Karina and KRUSH launch a new advertisement series filled with energy, flavor, and fizz. The campaign features youthful stories, playful humor, and a message about finding refreshment in unexpected moments. While Karina captured fansβ hearts, reactions to KRUSH remain divided among online viewers.
KRUSH Launches New Campaign with Karina
Lotte Chilsung Beverage has announced a new advertisement for its beer brand KRUSH featuring girl group aespaβs Karina. The company recently renewed its contract with Karina and released a fresh campaign built around the concept of a βmassive carbonated rush.β This theme emphasizes the intensified carbonation and refreshing taste of the beer.
Karina Faces a Sudden Change and Finds Relief in KRUSH
In the first video, Karina and her friends are seen running full speed, eager for their time to come. Their energy halts suddenly when a last-minute text cancels their restaurant reservation. In this moment of disappointment, KRUSH appears as the solution, offering a fizzy refreshment that changes the mood. The commercial captures the βbursting carbonation rushβ theme by pairing youthful tension with a crisp beer break.
Party Vibes Return as Karina Chooses KRUSH for the Perfect Drink
The second video shifts to a lively party scene. Karina enjoys a perfect mix of food, mood, and energyβbut a flat beer breaks the moment. She looks at the dull beer and quips, βDo you really want to flatten the mood?β Then she confidently orders, βGive me a KRUSH, please,β bringing back the energy with a sparkling glass of beer. The scene reinforces KRUSHβs unique appealβits vibrant fizz.
MLBPARK Users React to Karinaβs βCallβ
Interestingly, the most buzzworthy video among Korean users on the community forum MLBPARK was not the main ads. It was a video clip of Karina inviting someone to join her for a glass of KRUSH over a phone call. Forum members found the video charming and joked that if Karina called, they wouldnβt dare say noβeven bringing their wives along if needed. One particularly witty comment said they would attend even as a married man, which drew laughter and agreement.
Mixed Reviews: Karina Wins, KRUSH Doesnβt
Karinaβs line, βI look especially pretty today,β received enthusiastic praise, with many fans admitting they couldnβt disagree. MLBPARK users largely admired Karinaβs charisma and charm in the ad. However, not everyone was sold on the product. While Karinaβs presence was well received, some viewers expressed that they liked herβbut not the beer. It appears KRUSH still lags behind Karina in popularity.
