IVE member Yujin recently bagged a brand endorsement for the popular Korean coffee brand Maxim, boosting her reputation as the “CF Queen” of her generation of girl group members.
With this new endorsement, she now has eight solo advertisement deals under her belt, the other brands being Fendi, Clio, Dongwon Tuna, NEPA, SUNHARI, Hana Financial Group, and Mardi. This is the highest number of solo brand endorsements among fourth-generation girl group members.
This unique achievement puts Yujin on the same list as the following iconic girl group members:
Lee Hyori (First Gen)
Lee Hyori is the first-generation girl group member with the most CFs under her belt currently. The nine brands she endorses include Reebok, Lotte Rent-a-Car, BB LAB, Pulmuone Co, Hurom, JSM Beauty, GUESS, LG DIOS Object Collection, and Ilpoom Jinro.
Suzy (Second Gen)
Idol-actress Suzy has the most number of advertisement deals among all second-generation girl group members, modeling for six brands in total. These include K2, GUESS, Sum37, Longines, Hanmac Beer, and Heydealer.
Jennie (Third Gen)
The third-generation girl group member with the highest number of CFs is BLACKPINK’s Jennie. She is currently the ambassador of eight brands, which include Chanel, Gentle Monster, Calvin Klein, Tamburins, HERA, Jacquemus, Adidas, and Maison Kitsune.
When a post outlining the CF deals of these four female idols went viral on Nate Pann, a popular Korean online community site, many netizens were impressed by Yujin’s feat and praised the longevity of the senior idols.
- “Seems like Lee Hyori-Jennie and Suzy-Ahn Yujin have similar vibes, LOL.”
