Isn't it a bit disturbing that the team is promoting beer to a rather young audience?

They hired Big Bang to promote Hite Beer. The youngest member (Seung Ri) is only 18 years old. He's not even old enough to drink beer.

According to Wikipedia, in Korea "Anyone who will be over 19 by the end of the year can drink and purchase alcohol."

I'm willing to bet by age 19 a good 99.9% Koreans have probably drunk beer and even worse soju. Korea is such a huge drinking society that advertising beer wouldn't be looked down upon compared to America.

This.

Usually dads give soju to their son, because it's 'manly'. I remember my dad giving my soju when I was 13...

Uh, also, their target audience is the 20s, I'm sure they didn't think of the minority, since the majority of the audience are in their 20s.

The more we get into the recession=The more depressed they get->The more beer they drink

Conclusion is easy.

Hite beer commercials are cool

And here I was thinking they'd finally shed all pretence of being an independent e-sports team and call themselves the KTF Sparkyz.

The 'cool' in the logo makes it look quite ridiculous.

But the big question is, is the beer tasty?
1000 at least.

New sponsorships = a good sign for progaming's financial situation!

Congrats to OGN, Hite, and the SPARKYZ.


Particularly since beer sales should be up during a worldwide economic downturn

Sigh... At least OGN is still a sponsor. It would suck for the SC scene if they were the pull out their sponsorship T_T

He's 19 in Korean age if I'm not mistaken. And it's not like its difficult to buy alcohol, you just walk into a store and pay 3 dollars for each bottle of soju. You can get a bunch and they don't ask for ID or anything.

Young people drink all the time. Having the legal age for drinking at 21 is pretty stupid. Many people drink in college and even in high school. By making it illegal, you only increase the allure; the same thing goes for marijuana.
