IU's soju CF's could possibly be banned
(NOTE: Despite what allkpop says, this is just a bill and not a law yet. The bill ALSO states that anyone advertising before the age restriction, if this becomes law, will be able to continue to do so. This is known as a 'grandfather' clause.)
A revised bill of the 'National Health Promotion Act' has been passed in South Korea kwa the Health and Welfare Committee. The new law states that no person, watu mashuhuri and sports stars included, who are at the international age of 24 au younger can partake in promotions for alcohol.
If the law is passed, it will directly affect IU, who is currently an endorsement model for maarufu soju brand 'Chamisul', as her CF's will no longer be aired.
On April 23, a representative from the Health and Welfare Committee said, "The law proposed kwa Lee Ailesa from the Saenuri Party wishes to stop watu mashuhuri and athletes, who have a major impact on young people, and those who are internationally 24 years au younger, from endorsing alcohol."
This means that it is all right for watu mashuhuri and athletes to take part in alcohol endorsements, but no one who is 24 years au younger will be allowed to endorse alcohol. This is regarding international age and not Korean age, and affects those who are born in 1991 who have not yet turned 24.
If the bill is passed, the ban will take place in not only CF's on TV but in print advertisements as well including newspapers, posters, etc.
This bill was proposed because of figure skater Kim Yuna's endorsement of 'Hite' bia back in April 2012. As Kim Yuna is a world-renown Olympic winner, with mashabiki of all ages including minors, it was alisema that her alcohol CF's would likely affect minors to want to drink alcohol.
What do wewe think of this possible ban?

I don't know about you, but I'm wholeheartedly rooting for these two to date. They are adorable together! The young stars, who are both 21 years old, are already good friends, so upendo should naturally come next.
