Transgender singer and actress Harisu (하리수) will be in advertisements for UFT brand sanitary napkins. Some, um, interesting wording in the aritcle from the Chosun Ilbo:
Up till now, male stars like Go Su and Gam U-seong have appeared in sanitary napkin ads, but never has a transgender individual appeared in an ad for such a feminine product. The Taiwanese firm UFT really tried hard to cast Harisu in its ads. In fact, when the singer first learned what the company wanted her to market, she was quite hesitant to agree to the project.
UFT, however, explained that the sanitary pads are a cutting-edge product that not only gives women that spring-fresh feeling, but also prevents menstrual cramps. Hearing this, the singer eventually accepted the offer.
Update: I just double-checked and this article is four years old. My bad. My guess is somebody on soompi or some other messageboard recently linked to it, thus putting it on the list of most-viewed articles.
Update 2: I'm sorry, this is really distasteful, but I had a little lol at what article ranks right below this one on the list of most-viewed stories.

Brian, I had to double check to make sure this wasn't a post by the famous Dokdo Is Ours. Nevertheless, thanks for the chuckles.
Too funny!! I doubt anyone could actually try to set that up. Keen eye you have.
I don't care what Harisu's id card states his gender as female. He is still a man in my book.
That is a man?! Good lord.
She's hot. Get over it Sam.
Brian--she is a man. I wonder if your dad would be happy if you brought him home.
Two articles that are both Period pieces. Nice.
And Samuel, she WAS a man.
Not anymore.
Joe in Korea--sorry he is still a man. Chopping off your dick and getting implants don't make you a woman.
So, boobs and no dick means man? I'm confused. I thought it was the other way around.
Nik--you're comment makes no sense, if written to me.
