The lead actors of the series "Distant City," Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal, have come under criticism on social media for appearing in an advertisement for the Coca-Cola brand, which has been boycotted in many countries due to its support for Israel during this process.
"WHILE GENOCIDE CONTINUES..."
The advertisement, published during a period of escalating conflicts and increasing civilian casualties, was interpreted by many users as "insensitivity." Comments such as "Is this the right thing to do at such a time?", "Is it ethical to remain silent and make advertisements while genocide continues?", "I deleted everything I shared about this series," "In 2 days, people will forget and continue watching," "It's really a shame," "This advertisement is not fitting at all," "Money reveals the truth," "While the world is boycotting, conscience is dead," were made under the posts.
THEY HAVE NOT MADE ANY STATEMENT
While no statement has yet come from Ozan Akbaba and Sinem Ünsal regarding the issue, it remains a question whether the advertisement will be withdrawn or if the brand will make a new assessment regarding the situation. Developments have sparked a new discussion on social media about "artist sensitivity" and "the ethical boundaries of commercial collaborations."
Here are the duo's posts;
