There are many types of fame, and what I find interesting is using one’s name to promote a product. In America, country musicians and pop stars are likely to put their name on a type of booze or a restaurant in Nashville. But in Korea, pop stars are not paid as well, so they will take other types of endorsements. Like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea who this guy is, but this was at a skincare place in London, and he has nice skin, so I assume he’s a member of some pop group. And that going into the shop would result in beautiful skin (so why didn’t I try?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was for sale at a local convenience store and feature the group Seventeen. I hope they got paid in money and not just a lifetime supply of crunchy snacks. (One guy looks photoshopped in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two of the guys in Stray Kids don’t seem to be that enthusiastic about whatever this snack might be. I spotted this in a grocery store in San Francisco, and I suppose if one is a fan, this is the snack to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This person from 17 is following in the footsteps of American popstars, he’s flogging booze (which is something most people like.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the most famous K-Pop group in the world. They should be incredibly rich, but they’re not too famous to do an endorsement. And of course I rushed to the store (I went to two actually) on the first day that these were available to buy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was part of the reason, they are purple, and have different designs on them. So they are Hoettok flavored (cinnamon) and very sweet, and I thought these were perfect. And I plan to eat them (not all at once), so this could be the endorsement that matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
