Korean Commercials

I've been seeing some especially good commercials around here lately, so I looked some up on youtube so I could share them with you.

I don't know what this ad is for, even though it's subtitled on youtube (the subtitles are kind of funny, bonus). My favorite one is the first one because of the baby lying so nonchalantly on the pillow watching tv. That's one cute kid.

This commercial I can actually figure out. CYON is making some crazy cell phones right now. One is called Ice Cream 2. I see this ad every time I go to the movie theater; it hasn't made it to tv yet. It stars some chick named Kim Tae Hee, who must be a singer or actor or someone else popular enough to get a lot of commercial air time. The guys in the Ice Cream commercial are a reeeaaaally popular boy band called Big Bang. I like the one with the mohawk.

Here's another CYON phone called Lollipop:

By the way, Koreans really dress like that. In real life, the colors are more muted, but the style is basically the same. This is why I have trouble buying clothing here.

I see this one a lot lately for Seoul Milk:

This is an ad for a touch phone called Haptic Pop. It's funny.

Anyway, this is what I'm inundated with on a daily basis. I might throw some other ones up if I find any good ones later. Isn't youtube great?
