(G) I-DLE played the Red Cross controversy, and fans were furious
During a recent stage performance, the costumes of (G)I-DLE became the focus of controversy, especially the use of the Red Cross emblem on the clothes they were wearing, which directly sparked public dissatisfaction.
The incident took place on the stage of Otoyin's "Klaxon" on the 19th, and the members wore clothes printed with "LIFEGUARD" with super shorts and tight tank tops, and although the design may have been intended to create a summer beach atmosphere, it turned out to spark discussions about professional image and clothing suitability.
The reaction from fans was swift and enthusiastic, with voices online chanting "This is simply the objectification of the lifeguard profession", and it is undeniable that this reaction also reflects the public's expectations of the image of idols.
Legal consequences of improper use of the Red Cross emblem
According to the Korean Red Cross Society, unauthorized use of the Red Cross emblem can result in fines of up to 10 million won. Such a legal requirement is not unfounded, and behind it is a serious protection of the logo.
Although CUBE Entertainment, the agency of (G)I-DLE, said after the incident that it was confirming the situation, from a legal point of view, it could face legal consequences if it did not first apply for approval to use the logo. Although the Korean Red Cross Society is relatively tolerant and believes that this may be an unintentional mistake, the situation has sparked a lot of discussion.
CUBE Entertainment's response and follow-up
In the face of this incident, CUBE Entertainment's response appeared somewhat passive. They said they were confirming the situation and planned to communicate with the Korean Red Cross. This attitude made fans feel less positive, and many people thought that as a management company, they should have fully investigated and prepared for the incident before it happened.
As for the follow-up of the incident, the Korean Red Cross said that it would send a legal document to CUBE Entertainment to remind them to comply with the relevant laws and regulations. In the process, many people began to pay attention to the impact of the event on the future activities of (G)I-DLE, whether it would be limited because of this event, and even affect their image and fan base.
Netizens' expectations and reflections on the image of idols
This incident not only caused (G)I-DLE to face an image crisis, but also made fans begin to reflect on the relationship between idols and the public. On social media, many people began to say that although idols are public figures, they also need to be protected from casually behaving in an inappropriate way.
Aftermath of this incident
As the incident fermented, many people began to pay attention to the possible aftermath of this incident, and the focus of discussion was not only on how (G)I-DLE responded to this crisis, but also on how the entire idol industry could better comply with laws and regulations. Whether there will be more conflicts between idols and companies because of this incident has become a hot topic among netizens.

In this incident, the topic of idols and social responsibility sparked a deeper discussion. Fans are gradually realizing that idols are not only their entertainment pastime, but also part of the culture of society.
