Yonsei University's cigarrette butt campaign comparing miss A's Suzy and AOA's Seolhyun is stirring controversy.


In a smoking area at Yonsei University, body sized posters of two idol stars stand with trashcans placed in front of them. On the trashcan in front of Seolhyun, it says "I like Seolhyun", while the other one in front of Suzy has the words "I like Suzy?" on it, and the one in the middle is labeled, "Trash here..."

Smokers are to cast votes with their cigarette butts, and choose between the two stars. The campaign claims that the posters of beautiful idols are going to attract smokers' attention, and they are most likely to approach and throw their cigarette butts away in the trashcans located in front of them.


This campaign originated from the Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi cigarette campaign in London. However, several viewers claim that this campaign applied to Suzy and Seolhyun is disturbing and unpleasant. Netizens wrote, "It is very disturbing to see two females get compared by their physical qualities, and get cigarette butts thrown to them", "I understand it's for a good cause, but it doesn't seem right to vote based on the two celebrities looks", "Do they think those two are their toys or something? It's Disrespectful", and more.


Do you think this campaign is a smart idea or an unpleasant disturbance?
