South Korean Coca Cola Campaign and Other Ways to Happiness

So here is a Coca Cola campaign set up in South Korea. For those who don't know, the guys featured on the machine are part of a boy band called 2PM. This was a really cute and interesting idea. Dance for your Coke. If you didn't notice, many of the people had smiles on their faces while they interacted with the machine. The concept behind this machine isn't new for Coke. For a while now, Coca Cola has always tried to associate their brand with happiness. Coke has created several campaigns internationally to go with their happiness theme. Here's a couple of more:

Do you guys feel that Coca Cola's advertising strategy is effective? Would Americans buy into the idea of the dance vending machine? I know that some of the YouTube comments joke that Americans would be too lazy to dance for their coke, but come on. I'm pretty sure that someone would try it because it's such a novel idea. I know I would.

Underrated Boy Band: U-KISS

So U-KISS came out with a new music video yesterday entitled "Stop Girl." I think some of the members are missing or something. There have been quite a few changes in the members recently. This isn't really their best song, but I still feel like they're underrated as a boy band. They're always being overshadowed by the elites like BIGBANG, Super Junior, and 2PM. U-KISS has talent and I enjoy watching the members interact. Not that I'm saying the other bands aren't talented or enjoyable to watch. I'm just saying that not enough credit is given where it's due. 

I think as of right now, my favorite song from U-KISS is "Believe." But that's as of right now. My mood changes all the time. Actually, I really enjoy their slower songs alot. Songs like "Someday" and "0330" are great to listen to. I love listening to those songs live, especially with all the harmonizing. Amazing. I love listening to Soohyun's voice, too.
