FRL Korea, which operates “UNIQLO” in South Korea, has completely stopped the CM that appeals the 25th anniversary of the popular product fleece. The criticism that the elderly woman says “I don't remember the old days” (in the teenage years), “I'm teasing the comfort women problem” is spreading, especially in SNS.
The commercial lasted about 15 seconds, and a white girl in her 90s asked me "What kind of clothes did you wear in my age?" No answer ". On the other hand, some Korean citizens repelled that “Japan is ridiculed by the comfort women issue” and “We will never forget”. The Korean media also introduced ripples as a “comfort women insult controversy”.
FRL Korea stated in the statement that “(CM) has nothing to do with any political case,” but “he takes a lot of the unpleasant feelings of many people”. CM is a global series that plays on TV and online in multiple countries, and it will not be canceled outside Korea. (Seoul = Takeda)
