Does it mean anything if an idol post pics with branded goods?

Um yeah, lol.

It usually means it's a brand sponsored post.

it is branded

Qri did it with a coffee diet supplement and damn did she look gorgeous as ever

edit: sorry was obsessing over a goddess, but all it means to me is that they got paid.

yes it means $$$$

I mean ₩₩₩₩₩

It means they got paid. There should also be a note on the post that it's paid. I know that's required here in the US by the FTC, but doesn't seem to be required in Korea.

I've seen them sometimes be tagged as an ad but it definitely seems to be optional.

#광고 is "Advertising"

Maybe it's the structure of the relationship? The first two posts have #advertising (i.e. paid posts).

These next two are when Jaehyun is actually a brand ambassador for Prada, so he's paid for the overall sponsorship deal? Not sure here on how it's structured in Korea tbh. I only know American rules on influencers/sponsored posts/etc.
