SM Entertainment Criticized For Attempting To Profit Off Selling Masks During Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak

SM Entertainment‘s global shop has come under fire of netizens after they uploaded a post, selling 5 KN95 masks for $30 USD.

The global shop uploaded a post on their Twitter account announcing the sale of 5 KN95 masks, which are equivalent in efficiency to KF94 masks that are commonly sold in Korea.

 

However, what triggered the negative outcry against SM Entertainment’s global shop was the price the masks were being sold at. At $30 plus tax for the price of 5 masks, each mask would cost over $6 a piece. This is in stark contrast to the average price of ₩2000 KRW ($1.60 USD) a singular mask costs in South Korea through the government provided program.

The price of the masks, and even the sale of masks in general prompted outrage from international fans, calling for SM Entertainment to donate the masks instead.
