So Hongjoong is big lee yeah yeah we been knew YeetusTheDeetus why are you bringing it up again

Maddox's live that's why

And I don't know the producers hence why it's headcanons

But Hongjoong is so obviously the youngest of the producer friendship group and probably the smallest

So all the producers see Hongjoong as like their little baby who they help grow and thrive

That being said

That doesn't mean they aren't gonna be MEAN AF

IF YOU THOUGHT HONGJOONG HAD IT BAD IN ATEEZ

IMAGINE BEING THE YOUNGEST SMOLLEST PRODUCER IN THAT LINE

Poor maknae Joong is constantly attacked

Particularly when he's in the middle of producing

It's mostly sneaky tickles BC they mostly end up actually working

But whenever they hang out you can guarantee before Hongjoong goes home he'll be tickled to tears

Eden likes to attack his tummy specifically

Maddox is a big fan of tickling his chin

The others tend to hold the small boy down BC he thrash

Whenever Eden and Joong are working alone and get mental blocks Eden's remedy is grabbing Joong and tickling his tummy until he gets inspiration

He'll even do this in front of ATEEZ

Which leads to large tickle fights

Eden is ultimate ler tho BC he is not ticklish at all so those large tickle fights tend to end with Eden on Joong while San and Woo get wrecked by the other members

BC that's just how it be

Hongjoong's laugh segments was recorded when Eden tased him on the sides while the mic was on

Hongjoong is Eden's child and he will love and protect him always but he will also fcking wreck him mercilessly Eden is not a kind ler

Maddox also bullies Joong with tickles a lot

He like raspberries on the neck so he'll just grab Joong and go to town

He likes to tackle him to the floor and sit on his back

He even tickled him with his own mullet at one point

As much as Maddox likes the neck and chin he also likes to attack Joongs sensitive back

Maddox is more ticklish than Eden but less ticklish than Joong so like,,,

Hongjoong stands no chance

And yet he still hangs out with them

I swear this man is slightly masochistic in that regard

So ye

Lee Joong Ler Producers
