[NEWS] Girls’ Generation Wows Fans and Korea Yakult Staff with ‘LOOK’ Advertisement Campaign!
18May
With
one light shining down on them, the “girls” walk onto the stage with a
confident pose. Like falling stars, the crystal accessories make the
girls’ every step shine.
Sooyoung, dressed in a pink and
black striped dress, dominated the stage like a supermodel, while
Jessica showed off her sexiness by exposing her stomach with her shirt
fluttering in the wind.
This scene, which looked like a
grand fashion show being held in a foreign country, was a CF for Korea
Yakult’s diet product, “LOOK”. The CF garnered much attention even
before being aired, as it was a CF for a diet product with Girls’
Generation, who is known as the “beautiful legs group” in Japan.
The nine members gathering together
despite their busy individual and unit activities also garnered
attention. The CF was divided into a TV and movie version and has become
a hot issue amongst netizens after behind-the-scenes footage showed
staff members making “cameo” appearances in the CFs.
This CF was filmed in April at a
studio in Kyunggi-do. It was a hard schedule that started at 10 AM and
ended the following day at 3 AM. The person in charge of the Yakult CF
stated, “The hardest thing to do was choosing a day to film, because
it was not easy getting all nine Girls’ Generation members in one place
at the same time.”
One staff member stated, “Everyone
on set was overwhelmed by Sooyoung and Yoona’s ‘doll-like bodies’.
Everyone stopped and stared at the charisma they gave off when walking
down the runway.”
They
filmed CFs which will be shown on television and others to be shown on
alternative mediums. Other than Girls’ Generation, the people who
appeared in them were staff members on set, the advertiser, and the
promoter.
The assistant manager of Korea
Yakult’s Integrated Marketing and Communication’s team, Seo In-Ho,
revealed what it was like on the set, saying, “Their [Girls'
Generation's] manners are also on the level of global stars. You
couldn’t find any domineering attitude from them, and they looked like
cute younger sisters, taking photos with their smartphones together when
resting.”
The homepage for “LOOK” also proved Girls’ Generation’s explosive popularity. The website,http://www.dietlook.co.kr,
which provides wallpapers, making films, and model photo downloads, has
been recording an average of over 10,000 visitors a day.
Meanwhile, a staff member of Korea Yakult revealed, “The second CF for ‘LOOK’, matched with the summer season, will be revealed in early July.”

I'm participating as their fashion stylist."
