Kissing couple Song Seung-heon and Han Ye-seul

Soon after the pairing of top stars Won Bin and Shin Mina as a kissing couple for coffee brand Maxim, another high-profile pairing is being used to push a product: Song Seung-heon (East of Eden) and Han Ye-seul (Tazza) are showing off some affection in their new ad for LG’s Whisen air conditioner.

The article practically reads like ad copy (seriously, do these reporters just regurgitate press releases or what?), but the gist is that the commercial was recently filmed at the Yangpeyong English Village (which, you may recall, is the setting for some of the Shinhwa High School scenes from Boys Before Flowers). It features the two actors embracing affectionately and ends with a kiss (albeit only one on the forehead).

Ah, well, they’re a good-looking couple. And as we know, good-looking people tend to sell product well. The actors are featured in two CFs for the brand, which began airing this month.

Just a couple more pics from the CF:

I think these commercials are win-win-win-win.

Win - LG for positive branding, solid brand equity, ad recall potential likely to be high.

Win - the actors are given good pub and their brand equity goes up too, in addition to whatever they are being paid.

Win - fans of the actors get to see something cute and nostalgic (perhaps) or even instructional.

Win - consumers of LG products, they get to feel good about the product they already own, and LG does make good air conditioners.

Not sure how I feel about this, but I guess PDA is becoming more acceptable now... I guess it is okay.

Not loving it as much as the Won Bin-Shin Mana kiss in the Maxim Coffee CF. That one was just cute, and hot. This one is...well not so hot. LOL

Hmm is would the reason it was a kiss on the forehead and not on the lips for Han Ye-Seul's personal safety? No not against Swine flu. That's nothing compared to the danger of jealous (Japanese ajummas?) fans of Song Seung Heon? :P

Gotta love the Asian CFs and the use of celebs!! Really - can anyone name a high profile non-Asian celeb in an ad (shown for their own aka non-Asian market) for a air conditioner? Or any whitegoods? @_@ I've seen plenty of non-Asian celebs in Asia-only (eg Japan) endorsements....

Shin Mina + WonBin is hotter than these two.
Then again, anything with WonBin is hot.

Wait, Javabeans, is Wonbin your's or is he still available?

Oh I got such tingling feelings looking at these pictures, I had to pass by each one quickly XD

Although I do miss SSH's short... "manly" hair. I'm waiting for the day when it will all be cut off >:)

edit:

I just watched it -_-
Out of the 30 sec cf, they only appeared for like 5 seconds -_-
*sniff*

Looks like I'm gonna be getting an LG air conditioner installed this summer - Korean advertising really works!

@Werdah

Won Bin is, in fact, mine. And has been ever since I laid eyes on him as Tae Suhk in Autumn Tale. I wouldn't trade him for the world....except maybe for Kim So Eun. If you can get me KSE, you can have Won Bin :D
