Actor Shin Hyun-joon's recent television appearance in Korea has unexpectedly brought Peru into the spotlight. During a taping of tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," Shin, who had recently returned from a fan event in Peru, carried a shopping bag from Wong, a major supermarket brand in Peru. The supermarket bag and Inca Kola, a popular Peruvian soft drink, both made an appearance, creating an unplanned moment of connection to Shin's hometown.
Shin shared stories from his trip and encouraged host Yoo Jae-suk to try the Inca Kola. Neither Wong nor Inca Kola were presented as part of an advertising or sponsorship deal. Wong responded to the promotional post about Shin's appearance on their official social media, tagging the actor and adding a Peruvian flag and heart emojis. The retailer also created an AI-generated image of Shin visiting a Wong supermarket.
