Purpose - The use of celebrity endorsers is a strategy long-since used by companies to improve the persuasive impact of their company's advertising. However, much like anyone else, celebrities are flawed human beings, and therefore often find themselves involved in scandals. Companies must consider the potential of scandals when using a celebrity endorser to represent their brand or product. This research focuses on the process consumers use to justify scandals involving celebrity endorsers. Specifically, this research divides the justification processes used by consumers to maintain support for celebrities involved in a scandal into moral decoupling and moral rationalization and proposes antecedents and consequences for these processes. Methodology - To verify the hypotheses suggested by this study, an online survey was conducted, and data was analyzed using a structural equation model. Result - Results showed that consumer empathy for the celebrity endorser and external attribution of the scandal presented were positively related to moral decoupling and moral rationalization. In addition, moral rationalization was positively related to consumers' attitude towards the celebrity endorser, which also enhanced brand attitude. However, the relationship between moral decoupling and the consumer's attitude toward the celebrity endorser was not statistically significant. Conclusion - This research serves to expand the scope of available research on the persuasiveness of celebrity endorsers and provides practical guidelines for marketers.

복수 유명인 옹호광고는 광고 캠페인에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 형태다. 그러나, 복수 유명인 옹호광고의 효과에 관한 연구는 많지 않다. 특히 본 연구는 복수 유명인 옹호광고에 미치는 영향 요인들에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 포트폴리오-브랜드 적합도, 포트폴리오-유명인 적합도, 그리고 포트폴리오 유명인-소비자 적합도라는 요인들이 복수 유명인 옹호광고 상황에서 광고태도 및 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 세가지 요인들로 실험에 포함되었다. 연구결과, 포트폴리오-브랜드 적합도, 포트폴리오-유명인 적합도, 그리고 포트폴리오 유명인-소비자 적합도는 소비자들의 광고태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인들임이 밝혀졌다. 더 나아가, 이 세가지 요인들간의 상관관계가 통계학적으로 유의미한 중요성을 가지고 있다는 것이 나타났다.

The paper aims to explain the influence of celebrity endorser on consumers' purchase intention, and explain the influence of brand perception on purchase decision in regard to the case of OPPO F-series and singer Son Tung MTP, in the Vietnamese context. Advertisement is regarded as the fastest and most effective communication method for brands to build an association and attract their target consumers. Among various types of communication tools, the use of celebrity endorsement is considerably growing owing to the explosion of social platforms. This study employs survey data from 258 people living and working in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Then, those data were used to analyze the general hypotheses by conducting research reviews based on foregoing investigations. The results from data analysis reveal that celebrity's physical attractiveness, credibility, popularity, expertise, match-up, and multiple endorsements all have positive impacts on purchase intention. The findings from this study would suggest that brands, in general, and smart-phone brands, in particular, should not only focus on these attributes to select a suitable brand endorser, but also need to predict some potential risks when utilizing celebrity endorsement. Finally, various implications and recommendations for further studies and marketers are also discussed.

중국의 다양한 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 명품을 판매하고 있다. 기업은 소비자의 지각된 위험을 낮추고자 유명한 연예인을 광고 모델로 활용하거나 기업의 사회공헌활동 (이하 CSR)을 공개한다. 본 연구는 지각된 위험이 명품판매 쇼핑몰 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 CSR 정보와 유명인 모델이 어떻게 조절하는지 살펴보고자 하였다. 정교화가능성모델에 따르면, 지각된 위험이 크면 중심경로를 이용하게 되어 주제와 직접적인 정보를 처리하게 되므로 주변 단서인 유명 모델과 CSR활동 정보의 영향은 의미가 없게 된다. 가설검증을 위해 2(지각된 위험 고·저)×2(사회공헌활동정보 유·무)×2(유명인 광고모델 유·무) 집단 간 실험설계를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 지각된 위험이 낮을 때에는 유명인 광고모델과 CSR 정보를 각각 제시하였을 때의 쇼핑몰 사용의도(광고모델 있음: 3.407, CSR 있음: 3.29)가 제시하지 않았을 때(광고모델 없음: 2.88, CSR 없음: 2.779)보다 높았다. 그러나 지각된 위험이 높을 때에는 유명인 광고모델 및 사회공헌활동 정보 제시는 유의미한 효과가 나타났지 않았다. 따라서 유명인 모델과 CSR 정보 등 주변 단서는 소비자가 주변경로를 활용할 수 있는 저관여 상황, 저위험 상황에서 효과가 있음을 보여주는 연구로서 의의가 있다고 하겠다.

Purpose of the research: This study aims to explain the state of marketing using fun among recent popular marketing strategies. Although companies are using various differentiated marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge, among them, fun marketing has constituted the most effective area of interest recently. Research design and methodology: To extract the customer selection attributes of fun marketing, after reviewing the literature, six optional attributes were selected from the factors of fun marketing towards consumers such as funny design, language play, celebrity use, funny taste, how to eat, and newtro (new + retro). Out of 300 questionnaires, 276 were used for analysis, excluding unscrupulous or incomplete questionnaires. The results were reviewed for validity and reliability using SPSS andAMOS, and the hypothesis was verified using structural equation modelling (SEM). Principal results: The results showed that funny design, language play, and newtro statistically significantly affected customer satisfaction, but celebrity use, funny taste, and eating methods had no significant effect. It was also confirmed that satisfaction had a statistically significant effect on repurchase intention.

While Facebook and Twitter get worldwide attention, these popular SNSs are not available in China. As the leading local SNS, Sina Weibo has garnered much of the attention in China. The purpose of the study was to explore why Chinese college students use Sina Weibo and if gender differences exist in the motivations for using it. The results from a survey of 360 respondents show that Chinese students used Sina Weibo mainly for information-gathering, followed by accessibility to celebrity, social connection, self-presentation and entertainment. Among them the most dominant reason for using Sina Weibo was found to be information-gathering. This finding suggests that Sina Weibo functions as a platform to search for information on social issues and interests. The study also found that these motivations were significantly different between male and female users. Interestingly, female respondents used Sina Weibo much more broadly than male counterparts, accessing it to satisfy all needs such as information gathering, accessibility to celebrity, social connection, self-presentation and entertainment. Based on these findings limitations and direction for future studies are discussed.

드라마 제작에 있어서 스타배우의 기용은 드라마 수익의 중요한 요건인 시청률 확보에 있어서 중요한 원천이 되지만 이와 동시에 드라마 비용 상승의 중요한 원인이 되기도 한다. 그러므로 어떠한 상황에서 스타배우를 기용하는가에 대해 조사하는 것은 드라마 기획 과정에서 불확실성을 관리하는 방식에 대해 파악하는 단서가 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국에서 방영된 텔레비전 드라마를 대상으로 하여 드라마의 스타배우의 기용에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석 대상으로 2014년 1월부터 2017년 12월까지 공중파 방송 3사와 케이블 방송사에서 방영이 완결된 288편 드라마를 선정하였다. 스타배우 기용에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 드라마의 방영기간, 즉 드라마의 횟수에 주목하였으며 원작 유무, 외주제작 여부와 PD의 수상 경력의 조절효과도 조사하였다. 그 결과 단편드라마의 경우 스타배우가 기용되며 특히 원작이 존재하는 단편드라마가 원작이 있는 경우에 스타배우를 더욱 기용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 광고 수익의 가능성이 큰 스타배우를 기용하는 것에 따르는 높은 출연료의 부담을 덜기 위한 불확실성 감소의 수단으로 방영기간이 짧고 스토리가 검증된 원작을 사용하는 드라마 제작이 이루어지는 것으로 해석된다.
