Kang Daniel Brand Advertisement Controversy: Industry Officials Weigh in on the Issue, 'No MC Praised Competitor's Product'

Kang Daniel is now in hot waters after carelessly promoting and praising a different brand from the Street Man Fighter sponsor. So, advertisement industry professionals weigh in on the Issue.

Professionals React to Kang Daniel's Mistake

"Thank you to our advertisement officials," he said.

"Trevi is delicious!" he continued. "Just kidding. But I am half sincere." 

It has been known that Seagram sponsors Street Man Fighter and not its rival beverage drink Trevi.

Daniel's mistake also affects Seagram, considering it has invested in sponsoring the show, but he ends up promoting a different brand.

"He is an MC who does not even know the basic 'Rules' that are fundamental," an official from the field said, via AllKpop. It added that his mistake could even be called a "broadcast incident."

"We're not asking him to be polite to the advertiser, but at least, he shouldn't be rude," another explained. "There has not been one MC who praised a competitor's product in the history of past broadcasts."
