The simultaneous Coca-Cola advertisement shared by the lead actors of the series 'Distant City', Sinem Ünsal and Ozan Akbaba, has caused a significant stir on social media. The advertisement for a brand that has been boycotted due to Israel's attacks in Gaza was met with backlash, especially on social media.

BOTH ACTORS REMAIN SILENT

In the face of the criticism following the advertisement shares, neither Sinem Ünsal nor Ozan Akbaba has made any statements. However, while the silence continues, a past post by Akbaba has resurfaced on social media.

"DON'T HARM THE CHILDREN, GENTLEMEN"

Ozan Akbaba's post from about 2 years ago on X (formerly known as Twitter), which highlighted the civilian casualties in Gaza with the phrase "Don't harm the children, gentlemen," has led to contradictions in the criticism following the advertisement. Users pointed out the inconsistency between the artists' social sensitivity and their commercial collaborations, expressing their reactions with comments like "You will be remembered not by your words, but by your choices" and "Did the advertisement money weigh heavier than your conscience?"

THE DEBATE IS GROWING

Following the incident, calls for a boycott against both the series and the advertisement campaign have increased on social media, and it remains to be seen how the artists will respond to this issue.
