Nooooo JYPE really screwed Momo over for her first solo endorsment

she look okay for me

This is great makeup

it's a pill that whiten your skin?

I hope she is not eating those cause wtf......

Wouldn't it be poisonous?

I honestly doubt anybody is going to have that large of a reaction. I mean shes just modeling make up at the end of the day.

Side note: i dont think that anybody should be pressured to change the tone of their skin, but just like with tanning lotion and preferring to be tan, some people prefer to be lighter. If thats their own decision why is that bad? Tanning is like REALLY bad for you so it obviously isnt a health thing.

Edit: didnt realize its a pill and not make up??????? Wtf is a skin whitening PILL?!

Momo has been endorsing Met for almost a year now. Nothing happened, nothing will. It's a nugu brand and Momo deserves better.

That Scarlett Whitening news dropped the very day of their BB hot 100 debut too lmao, it's kind of unbelievable how clueless Div3 is. Whitening pills are much worse too just healthwise and for a member who's popular among Western fans... yeah unbelievable is the word

From what I understand, the product is relatively safe. I think the active ingredient in it lowers your bodys production of melanin...in theory.

In practice, it's probably just one giant marketing ploy.

Just like how in theory if you eat enough carrots, you'll get orange skin. In reality, one can not eat enough carrots to ever achieve that but you can definitely make a pill out of it, advertise that it contains the same ingredients as carrots, and claim it can make you look like Donald Trump.

Mmmm, i dont like this. But hey, if armys dont canceled BTS for making a song (and probabbly perform too) for Qatar and Fifa to the world cup, i certainly will not do it with my faves for a little pill that makes you a little more white. Fuck woke kpop stans.

It’s not that serious and no one cares expect kpop Stans.

Quote from Daileemidzy

That doesn't mean I can't be disappointed and express my feelings.

Um I didn’t say you can’t but you said twice are promoting in the USA as if she will get cancelled she endorsed the brand for a year and nothing happened. She will be fine.

Quote from Daileemidzy

I never said she would be canceled I said she could lose fans. Getting canceled and losing fans are not the same thing. I've unstanned groups who have done things I'm uncomfortable with and I didn't "cancel" them by doing so.

I mean Great for you if she but she will not lose fans anyway over something she can’t control

Really, that's so weird. It is very weird that Koreans are not comfortable with their own skin color and produce strange pills as a result. True, pills can be harmful because they have produced something that upsets the body's natural balance.

Quote from Daileemidzy

It's a pill that is stated to whiten the skin from the inside out. There is no healthy way to whiten your skin it's either a scam or really unhealthy.

Its a glutathione. An antioxidant. Its not dangerous lmao

Skin whitening is just a side effect of it

Its not a korean brand

That’s a filo brand not Korean.

It’s not a big deal. Glutathione is not only a whitening product, it’s also very good for your liver and such

Quote from Daileemidzy

OMG I remember the Scarlett announcement As someone who is like twenty shades darker than Twice's darkest member I was so disappointed. And truly what good came from that brand reveal that they decided to try it AGAIN with Momo??? All it did was make them lose western fans and nearly overshadow the BB news.

Yes I can't imagine it's nice to see for darker skinned fans, especially if they're not from countries where treatments like this are considered normal I know some people think we're overreacting but they are being marketed as a global group now and that comes with certain responsibilities imo.

So Western Wokes are against White, due to their own history, while Asians like fair skin as a cultural preference.

What's an idol/model supposed to do?

Model for both a whitening pill and a tanning lotion at the same time.

Globalisation will lay such traps, not all can be avoided.

How about neither.

How about, we shouldn't even be having this conversation because Twice are one of the biggest names in kpop and their brand endorsements shouldn't be relative nugus come on now

Well it is JYPE's choice and the contracted member's.

How big the name, should not have a bearing when it comes to morality.

Morals are indeed relative, but it should be relative based on the extent of popularity.

I dislike tanning culture as much

People risk skin cancer to appeal to western standards of beauty

To me health>>>>>> beauty

Risking health by either darkening or lightening uour skin is mad crazy to me.

I don't think the objections are from the health angle.

well mine was

bc sth that will change your skin color by oral consumption does not sound safe at all

Does she endorses the brand or just this particularly product?

Anyway she could’ve just said no? She’s essentially solding something that doesn’t even work, this is on the level of influencers selling gummy bears for hair growth

Quote from dummi

There are pills, there are shots

I think IU got skin whitening shots, so like you said it's grotesque but each society will have some disturbing and harmful beauty methods

When are we gonna stop playing god

Yes it annoys me because it doesn't suit her at all. Also we don't get a lot of content and magazines so I just feel like she doesn't get as much as she deserves.

you're right, fitness stuff like clothes would fit her much better than whatever this is...

Momo deserves more ( ) and beyond

everything cosmetic like this is unhealthy for your skin, tanning as well. We do loads of stuff that is unhealthy I dont think we need to make too much of a deal though I do think they need to be careful of pill things as it's something you ingest. I hope they did proper research into side effects.

I want luxury

Or fitness like you said

They chose this one, maybe because it is the only endorsement Momo received.

Are you all really out here telling me brands aren't ASKING for Momo?

Like she is gorgeous, charismatic, popular. I don't get it.

Quote from jonginmomo

Some fans are never satisfied. If she get luxury ads. Your mad that its Gucci and not Chanel. 😂

Why not just be happy for what she get's? End of the day its still money in her pocket that many other artists dont get.
