The unveiling of Krush's advertising campaign featuring Karina was met with immediate acclaim, particularly for its innovative approach to breaking away from conventional beer marketing.

Recognizing the cultural associations of beer in South Korea with chicken, company dinners, and soju, the campaign takes a fresh perspective.

In the advertisement, Karina challenges the stereotype, expressing, "up to now, beer suits chicken, soju, and team dinners, but not me."

The advertisement showcases Karina leaving a bar, grasping a Krush beer bottle, and ascending a flight of stairs to her destination.

Seated on a solitary sofa, she takes a refreshing sip of the beer, eloquently reciting the tagline, "right on time, the 4th generation beer appears."

Korean netizens were quick to shower praise on the advertisement, commending its departure from the conventional norms of alcohol advertising.

Many applauded the strategic selection of Karina, a representative idol of the 4th generation, highlighting the synergy between the model and the brand.
