On the 11th, Eric posted a picture of his Pepero Day authentication on his personal account along with a handwritten letter to his fans, leaving a message, "I can buy 4.03 million Pepero to my beloved Derby (fandom name)." However, the product in the picture that Eric posted after thinking of it as a Pepero was a condom, not a Pepero.
This product was released in a design similar to the actual Pepero in time for Pepero Day, and Eric was found to have posted a picture while mistaking it for a Pepero. Upon learning this, Eric immediately deleted the post and explained it. Through the fan communication community Bubble, Eric says, `I'm so ashamed and embarrassed that I want to hide in a mouse hole for a week", he explained the situation. He expressed his honest feelings, saying "I picked it up at the convenience store after work today thinking it was a Pepero, but I really didn't know what it was."
Eric then said that the product had the phrase 'DEAR', and that he chose it while thinking of THE BOYZ' fan song 'Dear', adding, `I'm sorry I surprised you.' Eric's candid explanation prompted fans to burst into laughter and respond with "Cute", "Misleading happening".
