this is so cringe :/ how are you going to spend $$$ to get one of the biggest groups in the country and then dub over their voices like that when they're perfectly capable of saying simple phrases in english? this is embarrassing.

delete this ugly mess @ korea!!! i can't believe someone approved this, nature republic stays the only one respecting my men

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

lmao kai's is the most ridiculous one

at the VERY least why didn't they end it with them all saying Have you ever been to Korea?

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

right! way to miss the great tagline in your own ad campaign?!

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

that was horrible.

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

top quality comedic content

[torontok.livejournal.com]

NEVER AGAIN.

This is like one of them cringy-ass crack videos where they replace their voices with the google translate programme but it's actually a proper ad campaign...

This looks like a parody wtf lol

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

all those white tourist actors........ they rly just want white people to visit

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Fire their marketing department

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

i can't believe all those nearby asian countries korea could get tourism from and they still zone in on white americans and europeans like the dick worship

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

there are so many things wrong w this ad where do i even begin
first of all, the atrocious dubbing? i was so confused when jm started talking i was like what the fuck happened to his voice?? then i realized it was a dub lmao
second of all, it's literally all white people. as if korea doesn't get more tourists from the nearby asian countries lmao. they couldn't find any non-white people in seoul to appear in this?
third of all, i just think this concept is dumb. this was the best they could come up with? delete it.

U KNOW WHAT i expected worse after that one BTS commercial with the english voices that didnt match anyone ahahhaha. This is better than that, which is a low standard to hold anyone to.

Choking @ sehun omggg

[minho-lover.livejournal.com]

BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

.....too much white people ugh

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

This is disrespectful. ExoLs are not the ones to mess with in this comeback draught.
The worst part is that Exo are clearly saying what the voice over is saying

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

yeah ... imagine exo songs with those voices

this is how nightmare are made

[frequency.livejournal.com]

idk how they actually sound but i know it ain't this, lol.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

like even ignoring the dubbing this commercial makes no sense????

like it's no "i.seoul.u" (MESS) but this whitewashed nonsensical bullshit is atrocious

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Lmaoooooo

Tears in my eyes @ sehun's part

[mjspice.livejournal.com]

LMFAO What is this???

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

But it sounds like that actually is Minseok's and Baekhyeun's voice? I'm guessing whoever made this thought the accents were too heavy for weak white ears.

[blck-ink.livejournal.com]

hilarious but so so so dumb

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

Love that we can now have a 100% undoctored gif of Baekhyun, an idol at at an agency that will stick IVs in their idols before they'll let them take a break, saying "Have you ever taken a rest?"

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

lol I approve Kai's voice the most!! XD

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I'm not an avid Exo follower and don't know their voices well, so that's probably why...but I expected worse?

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Mess but still better than that LG G7 ThinQ mess.
