A similar case previously involved Ina, a member of the rookie group BADVILLAIN. Ina was criticized after wearing a black shirt featuring the Ka'bah adorned with crystals in a dance challenge video with Chloe Young. This further intensified public reaction, especially since the shirt was worn as a crop top, exposing Ina's midriff.
Negative comments flooded the post, leading BPM Entertainment to remove the video from all their social media platforms. In response to the controversy, Ina immediately issued an apology through the Bubble app. She claimed she was not aware that the symbols had deep religious meanings.
This controversy also implicated the South Korean clothing brand, 604SERVICE, which produced the t-shirts. On Thursday, November 28, 2024, the brand issued an official statement via Instagram. They apologized and withdrew the controversial product from their official site and circulation.Â
