Recently, Japan Coca-Cola released live-action video content of "Crayon Shinchan" through its YouTube channel. This short series was produced to promote Coca-Cola's barley tea brand "Yakan no Mugicha" and features scenes of an adult Shinchan joining the "Action Mask" filming crew and spending a hectic day on set in the city.
Particularly eye-catching was the appearance of Shinchan's younger sister, Shina, who appears as a baby in the series. Just like twenty years ago when she was an infant, Shina sports her trademark light brown hair and wears a yellow top, waiting for Shinchan to return from work in front of a subway station?a location frequently seen in the original. Her fondness for sparkling accessories, as she wears both earrings and a necklace, evokes nostalgia among adults who grew up watching Shinchan.

Major characters, including Shinchan's father Shin Hyangman, mother Bong Mison, and the director of Tteoknip Kindergarten that Shinchan attended, are also portrayed with realism, each highlighting their unique personalities. Japanese viewers responded enthusiastically, leaving comments such as "Why is Shinchan's little sister so cute," "Shinchan has changed so much," "Every casting is perfect," "I hope they make this into a live-action drama," "I need to watch Shinchan again after a long time," "This is exactly how I imagined the boss," "It's somehow touching," "I wish Tteoknip Village really existed," and "I can't believe I'm excited about Shinchan."
The animation "Crayon Shinchan" is based on the manga series "Crayon Shinchan" by Usui Yoshito, which began serialization in 1990. It has been exported and broadcast in over 40 countries worldwide, including South Korea, China, and Taiwan, enjoying great popularity. First aired on TV Asahi in 1992, it remains the longest-running animation still on air. In South Korea, it has been broadcast since 1999, and with 33 theatrical releases to date, it continues to enjoy cross-generational popularity.
