The best measure of success in K-Pop used to be that you appear in a cosmetic or Soju brand commercial. For male celebrities, it was more about electronics or auto brands.

But recently we’ve seen a new, if not somewhat odd, trend emerge among some of the most successful Korean stars – appearing in outdoor brand commercials!

From Big Bang to Lee Byung Hun, Korea’s top celebrities have modeled for the world’s largest outdoor brands. Here is a list of 11 sexiest outdoor brand models in K-Pop!

Kim Hyun Joong & Kang Sora

In April, it was revealed that Kim Hyun Joong and Kang Sora were named the newest duo for Center Pole, a Swiss trekking brand.

Kim Soo Hyun & miss A’s Suzy

Kim Soo Hyun and miss A’s Suzy are models for Korean outdoor brand Bean Pole. Extending on-screen relationship from “Dream High,” the two are now dubbed the “Soo-Su Couple” for their Bean Pole commercial.

T-ara

T-ara was named the main model for Swiss outdoor brand Wild Roses this year and even released a CF before the whole Hwayoung controversy.

2PM

2PM is the main model for outdoor brand Nepa. Their commercial last year was one of the funniest TV ads in recent years!
