Considering what a fan he is of the sport, it’s perfect. His fans will be a giant soccer team!

The other items are a Muffler + Photo Card Set and Whistle Key Ring + Photo Card Set. The Whistle Key Ring especially has caught the attention of women fans.

While the whistle could be included to match the sporty theme, as whistles are also used in officiating sports events, women immediately found another use for it. The whistle key ring is a self-defense item used to call for help when one is in danger. As women are increasingly concerned for their safety, this merchandise is greatly useful.

Whether this was Minho’s attention or not, it wouldn’t surprise fans, as he recently made feminist comments. Read more below.
