- [+3,231, -26] Eating off Korea once again...shocking.
- [+911, -34] I hope they will be able to export a lot and help the Korean economy.
- [+905, -56] If only people would stop drinking..we'll be able to reduce accidents, gossip, diseases and property losses.
- [+709, -220] This isn't the real soju. It's just a diluted version made with saltka alcohol, some condiments and water. Are they seriously advertising this as soju expecting people to drink it? +_+;
- [+155, -25] Distilled liquor? That looks like diluted soju
- [+94, -2] Drinking alcohol doesn't turn you into a ba$tard, it just brings out your true nature
- [+74, -2] Why are people drinking anyway... I just don't get it.
- [+40, -3] Who would want to drink that?ã…‹ã…‹ It has such a cheap taste. The people drinking this are just looking to get drunk. Jinro soju isn't even a distilled liquorã…‹ã…‹.
What are your thoughts on the ads?
