BTS Becomes The Face Of Coca-Cola Thanks To Their Fans
BTS has become the official face of Coca-Cola thanks to A.R.M.Ys, who asked the company for months to make the members their models!
BTS has become the models for Coca-Cola‘s Russia FIFA World Cup 2018 campaign.
It all started back in September 2017 when fans posted pictures of V with a coke can and asked Coca-Cola’s Twitter to make him their model.

Coca-Cola responded, saying it wasn’t possible because of the company’s hiring processes.
Sorry, our agencies typically hire for us through talent agencies that operate in the area where they are producing the ads.
— Coca-Cola (@CocaCola) September 21, 2017
But fans continued to request Coca-Cola, making promises to stop drinking other brands if they hired BTS.
I will never drink Pepsi again if you sign him up

That's 8 million armys (& counting) who will drink coke forever.

I'll drink Coca Cola at morning. Evening, night. Everything.
Only if they take Bangtan— Yoongiverse (@9M1993) September 21, 2017

But it seems like Coca-Cola was listening, because now the official sponsor for the FIFA World Cup – which will kick off in June – announced its new campaign with BTS at the forefront!
“We chose BTS as our models because their powerful energy on stage and passion for music matched well with the heat of the World Cup that everyone in the world enjoys, and the happiness that Coca-Cola brings in the hot summer. Starting with the Russia World Cup, Coca-Cola will be working with BTS to bring an exciting, special experience for the summer that consumers will enjoy.” — Coca-Cola
A.R.M.Ys are updating the old Twitter threads, thanking Coca-Cola for listening to the fans!

They’re also helpfully coming up with ideas for the campaign.
Remember a few years back, for the 2010 Fifa cup Coca Cola made soccer ball shaped coke bottles.
What. If. They. Make. Them. Again. But. BTS. Themed. Ones. For. The. 2018. Cup.

ok but how great would it be if BTS were on coke cans?? imagine if you had to collect every member on a can and once you get all 7 you answer questions and win a private concert?#FIFAWorldCup_BTS

They did this in my country, where every bottle has a name and if you get lucky you can buy a bottle with your name in it. Imagine doing the same with BTS. Then it becomes a prescription for every army to at least drink 7 bottles of coke a day. Hahaha.

It’s all thanks to A.R.M.Y’s perseverance!
