Beverage giant Coca-Cola recently announced Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, as their new ambassador for Coke Zero in South Korea, bringing his signature blend of charisma and cool to the brand.
“V brings powerful energy on stage and an effortlessly trendy charm offstage,” a Coca-Cola spokesperson said. “He’s the perfect match for the spirit of Coca-Cola – bold, free, and magnetic.”
For Taehyung, a lifelong Coke drinker, the partnership is more than just business. “I’m really happy to team up with a brand I’ve always loved,” he said. “Through the Best Coke Ever campaign, I’m excited to share the refreshing thrill of Coca-Cola Zero in a whole new way.”
Following the announcement, the teaser video for the “Best Coke Ever” campaign was unveiled. In the clip, Taehyung is seen watching a commercial featuring a dinosaur asking, “Is this the best Coke ever?” to which he responds with a playful line: “Yes! I’ve got to try it, right?”
The teaser quickly gained momentum, surpassing 11 million views on Instagram within the first 24 hours, a testament to Taehyung’s unmatched influence and global reach.
