Actor Ji Changwook is drawing intense attention with a telecom advertisement.
Recently, a telecom company selected Ji Changwook as a model and produced and released an advertising video. The ad parodies the animation 'Super Grandzo' and shows Ji Changwook transforming at an airport.
In particular, the ad is the work of advertising and film production company "Dolphiners Film", which produced the girl group NewJeans' music video and has gained popularity for its distinctive B-grade sensibility, and the strong B-grade sensibility can be felt.
In the ad, while transforming Ji Changwook screams "Aaaaaaaah" and when his mother, who called her son Ji Changwook after he arrived overseas, asks "Aren't you tired?", Ji Changwook, wearing the transformed outfit, cheerfully explains only the advantages of roaming, showing a thoroughly goofy side.
An online community posted the video under the title 'Ji Changwook's recent ad suspected of showing financial hardship', which drew attention. Ji Changwook reportedly left a comment himself saying "This is not financial hardship."
The ad has gained explosive popularity and recorded nearly 4 million views in less than a week since its release.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs even chimed in with the comment, "When you transform inside the airport, could you reduce the battle cry to about half for safety?", drawing laughter from viewers.
Meanwhile, Ji Changwook's starring film "Gunche" (director Yeon Sangho) was officially invited to the midnight screening at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, and he is carrying out his schedule.
The film "Gunche", which opens on the 21st, is about a building sealed off by an unidentified outbreak, where isolated survivors confront infected people who evolve in unpredictable ways. It is expected as director Yeon Sangho's third zombie film following "Train to Busan" and "Peninsula."
