They’re everywhere!

From fried chicken commercials to financial service advertisements, your favorite K-pop idols are everywhere and there’s a reason why! According to South Korea’s Brand Marketing Report, idols are major influences in consumer behavior.

 

Let’s take a look at some of the idol kings and queens of branding and their most recent commercials!

BTS is the king of commercials for fried chicken, BBQ Chicken that is. Anyone else craving a box?

 

KB Kookmin Bank is one of the 5 biggest banks in South Korea. Wanting to target a younger crowd, they reached out to BTS and recruited them as their newest, freshest models.

IU also feels your pain when you’re feeling under the weather due to stomach cramps or headaches. She’s here to support you on those days with the commercial for On That Day pain relief medication.
