Century Tuna cameo on EXO D.O.’s album teaser

Many Filipino K-pop fans feel kilig whenever their favorite idols mention the Philippines in events or live streams. However, Filipino Dandanies or fans of D.O. from EXO were on a roll on Twitter on the evening of 15 July after seeing the Filipino brand Century Tuna in D.O.’s album teaser.

In particular, 2 cans of Century Tuna Hot & Spicy and Afritada were seen hanging out on a windowsill in a scene where D.O. watches a vase fill with water. Their airtime might have been a little short, but fans were delighted to see the Filipino product and the brand was, too – so much that they instantly announced a promo to celebrate.
