Kia K5 and Forte GDi Hatchback in Athena

With Athena: Goddess of War ended in SBS a few weeks ago, and waiting for to be aired in some countries including Japan, Hong Kong, USA, or even the Philippines (we want to see it on our TV sets soon!), it might be best for me to remember that Kia Motors collaborated with Athena for some collaboration TV commercials. Kia K5 (known worldwide as the new Optima) and the Forte GDi hatchback were shown on these special commercials, even they were featured on the coolest TV drama.





If both of these Kia models (the K5 and the Forte Hatchback) and the TV drama arrived in the Philippines soon, we can all enjoy those action-packed moments!

Athena -Goddess of War- Original Soundtrack Vol. 2

Athena Original Sound Track Vol. 2
Most of the fans who watched Athena -Goddess of War- (한국: 아테나 : 전쟁의 여신) found out that this is much more better than 2009's IRIS, despite both IRIS and Athena were explosive creations from Taewon Entertainment and both of these dramas were espionage dramas, involving on an secret agent's race against time against an international terrorist organization. With the powerhouse cast of Jung Woo-Sung, Cha Seung-won, Soo Ae, and one of the finest actors and actresses in Korean TV, I'm impressed to see such a majestic performance and this Korean TV drama has the coolest appeal since IRIS.

Happy with Athena OST Volume One? There is Volume Two of the OST based on the drama! Including the songs from Park Hyo-Shin, Brown Eyed Soul, Jang Jae-In, Supreme Team and Baek Chan from Eight, you can listen from the second wave of theme songs from the series!

Please note that the in-drama BGMs (original score by Lee Dong-Jun) found in Vol.1 retained from Volume 2. Not that much of a special treat but it's a choice if you want to listen Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 of the Athena OST.

Athena -Goddess of War- Original Soundtrack Vol. 1

Athena Original Sound Track Volume 1
Athena -Goddess of War- (한국: 아테나 : 전쟁의 여신) is known by most Korean drama fans as the next IRIS, despite the drama is the spin-off from the hit 2009 Korean action drama, IRIS. It highlights on a special agent from the fictitious NTS (National Anti-Terror Service), Lee Jung-woo (played by Jung Woo-Sung), With the casting of Cha Seung-won as the villainous Son Hyeok (the leader of the terrorist organization known as ATHENA), Soo Ae as Yoon Hye-in, Lee Ji-ah as Han Jae-hui, Kim Min-jong as Kim Gi-soo, and Choi Si-won as Kim Jun-ho, Athena -Goddess of War- is proven to be as successful as IRIS, and that's not all, it even made a tie-up with Kia Motors for their vehicles served on this espionage drama.

From Seoul to Rome, Venice to Honolulu, New Zealand, all the way to China, the shooting locations of Athena was proven to be a worldwide phenomenon, highlighting most about the storyline about an agent on his mission to stop global terrorism led by the international terrorist group. The espionage drama's success leads them to release two volumes of OSTs based on the drama itself.

Athena OST Vol. 1 packs the songs based in the drama, including from Tae Yang, Kang Ta, or even from Korean-Japanese idol BoA. Once more, it includes in-drama BGMs that will made fans relieve the Athena thrill from the TV sets. Too much to handle?

Kia K5 to be featured in IRIS Spin-off

Back in late 2009, with IRIS making a huge success thanks to actor Lee Byung-hun and others, Taewon Entertainment made tie-ups with Kia Motors for the vehicles shown in this Korean action drama, including the K7 premium sedan.



Coming late 2010, Taewon Entertainment is planning a spin-off from the successful IRIS action drama, titled Athena.

Read the article:

And also according to the Korean car enthusiast site, Megaauto, the Kia K5 will be making an appearance in this IRIS spin-off drama.



Last they heard, they've seen the K5 during the Athena shooting, as far as I know. It seems to be a cold principle, but the K5 is a hard-hitting blockbuster car, defeating the Hyundai Sonata as the top-selling car of this category.

Thumbs up to Taewon Entertainment and good luck for this project, and thumbs up for Kia Motors for making the K5 successful.
