Kakao IX said on Monday that the temporary project shop would open until January 5 next year. The company manages Kakao Friends, a lineup of character items favored by young consumers from Asian countries for cute designs with unique and interesting background stories.
Kakao IX had collaborated with TWICE, a K-pop girl band, in October to release special edition products including cosmetics planned and designed by band members. Top artists collaborating with character franchises are not rare in the K-pop scene. BTS has teamed up with LINE Friends, a character franchise of South Korea's top web portal operator Naver, to release products using characterized BTS members.
BTS also collaborated with LINE Friends in October last year to release a collection of 47 cosmetics products using characterized avatars created by BTS members.
