Korean idols ZE:A, who are currently on tour in Asia, will be shooting a television commercial for a Thai snack this week, according to their agency Star Empire Entertainment on Tuesday.

A PR official from Star Empire told 10Asia over the phone that the boys will be shooting the commercial for United Foods Public Company Ltd.'s YOYO Jelly on July 28.

United Foods established in 1975, has been the leading Thai manufacturer and exporter of confectionery products. They are best known for their candies, jellies, biscuit sticks, wafers and chocolates.

“The members of ZE:A have been working hard in preparing for the commercial, as well as their showcase to be held at the Siam Paragon the following day,” the rep explained, adding that the boys have received offers from various countries in Asia for fan meetings and commercials.

The group flew into Thailand yesterday and will be in the country till the end of the month to promote themselves in several nations in Asia including Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore which is part of the government-based Korea Creative Content Agency's program to support idol stars' careers overseas.

The nine-member boy band splashed onto the local music scene last January with their mini-album "Nativity" featuring their title track "Mazeltov." They released a follow-up record in April titled "Leap for Detonation" and third single album "Level Up" earlier this month.
