They were cast as CF models for the Chinese water brand '恒大生水' which names the 'Baekdusan/Baekdu Mountain' as 'Jangbaeksan/Changbai Mountain'. K-Netizens find this problematic because of the disputes you can read about here.

1. [+1,450, -27] What I'm scared of is the Chinese saying, "Even your Korean stars have admitted to it being called the Janbaeksan so the rest of you should admit it too"

2. [+1,198, -43] This is so pathetic. I guess they have no sense of respect in front of foreign money.

3. [+1,093, -33] So many articles running around of them making hundreds of thousands off of dozens of CFs. I guess they've reached the point where they'll do anything for money now.

4. [+460, -17] A betrayal to their own country. They'll sell their own countries for money.

5. [+438, -13] I bet they'd sell their own countries if they got paid for it.

6. [+1,047, -30] Their companies are amazing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Took total control of the media to restrict news of it leaking

1. [+363, -15] The model should at least know the basic information about the product they're modeling for...

2. [+315, -7] This is about the same thing as if Yonsama went and shot a CF for a seaweed brand that claimed to be from 'Takeshima'. The company and the celebrities both proved themselves to have no brains.

3. [+30, -2] These articles have been up since yesterday but KAIST and Jun Ji Hyun's company have bought control over the journalists to block news of it leaking. Now it's finally coming up... Please don't think you can sweep this under the rug.

4. [+23, -1] If this is true, they need to be kicked from the industry.

5. [+23, -0] Quite obvious the company wants to sweep this under the rug. It'd be wise for them to cancel the contract right now.
