Back in March, HYBE announced plans to release “dissolvable” photocards in a bid to become more environmentally friendly.

HYBE To Release Photocards That Dissolve In Water — Netizens Criticize

So, after SEVENTEEN, a group under HYBE’s subsidiary Pledis Entertainment, released their latest album, 17 Is Right Here, on April 29, a netizen tried to “dissolve” one of the photocards. The video went viral and garnered negative reactions from fans.

My heart aches.

What are you doing…I honestly think calling him ‘Baby Dino’ is very ironic. If you really think he’s your baby, would you use his photocard for a test? I’m so dumbfounded. F*ck. I’m pissed. Do you respect him? Even if it’s a duplicate, you could sell the photocard rather than waste it like that…

I hope all of your bias’ cards are dissolvable cards and melt as soon as they arrive at your house.

However, many netizens did not agree with the fans’ position, saying there was nothing wrong with what the original poster of the video did.

Aren’t they just doing a test? Where’s the malicious intent?

– Netizen

I don’t care if my bias’ [photocard] gets soaked in water. I don’t care what other people do with their property. I don’t know what’s so heartbreaking about this. It’s okay if you feel bad for the money [wasted], but for your idol…I don’t get it. Did the idol himself get soaked in water? Did you get soaked in water?

– Netizen

It’s someone else’s photocard, what does it have anything to do with you all? Speechless.

What’s your take on the matter?
