I read some articles in NY Times today. Most of them are about the women situations in East Asia. One of them talks about the posture in an ads which provokes the men in Korea. I've heard little of the incident online but I never payed attention to it. After reading the article, I was deeply shocked. What the xxxx? How the Korean men would convince the ads was ridiculing the size of their penis? It is just a photo of camping in the forest and a hand is trying to hold a sausage. How sensitive and ridiculous they are.
And the most disgusting thing is that when they threatened to boycott the company, the designer was disciplined by the company. What the xxxx again. I have no idea why the Korean men were so fertile of imagination. Or maybe it was just an excuse to demoralize the Korean women. Maybe there will be more incidents like this.

I read some articles in the NY Times today.

"NYTimes" as the abbreviated form seems more natural to me.

Most of them are about the women situations of women in East Asia.

Or: "about situations faced by women in East Asia."

I've heard a little ofabout the incident online, but I never payeid attention to it.

"Little" without "a" has a negative sense: "I've heard little" suggests that you pretty much did not heard anything of it at all.

After reading the article, I was deeply shocked.

What the xxxx?

This is acceptable, but it is much more common to include the first letter of the word and use asterisks for the remaining letters, for example "f***." Sometimes, the last letter may also be shown.

How thecould Korean men wouldbe convinced that the ads was ridiculing the size of their penis size?

"The size of…" is also fine, but this sounds better to me.
"Convince" needs an object. You could also phrase it as, "How could Korean men convince themselves…" That would emphasize that this interpretation is strictly their own invention.
"Korean men" (and "Korean women") does not need an article to go with it.

It is just a photo of someone camping in the forest and a hand is trying to hold a sausage.

How sensitive and ridiculous they are.

And tThe most disgusting thing is that when they threatened to boycott the company, the designer [of the ad] was disciplined by the company.

Generally, you should not begin sentences with "and."
"By the company" is already understood, so it sounds better to omit it.

What the xxxx again.

I have no idea why the Korean men were sohad such fertile of imaginations.

More idiomatic.

Or mMaybe it was just an excuse to demoralize the Korean women.

Generally, you should not begin sentences with "or."

Maybe there will be more incidents like this.

I did know nothing about it eventually. So that's why I was so surprised when I read the raticle.

In that case, you should have used "and" instead of "but." "But" suggests a contradiction, but "I've heard little" and "I never paid attention" are very consistent with each other.
