W Korea’s “Ridiculous” Response To “Love Your W” Scandal Sparks Fury
W Korea is facing growing backlash after its annual breast cancer awareness event, Love Your W 2025, became the center of heated controversy. The magazine’s latest response — or lack thereof — has only added fuel to the fire.
On October 16, a W Korea representative spoke to OSEN about the issue and gave a short statement saying they were unable to comment.
We have no comment.
— W Korea
Held on October 15 at a luxury hotel in Seoul, Love Your W 2025 marked the 20th year of W Korea’s long-running breast cancer awareness campaign. The annual gala is typically praised for bringing together major celebrities to support a good cause. However, this year’s event sparked intense criticism for what many perceived as a lack of sincerity and for using the “breast cancer” label merely as a promotional tool.

The shockingly low funds raised by donations also sparked heated reactions online.
The vague response quickly spread across online communities, with many accusing the magazine of trying to dodge accountability instead of addressing the criticism directly. Netizens defended the celebrities who attended — insisting the fault lies solely with the organizers — and expressed disappointment in how W Korea has chosen to respond.
- “They chose the brave path of not apologizing and just taking all the hate, huh? Respect. Hope they keep getting roasted and live long.”
- “Saying ‘no comment’ is ridiculous. Look at how they’re ignoring their own readers, lol. Bet they’ll only apologize once the sponsors start getting boycotted.”
- “Why hold a fancy event under the name of breast cancer awareness if you’re just going to say you can’t comment on it? lol”
- “The organizers are the ones at fault, but they’re the only ones staying quiet. Honestly, I hope this whole thing backfires badly. If you just wanted a party, don’t call it a campaign.”
- “Jay Park didn’t do anything wrong. Honestly, what did the celebrities who attended even do? I just feel bad for them… The organizers are the ones who messed up — they should be the ones handling this properly.”
