Mnet America (www.mnetamerica.com), a youth entertainment brand for all things Asian cool, and Toyota have partnered to bring music fans an interactive experience as part of a campaign for the 2013 Toyota Corolla. The campaign features a new music video shot in Los Angeles starring Hyuna, a K-Pop artist known for appearing in PSY's "Gangnam Style" video and for being a member of popular group 4Minute. The Corolla is integrated into the video, which features Hyuna's new song "My Color".

"It is great that Toyota understands the power K-pop has here in America and is using cutting-edge technology to connect with its audience", said Ted Kim, CEO and president of Mnet America. "We're thrilled to collaborate with them on this project".

The program is supported by a new Toyota mobile app that allows fans to insert their dance moves and singing into the Hyuna video.
