Korean tourism ad

[Bouks]

When I was watching ArirangTV last summer, they frequently showed tourism ads to attract visitors to Korea. Recently, I was pleasantly surprised to see one of the same ads on the Discovery Channel here in the States! I also found out later that Rain is the guy that appears in it. Here is the ad:

Nice to see it here! Now if I only had the time and money to go...

I saw this ad once on t.v. last summer....only once though. But then I don't watch a whole lot of t.v. I was surprised to see it.

I am glad to see Korea doing some advertising. It looks like there are a bunch of "Sparkling" ads. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), I don't watch a whole lot of broadcast television either.

I think it is interesting that the ad campaign would use a keyword that is difficult for Koreans to pronounce. 스파그링?
