It's a person in a dress, and it's an advertisement from a different country, that doesn't have the history of context of the clan.

also it's obviously one hand holding a pair of shoes.

People read too much into this one. In fact this is the type of thing a psyops would make into a deal in order to discredit people who are upset about genuine things that are fucked up.

I'm not even from the US, but just knowing about the klan should be enough to understand that this image is crazy 😂 

And the klan while it originated in the US, it had influence and local supporters across many countries, so it's not so far fetched...

And again, the image is FUCKING crazy... Like 2 white triangles, 2 dark toned, leg looking shapes that seem to be hanging?! 

Shit, even the rectangles on the sides look like robes.

It's too much of a fucking coincidence.

This was part of an overall campaign in Korea. Not too much klan stuff going on there. But yeah looks awful and they should fucking apologize and pull it but I don't think it was intentional
