Century Tuna Cans Spotted On D.O. of EXO’s Album Teaser, Brand Jumps Onto The Hype With Shopee Promo

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.

The brand caught wind of their unexpected product placement just as the topic was all over Filipino stan Twitter. In response, they wasted no time in introducing a P50 off promo for Century Tuna products on Shopee. They even used the voucher code “CENTURYDO” as a nod to the K-pop idol.

Vouchers can be claimed until 16 July and can be used only until 31 July.

The teaser where the Filipino product made its cameo appearance is one of the mood sampler videos for D.O.’s first mini-album Empathy. The album is set to drop on 26 July at 6PM Korea Time, or 5PM Philippine Time.

More teasers will drop before the album release date, so Filipino fans will surely have their eyes peeled open for other familiar products.

This is not the first time K-pop fans have seen Filipino products on idols’ promotional content. In fact, fans are speculating about whether there may be a Filipino staff member at SM Entertainment, D.O.’s entertainment agency, after multiple sightings of Filipino products in artists’ photos and videos.

Other SM artists, specifically members of the boy group NCT, have also been photographed with other Filipino products.


Century Tuna jumps onto K-pop hype


Century Tuna made the right decision to ride onto the hype of D.O.’s album – scoring an advertising opportunity for themselves and free entertainment for Filipino fans.
