Hitejinro Unveils First Global Campaign My Favorite Jinro with V of Bts

JINRO, the world’s No. 1 soju brand, unveiled its first global campaign, My Favorite JINRO, featuring global ambassador V of BTS. Having named V of Pop Royalty BTS as its global ambassador, JINRO created the campaign to communicate its brand values in a more approachable way and share the joy of everyday moments with consumers around the world. Beginning with the premiere of the main campaign film, My Favorite JINRO will roll out a diverse range of marketing initiatives, including digital content, consumer engagement events, and offline promotions, to connect with consumers worldwide. The main campaign film showcases V’s commanding charisma and playful charm through refined cinematography. After being invited to a party, V mistakenly arrives at the wrong venue, resulting in an unexpected twist where guests from both parties come together with V to enjoy JINRO. Through this story, the film conveys JINRO’s youthful and trend-forward brand image while reinforcing its brand message of bringing people together and creating special moments. The campaign film also incorporates symbolic elements representing JINRO’s global expansion strategy. Room 306 refers to the three regular soju products and six flavored soju varieties currently available in global markets, while Room 307 symbolizes JINRO’s plan to expand its flavored soju lineup to seven or more varieties. By continuing to introduce products that reflect the diverse preferences of consumers around the world, JINRO aims to further strengthen its brand competitiveness. The campaign film will be available on JINRO’s official global YouTube channel, as well as its official Instagram and Facebook channels. Alongside the campaign film, JINRO unveiled “Fill The Moment” as its new global tagline, which encapsulates the brand philosophy of bringing presence, warmth, and human energy into everyday experiences while naturally accompanying meaningful moments of connection and togetherness.
