ITZY’s Ryujin is facing backlash over her outfit choice in the group’s latest comeback teasers.

The group is preparing to release a brand new album, marking a highly anticipated return after a long break. Promotions are already underway, beginning with an album trailer and continuing with a series of concept-image teasers.

While international fans largely praised the visuals and styling, one particular detail has sparked strong criticism online.

Ryujin’s teaser image went viral on Threads, with attention quickly shifting to her outfit.

The idol is seen wearing a black crop top featuring white hand-shaped cutouts across the chest. The unusual design has divided opinions, with some netizens reacting very negatively to the look.

How come (JYP Entertainment’s) 2nd Division is able to find such ugly clothes all the time. So disgusting, too.

Despite the criticism, others have defended the styling, pointing out that bold and unconventional fashion has become a staple in K-Pop concepts.
