W Korea's Breast Cancer Awareness Event Criticized for Lack of Patient Focus
W Korea's 20th anniversary charity event for Breast Cancer Awareness, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul, faced criticism for not adequately prioritising the perspectives of breast cancer patients and their families. Despite the presence of high-profile celebrities, the event's organisers, who remain unnamed, were forced to apologise for the oversight.
The event, attended by around 90 celebrities including members of BTS, aespa, and IVE, as well as actors like Byeon Woo-seok, was a milestone for W Korea. Luxury brands sponsored the occasion, but the focus on the cause was called into question. W Korea later acknowledged the criticism and expressed regret for not considering the viewpoints of those directly affected by breast cancer.
