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.

You're the Only One

So this video has actually been out for like a month now and I haven't really listened to the song until recently. It's actually a really nice song. I admire BoA's dance skills, too. I wished I could dance half as well as she can. Whenever I attempt to dance, I look so awkward. Maybe it's cuz I'm too lanky.

She really is a talented person even though I wasn't a huge fan of her song "Hurricane Venus." She's really pretty, too. I can't believe that she debuted at like 13 or 14 years old. It makes me feel so under-accomplished or something. Ughhh. It's kinda lame how little attention she got when she had her American debut. And then here comes PSY with his "Gangnam Style" and he runs away with the attention of America with no problem. Wait, what? Don't get me wrong. He seems pretty cool. It's just that his fame stems from something that seems like a total joke. His fame probably won't last that long, but who knows.
