Lee Hyori needs to get her sexy back

1028hyori

Popdiva, Lee Hyori stars in a new CF for the new Tucson SUV by Hyundai Motors. She has definitely downgraded from her Vidal Sasson CF where she was driving a gorgeous convertible Audi TT. No wonder the girl is wearing sunglasses in the CF! She doesn’t want to be seen in the light of day! That’s understandable. But what I don’t understand is how the babble is related to selling the car.

Now, let’s analyze the underlying meaning of the script

(1) She is jealous of those who are prettier and younger than her.
Of course she is- the girl is getting older and younger more fresh-faced girls are right at her worn-down heels. This reveals her insecure side.

But
(2) She insists that looks aren’t everything
B.S. since Lee Hyori is ALL about the superficial with her sexy image based on scantily-clad outfits. Even the sunglasses confirm the superficial image. If she meant what she said, she should have shown her eyes.

(3) she is attracted to down-to-earth traits like honesty, freedom, and confidence
Perhaps this is why she is still single? The traits that she is looking for is difficult, if not impossible to find in the entertainment industry.

But then,
(4) calls out to all the pretty people to follow her.
She just contradicted herself. So what does she mean then? Follow her where into the SUV? Follow her superficial sexy look? Follow her to buy this bland looking SUV?

Ms. Hyori ends the shot with the lamest jump-for-joy in the history of CFs! I don’t think she even left the ground. She should have some more enthusiasm for the car she is trying to sell. I think a better sell would be if she had driven the car in this bikini and said “follow me” in a sexy steamy way.

Trying to be too cute ain’t working. She needs to get her sexy back.

  3. 3 koko October 29, 2007 at 3:48 pm

  4. 4 Dumpling October 29, 2007 at 4:20 pm

    I even watched it twice to be sure the second time it was as awful as I thought it was the first time.

    I just loved how she posed for her “jump” before she actually jumped. LOL!!

    oh yeah, hyundais also suck

  7. 7 shanny October 29, 2007 at 5:00 pm

    Not only has she lost her “sparkle” but the cf was edited really stupid. Why do we have to listen to her speak? She should just sit there and be pretty. But she cant even manage to do that.

  8. 9 DM October 29, 2007 at 5:38 pm

    What a waste of money for Hyundai. And Hyundais aren’t even that popular (at least where I’m living).

    If she’s now trying to prove she’s got more talent than showing off her body, she needs to come to a reality check. “No Hyori! Now… take it off and shake that booty.”

    great post. she sure does talk a load of ddong in that commercial

  10. 11 junsufan October 29, 2007 at 6:08 pm

  11. 12 miyaki October 29, 2007 at 6:19 pm

    the only thing i like about it is the background music
    i don’t feel the car and the errr lee hyori. funny jump she made lol

  12. 13 jenny October 29, 2007 at 6:44 pm

    hmmmmmmmm think i know what the guys are aiming for but it just does not work.. maybe she can be seen seating in a restaurant with a hot cup of coffee, dreaming or rather smiling on the sly and a guy came up to her askin for a date or something, she said no as she’s got a date with a car…

    oh dang.. wat do i know….hahahahah

  13. 14 nacom202 October 29, 2007 at 7:21 pm

    what kind of script…-_-

  14. 15 choo October 29, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    I seriously don’t like her. One being untalented.

    And the CF, a no no.

  15. 16 ew October 29, 2007 at 8:55 pm

    wtf was that!?!? it was complete eysore.. and complete earsore.. complete babble… hehe !!! the only time I see her tolerable is when she guests on Yashimanman.. but then again she completely babbles on the show..

  16. 17 Aya October 29, 2007 at 9:28 pm

    Koko you live in Tucson! AZ? I live in the Phoenix area word to my fellow AZns. Ahahahaha. Ahahaha. I should write that one down.

  17. 18 jamsk October 29, 2007 at 10:22 pm

    weird,
    esp the “jump” so to speak.
    So…
    Does she get a Tucson? :)

  18. 19 Aya October 29, 2007 at 10:58 pm

    Wait I just watched it, the jump is really wierd. I mean what a terrible commercial. I dont know if its different in Korea but here we call that ‘bad marketing’.

  19. 20 Em October 30, 2007 at 12:05 am

    because of ppl like you, everyone else believes hyundai are worthless cars. It ain’t a audi, but it’s hyundai and they are good cars. have some love.

  20. 21 Em October 30, 2007 at 12:06 am

    Oh and Hyori is sexy as always. She just needs to work on the acting part.

  21. 22 Mimi October 30, 2007 at 12:07 am

    not that I like the CF.. but if Hyori showed her eyes and dress mor sexy..wouldn’t ppl just hate her too?
    I mean.. either way it ends in comments about what she shouldn’t have done…
    not that I’m a huge fan.. but I begin to feel sorry for her…somehow…

    but.. yeah.. can’t help laughing… the CF is weird ^^

  22. 23 kp October 30, 2007 at 1:00 am

    lmao. you’re so cynical in all your posts.

  23. 24 Judy October 30, 2007 at 2:34 am

    so sick of this girl…

  24. 25 the count October 30, 2007 at 3:18 am

    She’s under no obligation to look for a mate within the entertainment industry. I’d like to offer myself up to her, as even if I must say so myself I think I meet those criteria well enough :D

    (hmm, nothing in there about humility, right? ;-)

  25. 26 Dumpling October 30, 2007 at 3:38 am

    “I dont know if its different in Korea but here we call that ‘bad marketing’.”

    We also call it “bad acting” and “bad directing”. I blame the director on the choppy “confession” style dialouge and editing, and for making her look stupid with that jump. I blame Hyori for just being herself.

  26. 27 cindel October 30, 2007 at 3:42 am

    No, she doesn’t. She needs to GTFO.

  27. 28 Cutie October 30, 2007 at 5:20 am

    I agree with Mimi… sometimes she gets a kick for being too sexy… but when she gets a bit lower, she’s not sexy enough.. lol.

    Ohwell. The CF was o-kaaay. At least, not the worst I’ve seen so its not that bad.

    Hyundai are nice tho… pretty comfy and safe… and cheaper when it comes to price *0*

  28. 29 Rayne October 30, 2007 at 6:03 am

    LAWL! go go pop! :D that was hilarious! totally correct analysis…

    lee hyori, in the end, really is just another sexy shallow face. (rather disappointing…)

  29. 30 fayta October 30, 2007 at 8:00 am

    though the script was lameeeeeee… and i got a kick out of that “jump”.. he he he…. i thought she was bubbly as ever, which makes her way adorable…so didn’t care for the commercial, but still liked it… get it? lol

  30. 31 daneil October 30, 2007 at 8:57 am

    yeah they could have done a better job than that

    she should go away and take a break for a couple of years

  31. 32 Cutie October 30, 2007 at 9:03 am

    LoL daneil.. and than she’d definitely be old!

  32. 33 daneil October 30, 2007 at 11:24 am

    ^ well shes still very pretty
    i just think she should lay low for a while.

    AND brush up on her singing or acting whatever direction she wants to go.

  33. 34 gg October 30, 2007 at 2:08 pm

    wow, i like hyori but that CF sucked…

  34. 35 WillIRememberMe October 30, 2007 at 2:38 pm

    wow, Hyori is gettin up there to 30 soon and yet not one ounce of her harbors the “ughs” and eye rolls I see here. THat’s why I know she’s gonna age like a real lady, b/c she’s gonna have a boyfriend who actually likes a happy actress and not girls who criticize other girls all the time ;p

    seriously, the message is for beautiful girls to not be superficial. And that was the cutest jump I ever saw Hyori make.

    Of course, if you think you can jump better, climb on top of your bed and show your parents how its done…or something.

  35. 36 marcel October 30, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    laaaaaaaame XP

  36. 37 Dovey October 30, 2007 at 2:54 pm

    Okay…the commercial looked stupid, and she did have her shades off, but at those times she was shot from far away. I wonder if she requested for the CF team to do it like that when she’s not donning shades? lol

  37. 38 ? October 30, 2007 at 4:56 pm

    I think she’s looks more on cute rather than sexy side.I mean look at her face?she has baby face.I don’t know why people think she’s sexy?Maybe it’s because of her dancing style who knows.Plus she should stop being sexy,its already past due.I think it was good comercial ,but what ever people got different opinions here obviously.

  38. 39 chiaye October 30, 2007 at 8:34 pm

    -___-;; i am one oddball of the entire POPSEOUL readers.. i see nothing wrong with hyori’s jumping. I thought it was overall cute.. its the basic commercial i see on TV.. whenever i turned on the TV that is… it’s either you guys are never exposed to much commercials or i have not seen enough commercials to compare..

  39. 40 ? October 31, 2007 at 8:49 am

    Chiaye,you not oddball.I agree with you ,i think it was good commercial .Hyori was quiet cheerful and happy here.I don’t know why so many people here disliked it?Everybody got different opinions that’s all.

  40. 41 .. November 1, 2007 at 12:17 pm

    Hyori is hottttttt.Cute commercial.

  41. 42 sweet November 6, 2007 at 9:19 pm

    I agree with all your comments! It’s just weird and odd that she hides her eyes with those big sunglasses.

  42. 43 sweet November 6, 2007 at 9:32 pm

    hiding her eyes behind it made it look like she feel awkward about herself.

  43. 44 xiah babe November 1, 2008 at 4:02 am

    lol she’s cute she doesn’t need to be sexy

  44. 45 babynight July 22, 2009 at 4:43 pm

    well shes kinda okay, but whats with that jump seriously?!!
    somebody tells me it wasnt a jump plz..!!! it just looks terrible!! the CF wasnot appealling at all…
