Learn some PR girl. Everything in these industries has more than one motive. He wouldn't be naked in (assuming) Rolling Stone if it was just about cancer.

I don't believe that there was any ulterior motives behind this. if there is then that's ****ed up.
Well, I mean, it's pretty inarguable that the picture is selling sex. It's super effective advertising. "The medium is the message" goes far in this case - it doesn't matter what he's promoting, selling, etc. because his naked body will get people to pay attention, and he also happens to have more avenues than just promoting cancer awareness.
I'm not questioning his sincerity, but I wouldn't be blind to the duality of the pic.

K-Pop saves lives? Girl prevented from committing suicide after listening to EXO
Has K-Pop ever lifted your spirits when you were down? For a 22 year old identified as Ms. Han, K-Pop was enough to talk her out of committing suicide.
On June 17 in Seoul, Korea at 9AM (KST), Ms. Han was spotted at the rooftop of an 11-story hotel building, sitting at the edge and about to commit suicide. According to inside sources, she was driven to this point when she received a text message from her boyfriend, who is currently serving in the military.
A police officer involved in the case explained the situation in these words: "The boyfriend was on break so he told his girlfriend to meet him at [Seoul Station], but was unable to actually see her. It seems like she wanted to meet him so that she could ask him to introduce her to a new job. However, because she couldn't meet her boyfriend and because of her current job situation, she made a drastic decision in the spur of the moment...."
Officers who managed to persuade Ms. Han from following through with that decision stated that they used K-Pop to change her mind. "She said she wanted to listen to idol music," they revealed. "So we asked if she'd come down if we put on music from a popular idol these days. So, with thoughts of wanting to safely rescue [Ms. Han], we quickly went to the store and bought an EXO CD. People say that EXO is the most popular these days. We also purchased 'Bromide' and showed it to her."
Ms. Han finally came down from the rooftop after about an hour.
I don't believe that there was any ulterior motives behind this. if there is then that's ****ed up.
Gorl it's the music industry
If he was doing it solely for charity, he could have cut a cheque and kept his clothes on. But this way the group and himself gets exposure and an ego boost
OK, totally not appropriate, but this is so much stranger to me because I read this EXO bash piece once where their music (preGrowl/during Wolf era) was used as justification for committing suicide. It's so eerily similar to this.
