Kangin to return for SPAO?

Kangin to return for SPAO?
Share

Because of all the drama the k-pop industry is going through currently, it seems like the infamous stories of Kangin’s uncontrollable alcoholism has cooled off a bit.

However, as Kangin made an appearance for a brand new clothing company called SPAO through their website, the controversy has been reignited. Kangin’s appearance has enraged netizens since SM Entertainment had made a clear declaration that they would be suspending all of Kangin’s activity until the end of the year. Which SM is somewhat holding true to, because the shots seem to be taken prior to Kangin’s DUI incidents.

Super Junior Kangin

But regardless of when the photos were taken, netizens still believe displaying Kangin to the public is not right, at least for the time being.

Netizens have expressed,

“Exposing his face to the public is still considered an ‘activity’.”
“Do you think we are stupid?”
“We do not even want Kangin to quit or a resign from the group. But he should still keep his promise.”
“Why haven’t you guys arrested this kid yet?”

E-Land World, the holder of SPAO revealed:

“We have already filed a memorandum of understanding with SM in mid July. The ad was filmed before Kangin was involved in various accidents. We cannot provide a specific date when the actual Super Junior ad will be aired on TV. However, we do not have any plans to cut out the part where Kangin appears.”

Although using a careless alcoholic as the posterboy for your brand isn’t exactly the best decision a company can make, netizens should give it a rest. Shit happens.

    WOW! you guys are rlly sympathetic. He dunk drove. That’s a serious offence. People DIE from that you know. Its only natural they arrest him after many of the crimes he committed. Seriously, even if he is a celebrity, thats no way to pardon him from the things he did.

    be careful with your words dear writer.

    Usually I side with allkpop’s viewpoints regarding controversial issues, but Kang In’s case is definitely an exception.
    How can you dismiss his offense–which I may remind you, was not only drunk driving, but a hit-and-run–as “shit happens.”
    The fool put other lives in danger, which is not anything that can be forgiven easily (at least in my book).
    rameninmybowl is almost a careless of a writer as Kang In is an alcoholic.
    To hell with the both of you.

    if i found out that “these” netizens is just one guy with a laptop in a cafe hooking for some free wifi…. i might just go to korea and slap that person’s arse!

    geeeeeeeeezzz! bickering over a picture. at least kangin has a job. “these netizens” should get a friggin life.

    i’m starting to hate the korean culture or their people at least.
    (i hope the tourism ministry of korea read this post.)
