The Campaign

Hyundai Card, a Korean credit card company, wanted to encourage young Korean people striving for success to live their own life, using its corporate philosophy, ‘make break make’. ‘make break make’ means breaking the existing rules by taking new challenges. Through such, Hyundai Card wanted to break the status quo of credit card market focusing on 30s and 40s. Its goal was to establish a more intimate relationship with potential customers, the 20s. We created ‘contents’, not just another conventional ad that 20s can enjoy and spread. We made a rap song ‘make break make’ sung by ‘MC Yupgilosae’ the parrot.
