CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa Takes On New York City In His Latest Commercial For UnionPay

CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa strolls through Chelsea and other prominent areas of New York City, in his commercial for UnionPay's BC Card.

On September 1, UnionPay released the 30 second video through the BC Card YouTube account.

In the footage, the 26-year-old singer-songwriter and actor is depicted as an upbeat tourist who is attempting to explore Manhattan and the Outer Burroughs. He effortlessly wanders through the most congested areas of New York City including the Times Square theater district and takes the time to sit in Herald Square.

Behind-the-scenes photos depicting the Hallyu star in the process of filming the ad campaign were previously reported by KpopStarz, in an article published on August 12. In the behind-the-scenes footage, the Jung is depicted by the Hudson River, as he explores a park in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens. These shots are explored in the conclusion of the commercial.

In the 30 second ad, the CNBLUE frontman demonstrates the ability to use the BC Card to pay for for goods and services like cheesecake or a cup of coffee.

The release of his BC Card commercial preceded the publication of promotional photos for the upcoming CNBLUE release, "2Together." "2Together" follows the 2014 album, "One Fine Day" and marks a transitional period for the pop-rock quartet.

Over the past year, the members of CNBLUE have explored individual activities including regular variety show appearances by Kang Min Hyuk and Lee Jong Hyun.

In January 2015, Jung released his first solo album, "One Fine Day." The album explores various genres ranging from rock to hip-hop through high-profile collaborations.

CNBLUE returns to K-pop with "2Together," on September 14.
