People really don’t understand the severity of this 😭. Ateez Official has never used a thumbnail like this before, and no professional company would. When they don’t use solo thumbnails, they always make sure every single member is included even if it’s difficult, they adjust angles so all eight members can be seen like the thumbnais shown here, because Ateez is an eight member group. What they did today is honestly more disrespectful than issues like lack of lines or schedules, that’s how severe it feels. Companies don’t do something like this unless there’s an intention behind it, whether it’s to punish a member or erase their presence from the group. Not only did they completely hide Yeosang in this part, but they also chose it as the thumbnail and ensured all other members were visible, so yeosang can't be shown since he's invisible in that part. That’s why this feels so targeted and malicious because they could have easily chose a different frame, like in the last screenshot here, if they insisted on using that moment. We are genuinely worried lol, and Atinys should be too. This cannot just be a harmless mistake, we’re talking about a professional company. We really need an explanation about what’s going on with Yeosang. This level of mistreatment is crazy and makes any fan with common sense not understand what's going on is not normal. @kqent@ATEEZofficialjp@ATEEZstaff TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING
to be very honest this game has gotten so fucking boring ever since the 2nd anniversary banner. event games are shit & boring. stories are stale. no new orbits for combat players. no new ways to farm. valko brought a sense of fresh air to the game and now its gone again
Honestly as a yeodoongie I'm GREEDY I want it all, I want everything, everything must be for yeosang, yeosang model, yeosang lines, yeosang covers, yeosang solo schedules, yeosang full employment, I need him to be busy and happy in every second of his career because I miss him
i was trying to stay off twt but as someone who has been working in the advertising industry for 4+ years—seeing his ads still up on tiktok, fb, times square, is SO mind boggling to me i just NEED to go on a rant about how this typically works
so let me go on a tangent 🧵
Since the official discord is lowkey locked atm yall come join the one im in! We're at 18+ only server and we've all been pretty upset with infolds actions today

Are you upset at @Love_Deepspace about their decision to remove Valko AFTER stating that they wouldn't previously? I've got some ways for you to show it.
Look in the comments below for things you can do.

When people sometimes text me I don't respect this company, I remain silent so as not to cause a conflict. But I truly don't respect this company, and I'm deeply disappointed by what's happening because of evil people and stupid decisions
Petition to Reconsider Valko's Cancellation
Dear Love and Deepspace Development Team,
@Love_Deepspace
First of all, thank you for listening to your community and for being willing to communicate with us so openly. We appreciate the effort and sincerity behind your letter.
However, we respectfully ask you to reconsider the decision to cancel Valko.
Many of us have been waiting for the sixth Love Interest for a very long time. From the very beginning of the game, there have been six Stellactrum colors, leading many players to believe that one day all six would become complete Love Interests. Valko's reveal wasn't just an announcement—it was the fulfillment of something we had been anticipating for a long time.
After seeing his trailer, learning about his personality, and catching glimpses of his role in the story, we became genuinely excited to meet him. We want to experience his journey, discover his story, and see how he grows alongside the other Love Interests. Please don't take that opportunity away from us.
We understand that some members of the community had concerns, and we respect that every player deserves to be heard. At the same time, we hope you will also hear the voices of those of us who were excited for Valko and wanted to welcome him into Linkon City.
We believe that the work already poured into his character by your writers, artists, animators, composers, voice actors, and developers deserves to be experienced rather than abandoned. Valko is more than just a new banner—he represents years of creativity, passion, and dedication from your team.
If necessary, we would rather wait longer for his release than lose him forever. Delaying his debut or adjusting future plans would be far easier to accept than cancelling him completely.
Please reconsider this decision. Let Valko's story be told. Let us meet the sixth Love Interest we have been waiting for, and allow Linkon City to continue growing with all of its planned characters.
Thank you for taking the time to read our message and for considering the feelings of every part of your community.
With respect,
The Players Who Still Believe in Valko

It's unfair to all of us who had already done the math, saved up, planned to spend money, and were excited about Valko's release.
"We'll listen to you" THEN DON'T CANCELL HIM?????
BRING VALKO BACK, CANCELL HIM IN THE CN SERVER IF YOU WANT, BUT BRING HIM BACK.
