However, the designs are receiving bad reactions from netizens for their “lazy” and overly simplistic style.

Netizens left a slew of comments criticizing the designs.

  • “It’s bad.”
  • “It’s hilarious to boycott something because it’s bad, but I totally get it. I’m most tempted to boycott when something looks terrible.”
  • “That pink… seriously…”
  • “At least number 22 (the long sleeve) is better… sigh…”
  • “Wow…”
  • “The lack of aesthetic sense is insane. They designed it like that and expect to charge 50,000 to 90,000 KRW ($36 to $65 USD).”
  • “Did they… put no effort into it?”
  • “I wouldn’t even buy it for 5,000 KRW ($3.6 USD).”
  • “No aesthetic sense…”
  • “It’s so bad.”
