Online ad's blunt description for Jessica's 'Hair Couture' product amuses netizens

In result, an online shopping mall which is selling the brand's products is seemed to be affected and made a blunt advertisement to sell Jessica's shampoo. The description is written as:



It's SNSD shampoo so we prepared this
But you have left so what do we do

Although the timing is so vague, the product is nice so sell it, GOGO!


The advertisement caught the attention of not only their amused customers but netizens as well especially with the use of Jessica's picture along with the product.
