You might have heard about the big controversy surrounding the September issue of ' Maxim Korea' featuring actor. After the initial negative response, that the photoshoot was not in any way related to sexual assault and that it had been done as a tribute to the antagonistic roles that the actor had played. But with, the magazine has now issued an official apology on its homepage. The apology comes up as a pop-up on 'Maxim Korea's official homepage and reads, 'Maxim Korea's recent September 2015 issue made the mistake of including inappropriate photos and words in the article and back cover. We also think that we have caused disappointment to those who have loved Maxim. Although we had no intention of romanticizing a criminal act in the process of conveying a crime scene in the magazine, whatever our intention was, we admit that this is completely our fault. Once more, we express our deepest apologies.
We are currently reflecting on the mistake and will voluntarily take action to recall all sales of the September issue in the country. Also, we will donate the total profits that have already come from the September issue towards the prevention of sexual assault and advocation of women's rights issues. We deeply apologize once again. SEE ALSO: It looks like the online petition against the continued sale of the September issue had a big impact on the magazine's decision. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Nutelladela. Friday, September 4, 2015 I'm gonna get so much hate for this but am I the only one who thinks people are too sensitive?:c This picture was simply a made up story to fit a character, just like a villain in a movie script, it was like a script told in a picture for a magazine. If there was an article glorifying sexual assault I would understand the outrage, but to me this is nothing more than a role, a script, like a scene in a movie, to fit the villainous nature of the actor's face and also a sort of summary of his various bad guy roles.
In its September 2015 issue, MAXIM Korea’s cover depicted the images of a naked woman’s feet dangling out of a car boot, with the slogan “This is what a real bad man is like. How do you like me now?”. The photoshoot goes on to show the images, most likely of the female victim in the boot, looking up at the assailant, then being dragged in a plastic body bag. Korean women and the international media engaged in a fierce backlash against the magazine, who, following a drawn-out media battle, issued an apology. At one point, the Korean editor-in-chief posted a Facebook message saying “Jeez, if I wanted to glamourise sexual violence, we’d have cast So Ji-seop instead of Kim Byeong-ook”, only to delete it after it caused further controversy. Only after an went viral and a spokesperson for MAXIM US issued a statement condemning their Korean affiliate did MAXIM Korea finally retract is defensive position. The Korean editor-in-chief promised to retrieve all copies of the issue as well as to send all funds earned thereby to a Feminist organisation (As of December 25th, MAXIM has not made a donation and has declined to comment on the subject).
