Joel Kim Booster has played his fair share of workplace disasters on screen, from chaotic corporate hijinks in Apple TV+’s “Loot” to demon-hunting madness in “KPop Demon Hunters,” but this December, the actor and comedian is stepping into a very real workplace role. He will be the hero who saves your office holiday party from being painfully boring. Cup Noodles has officially tapped Booster as the face of its new Office Party Rescue campaign, offering workers across the country the chance to hit “redo” on the most underwhelming gathering of the year. And the prize? A full party makeover with Joel Kim Booster personally delivering 500 Cup Noodles to your office, the opposite of bland finger foods and forced holiday cheer. “This is the most unpretentious holiday campaign of the season,” Cup Noodles promises, and Joel Kim Booster is fully leaning in.

Booster says the idea immediately hit home. “We’ve all survived those awful office parties. You know what I’m talking about, dry appetizers nobody touches, uncomfortable chitchat by the water cooler, and that same playlist everyone acts like they’re into. So that’s why I’m partnering with Cup Noodles,” he told The Blast exclusively. “Because honestly? It’s about enjoying yourself without feeling guilty about it and making your own rules. Which is literally what every good party should be.”

The campaign taps directly into end-of-year exhaustion, the desire to stop pretending and just have fun.

Priscila Stanton, Senior Vice President of Marketing, put it bluntly.

Booster, whose comedic sensibility blends sharp observational humor with heartfelt authenticity, says this campaign aligns perfectly with the season he’s personally embracing. “The holidays shouldn’t feel like a performance. This year, I’m keeping it low-key and spending quality time with my friends and family, which is, honestly, exactly what I need after a busy year,” he told The Blast. “It’ll be great to channel the Cup Noodles ‘Do You. Eat Cup.’ campaign and experience these real moments with people I care about with no forced expectations.”

Cup Noodles wanted someone who understands the humor and the horror of workplace culture. Boosters’ role on Loot offered the ideal crossover of an on-screen expert in dysfunctional office vibes, now helping fix them in the real world.

Unlike most holiday-season marketing, this campaign avoids polished table spreads and “picture-perfect” gatherings. Instead, it embraces the messy, cozy, honest moments most people crave. Cup Noodles puts it this way: Holiday parties don’t have to be fancy, they just have to be fun.

Booster says that’s exactly the point. “Office parties don’t have to be boring, lame or tame,” he added. “I’m excited to reimagine the traditional holiday party with Cup Noodles and serve up food people genuinely enjoy.”
