Hello !! Long time
Is it okay for little girls to do that with grown men that aren't their fathers, even for an ad? I dont know, I don't know if id let my daughter do it. I dont know what to think about it now but I would think its inappropriate
Hi
I’m not sure that I would. I probably wouldn’t be keen on having my daughter be part of an advert, at all.
You’re right, it may be weird but it isn’t sexual. That’s the point I’m trying to make. The ad features other kids doing it together, as well. The ad isn’t produced by Exo or SM but the company who makes Pepero. It has been approved for broadcast by Korean television, do they can’t have thought it inappropriate.
Maybe this isn’t thought of as strange in South Korea. Maybe it just seems strange to us because we live in a different culture.
Look at the way the guys are looking at the little girl. There isn’t anything inappropriate about it. They clearly think she’s cute and adorable. You can see that Sehun is clearly staying as far back from her as possible.
Pepero is a really popular snack in South Korea. They even celebrate “Pepero Day” on 11th November, every year. Everyone exchanges Pepero on that day as a sign of affection. Apparently it’s a really big thing. Everyone takes part in the Pepero game - it’s really no big deal there.
Again, the problem is us misunderstanding it.
