Article: SISTAR Hyorin's spread leg splits, 'sexy body dance'

1. [+280, -19] I don't know whether I'm watching a soju CF or a trashy bar CF~
2. [+228, -32] How is this a soju CF ㅡㅡ Who'd buy it after watching something so dirty like this
3. [+231, -37] The advertisers are at fault for making the girls do this and the girls are at fault for even complying with it ㅡㅡ
4. [+36, -6] Lee Hyori's version of sexy was a really healthy and public friendly one... These three can't even make up half of that.
5. [+29, -5] What's even funnier is that the background settings to all of their CFs are clubs but clubs don't sell sojus, it's the local pub houses. Lee Hyori's old CF where she shot at a local pub was really realistic and made me crave for a shot of soju really bad. I'd understand if they were advertising beer with that type of background... It's just funny how their main focus is sexy, sexy, sexy without any regard to who the audience of soju is.

1. [+80, -22] Honestly, she's not as good as Lee Hyori. But then again, who could ever replace Lee Hyori? That's why they had to bring on 3 at once...
2. [+84, -26] I don't know if it's their concept or whatever but it looks cheap;;;

Well at least they are spreading around their displeasure and it's not just HyunA antis. but I kinda agree, the pub-style soju cf's were sexy and fun but very accessible do they not want women to buy soju anymore, this is kinda not even pretending to advertise for the 20's female and ahjumma soju drinking market.
ReplyDeleteWhile Hyorin's CF was somewhat in better taste compared to Hyuna's (still cringing at that Nicki Minaj/Lil Kim-esque leg split), it still looks cheap compared to what Hyori would've done. Hyorin's behind was nearly spilling out of those short shorts.
ReplyDelete"1. [+80, -22] Honestly, she's not as good as Lee Hyori. But then again,

I wonder how koreans would react at beer CFs here in Brazil
maybe they better sign Son Dam Bi instead.
ReplyDeletedoesn't she has that aexy concept also?
I actually agree I liked Hara's the most because it was the tamest but Hyorin's is still better than Hyuna and her follow ups.
ReplyDeleteAww I feel bad for her. But she's still not as bad as Hyuna. I hope their company doesn't go the route of cube.
ReplyDelete" I don't know whether I'm watching a soju CF or a trashy bar CF~"
ReplyDeleteHyorin looks cheap
I think she looked "classier" than the other two though it was a side split and not a front one. I think it's wa better
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would work, because son Dam Bi gets called a tranny :/ by the general public...I still don't see it but :/ I don't know how much Soyou would help
ReplyDeleteLol yeah or anywherein South America ... The beer models usually are wearing bikinis
ReplyDeleteOu can't compare Hyoris CF to these. Hyori is sexy because of her body and it's cute because of her smile. She was not Ave,me fatale or club dancer. It was all mostly about going out for a drink with friends and others. I think Hyorin's or if it was bubble or even pre bubble pop Hyuna would have gathered a good response because of their concept and looks being similar to hers. I love Hyorin but I hope/wish that they don't release her round two..I don't want them to drag her through the mud like they did with Hara. The second round choreo for Hara was just awful :/
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that bad tbh, but she is an extremely awkward dancer on her own and the cf had nothing to do with the soju itself.
ReplyDeleteShe looked like a cheerleader for the first half of the CF.
ReplyDeleteHyorin is the only girl who's suitable for selling soju, but these CFs are so desperate and lame, imo.
ReplyDeletewhat's a tranny?
ReplyDelete2. [+228, -32] How is this a soju CF ㅡㅡ Who'd buy it after watching something so dirty like this
ReplyDeleteSex sells. This isn't a CF for a candy bar after all.

[+231, -37] The advertisers are at fault for making the girls do this
and the girls are at fault for even complying with it ㅡㅡ
I always thought artists do not have a choice, or at least not given a choice after 'private consultations' with their CEOs? Are celebrities given more freedom in South Korea?
5. [+29, -5] What's even funnier is that the background settings to all
of their CFs are clubs but clubs don't sell sojus, it's the local pub
houses. Lee Hyori's old CF where she shot at a local pub was really
realistic and made me crave for a shot of soju really bad. I'd
understand if they were advertising beer with that type of background...
It's just funny how their main focus is sexy, sexy, sexy without any
regard to who the audience of soju is.
My thought exactly. Aren't Sojus supposed to be sold in those Korean hotpot stalls during winter? I'm pretty sure their market segment does not include clubbers. This CF would have done justice for a beer advertisement, but definitely not for a Soju advertisement.
the more i read these netizenbuzz, the more i realize that netizen opinion =/= public opinion.
ReplyDeleteUmm... Because of her wide shoulders people think that she is a man... It's just because she's a swimmer and has well developed back muscles though
ReplyDeleteI think SK is in the middle of changing as far as what they can or can't do in their music videos, stages and commercials. They just need to get used to it.
ReplyDeleteTo all the people who are saying "sex sells" in a half-hearted effort to defend Hara, Hyorin, and Hyuna... why don't we take a look at what this same company's soju commercials used to look like with Lee Hyori as the spokesperson?
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, these commercials are what made this brand of soju so popular. :)

This one doesn't feature Hyori very prominently, but is fucking hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcDCTJjFeVE
Do you see why K-Netizens are so pissed off right now? The company didn't just hire new models, they completely dropped the ball on this completely. I understand that no one can replace Lee Hyori, but I think it's very possible for Hara, Hyorin, and Hyuna to have filmed CFs a bit more like Hyori's. -___-
tranny = short for "transvestite"
ReplyDeleteA transvestite is someone who dresses as the opposite gender.
agreed!! dambi would be perfect!!
ReplyDeletelmao didn't know her cfs were so funny
ReplyDeleteGood, response and slut-shaming which I expected not as bad as Hyuna well in her defense Hyuna is the current reigning nation's slut.
ReplyDeleteNetizens here realize it's the advertiser wrong but agree that these CF are very tryhard sexy and coming as cheap. No one can emulate Hyori's type of sexy, between the 3H's Hyuna's the sluttiest worst.
Sluts everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWell, Koreans have different commercials than Brazil. Idk why, it probably has to something to do with how South Korea and Brazil are two different countries..? Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Asian culture is more modest and conservative.
DeleteFrankly speaking as a female, if I see bikini-clad and half naked girls everywhere , I would be quite annoyed.
But the problem and the sad thing is half naked girls are so rampant in Brazil and America that even the female consumers are desensitized already.
well i watched the 3 CF and i love the 3 girls but if i have to chose hyorin suits the sexy concept better she does not try hard, then hara well she can do great if the concept wasn't toooo sexy, and for hyunah well poor girl she always gets hate
ReplyDeleteHyuna=Slutty Dance Moves
ReplyDeleteHyorin=Borderline
Hara=Tame but she could have wore better clothes
I wish they did a funny cf like Hyori but they might be trying to reach another demographic.
Netizens are actually right this time, I didn´t even understand what they´re trying to sell/market with those cfs. Hyori´s was for Soju and when people watched her they actually wants to drink soju, but when I saw the new cf I rather just drop soju and drink makgeolli instead. Also yes they don´t sell soju in clubs, soju is more of a drink they drink with a meal and friends. I don´t even understand the purpose of dragging it to the club and making the girls try so hard to shake-ass.
ReplyDeleteSeems like the soju company is really messing it up.
Haha those cfs were so funny yet sexy with Hyori but in a refreshing way. Now I see the negative sentiments well tbh I was happy Hyorin signed this more high-lister cf but now I kinda don't want her to continue doing this. All 3 girls are trying too hard with the sexy and it's coming off as cheap though Hyorin was the least worst I guess compared to the dances Hyuna and Hara did she was more tame. Yeah the soju's company marketing team dropped the ball maybe they changed it and went to this full outright sexy and targeting a different demographic, the horny ajussis -_-
ReplyDeleteNow I kinda don't want Hyorin's second round to be released too T.T I don't want her to continue being slut-shamed...
ReplyDeleteBlame the PD, dont blame the artists, they are the one who makes them looks cheap
ReplyDeleteprudes
ReplyDeleteJust imo, with these commercials, Hara>Hyuna>Hyorin
ReplyDeleteHara is pretty and her dancing wasn't THAT terrible.
Hyuna would've been better if she didn't show off her bones.. she's sexy but it looked like they were going to rip her skin open.
Hyorin... her face is just... busted.. imo.. I'm sorry.
Hyori had this appeal because she was cute, beautiful, and sexy all at once. None of these girls showcased that type of appeal, none of them looked like they should be soju CF, either. Dancing with a bottle for 5/1000 frames... um...
It doesn't matter whether it was a side split or front split, people will always find an excuse to bash hyuna because she is so cute and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI just realized I made a bunch of typos because I was so pissed off. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHe is not saying they should be like the ones from brazil. Just wondering that their reaction would be
ReplyDeleteYeah it does. Sure... That's why they bash them.
ReplyDeleteI think in the new CFs, they're trying to attract the "young crowd" hence the clubbing scenes and idols dancing sexy...which are horrible choices. Also Hyori's CF is a lot more effective since it actually focus on the product more than girls dancing sexy
ReplyDeleteLool I remember when i was in a lecture and my boyfriends white friend was talking about Gangnam Style. While watching he's like "that girl looks like a tranny, why they pick her, do South Koreans like that type of look?" My boyfriend goes, "She's South Korean's slut. Like she's known for spreading her legs. She's basically the national whore icon."
ReplyDelete...
when 'young people' go out to have a good time and get drunk.. they usually go to clubs, which serve beer and liquor.. not soju..
ReplyDeletemy general impression is that young people drink soju either when they're with family or when they're out with their work colleagues.. in korea, it's pretty much a requirement for you to socialize with your coworkers and pouring and receiving soju is a demonstration of rank..
it doesnt make sense for a soju company to try and appeal to a younger crowd when a much larger percentage of people who drink soju are not in that age group
Funny CFs are so much better than 'sexy' CFs, they give you a positive feeling towards the product advertised.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sick of people talking about slut-shaming. These CFs are degrading women as sex objects, am I slut shaming Hara/Hyorin/Hyuna if I point this out? No.
I just don't think it's appropriate to sell soju with a girl pointing her crotch at the camera, whether it's Hyuna or anyone else. It's tacky, it has no relation with the product being sold and it clearly alienates some potential customers - based on the sample of netizens comments.
I don't know why they are so upset about these CF's, I find them surprisingly easy to masturbate to...
ReplyDeletewhy is hyorin compared to beyonce seriously? i mean she can sing well, has a great body.. but the talent is nowhere close
ReplyDeleteWow, look so good... I just want to get that for myself and my families. Hope for more new style. rs gold , runescape gold
