HYBE’s Latest Announcement Hit With Major Criticism

HYBE‘s latest announcement for TWS has sparked major criticism.

On February 4, HYBE’s account for merchandise shared some new products for TWS.
2025 TWS 1ST FANMEETING <42:CLUB> Official Merch.

The items included a variety of “school-themed” products, whether it was clothing, varsity jackets, photocard holders, and more.
Yet, when the tweet was shared, while some liked the cute nature of the products, most seemed to hit back at HYBE for the lack of creativity and design of the products. Some even said that it had helped them save money, and many wanted them to change the design team.

I ended up looking at the model more than the merch.

Seriously, this is legendary in a bad way… Do they even have a design team?
