SHINee Cap
When I miss SHINee, I put on this cap.
This cap was the special edition good for SHINee's Arena Tour in Japan back in 2017.
This SHINee cap isn't just a regular cap. Let's take a look at its special features!
When you pull down the net from the cap, you get the members' faces.
You wear like you would with just any other cap, but whenever you miss the members, just pull their face!

If you take a selfie at just the right angle, you can even pretend you are that member.
At concerts, fans would get together and take pictures with the caps on like they're the members of SHINee. It's a great way to show your love for them!

Oh My Girl Table Set & Utensil Set
There are idols that make sure their fans have something to eat with?
Koreans highly value meals. So much so, that the question "did you eat?" is just as common as saying "hello!"
Even idols during music broadcasts or fan meetings will greet their fans by asking if they have eaten.
Not only do some idols just talk the talk about the importance of meals, but also produce goods that fans can use whenever they eat.
Oh My Girl released a table set and a utensil set that consisted of a spoon and chopsticks. These items were a part of a welcome kit for fans that joined the Miracle 2nd Generation membership plan.

It is said that they released these goods for fans to feel less lonely if they ever have to eat by themselves.
You can feel the warmth of the love the Oh My Girl members have for their fans.😍

In Korea, when students enter university, there is a tradition where they purchase letterman jackets (야구잠바) according to their major.
There is a sense of pride and unity when wearing these specialized jackets.
A K-pop group produced a spin-off letterman jacket inspired by this college tradition.

This past March marked the two-year debut anniversary of BTS's junior group Tomorrow X Together (TXT). To celebrate they held a special fan live with a university concept.
Since their fandom is known as Moments of Alwaysness (MOA), they released these goods for "MOA Campus."
The letterman jacket and student IDs look so authentic it makes you want them that much more!🤩
Dog Tags
군번줄
I waited a year and a half, I don't I deserve a commemorative dog tag?
Dog tags are an item known globally, but in Korea, you can get special K-pop dog tags.
Typically dog tags are metal necklaces with identification information worn by military personnel.

SM Entertainment released dog tags to commemorate artists that have completed their mandatory military service.
So there are members of Super Junior, SHINee and EXO with their own dog tag!
Many fans wait for at least a year and a half for their favorite idols to be discharged. So, when their oppas are finally discharged, not only can fans anticipate new music, but also they can celebrate by purchasing dog tags.
This is a secret, but I also bought a dog tag when my favorite idol was discharged.🤣

Do you remember EXO's winter album, "For Life" released in 2016?
Fitting to the winter album concept, EXO released an ice tray with the shape of the album logo.
So, if you have this ice tray, you can easily make ice in the shape of the "For Life" logo at home!

What is great about this tray is that it can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 250°C. So you can use it for various purposes!
EXO-Ls have used this tray to make ice, chocolate, cookies, and candles.
Song Min-ho Cup & Straw
Colorful cups and straws made by Song Min-ho.
WINNER's Song Min-ho is also famous for his painting abilities.
He even created cups and straws that he designed himself.
When Min-ho opened his cafe, Osechill, he began selling his homemade cups and straws.
The designs of these products are so unique and pretty, they are unlike any other cup or straw.
It is really special to use a cup designed by this beloved rapper.
BTS Jenga
Play a game of Jenga with BTS!
Of the older BTS Bangtan Bomb videos, one of the best was the BTS Jenga Championship video.
If you are a devoted ARMY member, you may remember this video. This video is from six years ago, and you can watch the young members of BTS enjoying Jenga.
Watching this video makes me want to play Jenga as well.

Five years after this video, BTS released their own acrylic Jenga set!
This set looks extremely fancy with the leather case and the names and logo written on side of the pieces.
We think it would be very fun for ARMY to play Jenga with this set.

It seems like just another picture of BTS, but there is something different, right?
Well, with this cubic painting set, you can create a whole picture by fixating little gems to a canvas.
Cubic paintings are a great at-home activity because they require a lot of concentration, and make the time pass quickly!
Because of COVID-19, these paintings have gotten super popular in Korea since many people are spending more time at home.
There is a huge sense of accomplishment after completing this picture! When complete, it is very shiny and bright.
I have an ARMY friend that finished one of these cubic paintings. She hung it on her wall and it was very pretty.
If you all want a unique image of BTS, why not try this cubic painting?
