Fans of global K-pop sensation BTS have expressed their disappointment with the recently released merchandise for Festa 2024, an annual celebration marking the group's debut anniversary.

Many fans took to social media and popular online communities to voice their grievances and point out issues such as uninspired design choices and unreasonable price tags.

Fans and even Korean netizens shared their thoughts on the new merchandise and commented
"Do they have a separate design team?"

"Where's the effort?"

"What's with the hot pink?"

"0 effort."

"Why does it seem like HYBE is putting less and less effort."

"I'm an ARMY but I wouldn't buy that even if it was 10,000 KRW (7.27 USD)."

"The prices are just too crazy."

"They definitely think fans are fools."

"The design is so bad."

"It's just a logo on a sweater and t-shirt but the logo isn't even pretty."

"The merch sucks but it's so expensive too."

"They did not consider BTS's status."

"Wow..."

"This is so disappointing."

Why would yall buy this when there are better merchandise even on Amazon....don't yall dare complain then buy them later....complain and let them stand on the shelf to let them know fans disapprove on it. Remember good or bad....when it comes to marketing stuff to buy in support of our idols...it's our choice as customers to choose....no one is forcing us so we can easily ignore it.

looks like their design team are on hiatus too while the group is in the military. so they just sent the print shop the logos to insert and print on the garments.
