Following the explosive success of Netflix's animated film 'K-Pop Demon Hunters,' fans have been eagerly requesting official merchandise for its fictional groups, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys.
In response to the overwhelming demand, Netflix recently unveiled its Saja Boys merchandise lineup, which currently includes sweaters, hats, and a poster. However, many Korean K-pop fans are disappointed by the collection, saying it falls short of expectations and quality.
Online netizens have pointed out that the current offering needs work, and many are suggesting that Netflix seek a Korean third-party company to create more merchandise, such as acrylic stands, keychains, and photocards, more aligned with the K-pop culture.
They commented:
".... It's going to be so hard for Netflix to earn money from merch like this..."
"So ugly..."
"Please learn from Korean merch. lol."
"Even just releasing the shirts the characters wore in the movie would've been better."
"They should hire a Korean third party to make their merch."
"That's so bad..."
"At least create acrylic stands."
"They have no artistic sensibility..."
"This is not the merch we wanted..."
"The Western art sense is so bad."
"Abby's ab poster is funny, though."
"They suck..."
"What's with the artwork... It's so ugly."
"Art design looks so tacky."
"The glow-in-the-dark shirt is cool. lol."
"I wonder if Western fans like them."
"Are they serious?"
"They should hire a Korean company to make the merch."
"I guess they don't want to earn money from merch. lol."
