The case of'Jung Ini', a 16-month-old adopted child who died due to the abuse of her adoptive parents, is receiving public resentment.
There was a post on Instagram that sells t-shirts, bags, hats, cell phone cases, etc. with the phrase'I'm sorry Jung In-ah' along with the hashtag'#Jeong In A'.
The seller said, "We made the product with a sense of regret to want to inform more people."
However, there was no mention of the use of the proceeds from the sale.
The netizens who encountered this post expressed doubts, saying, "Is it right to memorialize Jung In-yang," and criticized "using the sacrificed child as a means of making money is beyond the specification."
As the criticism continued, the seller explained, "I'm sorry. I made the product for the purpose of informing a lot of people about the'I'm sorry Jung' challenge.
The homepage is currently suspended.
On Instagram, many citizens are commemorating Jung In-i's death through the challenge of'#Jung-in' am sorry'.
However, in order to increase the influx of posts, some users repeatedly use the hashtag'#Jeong In A Sorry' on their daily photos, which are not related to this incident.
