Sony's latest sensation, *K-Pop Demon Hunters*, is facing a fiery backlash following the launch of its new merchandise. This week, Netflix's official store unveiled four new t-shirt designs aimed at capturing the excitement around the hit series, but instead, they provoked disappointment among fans and online commentators.

The t-shirt designs—featuring the show's main characters against plain or tie-dye backgrounds—were quickly criticized across social media platforms. Many fans took to the internet, expressing their feelings about the merch being "tacky" and "cheap-looking."

Despite some acknowledgment of the attempt to diversify the show's products, the overall reception was overwhelmingly negative. Comments flooded in highlighting the lack of creativity and taste in the designs, with one user noting, "Can they stop with that tie-dye design? It's so outdated! It looks like something straight out of the otaku abyss."

The uproar raises significant questions about Netflix's approach to K-Pop merchandise, with fans calling for better thought and creativity in designs that truly reflect the spirit of the show. As the debate rages on, it’s clear that fans want more than just basic prints—they’re looking for quality and substance. This incident could serve as a wake-up call for merchandise producers in the K-Pop genre.
