BLACKPINK is facing a bizarre merch controversy after fans spotted what looks like “BLACK D*CK” merch floating around online.
The situation started when some fans ordering K-pop merchandise off cheaper sites like Shein ended up with what seemed to be a knock-off product. Instead of official BLACKPINK merch, at least one person claimed to have received a shirt labeled “BLACK D*CK,” sparking a viral reaction on Reddit.
Netizens wasted no time joking about the typo, with comments quickly surfacing on comedy and mildly infuriating threads.

However, some pointed out this might be Photoshop rather than a real product. The “BLACK” part of the tag looks much crisper than the “D*CK” text.
