Young CF models Yoon Eun Hye, Kim Tae Hee, and Jung Ryu Won have been reviewed as a big threat to the seniors of the CF industry.

As usual, every year there is an atmosphere of member replacements in CF industry.
Whether they liked it or not, a number of top female stars had to pass down their “CF Queen” titles to the new generation. This was also a tough decision for advertising companies: to choose between old models that are familiar with the consumers or the new models that are unique and original.

For example:

LG Whisen Air Conditioner
Previous model : Lee Young Ae ( 4 years )
Replaced by: Jung Ryu Won and her partner, Lee Sun Gyoon
- Some say that Jung Ryu Won lacks the charisma to be the brand’s model, but some support her by saying that the change of the model had positive effects on the company’s image.

Daewoo Construction Prugio
Previous model: Kim Nam Joo (7 Years???!! that’s a very long time…)
Replaced by: Kim Tae Hee

And lastly,

Samsung Electronics Zipel
Previous models: Cha Im Pyo and Kim Nam Joo
Replaced by: Yoon Eun Hye
- They say Eun Hye contributes a fresh, vibrant image to the brand.

A spokesman from an advertising agency explained, “The new generation of female stars including Yoon Eun Hye, Jung Ryu Won and Kim Ah Joong will be threats to previous generation of models for quite a time because they are both original and new as well as they have already established strong familiarity with the general public.”

Here are some updates from Yoon Eun Hye’s Samsung Zipel CF :

Samsung Electronics Zipel has chosen “My Fresh Life” as their new marketing campaign. The CF that is being aired currently is the first part of the “My Fresh Life” story, “Moist Fridge”. Here, we can see Yoon Eun Hye talking about cucumber and desert; she compares the cucumber to the cactus in the desert.^^ Yoon Eun Hye says, “When a moist cucumber goes to the desert, it dries up.” Then she asks us [the consumers], “What is your fridge like?”, and ta dah! finally, she introduces us to the product, which then ends the CF. If you still can’t get the picture, just view the CF below. “^^

In the rumor world, Cho Seung-woo and Jung Ryu Won have been rumored to be dating since the beginning of this summer. But the two only confirmed that they are just friends from church. Reports are now circulating that the two where recently seen together at the recent Beyonce concert, but of course neither of the two are talking. I’m like this, just come out and confirm the relationship already. We already know you guys are together. What’s the big deal?

Oh well, on a happier note. One of my favorite Korean female comedians is taking the plunge into marriage.

Comedian Chung Seon-hee will be exchanging “I do’s” with Ahn Jae-hwan on Nov 17 in an closed door ceremony at the Hyatt Hotel in Seoul. Originally the wedding ceremony was going to be opened to the public for both of their fans. But later was changed because the couple didn’t want to cause any inconveniences that could be caused by traffic or overload of fans attending the wedding.

The couple will hold a press conference prior to the wedding ceremony where fans(like me) of Seon-hee will get their first look at her wedding dress. *Wishing that I was in Seoul right now* hehehe. Big Mama and DJ Doc are reported to be the musical guests singing congratulatory songs. And the couple will be honeymooning in Japan at a ranch.

Jung Ryu-won, formerly from girl band, Chakra is another singer who made it big after turning into acting. She came to our notice as the ex-girl friend who refused to let go of Hyun Bin´s Jin Hyeon in My Name is Kim Sam Soon, much to our chagrin. Thereafter, Jung Ryu-won appeared in Korean dramas: Which Star are you from with Kim Rae Won as the long lost country pumpkin sister who is a death ringer of KRW´s character´s death wife, and April Shower with Oh Ji Ho, the drama panned by critics and was lowly rated to some extent, I believe the audience did not like their characters´ irresponsibility. Oh Ji Ho´s character eloped with Ryu-won character thereby abandoning his wife who is in coma and who was her best friend´s husband whom she was in loved even before the wife went into coma! And after the wife regained consciousness, Oh Ji Ho´s character could not decide whom he would love enough to make a decision among them!

Among the other singers who became more successful as an actress are Eugene, formerly from SES; Yoon Eun Hye, formerly BabyVox who burst into fame via Korean drama, Goong-Princess Hour; and Ha Ji won who gained fame initially in the horror genre. It was reported that Eugene is a better actress than she ever was as singer!
