Changbin caught the attention of many STAYs with his infamous and provocative T-shirt featuring a design of the Statue of Liberty engaging in a rather unconventional activity with a T.Rex.

Amidst the laughter and amusement sparked by the stark differences in their attire, some STAYs took to social media to share their thoughts.
One fan even humorously lamented the price of Changbin's shirt, expressing a desire to match with him but finding it difficult to justify the cost.
However, it was Felix's choice of accessory that truly captivated fans.
