BTS, Twice, EXO, Black Pink…K-pop groups have very quickly become a global phenomenon! These Korean groups with their dance-able tunes and cute members have millions of fans not just in Asia, but in America, Africa and even Bosnia and Herzegovina. And their fans are not just regular fans, they are rabid fans…the kind who are willing to spend big bucks just to get concert tickets and would break their piggy banks to buy whatever merch thrown their way.
Because of this, we see many K-pop merch and K-pop vinyl records wherever we go and they’re getting crazier and crazier. Most of them are quite useless but I guess that’s the charm of merch, the more useless the better!
Check out these weird but awesome k-pop merch items ever made:
