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…
SNSD – Goobne Chicken
SNSD has been endorsing Goobne Chicken for almost two years; video below is their third CF edition for the brand… [check out their previous dance battle CF]
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…
The song is just ok for me, but I like its a-laughter-a-day-keeps-the-doctor-away theme. 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.

Korean stars Go Soo and Son Ye-jin posed for November issue of Cosmopolitan magazine [Kr]; the duo is starring in Into the White Night which is screening next month. The film is Go Soo’s first movie since his enlistment in 2006; the hype is further sparkled with news that Son is going nude for the love scene.
Korean online games portal HanGame [Kr] has created a cafe game featuring Korean pop group KARA; below are the girls’ commercials, dressing in maid-cafe-kinda-cosplay-costumes to endorse the game…
Order Queen Hara
Korean pop star BoA is taking a break from her American activities to release a Japanese single, Bump Bump, featuring Verbal from M-flo. Music video, and some black & white promotional pics further below…
Korean drama IRIS’s OST, titled Don’t Forget, sung by Baek Ji-young. The MV only focused on the love triangle between the three main characters in the spy-action thriller, played by Lee Byung-hun, Kim Tae-hee and Jung Jun-ho…
Nice song; Baek Ji-young did well to bring out the sorrow and emotions. Would be great to have a clean (without conversation) version.
IRIS is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas of the year. The star-studded show opened strongly on October 14; its English subbed episodes are scheduled to start showing on KBS World channel (lucky me lol) on Nov 11.
Other co-stars include Kim Seung-woo, Kim So-yeon and Choi Seung-hyeon.
