Coca-Cola, a brand of Atlanta-based The Coca-Cola Co., introduced the newest addition to the Coca-Cola Creations lineup and the second drop for 2024: Coca-Cola K-Wave Zero Sugar. Offering a limited-edition flavor and experiences, Coca-Cola K-Wave Zero Sugar celebrates fans and their infinite devotion for K-Pop artists. The launch of the new Creation will give fans the exciting opportunity to engage with K-Pop artists in unexpected ways in both the digital and physical world.
Unlocking the shared experience of Real Magic, Coca-Cola K-Wave Zero Sugar creates an electrifying universe that brings K-fans and idols together to celebrate the unique expression of every unrivalled devotion. When consumers open a can of Coca-Cola K-Wave Zero Sugar, they will experience the excitement they felt when they first became a K-Pop fan, the company says. With every sip of Coca-Cola K-Wave Zero Sugar, consumers will recognize the refreshing, Coca-Cola taste infused with a burst of fruity-flavored K-Pop magic, it adds.
In addition to the new limited-edition flavor, three of the hottest K-Pop groups, Stray Kids, ITZY, and NMIXX, as well as the founder of JYP Entertainment, J.Y. Park, have created unexpected experiences for devoted fans. As part of this collaboration, the groups have teamed up to drop the ultimate K- Pop anthem song and music video called “Like Magic,” produced by J.Y. Park. The full song and video will be available on JYP Entertainment's YouTube channel.
As part of the song and video drop, fans have the chance to embark on the “Like Magic” Fan Music Video AI Experience, an AI-powered journey allowing fans to immerse themselves directly into the vibrant world of a K-Pop music video, sharing the screen with their idols.
Coming soon to the Digital Experience, fans can personalize their cameo by embedding their voice, name, and face into various segments of the K-Wave anthem song music video, “Like Magic.” Once finished, users can easily download and share their personalized music video cameo with friends on social media.
