Yet, it has been riddled with controversy from no comebacks since the last tour, lazy marketing when it comes to the graphics, and also concerns about the members preparation.

Ahead of the tour starting, YG Entertainment’s Japan X account shared some merch that would be available at the DEADLINE pop-up store. Although there was no confirmation that it was the only products and that it was for all the global stops, it sparked major reactions and was hit with a lot of criticism.

In the comments, netizens couldn’t get over how “lazy” and “sh*t” the designs were, saying that the company must be joking with them to give such low quality merchandise without any thought.
