Maxim is renowned for its racy, risqué content but have they gone too far?Ĭosmopolitan UK commented, expressing sheer disbelief and outrage that the editors of the magazine allowed this to be published. ‘The cover line reads “The Real Bad Guy”, with the words underneath reportedly translating as: “So girls like ‘bad guys’? This is what a bad guy looks like. The additional photos from the pictorial include Kim Byung Ok dragging what appears to be a body in a bin bag. In the wake of publication, Korean netizens were outraged that the magazine was glorifying violence against women.
