Article: Maxim reps, "We apologize for the crime pictorial controversy... we will be scrapping all copies"

1. [+450, -17] They should've apologized sooner. Why is it that when Koreans brought it up as an issue, they treated it like it was no big deal but as soon as an international media picked it up, they go "aigoo, so we DID make a mistake!"

2. [+396, -17] They're trash. Ignored Koreans when we called it controversial but as soon as international people start saying the same, they surrender immediately.

3. [+44, -0] The apology is very late but stil expected. How could they depict a bad guy like that? The bigger problem is that there were a lot of people who didn't see what the problem was with the picture. Only once did the picture get controversial overseas did they all realize it was wrong and go hide ㅋ

1. [+302, -25] I like how Maxim ignored all the women who said the cover was disturbing and only now apologize once it gets attention overseas.. ^^

2. [+249, -25] Such an embarrassment to the country..

3. [+222, -23] Embarrassing to the country...

4. [+191, -21] You'd have to be insane to think that's okay..

5. [+165, -19] I wonder if the person who came up with this idea has a daughter of his own?

6. [+111, -8] So stupid how Maxim ignored everyone when Koreans called it out but scrap all the copies only after foreigners get involved
