[theqoo] "IS PRINCESS LEE SEYOUNG'S NECKLACE FROM TEMU?"... 'THE REMARRIED EMPRESS' HIT BY CONTROVERSY OVER 'CHINESE IMPORTED GOODS'

The necklace served as the primary spark for the controversy. Comparisons began circulating online, suggesting that the black-stone necklace worn with a mint-green dress was nearly identical to mass-produced accessories sold for around 2,000 won on ultra-low-cost Chinese e-commerce platforms like Pinduoduo and Temu.

"There was a lot of controversy surrounding Temu in 'The Remarried Empress' due to rumors, but there’s no way Louis Vuitton ambassador Shin Min-ah would wear a fake.

Temu just copied luxury brand jewelry and made fakes.

All the cast members, including Shin Min-ah, are luxury brand ambassadorsㅋㅋㅋ Temu being Temu. Tsk.

K-Romance Fantasy, fighting"

2. Why would this be a controversy? Is Temu illegal? Pathetic

3. It's a fantasy setting, so there’s no need for historical accuracy anyways, why is there so much nitpicking?

4. If it's just going to be used as a prop once or twice in a drama, wouldn't it make sense to use something cheap?

5. Huh? How is this even related to "historical accuracy"?

6. Damn, what's the correlation?

7. Is this a problem?

8. Well, I suppose it's not possible to produce everything or get everything sponsored, is it?

9. People are mad because Temu are selling copies of luxury brands..?ㅋㅋ

10. This is "fantasy" though....
