Eric from THE BOYZ tried to buy Pepero (on November 11, a day to give Pepero, a stick-shaped chocolate snack, to loved ones) but ended up buying condoms that looked similar to the Pepero packaging. On November 11, Eric celebrated Pepero Day by uploading a photo of the Pepero he bought along with a handwritten letter on social media. He expressed his love, saying he could buy 4.03 million Pepero for his beloved THE B (THE BOYZ fans). He has been commemorating Pepero Day for about seven years for his fans. The problem was that what Eric bought was not Pepero but condoms designed to look like Pepero packaging. This was a special product created by the Korean convenience store GS25 and a condom company for Pepero Day, designed to be easily mistaken for Pepero. After realizing this, Eric wrote 'Happy Pepero Day' on a fan communication app, saying, 'Honestly, I'm so embarrassed right now that I might hide in a hole for about a week... I went to the convenience store in front of the dorm after work today and chose from where the Pepero was lined up... I didn't know. I didn't know what it was or that it was something like that.' He also apologized, saying, 'There were many Pepero, but since it was written Dear., I remembered THE BOYZ's 'Dear' and thought, 'If I write Dear.The B in the blank, it would be perfect!' and chose it... Sorry for surprising you.' He added, 'You understand my feelings, right? I hope the letter gets delivered well! Well then, I'm going to hide in a hole.' In response to this post, net users commented, 'This is really innocent,' 'This would confuse the convenience store staff too,' 'Rather likable,' and 'Even after knowing what it is, it still looks like Pepero.' *This article is based on local media coverage.
