BTS has taken the world by storm, easily clinching the title of the biggest K-pop group globally. With an impressive catalog of hits that draw in millions around the globe, the beloved boy band—comprising Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—keeps winning hearts, nurturing a devoted following known as the ARMY.

Beyond their music, BTS holds substantial economic value, injecting over $3.9 billion annually into South Korea's economy. According to the Hyundai Research Institute, the BTS phenomenon attracts roughly 800,000 visitors to South Korea each year. 

The band's massive popularity has really taken off in Japan, leading BTS to put on electrifying concerts and release songs specifically for their huge Japanese fanbase—how lucky they are!

BTS has brilliantly tapped into the culture of cuteness, creating characters that fans can't get enough of. The boys once spent a day at a LINE Friends store brainstorming ideas, which were then refined by designers into well-defined characters. 

With eight characters—Tata, Mang, Chimmy, RJ, Koya, Cooky, Shooky, and Van—each uniquely mirroring BTS members and the ARMY, they've become symbols of the band's massive popularity. 

Now, these delightful characters can be found everywhere, popping up on all sorts of cute BTS merch that devoted fans eagerly collect.
