The BTS members aren’t just CF kings in South Korea. Following their recent song recorded for a Coca-Cola Indonesia advertisement, they’ve scored a new role as brand ambassadors for Filipino brand Smart.

Smart, also known as Smart Communications, Inc., is a provider of cell phone data and wireless broadband. With over 75 million subscribers, Smart is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the Philippines. They also sponsored the Mnet Asian Music Awards last year. Now, after signing a deal with Big Hit Entertainment last December, they’ve officially announced that BTS will be joining them as brand ambassadors, headlining Smart’s new 2021 campaign: “Live Smarter, Live with Purpose”.

Recent data from Twitter showed that the Philippines is the fourth largest supporter of K-Pop online, following the United States, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. BTS was also the most mentioned K-Pop act in the Philippines on Twitter last year, making them the perfect choice for Smart’s campaign.

Of course, their popularity isn’t the only reason they were chosen. In a statement regarding the ambassadorship, Smart president and CEO Alfedo Panlilio credited BTS’s success to “their meaningful and uplifting music that brings hope and encouragement to fans especially in the bleakest of times“. He went on to say it’s “a big honor to welcome BTS to the Smart family“, with the hope they’ll inspire more Filipinos to find purpose and live smarter.
