In the photo, the members are seen wearing Christmas apparel appropriate for the concept “Christmas In August.”

Although the members looked handsome in the photos, some netizens took exception to several of the member’s outfits.

Netizens criticized the group’s stylist and the group’s concept. Many felt the stylist’s interpretation of the concept was too literal and berated their selection of outfits.

• “Is it because it’s Christmas in August? This is too literal, ㅠㅠ.”
• “Seriously, is he wearing a kitchen sponge?…”
• “I thought ‘Sponge’ as soon as I saw him. I guess everyone feels that way.”
• “What is up with the hooded scarf? I haven’t seen that since Elementary school. It’s horrible.”
• “Wow, what is this?”
• “Seriously, I’m crying…ㅠ.”
• “If their stylist is famous, I’m sure they spent a lot of money…”
• “Has the stylist taken up knitting?”
• “Just looking at them makes me hot.”
