Yoon Chan-young's name has been on the rise lately. Chan-young gained fame after playing the lead role, Lee Cheong-san in the Netflix drama All of Us Are Dead. This drama immediately became popular at the beginning of its release at the end of January 2022. All of Us Are Dead itself tells a group of students who are trapped in school because of a zombie apocalypse.
Shortly after the release of All of Us Are Dead, Yoon Chan-young was chosen to be the brand ambassador of luxury brand, Coach, for Korea. This is quite surprising, considering that Chan-young is only 20 years old. This 2001-born actor became the first Coach brand ambassador for Korea.
This announcement was made via Yoon Chan-young's own Instagram on @yooncy1 and Vogue Korea on March 3. Along with the announcement, Vogue Korea released a photo shoot of this young actor with Coach products.
Launching from Instagram Vogue Korea, Coach plans to launch an advertising campaign for the Spring 2022 collection. The advertising campaign includes Coach products from leather goods, bags and shoes. For the Spring 2022 collection, Coach will launch an advertising campaign with Yoon Chan-young. For starters, Coach showcased the Spring 2022 denim and hitch backpack that the talented young actor brought to him.
Yoon Chan-young expressed his joy in collaborating with this luxury brand, "I am very happy with Coach, the brand that I love to wear and inspire the most. I look forward to collaborating with Stuart Vevers in the future," he said, quoted from Vogue Korea.
Stuart Vevers is known to have served as executive creative director for Coach since 2014. The selection of Coach's brand ambassador for Korea for the first time is certainly not arbitrary. Seeing Yoon Chan-young's talent and fame through the drama, All of Us Are Dead, Coach believes that Chan-young is the right choice to represent Coach. Because, Chan-young is considered perfect in representing the values that Coach brings, namely optimism and the courage to be authentic.
Yoon Chan-young himself made his debut as a child actor. According to StarN News, he appeared in the 2014 films The Legacy and Manhole. Chan-young also appeared as a young actor in a number of well-known dramas such as Six Flying Dragons (2015), Dr. Romantic (2016), The Bride of Habaek (2017) and Still 17 (2018).
