The members' jumping and dancing movements are intercut with sizzle cuts of tteokbokki and chicken being cooked. The scenes of the red sauce bubbling and the crispy star-shaped fries spilling out maximize the visual and gustatory experience. The ad employs the grammar of short-form content, with fast-paced transitions that ensure no dull moments.
