“Like Selling Used Bathwater” — HYBE Group’s “Nasty *ss” Upcoming Brand Deal Sparks Boycott Plans
Due to their global popularity, KATSEYE have landed multiple deals with various brands. Most recently, the group has gained attention for their deal with GAP, going viral in the process.

Recently, the group were announced a new partnership with 5Gum, a chewing gum brand that has worked with celebrities before in the past. However, this collaboration has stood out for a few reasons.
First, 5Gum x KATSEYE Senses Collection appears to be highly limited due to the inclusions, the first of which is a UV-activated glass marble made to match the colors of a specific member’s eyes.

Next, the packs will also include a gum wrapper with a kiss mark from the member, along with a room spray that each member supposedly sang into to collect the “scent” of their breath.


While some of these items may be exaggerated, many people believe that this collaboration is unusual and inappropriate, particularly given the ages of the members.

okay this is weird asf for every member, but especially with yoonchae. She’s a minor. Why would you want to have her kiss mark? https://t.co/fRmD2QrTga pic.twitter.com/1icAI6pI2b

I’m sorry but we have to make this flop. If this turns in good results, they will continue exploiting these girls, & market them towards creeps. This is unhealthy & unacceptable. Especially considering the fact that half of the group is teenagers, one of them being a minor https://t.co/sB8PpDE23A
