The subway commercial of Pretty Runner actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon has been suspended.
Giftree, the corporate operating the commercial, said, “In keeping with the inner coverage of the transportation company, if even one criticism is made, the commercial have to be taken down.”
To this, the Seoul Metro said, “We’ve got no involvement on this commercial.”
Most just lately, Giftree posted a proof of why the advertisements have been taken out.
“We want to inform you of the state of affairs surrounding the suspension of the commercial of Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, who gained first place within the November season ballot.
After the commercial was posted, we obtained over 40 complaints asking why the 2 appeared collectively. In keeping with the transportation company, if even one criticism is obtained, it have to be suspended, so it was taken down shortly.
We tried to renew the commercial, however we couldn’t because of the steady complaints. Even after we requested the one that designed the advert to revise the design and submit it for assessment, it was rejected for a similar cause.
The transportation company even recommended changing it with a design that confirmed Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon individually, however it was rejected attributable to ongoing complaints.
If these complaints proceed, not solely will the actors have hassle promoting by way of us, however all subway ads, so we ask followers to be understanding and cease sending complaints.”
Korean netizens couldn’t perceive why individuals have been sending in complaints.
- “The complaints are so unusual. They gained first place by way of votes, didn’t they.”
- “The subject was about ‘{couples}’ within the first place…these gained recognition by way of this drama, didn’t they?”
- “What’s up with the individuals placing in complaints about this?”
