok account.
The video quickly spread among fans on social media, who denounced the gesture and came to the defense of ATEEZ.
Thanks to the visibility given by the fans who were trying to have the culprit of these racist attacks punished, the video reached the Saudi government.
Following this, the video therefore attracted the attention of the authorities in Saudi Arabia.
This is how the man was finally arrested for his crimes.
According to the information: “Authorities arrested a citizen who uttered phrases that undermine public morals during the arrival of a Korean group to participate in an event in Riyadh.”
