In the famous Korean variety show, "Running Man," it is Kim Jong Kook who is known for his perfect physique. Yet, it seems the latest advertisement for Ocean World begs to differ. Starring "Running Man's" Lee Kwang Soo, also known as Giraffe in the series, Ocean World's latest ad boasts of his amazing buff body.

Apart from Korean stars Kwang Soo and Nana, Ocean World advertisements featured other stars from South Korea. These include SISTAR, Lee Hyori, and Son Yeon Jae. Kwang Soo and Nana's pairing, male and female, for the advertisement is a first for Ocean World.

"We couple up Lee Kwang Soo and Nana to introduce the 'Youth World' concept.

The new CF featuring Kwang Soo and Nana will be released on June 30. As for Kwang Soo, this is not his first foray into Chinese commercials or advertisements. The "Running Man" star starred in the Nestle commercial for Fruitips.

In fact, the YouTube ad of Nestle Fruitips starring Kwang Soo had ranked number one as the most viewed for the first half of 2015. From the two million views alone, Kwang Soo has proven to be popular in China. He is set to star in another commercial along with Jong Kook.
