Korea’s flagship airline Korean Air has tapped the star power of K-pop group SuperM to appear in their new in-flight safety video.
Onboard safety instructions about seatbelts, electronic device restrictions and emergency exits are conveyed by seven dewy-faced boy band members who also provide the soundtrack to the video with their track “Let’s Go Everywhere.”
The video features a mix of five music genres — hip hop, R&B, electronic, deep house, and synth-pop — in an effort to capture the attention of a wide range of passengers, says Korean Air.
The safety instructions are narrated by another K-pop star, singer BoA.
Along with celebrity appearances, the five-minute video takes passengers into the future of air travel with sleek, virtual images.
