Inappropriate Photo of Wonder Girls in Magazine?

K-pop sensation Wonder Girls have been featured frequently in various international magazines - including that of U.S., Philippines, and Thailand - demonstrating their rising popularity in, not just Korea, but overseas as well. However, with a lack of research and false correlation, mistakes can be made easily when obtaining a photo of an international artist or group. Need I remind you of the Swiss tabloid magazine that used a picture of Super Junior's Yesung as Kim Jong Il's son? It seems a similar misfortune has fallen upon a Swaziland newspaper company. The problem was not just using an inappropriate photo of Wonder Girls with ex-member Hyuna, but with the content of the article itself. The accompanying story reported on the reason why younger girls date older men - a matter completely irrelevant and unrelated to the Korean girl group. The caption under the picture reads "YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL...... Young girls prefer dating older men for a number of reasons." A representative of JYP Entertainment stated, "We are currently resolving this issue with the newspaper company in Swaziland. We will take actions accordingly." Let this be a lesson to all journalists and writers: although Google is often referred to as a reliable primary source, extra caution must be taken where content is concerned.
