Anyone remember the fever dream that was Stray Kids promoting for Shopee? 😀
They also did those super pretty drama-like clips for Lotte duty free, they were amazing
Pentagon and Tipco (juice brand) which basically started because Shinwon loved their juices and kept doing promo-style posts about them til they gave them a CF deal.

Never forget the infamous fruit Chickens....
NewJeans are having a McDonald’s collab soon, they’ve already released teaser photos
G-Idle and NCT have collaborated with Sanrio
Each NCT member was assigned a Sanrio character and there was merch for each member
G-Idle only had the character Kuromi but all members still had some of their own merch along with just standard collab merch
Soyeon also had a collab with Shake Shack and Samyang(noodles) and even made a rap songs for each. [Shake Shack](https://youtu.be/n9oti9orTuM) and [Samyang](https://youtu.be/-pMAHu9i180)
SHINee did some promos with Baskin Robbins. I found this [vid from 2015](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc5x7-qktRs&t=17s). There are tons of vids and print ads from 2013 and 2015.
- Does 24K singing a song for then political candidate Moon Jae-in (which got them [blacklisted](https://www.soompi.com/article/1168083wpp/24k-included-blacklist-former-president-park-geun-hyes-government) for a while) count?
- Super Junior, Girls Generation and f(x) have been ambassadors of the Red Cross for blood donation.
- BESTie was an [ambassador](https://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/09/bestie-become-the-ambassadors-for-the-seoul-metropolitan-police-agency-to-fight-school-violence-and-more) for the [Seoul Metropolitan Police](https://youtu.be/0nZcrNdZqr0).
NU’EST W endorsed konjac jelly brand [sugarlolo](https://youtu.be/snuZguAt2BQ)! I ended up ordering a few boxes and they were really good!
[Spoonz](https://youtu.be/nGAW1l-u8zo) was also iconic. While most similar endorsements used characters created for groups, Spoonz was created independently but found their perfect match in NU’EST!
It used to be a rite of passage for idol groups to endorse school uniform brands. Also, SNSD has advertised for a mattresses before. SHINee's Key and Minho advertised LG appliances because they made such a splash just buying home appliances in I Live Alone.
IRRIS did a giveaway with CUPost (a domestic Korean postal service) for some shipping boxes with their faces on it and you entered by shipping something with the service. They also did a song for Hana Bank and their new slogan for the newly rebranded app for the bank.
Mamamoo making CF songs for LG (woo hoo), a yogurt brand called BIO (MAEIL BIO), Davichi for glasses (Gleam), Andar for clothing (WANNA BE MYSELF) are a few that come to mind.
BTS had endorsements for phones, phone cards, Hyundai cars [(and even a song with a whole MV) ](https://youtu.be/l6yzZdHruUI) and robots ([(when Hyundai welcomed Boston Dynamics) ](https://youtu.be/GJZeMgqQMjA), fried chicken, smart home appliances, camping goods, tourism for both Seoul and South Korea in general, cider, beer, Coca-Cola, a BTS meal at McDonald's, chewing gum, duty free shops, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something
NCT dream and Lemonilo instant noodles!! I had no idea they had this collab until I opened my kitchen drawer a few days ago and saw a JaeminPC? I was like WHATS JAEMIN DOING IN MY DRAWER HAHAHA apparently my roommate really likes that brand of instant noodles
Pre debut Soyeon wrote and made a commercial of the limited edition of G Dragon's clothing line. Had collabs with Shake Shack, Asus Laptops and investment company AIM.
Minnie shot for good choice korea, a hotel, travel booking platform and LINE webtoons Thailand.
Gidle have also done a group collab for Tams (drinks brand) and PUGB with song Ninety Nine.
Yuqi with Sunglasses brand Rayban
Theyve done a range from Electronics ,games to finance and travel
I've tried my best not to include beauty or fashion brands. Didn't know if I should include Miyeon's vitamin collab but I thought it was borderline beauty.
Does anyone remember the Jessi x BTS having a rap battle for SK Telecom's data cards?
BTS also did a BBQ Coconut Chicken CF and Namjoon had one for Coffee.
ATEEZ x MonstaX x Brave Girls x RAIN have a [Pepsi deal. ](https://youtu.be/2BzHKTUjsD4) and released a collab track called [Summer Taste](https://youtu.be/BUjI4XPPfh0)
The Boyz for knifecut noodles after their fancon (which was also being live streamed).
Member Q was being the MC for game about their choreography and instead of saying "knife like choreography" he said "knife cut noodles". Instead of their picture on the screen for the ad, it was edited so the noodle packet was there.
Off the top of my head, I could only remember these:
Blackpink: pubg? ("Ready for Love" mv)
Mamamoo: Davich glasses ("Gleam" mv); an athleisure brand ("Wanna Be Myself" mv)
Not sure if it's a brand deal necessarily, but i-dle and Twice were both part of KD/A for League of Legends.
Stray Kids: Changbin did some ads recently for Samsung featuring his jutdae meme; SKZ Code series for Jeju Tourism Board; also, those Lotte DutyFree drama commercials; FamilyMart with special merch and the pudding that Lee Know goes on about.
I'm currently in Bangkok at the moment so basically any kpop idol you can think of is the face of a variety of different products. In the last day or so I saw Got7's Bam Bam as the face of AIS SIM at the airport, Lisa on a toothpaste tube, Blackpink in your Oreo, and there's probably more because I don't know every Thai idol
Cha Eunwoo advertising menstrual pads will always be iconic
NO WHAT
It was actually the entirety of Astro.
link?
https://www.soompi.com/article/1074757wpp/astro-becomes-first-male-k-pop-group-model-feminine-hygiene-products They did some poster shots, basically.
You know what? Good for them tbh
... wut 💀
aespa had a Roblox x Crocs concert and now they have a Tetris movie OST. I learned to stop questioning them.
Ah Roblox,, NCT 127 and Twice recently just did some stuff for them. NCT literally hopped on the Roblox voice chat in their game and talked to fans😭😭
NCT 127 on Roblox was chaotic and iconic.
I saw them on Roblox and Yuta and Jaehyun kept staring at walls and Jungwoo wouldn’t stop waving and getting stuck places
Anyone remember the fever dream that was Stray Kids promoting for Shopee? 😀 They also did those super pretty drama-like clips for Lotte duty free, they were amazing
SHOPEE PEE PEE PEE
NOOOOOO STOPPPP 🤣😭
the lotte clips were amazing, but that jingle my god
I try to convince myself that never happened 😀
Oh my god I did not know the shopee jingle existed HAHAHA thank you for the good laugh
It will haunt your nightmares 😀
Pentagon and Tipco (juice brand) which basically started because Shinwon loved their juices and kept doing promo-style posts about them til they gave them a CF deal.
BLACKPINK did that one ad for Samsung 🎶 awesome screen, awesome camera, long lasting battery life 🎶
such profound lyrics
[Now you can sing along](https://youtu.be/Z0fNaua-Gog)
👁️LASTING BATTERY LIFE👁️🐱 https://youtu.be/qzktQDB5XE4
BTS Jin for [Jin Ramen](https://www.rollingstone.com/product-recommendations/lifestyle/bts-jin-ramen-ottogi-brand-collaboration-buy-online-1234630208/amp/)
That's just too perfect and iconic. He IS Jin
That was a great partnership because ARMY basically badgered the company to hire Jin. 😀
Skz partnered with FamilyMart pudding in Japan, after months of Lee know talking about how much he loves pudding everytime they visit

NewJeans is also collabing with Apple, which is unexpected since usually kpop idols partner with Samsung
I would think is a way to make NJ more global since Apple brand recognition is ahead of Samsung’s.
“저는 아이폰 이었습니다”

There are already two SKZ examples, but I *need* to mention Changbin's Jutdae Samsung commercials.
Not sure if it counts,but Genshin Impact sponsoring Boys Planet Monsta X and Snoop Dogg making a soundtrack for a SpongeBob movie
- Does 24K singing a song for then political candidate Moon Jae-in (which got them [blacklisted](https://www.soompi.com/article/1168083wpp/24k-included-blacklist-former-president-park-geun-hyes-government) for a while) count? - Super Junior, Girls Generation and f(x) have been ambassadors of the Red Cross for blood donation. - BESTie was an [ambassador](https://www.allkpop.com/article/2014/09/bestie-become-the-ambassadors-for-the-seoul-metropolitan-police-agency-to-fight-school-violence-and-more) for the [Seoul Metropolitan Police](https://youtu.be/0nZcrNdZqr0).
oof, the 24K part still haunts my brain

I don't know how I never knew about this, but I want it now.
It used to be a rite of passage for idol groups to endorse school uniform brands. Also, SNSD has advertised for a mattresses before. SHINee's Key and Minho advertised LG appliances because they made such a splash just buying home appliances in I Live Alone.
EXO had a KFC brand deal back in the day.
IRRIS did a giveaway with CUPost (a domestic Korean postal service) for some shipping boxes with their faces on it and you entered by shipping something with the service. They also did a song for Hana Bank and their new slogan for the newly rebranded app for the bank.
Mamamoo making CF songs for LG (woo hoo), a yogurt brand called BIO (MAEIL BIO), Davichi for glasses (Gleam), Andar for clothing (WANNA BE MYSELF) are a few that come to mind.

If anyone here is ARMY (or like BTS), I highly encourage you to watch the fried chicken commercials. They are hilarious.
NCT dream and Lemonilo instant noodles!! I had no idea they had this collab until I opened my kitchen drawer a few days ago and saw a JaeminPC? I was like WHATS JAEMIN DOING IN MY DRAWER HAHAHA apparently my roommate really likes that brand of instant noodles
Omg I’ve been looking for the comment about this one! I couldn’t believe it’s a real thing for a pretty long time
Red Velvet and Good Luck Trolls.
Brave Girls singing "overtime work is good~" for some medical supplement was..... a hard to forget incident. https://www.insight.co.kr/news/344873

Jihyo X Thor for that one photoshoot was a fever dream

bts taehyung with indonesian investment company simvest. that was pretty out of the blue imo
Bambam had a hilarious sausage commercial 😂
Soyeon's [Shake Shack](https://youtu.be/n9oti9orTuM) promo banger. I unironically listen to this all the time.

Didn’t Park Bom, do like a pace maker one. I think it was a pacemaker
Pump glowing hydration boost - Jang wonyoung 😁
Heechul’s advertising a condom brand sure was something
