Nothing is impossible when you’re a K-pop fan! These fans are some of the most creative in showcasing their support for their favorite idols.

Organize A Cup Sleeve Event

Since we are not in South Korea to join in the celebration, why don’t we organize our own? A cup sleeve event is where fans gather to celebrate the anniversary of a K-pop group, a member’s birthday, or an achievement made by the group. The venue is often decorated with official merchandise, large posters, and balloons. Fans need to buy a drink in exchange for a cup sleeve and freebies. This kind of event is also a great way for fans to connect and build friendships with people who have the same interests.

In the new normal, fans also arrange cup sleeve events virtually and have fellow fans order their drinks, which will be delivered right to their doorstep!

 

 

Send a Coffee Truck

Coffee trucks are already a big trend in Korean filming sets, fans send snacks and fresh cups of coffee to energize the staff and encourage their idols. They do this to show their support for the whole crew that is working hard to successfully finish a drama or movie. These trucks can also be customized with tarp displays, personalized messages, and photos of the idols or actors covered on them.

If you have ever been to Seoul, you might have noticed the ad panels along the walkways of subway stations. Most of these are rented out to put up ads for celebrating a birthday or anniversary of an idol’s debut. If you’re lucky, some celebs show up in front of the ads and take selfies to show their recognition. Idol subway advertisements are commonly placed at popular stations along line 2, including Gangnam, Samsung, Hongdae, and Hapjeong station. Myeongdong Station and Hongik University Station are popular locations too.
