K-pop idol merchandise often makes headlines. Fans get excited when new items drop. But the buzz isn’t always good and positive. Right now, 4th-gen boy group ENHYPEN is facing criticism over their recent concert merch. Many people got angry after spotting confetti as a product. This odd choice has ignited heated debates across social media. Read on to know more about it.
Why ENHYPEN’s Concert Merch Is Sparking Massive Backlash From Angry Netizens
The item is called a confetti set. It comes with a small bag, a plastic keychain, one signed confetti piece, ten regular confetti pieces, and a photo. It costs about 18,000 Korean won, which is around 1,115 Indian rupees. But why a confetti set? As per reports, it’s for fans who weren’t close to the stage. With this merch, they’ll feel like they were close. It sounds nice, but many people think it’s a bad deal and not worth the price.
On Korean websites like TheQoo, netizens shared their anger quickly. As per Koreaboo, some said the company must be crazy to charge so much for it. Others called it ridiculous and cheap-looking. Many pointed out that fans keep buying things, even bad ones, so the company keeps making them. Some even think the company might be short on money, which is why they’re selling such odd items.
For the unversed, the 4th gen K-pop group has faced merchandise problems before. As of now, the netizens are taking to their social media platforms and are demanding better. However, some fans love the idea as well. They find it adorable.
