5-Day-Old Baby Hits Guinness Record as Youngest Ad Model
The five-day-old baby who appeared in the hit TV commercial for KT Corp.'s integrated telecom services has entered into the Guinness World Records as the youngest advertising model ever, the telecom company said Thursday.
Park Eun-sung has received the certificate from the Korea Record Institute on behalf of Guinness, KT said.
He was selected unanimously by the jury for the role for his amazing facial expressions, beating nine other baby contenders. The ad was taped earlier this year, just five days after Eun-sung was born and he wasn't even able to open his eyes, a KT official said.
In the popular commercial for"Qook" service, he made mysterious facial expressions and flashed a cute smile. KT picked a newly-born baby as a model to advertise the telecom service that was also on the verge of being introduced to the market.
In a certificate-awarding ceremony, Park's mother said, "Eun-sung became a star by chance. I'm pleased as it will be something good for Eun-sung to look back on when he grows up."
