There’s no denying that K-pop idols are the global champions of providing fans with unforgettable visual spectacles at every event. This year’s Waterbomb Festival in Tokyo was no exception, with the A-list line-up including MAMAMOO+, ATEEZ, EXO-SC, 2PM‘s Nichkhun & Jun.K, and a myriad of other high-profile artists.
However, despite the stiff competition, it was ATEEZ’s Mingi who captured the most attention — leaving fans and netizens swooning over his sizzling appearance and thrilling performance. You may ask, how did the ATEEZ rapper manage to outshine his contemporaries? The answer lies in a winning combination of charisma, talent, and a white shirt.
Adorning a simple outfit, Mingi walked on stage, embodying the perfect boy-next-door look. He sported a white shirt (destined to become see-through due to the water), jeans, stylish sunglasses, and two gold chains that added the right amount of bling to his ensemble. The outfit was simple yet incredibly effective, making fans’ hearts race at the sight of the rapper’s prepared look.
