Last month, Korean pop group Sistar transformed into āSailor Starā for a commercial to promote online Korean shopping site 11st. Some arenāt happy about that!
Online in neighboring Japan, online commenters wondered if the online shopping site got permission to use the Sailor Moon imagery.

āI thought [Korea] hated Japan?ā wrote one commenter on 2ch, Japanās largest forum. āStop stealing everything possible from Japanese culture,ā added another. āKnock it off!ā Oh boy.

Well, the commercial is a lot of fun.
