JYP's Styling Blunders Spark Protest Truck Outrage — Find Out Why

Stray Kids, renowned for their distinctive concepts and styling, have recently sparked controversy among their devoted fan base. Fans, known as Stays, who appreciate the group's unique identity, are expressing dissatisfaction with the group's recent fashion choices, particularly pointing out grievances with the adoption of multiple belts in their attire.

Makeup and Hair Fiasco at 2023 MBC Music Festival

The discontent reached a pinnacle at the 2023 MBC Music Festival, where fans raised concerns about the group's makeup and hair styling. Criticisms include complaints about overly ashy makeup tones and oily, wet-look hair, a style commonly associated with darker concepts. Stays appear to have grown weary of this approach, demanding a shift in the group's aesthetic.

Protest Trucks Roll In

In an unprecedented move, frustrated fans have taken their grievances to the doorstep of JYP Entertainment. Protest trucks adorned with messages denouncing the styling choices have been stationed outside the company's building, urging for a reevaluation of Stray Kids' image.

Netizens Echo Fans' Sentiments

Netizens have joined the chorus of disapproval, expressing solidarity with Stray Kids fans and even extending the call for change to their own biases' companies. The discontent resonates across online platforms, with fans sharing their experiences and frustrations with the current state of styling in the K-pop industry.

• Whoa, please join me in my bias's company.
• I want to cheer on a truck for the first time today. Kindly also move in front of BIT&BOOT.
• Whoa, they and NMIXX have similar stylisties. Madness. That place is also insane. Fans have to be burning hot.
• The jokes are funny, but also depressing.
• With the same words, kindly visit our company as well.
• You people wear it yourselves! That's what I was going to say!But such clothing is actually worn by their stylist. It's really funny.

As the protest gains momentum, JYP Entertainment has yet to respond to the mounting criticisms and demands for change. The future of Stray Kids' styling remains uncertain, with fans eagerly awaiting a response from the entertainment giant.
