Ahn Jae Hyun Reportedly Dismissed as Model for Giordano Korea

The companies that used Ahn Jae Hyun as their model seem to be losing interest in him after his divorce with Ku Hye Sun.

Giordano Korea, a clothing brand, recently decided to delete all the pictures of Ahn Jae Hyun, who recently had taken a pictorial with Jung Woo Sung as the Fall / Winter models. People discovered that on August 23rd, pictures of Ahn Jae Hyun are no longer on the social media accounts of Giordano Korea. Giordano also reportedly sent out a notice to all of its stores saying, "Remove all POPs of Ahn Jae Hyun in the store." As a result, the stores quickly took down all of Ahn's image ads.

Another brand, Mullyse a cosmetics distributor which is formerly being exclusively modeled by Ahn Jae Hyun, decided to stop all advertisements and contents related to Ahn Jae-hyun through SNS on the 22nd.

According to reports, this is what Mullyise said, “As far as the issue of Ahn Jae-hyun and Gu Hye-sun, which is a major issue, is too different from the direction that Mullyse pursues, we have stopped all advertisements and contents related to Ahn Jae-hyun from the current time. The ads and content that were retained will be deleted sequentially. ”

It looks like the reason for companies distancing themselves from Ahn Jae Hyun is his recent divorce with Ku Hye Sun. One brand said, "I can't hide my embarrassment before the SNS revelation issue on Ahn Jae Hyun's controversy." "I sincerely apologize to customers." “This brand pursues love and happiness with a wedding concept,” he said. “When we first signed with Ahn Jae-hyun two years ago, we concluded that his image was suitable for the direction of Mullives.”
