Park Jin Young accused of sexualizing students through TWICE uniform ads
Netizens have been criticizing Park Jin Young and upcoming JYP Entertainment group TWICE for participating in an ad campaign accused of sexualizing students through risque uniforms.
The posters featuring the singer and upcoming rookie girl group TWICE, have been criticized for using phrases such as “trim the skirt! shading skirt” and “tighten the jacket! corset jacket.” Unlike traditional school uniforms, the girls of TWICE can be seen wearing rather tight jackets and short skirts, which are more revealing and are viewed by many as sexualizing students.
Netizens have berated the company for participating in the ad campaign, pointing out that both the group members and the students they are marketing too are too young to be exposed to sexually suggestive material.
The main post that complained about this advertisement stated, “The models don’t look like middle school, high school student but seem as if they are portraying women in the prostitution wearing uniforms. Please help my voice be heard.”
