Long time readers of this here webpage, or residents of Korea may already know of Mr. Lee Jun-gi (이준기), and how handsome he is. So I don’t really find it odd at all that companies want to get him to endorse their products. I mean he has an army of middle school aged girls waiting to obey his every command. What I don’t understand is why the producers of this commercial elected to have him sing. His voice is pretty awful. So awful is it that I can accurately immitate it (I am a horrible singer as well), and my wife cringes and either immediately changes the channel or leaves the room when it comes on the television. Anyhow…the commercial might be horrible, but the juice is not that bad. Apparently I am a pretty girl.
And here are you vocabulary words of the day. Be sure to study them as there will be a test next week.
미녀 (美女) - a pretty woman
석류 (石榴) - a pomegranate
좋아하다 - to like
Sample sentence: 미녀는 석류를 좋아해. Pretty girls like pomegranate.
Must…buy…pomegranate juice…can’t…resist…pretty…man.

The first thirty times they showed the commercial on OCN one Saturday I swore it was a chick with a sinus infection. My daughters informed me I was wrong. Go figure.

Yep, I did not get that ad at all when I saw it. Even with all the “pretty boy” celebrities these days in SK, I just didn’t get the whole sex appeal angle in this ad, with the women swooning over him.
