A traditional Korean garment worn by Jimin of K-pop boyband BTS will go on auction today (April 22) and it has sparked outrage among fans because it will be sold unwashed.

The hanbok was worn during an energetic pre-recorded performance by the band for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September last year. The memorable showcase was filmed at the historic Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul.
