Most official K-Pop merchandise available to fans is usually quite unique, fun, or interesting, but there are times when it can be disappointing. Recently on Reddit, fans were asked to share what they think are some of the ugliest pieces of official K-Pop merchandise ever. Here are 10 of the most questionable or downright bizarre merch pieces ever mentioned!
1. Kyuhyun (Super Junior): purple egg t-shirt
Although Kyuhyun has an official Twitter account, he has never changed his profile picture from the default egg icon that comes with a new account. He made this drawing himself and hoped sm entertainment at least polish it, but they ended up printing it as is on the t-shirts!
2. Super M: 100 Short-sleeve shirt
While the little logo on the front of this t-shirt isn’t too bad, many fans think the design on the back screams “graphic design is my passion”, and not in a good way!
3. NU’EST: Velcro wristbands
After HYBE Labels acquired pledis entertainmentTheir fans think the quality of some of their products has gone down and used these simple velcro wristbands as an example!
4.SMTown: Broom
The story behind this broom that was sold to SMTown Coex is pretty much unknown, with speculations ranging from its use to clean up SM Entertainment’s dance studios to one that was previously owned by exoit is xiumin. Either way, it’s a strange but unique product!
5. Jeongyeon (TWICE): Pot Holder
Not only is this an unflattering image of Jeongyeon, but potholders tend to be used for very hot pans that end up melting or burning in the process. And who would want to put a pot on Jeongyeon’s face to begin with?
6. Taeyeon (Girls’ Generation): Objective phone case
This phone case isn’t the most offensive design on this list, but many fans still think it looks uncannily like a menstrual pad filled with blue or purple fluid used in an ad to show off its absorbency!
7. NCT: light bar
Of all the K-Pop lightsticks, many fans have long lamented that NCT’s green highlighter design with “NCT” written in a square around the light is one of the least appealing lightsticks.
8. Daesung (BIGBANG): ice cube tray
Apparently, this ice cube tray was molded from Daesung’s real nose and lips, which is quite unique, but also… Why?
9. SEVENTEEN: Bracelets
As with NU’EST’s velcro wristbands, these SEVENTEEN wristbands which were designed after Pledis Entertainment was acquired by HYBE Labels were simply not up to par with fans, and many articles were even created comparing them to previous bracelets and of the highest quality of the group. commodity
10. EXO: Rings
Lastly, these plastic EXO member name rings seem cheap quality compared to some metal or higher quality rings, and look a bit more like children’s jewelry than anything a teenager or young adult would probably want to use.
