Fans wanted to put up subway ads for Kang Dongho in celebration of his 6th debut anniversary but the Seoul Metro system thought it was inappropriate to put up pictures of a figure who was questioned for sexual harassment and rejected the ads upon review.

1. [+1,241, -168] I'm more amazed that he's still able to promote when his lawsuit is still in progress. Is this the power of stupid fangirls? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+1,001, -138] Oh yeah, I forgot about this guy... sigh

3. [+965, -366] Nothing's been confirmed about this scandal yet... why are these comments so sure in labeling him as a sex criminal already?

4. [+77, -44] Of course they should pull the ads... Why would it make sense to put up a sex criminal's birthday ad on the subway?

5. [+74, -13] Stupid fangirls spent all this energy only to bring his scandal back to light when he worked so hard to bury it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+58, -16] Whether anything's been confirmed or not doesn't matter, he should be kept off TV until it's settled

7. [+54, -32] I really wonder what goes on in the minds of people who spent all this money on putting out a birthday ad for someone under suspicion of sexual harassment...

8. [+52, -10] I'm sure he thought this would blow over but with #metoo blowing up everywhere, it looks like it won't be the case

9. [+50, -32] Isn't the lawsuit still in progress? Can people just stay quiet until the final results are out? ㅠ

10. [+47, -35] Let's not get too opinionated over a scandal that's still in the lawsuit stage. We should be waiting for the final judgment. It's wrong to pigeonhole him as a criminal before anything is said and done.
