Issues with certain gamers in the recent collaboration between PUBG: Battlegrounds and popular K-pop group NewJeans has sparked controversy. Although fans of both the game and the group initially celebrated the collaboration, some "perverted gamers" are dressing the NewJeans character avatars inappropriately, which has raised concerns.

One netizen brought to attention different captures of the NewJeans video game characters used by Battlegrounds users.

Korean netizens commented
"As soon as I heard the news about the PUBG collaboration, I was worried about sexual harassment, and as expected..."

"Why do these users do this?"

"Well, these characters don't even look like the members."

"They paid for the characters so I don't think it's a problem."

"I think the problem is with the people who abuse it."

"That's disgusting."

"It's just a game."

"ADOR made a bad decision with this one."

If you pay for the game you choose the avatars's outfits, it is impossible to force users to dress them decently, just ignore it

Have these people ever been sexually harassed themselves. This is not sexual harassment.
