Seriously, are people dumb, do you not understand how sponsoring events work?

We've had alot more daring than that one in sweden. Of course there's always a few rabid feminists that starts screaming but I think it's the same everywhere.

Im just fairly skeptical of efficiency of such marketing when it comes to local brands not available for 95-99% of us.
But you are right there was something he could do, so the emphasized part of his post is untrue.

hot6ix is a subsidiary of the lotte conglomerate, which is a behemoth in south korea with branches in everything from department stores to supermarkets to financial sectors like insurance and ibanking. calling it a startup would be analagous to calling Gatorade a startup.

how am I supposed to support something that's not sold in my country. And no I dont have FB or twitter which would not support them anyway
|
Kinda strange that they would get a sponsor who only sells things in Korea, considering a majority of their viewers are foreigners (I think).
Would definitely try out their products if they were sold in my country.

I'm not certain of this, but I think a majority of GOMs viewers are Koreans o.o

Can we buy it online or something? If somebody found that out I think it would make this thread a bit more useful.

It doesn't matter if it's available or not, when you 'like' them in FB, other people, especially people in Korea, got curious of a product which such high 'like' and they are more likely to try it out. That's how advertisement work, although you don't use the product, but you recommend (directly or indirectly) other people to use that product.
