“False Advertisement”: MOAs Disappointed By TXT’s U.S. Tour Merch

They feel scammed.

TXT are currently on the U.S. leg of their 2024 TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT : PROMISE>, which kicked off in Tacoma on May 14.

Another aspect of tours that fans look forward to besides seeing the idols live is the merchandise. MOAs anticipated scoring some of the new merch, as the designs were so cute.

Yet, after some MOAs purchased the fan-favorite T-shirt, they realized something was wrong. It was different from the one we had seen advertised, as the white stitching was missing. MOAs took to social media apps to express their disappointment.

MOAs aren’t only disappointed by the design difference but also the quality. It looks and feels so cheap, although it is $49 USD! It’s not unheard of for a tour’s merch to be slightly different depending on location. The shirt fans buy and receive is the “U.S. version” of the T-Shirt, not the original Korean design that MOAs had seen advertised online before the tour.

However, not only are the TXT members wearing these original versions during the encore to entice MOAs to buy rather than the “U.S. versions,” but the picture on the merchandise flyers and banner at the U.S. tour stops for the U.S. T-shirt listing is the one with the white stitching. So, it is indeed a false advertisement. Some were even told by venue staff that the tour dates would be on the back, and it’s plain.

It’s no wonder MOAs are disappointed.
