When NCTzens/WayZenNis received the bracelets, they noticed something wasn’t quite right about the packaging.
Although the packaging was labeled WayV, it was just that: labeling. When the label was peeled back, the top of the box read NCT instead. That wasn’t the only thing that fans noticed.

On the back of the box, there was another label attached to it. When peeled back, it also read NCT beneath.

It’s unclear what the reasoning behind it was since the company hasn’t addressed it, but fans were left feeling unhappy.
