South Korean seafood company Dongwon Industries is partnering with BTS member Jin to promote its new 'Dongwon Tuna.' The tuna collaboration was born from a previous song written by Jin called 'Super Tuna' wherein he expressed how much he enjoys catching tuna while fishing. The launch will see the iconic K-Pop star adorned across Dongwon Tuna cans, encouraging consumers to buy the variants with his likeness.
"We expect the healthy image of the high-protein 'Dongwon Tuna' to be well communicated to consumers through our beloved model Jin, who is known for his unique bright energy," said a company representative. "We will promote Dongwon Tuna, the representative canned tuna of Korea, to global consumers alongside the world-class artist Jin."
