FTC investigates on overpriced EXO earphones and Big Bang's jumpers.

The Fair Trade Commission has reportedly launched an investigation on 16th August for products sold from famous entertainment agencies in the country which proves to be way too expensive when it's related to some idol or boy groups.

According to the Seoul YMCA famous entertainment agency that sells expensive goods prices have abused the dominant market position in products while the 'merchandise' has any idols printed on it. 

A look at the findings of EXO earphones sold by SM Entertainment, is KRW123,000 and YG Entertainment's Big Bang baseball jumper reached the price of KRW175,000 which is ridiculously overpriced.

Seoul YMCA rep said, "The idols products must be sold at a reasonable price to commensurate with the quality and content and not just by marketing to gain money and interest from fans.

I'd say that's a rip off! For fans- you can easily get these merchandises anywhere at a cheaper price or even at EBay as the jumper is purely just printed by a colour printer with the idol's images.
