The jokes went super viral.
Koreaboo
While there have been multiple instances idols have mentioned the cleanliness of fans…
The Idol Who Called Out Her “Stinky” Fans With Deodorant Suggestions
…it seems like NMIXX have done it the most times out of many K-Pop groups, or at least, gained attention most often for doing so.
One of the most notable instances occurred when Sullyoon directly expressed her feelings about not washing up. In multiple messages on Bubble, Sullyoon stated that cleaning up was absolutely not optional, and was firm in her expression.
Sullyoon: Not sure if you’re serious or not, but there is no such thing as a choice for not washing up. Washing up is a basic routine!!
Fan: I’ll just spray perfume and not wash up…
Sullyoon: Please, just wash up!
Next, member Kyujin instructed fans to make sure to shower before attending their fan meeting, much to the amusement of some of the members.
Kyujin told NSWER to take a shower before going to their fan meeting later, then Haewon and Sullyoon started laughing 😭 and Lily asked them for a context is so funny 😭 pic.twitter.com/uhM8sONKzm

Now, the group has introduced perfume as one of their merch items for their upcoming world, coming in two different varieties.
And while this is not the first time a group has sold perfume, many couldn’t help but connect the previous mentions of cleanliness with the unexpected merch item.
No group should be dropping this many hints at their fans to start smelling good😭😭its getting concerning😭💔💔 https://t.co/LRi7V6zI7y pic.twitter.com/OiSAXowBlD
