1. [+367, -9] It's unfortunate that people are so quick to hate without checking the facts first. Isn't it embarrassing to change your stance so quickly after finding the truth behind the clothes? I support J Hope for bringing attention to these issues and for donating such a large amount to the cause.

2. [+279, -21] The thing about these 'messages' is that it becomes a message of social justice when he wears it but if someone like me were to wear it, it would just be considered sexual harassment.

3. [+244, -2] Why was it controversial in the first place???? Teaching people about contraception is important and needed.

4. [+95, -1] People are sick ㅋㅋㅋ to go from hating on him to praising him again..

5. [+75, -0] Why is a condom controversial anyway? The only problematic people are the ones who don't use protection but are still unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences.

6. [+50, -1] I'm not a fan but I think the point here is that a lot of people weren't aware of such a campaign with an important message. Teens are engaging in these activities and at an age where they can purchase condoms and other contraceptives. While our country has come a long way in educating our teens about these things, we still have a lot of work to do. Instead of keeping all these things hush hush and pretending like it's not happening, campaigns like this that educate people is a good way to expose these ideas to everyone.

7. [+42, -1] It's because people still think that condoms are dirty and sexual that our country still struggles with proper sex education and is rampant with sex crimes

8. [+41, -2] All J Hope did was wear a shirt that promotes healthy sex education, why is it necessary that he is hated on for being 'dirty'? J Hope has always donated to various charity causes totaling to 5 billion won to children, women's rights, and Asian discrimination campaigns. Instead of wasting your time writing hate comments, go do something to better yourself.

9. [+40, -3] Please don't date men who don't use condoms. They are selfish people with no consideration or sense of responsibility. Absolutely ignorant. Don't waste your youth on people like them. There are way better men for you in the world.

10. [+31, -1] I didn't even know this was a condom shirt at first... ㅎ

11. [+29, -0] Anyone who thought this was 'too sexually provocative' is just super ignorant and has no idea about proper sex education. Condoms are necessary unless you want to ruin your life.

12. [+28, -1] There's no reason that he should be criticized for being 'dirty' or 'sexually provocative'... we need to educate our youth on proper protection so that we don't get more human trash being birthed in the world.
