Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has made his Korean media debut, and fans are both curious and confused. He stars opposite popular K-drama actress Chae Soo-bin in a new Crocs Japan ad that feels like a mix of rainy-day romance and a dreamy fantasy. But the unusual style and Siddhant’s changed look have left some fans upset and questioning the creative choices.
Siddhant Chaturvedi Makes Korean Debut
The ad opens with Chae Soo-bin walking on a rainy street when Siddhant drives by and splashes her with muddy water. Then, his car breaks down, and she offers him an umbrella. They walk together, teasing each other in a scene that blends Bollywood romance with Korean charm, but doesn’t fully capture either.
Fans enjoy the quirky vibe, with some wondering if Siddhant could become the first Indian to star in a Korean show. However, many fans notice something strange about Siddhant’s look. “How much whitening was done for this ad?” some ask, saying his skin looks much lighter than usual.
Others joke that the video looks almost AI-generated because of how different he appears. This response shows that not everyone is happy with how Siddhant appears in this ad.
Global Pop Culture Crossover
This ad is part of a bigger trend where the Indian and Korean entertainment worlds are mixing. Since all the celebrities like Diljit Dosanjh collaborating with K-pop artists and BTS’s Jin working with Hollywood actors, the line between East and West is rapidly disappearing.
Despite it looking random, Siddhant’s Korean debut shows exactly how Indian actors are gradually making their way into the international pop arena. All the fans are paying careful attention to this Crocs commercial, even if they are unsure of their thoughts, regardless of whether it is a bizarre commercial or the beginning of a new chapter for Siddhant in Korean entertainment.
