Recently, actress Han Ga-in, who had addressed hidden ad suspicions by even disclosing payment records, this time visited the headquarters of a ramen manufacturer to clearly state that it was "not PPL (product placement) or an advertisement."
On the 1st, a video titled "Han Ga-in, who has tried all kinds of ramen since starting YouTube, reveals her newly developed Nongshim Neoguri menu for the first time" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Free Woman Han Ga-in.'
The video captured Han Ga-in visiting Nongshim's headquarters. Han Ga-in said, "I am not constitutionally someone who eats a lot of ramen, and I once said I had eaten fewer than 10 packs in my entire life, which got me a lot of criticism," adding, "After trying various ramens while filming for YouTube, I mastered all kinds of recipes and became a ramen enthusiast."
Before starting the tour of Nongshim's headquarters, Han Ga-in carefully addressed the background of her visit to preempt commercial suspicions.
Han Ga-in, who is usually a fan of Nongshim Neoguri ramen, emphasized, "For reference, I would like you to know that this is not PPL or an advertisement. I simply personally told the PD, 'I would like to go into the Nongshim ramen research institute once.'"
Han Ga-in added, "It was a difficult contact process, and it took a very long time to get confirmation before I could come in," clearly stating that the schedule was realized through personal curiosity and content planning intent, rather than a corporate-level advertising contract.
Previously, Han Ga-in's name had been mentioned in the controversy over the advertising method of the 'oral albumin' product raised by YouTuber Death Fox. At the time, Han Ga-in directly disclosed her product purchase records to resolve the suspicions, and the situation was settled as the YouTuber side conveyed an intention to apologize.
In this video, Han Ga-in showed a passionate demeanor by directly meeting the ramen development research team, comparing it with the ramen she had cooked herself, and even developing ramen soup herself.
Netizens reacted with comments such as "You must have been through a lot of mental stress," "Her love for ramen is evident," and "I also want to visit Nongshim's headquarters."
