Abstract
The objective of the study is to understand the influence of advertisement format and platform engagement on purchase intention for products endorsed by Korean boy bands on YouTube. The study was conducted with a quantitative approach from 408 respondents exposed to YouTube ads in 2022. The results show that advertising format, namely product placement (B= 0.267) has a positive influence on the purchase intention of the Thai audience alongside the action of clicking ‘Like’ (B = 0.108).
