Fans immediately asked Lotte for clarification on the issue.

We ask that Lotte immediately addresses HAN Jisung’s exclusion and apologises for this blatant disrespect. All products showing only 7 members must be recalled and corrected.

🚩 | 빼빼로는 한지성을 존중하라

롯데는 한지성 제외에 대해 즉각 해명하고 공식 사과해야 합니다.
7인으로 구성된 빼빼로 제품은 신속히 수정되어야 하며, 한지성은 모든 패키징과 프로모션에 포함되어야 합니다
