Stray Kids’ Stylist Tries To Censor Lee Know’s Shirt And Fans Can’t Stop Laughing
K-Pop idols are supposed to maintain a very clean-cut image, where they’re even expected to cover up tattoos on many broadcasts. But, ironically enough, idols are sometimes given inappropriate shirts to wear, that feature everything from vulgar language in English to explicit images. Whenever idols are given these “interesting” shirts, fans can’t help but wonder at the strange choice.
Some examples include TXT‘s Hueningkai wearing an angsty shirt that says, “F*ck you you f*cking f*ck.β
Or NATURE‘s Uchae wearing a very unique shirt.
At Stray Kids’ recent concert, MANIAC Seoul Special (UNVEIL 11), their stylists tried to avoid giving Lee Know a shirt with an inappropriate message.
As one of his many outfits, Lee Know looked casual but powerful in a white t-shirt and black pants.
But it didn’t take long for fans to find the t-shirt he’d worn, which referenced the English punk rock band, Sex Pistols.
The difference between Lee Know’s shirt and the original was that his stylist censored the first part of the group’s name.

Although it’s evident what the stylist was trying to do, fans were definitely curious about the decision since they were censoring the band name.
Pls that's the band's name π https://t.co/j0Wbhr7wdh

And if Stray Kids’ stylists really see this as a problem, fans are confused why they don’t just avoid shirts like this altogether.
they keep giving them shirts with cursewords (? sex isnt a curseword but u get the point) just to censor them with tape like π just find another shirt https://t.co/hKv1BA9C38

Fans certainly found the decision amusing, especially considering a clip of Lee Know cursing recently went viral.
