Hello, this is the ESG Management Team at Korea Tourism Organization. We are responding to the matter you inquired about through the National Petition Board as follows. First, we deeply appreciate your interest in our organization and your valuable feedback for the promotion of Korean tourism.
We understand your complaint concerns the “indirect exposure of a specific mobile phone brand in the advertisement.” Your complaint has been received by the ESG Management Team, which oversees all complaints related to our projects, and it was forwarded to the Brand Content Team, which handles the production of overseas promotional content for Korean tourism. Below is the response from the Brand Content Team:
The Brand Content Team’s review of your complaint is as follows: The new 2024 Korean tourism promotional video, “Koreans’ Korea,” features a concept showcasing trendy Korean culture. It includes scenes where Koreans are taking photos with their phones to capture famous places and food. Since NewJeans, the advertisement model, is a global model for a specific mobile phone brand, there were contractual restrictions preventing the use of products from competing brands. We will carefully consider various aspects in future advertisement productions. We appreciate your understanding and support.
If you have any further questions regarding the actions taken and the results of this complaint, please contact us at the information below, and we will be happy to assist you.

How can you be so jobless that you’re going around filing civil complaints like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Go watch our country’s promotional video, it’s so well made~
1. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ “These” people are jobless to a disgusting level
2. At this rate, they need to let NewJeans and Apple to rest, how long have they been trying to bring them down ㅋㅋㅋ
3. “They” were the ones who claimed that Apple would cut them off and that they will pick “other idols” to replace them. What is this delusion…
4. Looks like “they” really have nothing to do
5. Wow this makes me realize how many weirdos are on this earth ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. Thanks to this, I just learned that NewJeans were global ambassadors for iPhone ㅎ
7. Is Galaxy a traditional Korean artifact? What’s this huge fuss about ㅋㅋㅋ
8. They’re more obsessed with NewJeans than NewJeans’ fans
9. I do believe that putting out a civil complaint is going too far and I like NewJeans, but it’s true that it’s better to use Galaxy for a Korean promotional video
10. Leave NewJeans alone
