The members of KATSEYE are putting their pinkies up and reaching for some chocolate. The global girl group has teamed up with Hershey’s to help introduce a new line of Creme Bars, with Salted Caramel and Affogato as the debut flavors, and the accompanying commercial reimagines KATSEYE’s familiar “Pinky Up” gesture for the campaign.
