K-pop has been a global phenomenal in the last decade. Apart from showing our favourite idols support from album purchases, it has also been a trend to collect products endorsed by the idols. Celebrity power in marketing is strong, and almost every major brand engages top idols to boost products sales. We cannot deny how some of these products and collaterals were pretty decent and definitely worth collecting for the fans.
Our friends over at Trazy has heard the pleas from fans, and launched a k-pop proxy shopping service – Trazy Proxy Shopping, which will make it that much simpler for fans not based in Korea to get their hands on these exquisite products. This is especially important where we live in a world plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic, and flying being almost impossible.
So how much of a fan are you? How much do you know about these collaborations?
BTS x FILA
BTS is undoubtedly the world’s hottest K-Pop boy group right now. Therefore, the amount of collaboration involving BTS can be said to be on the brink of ridiculousness (not in a bad way). You will probably see signs of BTS anywhere you go in Korea, and their faces plastered on all kinds of brands and products.
FILA is a sports brand and BTS are global brand ambassadors for FILA. FILA Korea launched the ‘Voyager Collection’ in March, a special-edition represented by BTS. It was inspired by space and constellation, and personally, it reminds of ‘Mikrokosmos’, one of BTS songs.
BTS x Lemona
Lemona is a famous Korean Vitamin C brand loved by Koreans of all ages. BTS edition Lemona, sold in heart-shaped cans, are especially popular! There are sweet lemony powder packs inside the cans that will fulfill your day’s supply of Vitamin C.
BTS x Samsung Galaxy S20
Samsung Galaxy S20 BTS Edition will be launched on July 9th, 2020! It is in a translucent purple color, which is BTS trademark color, just like V saying “I purple you” to ARMYs. Apart from the phone, there are also the Galaxy Buds+ to go along and they look equally gorgeous.
If you are planning to change your phone and a pair of earbuds to go along, keep an eye on this one!
BTS x LINE
Do we need to say more about this? Even if you are not a fan of BTS, you will probably be exposed to these characters while using the LINE messaging application.
