W Korea’s Star-Studded Charity Event Seemingly Mocks Cancer Patients— Triggers Backlash

Recently, W Korea’s annual “Love Your W” charity event took place, bringing together many top celebrities.

While the event was to bring breast cancer awareness…many netizens felt otherwise.

Photos and videos posted online showed celebrities partying and drinking.

Some were even shocked at the type of songs being played at the event.

K-Netizens felt that event did anything but spread awareness for the cause.

• “I can’t tell whether this is a club or a breast awareness campaign. They are all crazy, drinking alcohol, one of the worst things for cancer.”
• “They have to remove breasts if they have breast cancer, and yet they are playing songs like that? This is even worse than mocking the patients?”
• “Is this a campaign to mock the cancer patients? What the hell is this?”
• “I saw many celebrities showing off their breasts at a breast cancer charity event.”
• “So does partying and drinking help spread breast cancer awareness?”
• “My best friend is a breast cancer patient, and this is even making me so mad. The event is getting criticized, and yet they keep posting content. Are you sure drinking and partying are a campaign for breast cancer awareness? Why do you keep posting regarding this ridiculous event?”
