game company sometimes forwarded their advertisement campaign to a third party, particularly if they want to advertise a game to an audience in a different country that doesn't speaks english/the other way around. most of the time the company didn't provide much ads source like pics/videos, they expect the third-party advertisers to check the game and make the ads from that.
but the third-party advertisers would just took the money, and then throw in a random, possibly related pics/video or a mash-up gameplay between unrelated game, etc. it is in part the company's fault, they should at least make sure they're hiring a competent folk that doesn't just grab the cash and do a lousy job at making the advertisement that could possibly get them into legal issues. but most chinese/korean game company are cheapskate, instead of hiring competent advertisement company, they forwarded it to a sweatshop-styled advertiser to cut the spending on advertising.
and funplus isn't the only company doing this, i've been seeing these type of misleading ads done for many games since 2012 on facebook. crappy facebook game with dynasty warrior ads gif, crappy kingdom building that used mount and blade siege montage. i dont know if it's still a thing over there since i've been using facebook so scarcely, but this thing is at least a decade old by now.
