It's kinda hilarious that an innocuous quintet of teenage pop singers could so effectively trigger certain members of this forum. 🤣

Some of them need to understand age of consent is 20 in South Korea. It's a strange colourful hodge podge conservative culture with a lot of cults and k-pop is one of them.
 
Apple couldn't afford blackpink

If I recall correctly, Blackpink is one of those odd K-pop groups which are way more popular overseas than they are in South Korea, so engaging them to promote to their home market may not get the desired outcome.

New jeans is apparently the hottest group in town at the moment, with Coke Zero being their latest brand deal.

Say what you will about Apple, but their marketing tends to be on point.

the funniest was when Lisa was in a sponsorship with some Korean or Chinese smartphone brand and when she was doing a live stream her iPhone was accidentally in the shot and she made a cheeky smile and was forced to hide it.
This is nothing new. Samsung's own marketing team were using iphone. The Chinese OEMs execs and fainily members are iphone users as well. Arguably the only company where execs and employees are using their own products probably is Apple. 😂
 
...feminized beatles-mushroom-haircut-femboys, ...confused korean kids who know no better and have no idea there's a whole other world out there... there is Spanish music and then there's latino trash.

Bigotry, is that you?
