Siddhant Chaturvedi and K-Drama star Chae Soo Bin feature in a romantic Crocs Japan ad, leaving fans stunned by their unexpected yet adorable chemistry. Watch now!
Bollywood heartthrob Siddhant Chaturvedi and South Korean actress Chae Soo Bin surprise fans with their sizzling onscreen chemistry in a new Crocs Japan ad.
In a year filled with cinematic surprises, one of the most delightful and unexpected collaborations of 2025 has just arrived—Bollywood star Siddhant Chaturvedi and Korean actress Chae Soo Bin sharing screen space in a newly released Crocs Japan commercial. The ad has taken the internet by storm, uniting desi film buffs and K-drama loyalists in shared excitement and awe over a crossover no one saw coming.
The commercial is a heartwarming visual treat that feels straight out of a feel-good rom-com. It opens with Siddhant and Soo Bin crossing paths under a cloudy Tokyo sky. Their encounter starts with a misunderstanding—icy glares and awkward silence—but soon gives way to friendship as they stroll side by side in their Crocs. A playful rain shower sets the stage for a poetic connection, as their chemistry quietly unfolds, drenched in a shared moment of joy and surprise. The visual cues, the emotional beats, and the soft instrumental score have reminded many of iconic K-drama tropes with a dash of Bollywood soul.
Clips from the ad have gone viral across platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok, with fans expressing their disbelief and amusement at the pairing. One user wrote, “Siddhant Chaturvedi and Chae Soo Bin? My multiverse just broke!” Another quipped, “An Indian actor, a Korean actress, a Japanese brand—this is what globalization truly looks like.” Reels and reaction videos have been pouring in, with netizens making memes, romantic edits, and even imagining full-fledged dramas starring the two.
While the commercial was created for Crocs Japan, its emotional universality and cross-cultural casting have struck a deeper chord with audiences globally, signaling a rising trend in pan-Asian collaborations. Industry insiders speculate that this could open doors for more cross-border ad campaigns and even film projects between India and South Korea, especially with the booming popularity of Korean content in India and vice versa.
For Siddhant Chaturvedi, this project adds another global feather to his cap. The actor, known for his breakout in Gully Boy and subsequent performances in Gehraiyaan and Phone Bhoot, has consistently been exploring unconventional scripts and roles. He will next be seen in Dhadak 2, alongside Triptii Dimri, a film that has already stirred discussion due to its sensitive themes. He also has Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling in the pipeline, which co-stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Jaya Bachchan, promising an ensemble-driven emotional drama.
Chae Soo Bin, on the other hand, continues to make waves after her gripping performance in Netflix’s When The Phone Rings, a psychological thriller that became a smash hit in Korea and abroad. Despite criticisms over its abrupt and divisive ending, her portrayal earned acclaim, and this new international campaign cements her growing popularity beyond South Korean shores.
What makes this collaboration particularly heartening is the lack of gimmickry. The chemistry between the two actors is sincere and organic. With minimal dialogue and strong non-verbal cues, the ad tells a universal story of connection—an ode to chance meetings, awkward beginnings, and moments that bloom into something unexpectedly beautiful.
While there’s no official word on any further collaboration between Siddhant and Soo Bin, fans have already begun demanding a full-length film or K-drama featuring the duo. “Give them a movie already! I didn’t know I needed this pairing until now!” read one fan comment.
