HYBE’s Controversial Album Inclusion: Idols Wearing Fabric Draws Mixed Reactions

The publication of details for the upcoming release “Romance: Untold”by HYBE boy group ENHYPEN has recently sparked interest.

Specifically, it was announced that in addition to the usual inclusions such as photocards, photo books, and CDs, the initial print of ENHYPEN’s albums will also feature fabric pieces worn by the members themselves.

A total of 150,000 pieces will be produced using recycled costumes worn by ENHYPEN. As a result, the initial 150,000 albums will contain these unique fabric pieces.

Despite the public’s initial confusion and discomfort upon discovering this unconventional album inclusion, there were also some who pointed out that this is not an isolated incident and has happened before. However, many still found the concept of incorporating actual fabric pieces worn by idols to be unsettling and objectifying.

Some comments from internet users are listed below:

  • The disrespect towards them is incredible, this is a whole other level of dehumanization and undervaluing their efforts in making the album…
  • HYBE believes that fans would appreciate something like this… It’s quite strange how these individuals perceive their fans.
  • It’s okay… there have been things like this in the past, so I don’t think it’s something worth criticizing. It’s a little creepy, but it’s not like there are other uses for old stage costumes
  • Although it is not being sold for profit, it is still included in the album, making it a valuable souvenir for fans.
  • They do this in sports fandoms as well
  • This is weird as hell… Imagine if it’s the clothing of female idols. Seriously, what is wrong with HYBE
  • Is this at least better than having to print new photocards?
