A Pattern of Controversy
An online community post, which quickly gained over 40,000 views, pointed out the surprising number of controversies linked to Prada’s Korean ambassadors. In 2020, Red Velvet’s Irene and EXO’s Chanyeol were named Prada’s new ambassadors.

Most recently, Kim Soo Hyun has been embroiled in a “grooming controversy” following an exposé by the late actress Kim Sae Ron’s aunt, aired on the Garosero Research Institute YouTube channel. This situation has further fueled the online discussion about Prada’s ambassadors.

“The Prada lineup is crazy.” “The marketing team at Prada must have a headache.” “I guess the devil really does wear Prada.”
These reactions reflect the public’s surprise and concern about the repeated scandals involving those representing the brand.
