A weird fansigning where things like varsity jackets, baseball jerseys of any specific team, and toy guns are not allowed, but where male underwear can be put in as fansign items.

It was identified as male underwear. The members had picked it up by mistake, causing the mood to turn sour. Later on, another member joked about the matter in order to lighten the mood.

It was black in color. The member [who picked it up] was like, ‘what is this?’ and as soon as he picked it up, the mood turned sour immediately. The other members joked around like ‘hey, this isn’t it hehe,’ to lighten the mood.

Fans were naturally upset, as staff usually check the boxes and rejects inappropriate items, they wondered how the underwear managed to get past the staff. They also criticized the fan who put it in.
아니 근데 ㄹㅇ 팬싸템에 팬티 집어넣는 거 진짜 뭔 정신머리로 사는거임? 애들이 그때 잘 넘어가서 다행이지 웃다가 팬싸장 갑자기 싸해진 거 생각남
멤버가 착해서 좋게 넘어간거지 나였으면 책상 다 뒤집어엎고 그거 박박 찢고 당장 경찰 불렀음 https://t.co/mivoSvjNB2— 고당도 (@mitzzikudasai) July 22, 2024
“What is the reason for having internal staff at the fansigns? Did they even catch who put it in? After that incident, they didn’t sift through the items the next day either, asking fans to put their items in the boxes by themselves without having any staff watching over at the front… The f*cking b*tch who put the underwear in, you should get a grip on your life too. You can be identified as a sexual offender not simply by your words and actions.”
“No, but FR, just what are they thinking by putting underwear in? It’s a relief the members just let it go, but I remember how everyone’s laughters just disappeared in a second. The members let it go because they are nice. If it were me, I’d flip the tables, rip it up, and call the police.”
Their action can be considered sexual harassment, given that the members could have felt embarrassed or violated by the underwear. Fans are absolutely furious at the culprit.
