Fried/roasted chicken must be a huge biz in Korea, or perhaps it’s cheap to hire Korean celebs to endorse their product, or probably a bit of both.
Sharing here some Korean commercials featuring popular girls groups SNSD, Wonder Girls, Kara and 4minutes for different chicken restaurant chains…

English subbed MV of Laugh (웃어) by Korean hip hop duo Mighty Mouth, featuring R&B diva Insooni. The song is the first track from the duo’s Smile mini-album…

Another attraction of the video is the cameos from host of Korean stars, i.e. 4minute, Kara, After School, 2am, Epik High, Lee Seung-gi, Baek Ji-young, Taegoon, Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-woo, Jung Juri and Jewelry S etc.
