A Thai ad for skin lightening pills has come under fire on social media for its tagline.

I bet you know where this is going.

The company, Seoul Secret, uploaded the ad to YouTube and has since set the video to private.

The ad for the ‘snowz’ supplement pills features 5-year-old model and actress, Cris Horwang.

“Just being white, you will win,” she says during the 90 second clip.

“If I stopped taking care of my body and white complexion, all that I have invested will be gone” she continues.

Her skin then begins to darken until it is black while a second pale model appears smiling.

“A newcomer will replace me and turn me into a dark star,” Cris says, referring to a Thai phrase.

Twitter is going batshit obvs.
