Hey, Im trying to think of some popular Korean slogans. The only one that comes to mind is the one I hear on the radio:

"Life is wonderful" which I believe is for KT.

Can anyone tell me any others? Thanx.

KT is traditionally "Have a good time".

Samsung in Korea is "Bravo your life!"

Gentra is "Are you gentle?"

"Are You Gentle?" is my absolute favorite. I assume they're playing off the word "gentleman", but it comes off as absolutely bizarre sounding. Are you gentle? It's something a timid woman would ask before sex, not a car salesman before a sale.

I think it plays off the name "gentra". Sounds like "gentle". The Korean women I know seem to value my gentle nature and use that term a lot to describe me. I suspect GM Daewoo is playing to the Korean woman consumer. Her desire for a "gentle" car. Casting Daniel Henny, a serious heart throb for Korean women of all stripes, seems to support that notion.

I like the one coined by KT&G... Korea Tomorrow and Global. Just because it doesn't make sense.

"When I Something to Chicken, I like an Mexican!". Shocked

Digital Exciting- Anycall
Think Star- Kookmin Bank

And, of course, "Be the reds", which evidently was the winner of a national contest pre-world cup 2002.

Ha! Ha! We've got a Donkey Chicken here. I have never been near it either, but whenever I walk past I always chuckle and think to myself, 'it must have been a Really Big C0k'

Which camera is it that's really "Cooooooooooool"?

One of my least favorite company names/slogans is "We've". You forgot the frackin' present participle, you knobs!
