University embroiled in controversy after using AOA's Seolhyun's image inappropriately

Unauthorized and inappropriate use of an image of AOA's Seolhyun at a university festival has caused controversy online. 
On october 6th, a user uploaded a photo of a Korean university bar sign, which included a picture of Seolhyun, another bikini model, and a menu of food items with sexually suggestive names. The large sign hanging over the entrance says "You want to eat it, right?". What drew the ire of Koreans is that "eat" in Korean can also be used as slang meaning to have sex. 
The titles of the menu items have been met with disgust and negative reactions. The menu's lewd offerings included:
"'Stick it in me' meat stick"
"Her thick, pork noodles"
"Cheese ramen in your girlfriend's house"
"'Oppa I'm hot' fried intestines"
other menu items were also rephrased to include sexual innuendos. The bar was discovered to be located at Gyungsang University. As soon as news of this reached the administration, the school released a swift apology.
This is not the only a controversy like this has occurred. Recently, Nine Muses' Gyungri's lingerie photoshoot image was used in a magazine cover with lewd article titles written all over it.  She has already filed a lawsuit against the perpetrators.
Unfortunately a picture of the controversial menu and sign was not available.
