Nation’s Little Sister IU has been chosen as the next chicken advertisement model.
Mexicana Chicken has revealed that IU will begin shooting for the new ads on the upcoming 12th.
Recent chicken models include popular idols such as SHINee, SNSD, KARA, and BEAST. In the case of Mexicana Chicken, the group SHINee was the spokesmodel for last year.
IU was chosen as the spokesmodel this time around, because her appeal extends to all age groups, whether male or female, young or old.
A representative from Mexicana revealed, “IU was selected because we believe her image as the Nation’s Little Sister went well with Mexicana’s image as the Nation’s Chicken” and “in 2011, we plan to hold various events together with IU.”
In the meantime, IU continues to top the charts with her single ‘Good Day’ while the public remains afflicted with ‘IU Syndrome.’

Samsung Anycall picks up ‘almighty’ IU to be their model
Samsung Electronics announced that they’ve selected IU to be the exclusive model for their Anycall brand on January 11th.
Representatives explained that they chose IU because of her success not only as a talented singer, but as a drama actress as well. Her variety of talented skills were said to have fit well with the capabilities of their Anycall product.
Samsung further explained, “Despite IU being a ‘rookie’ artist, her talents are enough to create a big bang in the industry. We cast her as our model because we believed that her variety of talents fit well with the capabilities of our Anycall. She’s truly an almighty entertainer that has so much talent in both singing and acting. She’s a definite fit to our Anycall image, and we believe she’ll be able to capture more variety of consumers. We’re looking forward to both Anycall and IU advancing into a brand that will become more loved by all generations and ages of this nation.”
IU commented, “Top stars such as Lee Hyori, Eric, BoA, Lee Junki and many others were models for Anycall, so I’m glad to be a part of this. As a singer, actress, and now a CF model, I’ll be working hard in order to become an all-around entertainer.”

IU tries to shoot a basketball
Singer IU was recently invited to shoot the starting basket for the Samsung Thunders in their Korean Basketball League (KBL) game against the LG Sakers on the afternoon of January 2nd.
Before the game started, IU tried her hand at shooting a basket as a pre-game event, and got a helping hand from Thunders player, Lee Seung Jun. She then came on during the half-time show to perform her hit songs, ‘Marshmallow‘ and ‘Good Day‘, to the 8,000 member crowd.
IU must have been a lucky charm, as the Samsung Thunders won the game 88:76.

Date: 2011-01-11 07:50 pm (UTC)Heroes is pretty great; I especially like the dynamic between all the team members though I'm sad that only the first few episodes are subbed. :'( If you have the time & chance, I'd strongly recommend checking it out. :)
