It is reported that actor Oh Young-soo, who played the lead role of 'Kanbu' Oil Nam in the Netflix drama 'Squid Game', rejected an advertisement for chicken with the same name.
Today (6th), a media reported that actor Oh Young-soo had rejected an advertisement proposal from the chicken side.
Thanks to the word 'Kanbu' that appeared in 'Squid Game', netizens asked the brand of the same name to "take an advertisement modeled after Oh Young-soo" known to have been conveyed.
'Kanbu' is a word that refers to the same team when playing games such as squid and marble. In 'Squid Game,' Oh Young-soo suggests that we play 'kanbu' first when playing marbles with Lee Jeong-jae.
With the worldwide popularity of the squid game, global netizens were interested in the unfamiliar word 'Kanbu' and used it like a buzzword.
In addition, Korean netizens were looking forward to Oh Young-soo's advertisement by voluntarily creating various memes, such as producing advertisement videos for the chicken brand using scenes from 'Squid Game'.
In response, the brand cautiously suggested to Youngsoo Oh to shoot a commercial, but unfortunately, he conveyed that he wanted to focus more on Oh Youngsoo's current acting.
The brand said that the recruitment of a new model was not successful, but they plan to continue the topic by launching a new product in line with the popularity of 'Squid Game'.
