A controversial Mother’s Day campaign—featuring provocative copy about modern family dynamics and idol-fandom—prompted an immediate apology and removal of materials, with the company promising to tighten content review. Separately, promotional choices and spokesperson selections intended to highlight female empowerment instead alienated some male users and intensified online backlash.

OPPO apologized after its Mother’s Day promotional copy sparked controversy and said it has removed all related materials. The company said it intended to portray diverse, modern mothers but acknowledged the messaging—which included a line about “my mom has two ‘husbands’…one I see twice a year” alongside imagery about idol-fandom—offended audiences and trended on Weibo under “OPPO 文案价值观.” OPPO pledged to listen to criticism, review its content approval processes, and prevent similar incidents.
