(G)I-DLE has faced criticism for their new stage outfits. The controversy arose from their use of lifeguard uniforms featuring the Red Cross symbol.

In South Korea, the use of the Red Cross emblem is legally protected. According to Article 25 of the Korean Red Cross Act, the emblem cannot be used without approval from the Korean Red Cross.

A representative from the Korean Red Cross stated on the 22nd in a call with 'Dispatch' that no request for approval had been made by the agency or production company. They believe the misuse was due to ignorance rather than intent. The representative noted that intentional or habitual misuse could result in fines or penalties from the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Health and Welfare, but this does not apply to (G)I-DLE.

The Korean Red Cross plans to send an official notice to Cube Entertainment, informing them of the relevant laws and requesting measures to prevent recurrence.

(G)I-DLE performed their new song 'CLAXON' on KBS-2TV's 'Music Bank' on the 19th, with the members dressed in lifeguard-themed outfits featuring the Red Cross symbol, which sparked the controversy.
