To celebrate their anniversary, a special poster was posted on their official social media account, only to receive huge backlash online.
The post however, has now been deleted after fans criticized them for using AI to create the image.
Netizens pointed out the strange designs and the misspelling of words on the poster.
They were even more disappointed to see that they printed it out as a banner to use during their live broadcast.
