Controversy has arisen over a large mart exhibiting a dead shark and holding a photo zone event.
Last weekend, an article titled 'Yongsan Mart Shark Photo Zone' was posted on the online community, and a bloody shark is placed on ice in the seafood section.
This shark was on display for photography, not for sale.
The information board next to the shark explains the shark, what dishes it can do, and how to take good pictures.
A 'Baby Shark' character, which is popular with children, is also drawn.
Netizens who saw the photo showed negative reactions such as 'I thought it was a model, but it was shocking', and 'The photo with a dead creature is too cruel'.
On the other hand, some commented, 'Sharks are fish anyway,' and 'Isn't there a tuna dismantling show?'
When the controversy broke out, the mart withdrew the photo zone and apologized, 'We will pay close attention from the customer's point of view'.
