1. [+302, -4] I thought the cover page was shocking already but the pictures inside the magazine are even worse ㅡㅡ

2. [+227, -5] This is embarrassing...

3. [+182, -5] Are the people shielding this saying it's from a movie in their right minds? You seriously think this is normal? So many barbaric people

4. [+26, -0] People are becoming perverted in that they're looking for more stimulation in the bizarrest ways... this definitely crossed the line

5. [+21, -0] This is a depiction of a crime no matter how much you look at it, not of a 'bad guy' ㅋㅋㅋ so bad guys are all criminals now? I just hope the actor isn't affected by this

6. [+19, -0] What exactly is the cover trying to convey? Why would they convey masculinity in such a way?? What an embarrassment to our country

7. [+18, -0] I had a feeling this would be controversial overseas. It's crazy how some Koreans chalk this up to 'culture'. People saying it's just a movie depiction can't be in their right minds. Why would anyone defend this, or why would anyone even use this as a magazine cover? The world is truly insane

8. [+16, -0] Who even came up with this idea? What an embarrassment

9. [+15, -0] The pictures inside are even worse. Considering how many sexual crimes have been happening in this country, now we're even being embarrassed on an international level.

10. [+14, -0] I was already pissed off by it but now even foreigners know about it ㅡㅡ ugh
