SNSD brings a 400% increase in sales for ‘Woongjin Coway’

‘Woongjin Coway’ is feeling the ‘SNSD effect’, as they’ve just reported a 400% increase in sales since the girls began modeling for their brand!

Representatives of Woongjin Coway revealed, “Ever since SNSD’s CF for our ice water purifier first began airing last April, sales for our water purifiers rose 400% in the second quarter compared to the previous year. Our recent releases have also been receiving the same effect, showing a higher rise in sales than ever before.”

SNSD signed on with the brand last March and have been promoting their ‘Coway, Look After Mom’ campaign. They’ve strengthened the brand’s image as the nation’s #1 water purifier and even managed to bring in consumers in their 20’s and 30’s when the brand previously only catered to those in their 40’s and 50’s.

Their influence doesn’t stop there, as Woongjin Coway also recently held an online survey with 100 women (aged between 25 and 39) asking two questions: which water purifier brand do you think of first and which brand do you prefer?

Woongjin Coway came out on top with 81% and 56% of the votes respectively. Their marketing team explained, “SNSD’s CF campaign has not only brought in a rise in sales, but also a new consumer base of those in their 20’s and 30’s. We’ll continue to use innovative marketing tactics with SNSD to continue our mark as the #1 water purifier brand.”

Girls' Generation's Tiffany Shares Her Thoughts on Musical Debut

At the press conference held on the 30th of August,Tiffany revealed, “While the other members of Girls' Generation were doing their musicals I was also steadily practising my acting and singing”

Tiffany is the third Girls’ Generation member after Taeyeon and Jessica to participate in a musical. Her role in the upcoming musical "Fame", is a rebellious girl with a burning passion to become a star called Carmen Diaz.

Tiffany also shared with everyone, “Luckily I came upon a role that I have confidence in. If I encounter any difficulty, I can ask for advice from my friends who have already debuted in musicals. Something I have in common with my character is that in America I had dreams of becoming a singer so I came to Korea, and after going through my training period, I debuted. During my trainee days I had that passion and I think it will be easy to express the person that I was not too long ago. We have similarities and we have differences too so I must work hard at that to fulfill the role."

Tiffany stated that she is preparing a lot for her first musical challenge and said, “As of now I can’t explain how I will perform, but I’m studying the movie closely and watching the musical again. I am continually practicing the script and music. I want to act naturally so that the audience will be able to sympathize with the character.”


Based on the 1980 film of the same name, the musical, "Fame", premiered in 1988 and has had productions all over the world. The musical was first introduced to Korea in 2005. This is a teen musical that takes place in La Guardia, an Arts school in New York, and it shows the dreams and sorrows of aspiring artists who have wishes of becoming stars.
