ALLKPOP has reported that netizens have been responding to a particular promotional poster recently found in H-Marts, a Korean grocery chain in the New York and New Jersey areas. The poster lures customers with a free album of the Wonder Girls' music if they purchase a bag of rice. Many are outraged that such a promotion is taking place in the first place since the KPOP girl group have been dominating the Asian music market. They actually interpret this poster as racist and downright humiliating. Others argue that KPOP music is not readily available in the U.S. so this type of promotion is essential. With their new English album soon to be released, it will be interesting to see how far their fame will go on this side of the globe.
