WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Members:

Korean transgender model Harisu (also written as Ha Ri-Su and an adaptation of the English phrase "hot issue") stars in this print and TV campaign for facial powder.

Ha comments about it: "The concept of the commercial was transgender and I didn't want to lose that chance to debut as a model.  I don't want to face people dishonestly. I won't be able to hide it after all. It's better to make it clear from the start."

I think this is a positive image of trans identity, which presents Ha as a beautiful young woman without being overtly sexual. I certainly like her comments about openness and pride.
