Accomplished. Elegant. Articulate. South Korean actress and star of the recent hit TV drama series “Crash Landing on You” Son Ye-jin embodies everything that Smart Signature stands for. After so much anticipation, Smart Communications Inc.(Smart) officially unveils its latest postpaid campaign featuring Ye-jin.

After Smart launched its “Smart Ako” campaign with South Korean actor Hyun Bin, it was almost a given that Son Ye-jin would star in one of telco’s campaigns.

2018 Miss Universe Catriona Gray was the first endorser of Smart Signature, which was launched last year.

“Son Ye Jin’s appeal is undeniable among Filipinos who have been swept by the Korean wave, and we are thrilled to fulfill their wish,” said Jane Basas, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Wireless Business, Smart, in a media release. “This is one way of supporting the Hallyu passion of our customers, who put their trust in our network so they can binge-watch the latest K-dramas, stream K-Pop hits, and stay updated on their K-idols online.”

“I wanted to go to the Philippines and shoot,” said Son Ye-jin in a prerecorded Q&A. “The fans who loved the drama sent me so many messages of support on social media. It’s just so sad that I could not come to see all the fans in person but I’m always very thankful and happy to be able to meet them in this way.”

Son Ye-jin is one of South Korea’s top celebrities with several Baeksang (the country’s most prestigious entertainment award-giving body) acting awards tucked under her belt. She is also a favorite lead in many romantic TV series. In 2018, she starred in the film “The Negotiation” opposite Hyun Bin.
