Ministry of Justice withdraws 'Love is Great' poster following criticism The Ministry of Justice has announced it will withdraw its 'Love is Great' poster following criticism. The Ministry of Justice released a poster on October 1, in line with the launch of an awareness campaign about the revised Act on Punishment of Activities Relating to the Destruction of a Marriage, which came into effect on October 1. The poster had the title 'Love is Great', and showed a man and woman who appear to be having an affair. However, some people on the internet criticized the Ministry for releasing a poster that they said seemed to be promoting or glorifying an affair. The Ministry of Justice announced on October 6 that it will withdraw the poster. The Ministry said it had received a large number of opinions about the poster, and that it had decided to withdraw it in order to avoid causing confusion. The Ministry also said it will review the content of the awareness campaign.
