Changbin’s infamous and provocative T-shirt, which featured a design of the Statue of Liberty engaging in a rather unconventional activity with a T.Rex, caught the attention of many STAYs.

At the same time, Felix drew attention as he pulled a large Bible from his Louis Vuitton bag, eliciting mixed responses from fans.

Despite the amusement and laughter caused by the stark contrast in their clothing, a few STAYs turned to social media to express their opinions.

Despite the humorous tone, one fan expressed disappointment over the high price of Changbin’s shirt, stating a desire to match with him but struggling to justify the expense.

Yet, it was Felix’s selection of accessory that truly mesmerized supporters.
