The large poster displayed photos of the QWER members with their faces completely covered in red paint.

QWER is a girl group consisting of four members, produced by YouTuber Kim Gye-ran under the subsidiary of 3Y Production, Tamago Production.

The band-type girl group, consisting of female creators Chodan, Magenta, Hina, and Siyeon, has captured attention with their distinctive concept and powerful image.

Despite the fact that the incident happened only a day after their comeback was announced, it still managed to shock many. As the photos went viral, netizens had a range of reactions and opinions.

There were speculations among netizens that the image may have been a mere prank or a deliberate marketing tactic. However, there were also concerns raised by some, stating that it could potentially be a targeted attack by malicious anti-fans who harbor negative intentions towards QWER.

Tamago Production is presently examining the details surrounding the incident and intends to issue an official statement once the matter has been clarified.

Despite the occurrence, QWER is still moving forward with their scheduled return in September.
