In Coca-Cola's Korean commercial, BTS's V asks, "Do you need something exciting?"




Core Concept: "Need a thrill?" as an emotional switch

This ad focuses on "changing your mood" rather than quenching thirst. A single question taps into the viewer's current emotions, likening a sip of Coca-Cola to a "switch that turns on the thrill." BTS's V's sophisticated mood serves as the icon of this transition.

Opening Hook: Grabbing attention within 3 seconds

The first scene awakens the senses with the sound of a carbonated pop and red accents. A silhouette or close-up of V appears, followed by a concise question. The opening draws viewers in with emotion rather than information.

Visual Tone and Manner: The Energy of Red, the Sophistication of Black

Coca-Cola red, the core color, energizes the screen. The contrast between the neutral background and the light clearly highlights the product and V. Macro captures the condensation, ice, and bubbles on the bottle's surface, creating a "visible sense of refreshment." 

V's Performance: Understated Charisma

Instead of exaggerated dancing, V expresses mood shifts through subtle changes in eye contact, facial expressions, and hand gestures. The timing of eye contact and smiles is key in transitioning from static to dynamic. The character's sophistication aligns with the brand image.

Music and Sound Design: From Minimal to Layered

The opening begins with a relaxed beat and ASMR-like, crisp carbonated sounds. The "pop" of a bottle opening, the sound of ice clinking, and the bubbles creating a sensory narrative. The rhythm builds to a crescendo in the second half.

30-Second Structure at a Glance

0–3 seconds: Hooking with question copy + V silhouette + carbonated sounds.
3–10 seconds: Suggests a somewhat listless, everyday mood → Coca-Cola appears.
10–20 seconds: Macro shots before and after a sip, along with V's facial expressions, magnify the emotional transition.
20–27 seconds: The beat, lighting, and colors come alive, accelerating the energy. 27–30 seconds: Logo/bottle closing + tagline reminder.

Copy strategy: Empathize with the question, anchor with the end card.


"Do you need something exciting?" is an engaging sentence that prompts self-answer. The main video uses minimal language to convey the experience through visuals. The final end card concisely anchors the brand, product, and message.

Product presentation key: "Visible" details

Cold condensation, clear ice, and dancing bubbles visualize the refreshing sensation. Slow and macro shots greatly expand the moment of a sip, allowing viewers to experience the thrill of the first sip even in a short time. This is a modern interpretation of the classic mise-en-scène of beverage advertising.

Target and intent: Mood change = Coca-Cola

Targeting the emotional spectrum of teens to those in their 30s, the video reinforces the mental connection of "a sip when you're feeling frustrated." The focus is on "emotional change" rather than "situation resolution," broadening the audience's motivations for use. The concise structure, which won't tire even after repeated viewings, aims for digital expansion. 

Digital Expansion: Multi-format Recuts and Engagement

In addition to the 30-second main video, 15-second, 6-second, and vertical recuts are optimized for feeds and short-form content. Bottle-opening sounds, gesture loops, and behind-the-scenes stills encourage secondary spread through memes and reactions. Hashtags and challenge-style text encourage spontaneous sharing.

Why BTS V: Brand-Persona Fit

V's understated charisma and urban image align with "a refined thrill without exaggeration." His intense visual immersion captures attention even in short cuts. His global recognition ensures the message resonates beyond borders.

Summary of Appreciation Points

Questions build empathy, sensory details showcase the experience, and an endcard solidifies the memory. In essence, the three-stage structure of "question → experience → fixation" is condensed into a 30-second video. This concise yet lingering editing encourages repeat viewings.
