JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun was chosen as the model for the new Ottogi ramen “Giseu Myun.” His CF for the ramen brand has been playing on Korean TV since December 12. Now Park Yoo Chun now has 4 different CF deals: Nintendo Wii, TIO, and Blacksmith. Also, there are a lot more if you include the commercial model deals he has with other JYJ members such as NII and LG Optimus Q2. Park Yoo Chun’s representative stated, “Park Yoo Chun is receiving a lot of love calls for commercials. If we include the commercials that we had to deny because it overlapped with another commercial I think we received nearly 1~2 commercial offers every day. It seems that Park Yoo Chun’s scarcity value increased because it is hard to see him on television other than dramas.
