ENHYPEN’s Shocking Concert Merch Slammed By Outraged Netizens
ENHYPEN’s latest concert merchandise has sparked heavy criticism online after netizens discovered one unexpected item — confetti — being sold as an official good.
The post discussing it quickly went viral on TheQoo, surpassing 48,000 views and drawing nearly 500 comments in less than a day.
According to the listing, the “confetti set” includes a small pouch, an acrylic keychain, a signed confetti piece, ten regular confetti pieces, and a photo — all priced at ₩18,000 KRW (about $12.60 USD).
The idea behind the item is that even fans who don’t have standing tickets at the concert can still “take home” their own confetti.
However, the reaction online was far from positive. Many Korean netizens found the concept absurd, accusing the company of exploiting fans with overpriced and meaningless merchandise. Others expressed disbelief that something as simple as concert confetti — which is typically free and showered onto the audience — was being turned into a paid item.
Some also pointed out that the design looked cheap, comparing it to secondhand goods sold on local apps.
- “Has the company lost its mind with that price? What the hell.”
- “Feels kind of ridiculous.”
- “Even when there are scandals, and even when the merch is ugly AF, fans still buy… So the company must love that.”
- “It’s just thin paper… They should just give it away for free.”
- “That company must seriously be broke.”
- “It looks so cheap, and it’s not even something they actually use during the concert.”
- “With ENHYPEN, it feels like they’re trying to squeeze fans dry.”
