On the 8th, J-HOPE posted a photo of wearing a shirt on his Instagram, which was criticized by some internet users.
This is because the pattern printed on the shirt in the photo was a condom. The community texts that shared the photos of J-HOPE said, "BTS has a lot of teenage fans, but did I have to wear a shirt with a condom printed on it?", "The costume is sensational", " Many comments such as "dirty" were seen.
However, the shirt was created by the brand "PLEASURES" launched by American designer Alex James and the British retailer END, and is intended to encourage correct contraception.
Regarding this, the END side explained on the official homepage, "I made it with the theme of correct contraception and printed various graphics and patterns on the product. It means to support a safe, positive and responsible sexual relationship." "We approached the subject with humor with the intent of encouraging safe and enjoyable sexual relationships. Some products use bananas to provocatively interpret the correct use of condoms."
When the meaning of the shirt was conveyed, public opinion was immediately reversed. One internet user said, "Thanks to J-HOPE, I learned about a good campaign. The more I know, the more BTS seems to have a concept." Another internet user praised, "It's meaningful clothes. I didn't think I was an idol with this kind of consciousness."
