Now, the group’s designs and outfits have sparked a whole new controversy. According to netizens, the girl group’s design caters to the incels in their fandom.

Netizens felt that the designs’ emphasis on the character’s crotch was emblematic of this. Recently, incels in Korea were ridiculed for their disturbing reaction to Y-Zone safety shorts.
Netizens criticized HYBE by calling them old men and brought up the fact that many of HYBE’s executives were from Nexxen, a game company. Game companies and forums are synonymous with incel breeding grounds in Korea.
- “Those ajussi’s in that picture with executives are the ones who made this, huh?”
- “Smells like Nexxen.”
- “Huh? It sucks how they emphasize the characters’ Y-Zones.
- “Huh? This sucks.”
- “Seriously, all virtual girl idols cater to men.”
- “As expected from f*cking old men.”
- “Way to remind us that you guys are from a game company. You guys all have no taste.”
- “They are seriously so obsessed with the Y-Zone, lol.”
