For at least three days, BTS’ Jungkook<\/strong> has been criticized by some netizens who accuse him of backdoor advertising his brother’s business. Although the singer recently resigned from his position as in-house director at the aforementioned company, the controversy continues on local akgae forums.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On October 1, an akgae said in a local newspaper that he had filed a complaint against the K-pop star<\/strong> with the trade authorities. Six6guys<\/strong>, the company’s name, introduced the Graffiti on mind line earlier that month and Jungkook wore garments from this company within days of the launch.<\/p>\n

He posted a selfie on social media of him and also wore a brand shirt on a VLive broadcast for his birthday.<\/p>\n

The netizen who filed the complaint with the Korea Trade Commission (FTC<\/strong>) argued:<\/p>\n

\u201cBTS is a superior group representing Korea and has astronomical status. Although Jungkook did not mention a review of the product or ask fans to buy it, just giving the brand exposure can boost your earnings beyond belief. I believe that this incident is against the fair and free market and is something that the Trade Commission prohibits.<\/p>\n

I hope the authorities will investigate what happened<\/strong><\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, other netizens consider this accusation to be exaggerated.<\/p>\n

According to Money Today medium<\/strong>, the FTC determines that it is disguised advertising when influencers or celebrities don’t specify the recommendation of a product, but have received payment or sponsorship for it.<\/p>\n

This recommendation can be in the form of repeated exposure of the product, by posting a link to buy or by reviewing the benefits of the product.<\/p>\n

BTS fans note that “Jungkook did not mention or hint at the garment he was wearing and it is difficult to assume that he had commercial intentions<\/strong><\/em>.” In fact, the garment was only seen wearing on two occasions.
