For “political reasons,” a business removed an announcement about new Stray Kids goods. K-Pop fans know the name of the company—Photoism—from its official collaborations with idols and as a self-photo service.

The official Korean social media pages of Photoism shared a sneak peek at an upcoming partnership on March 6. Stray Kids were later identified as the new group’s collaborators. The official Instagram accounts of Photoism’s new Taichung studio reposted the teaser, but Instagram subsequently removed it.
There is no story about it now on their Instagram account.
In the deleted story they were talking about: “
We are currently coordinating with Stray Kids’ agency in regards to the photo frame partnership, however, this is taking a long time because of political considerations. When it comes to collaborations, we always give it our all.”
Here is the tweet they posted on X about PHOTOISM with Stray Kids:

The following announcement was made by Photoism instead of a formal unveiling. Many were perplexed by the news, particularly because picture frames featuring other JYP Entertainment members are already on sale.
