"Stay in the Moment" captures the essence of JW Marriott, which invites and empowers guests to embrace fleeting yet profoundly meaningful moments in life with inspiring surroundings, mindful experiences, culinary artistry and inspired service.

The campaign video features characters that are framed by the luxury and timeless beauty of the surroundings, which symbolize contemplation and introspection as the story unfolds. The scenes underscore the beauty of human connections and emphasize themes of self-discovery and strong familial bonds that are forged in unforgettable moments. The visuals reflect the breath-taking natural landscapes and enriching experiences that are found in every JW Marriott hotel, which serve to replenish the mind, body and soul.

"We are delighted to have Lee Min-ho, playing the lead character in our "Stay in the Moment" campaign video. He embodies the sophisticated luxury traveler seeking deeper meanings and reconnections through well-being and mindfulness," said Jennie Toh, Vice-President Luxury Brand Marketing, Brand Management and Communications, Marriott International Greater China. "In a world of constant multitasking and digital overload, we yearn to pause, take a breath and focus on what matters the most. "

"The "Stay in the Moment" campaign focuses on the discerning luxury traveler who seeks well-being, mindfulness and profound connections－all the elements that speak to the spirit of the JW Marriott brand," said John Toomey, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Asia Pacific, Marriott International. "Lee Min-ho's starring performance in the campaign video beautifully captures the JW Marriott experience, embodying the holistic and inspirational moments that shape our journeys and enrich our lives."

"As an actor, I personally appreciate and align with the JW Marriott brand's seamless attention to craft and detail," said Lee Min-ho, South Korean actor. "This same philosophy is what sparks my imagination and allows me to breathe life into my character, whose message is that we should embrace the special moments, because they allow us to leave so much richer than when we first arrive."
