It seemed to imply that Yuna was suited to household chores. The fansite also liked a comment on their Weibo account that Yuna “was full of wifey vibes.”
giving an idol dishwashing gloves to fulfill some kind of a housewife fantasy is degrading beyond human comprehension https://t.co/d1kovK5Wau pic.twitter.com/comYKuypGX

Fans have already begun tagging JYP Entertainment on X to call for her protection and better treatment. Fansign items are usually vetted by internal and external staff before being allowed on stage. As such, many are questioning the efficiency of JYP Entertainment’s staff.
