Raise your hand if you swore you’d never get on the Hallyu wave but now own a flourishing collection of K-Pop merch bought in the Philippines… yup, we get you!
Well, once you get the K-Pop fever, there’s no turning back. Differences aside, stans share a language beyond word,s and what better way to say “saranghae” than buying your favorite group’s merch via Lalamove’s Purchase Service (Pabili Service).
Without a doubt, there’s a growing fondness of Filipinos for Korean popular culture–be it over swoon-worthy series, upbeat music, and charismatic idols. This is why it’s not so surprising that the Philippines landed the third spot in the highest numbers of K-Pop fans in the world, ranking higher than South Korea!
If you’re not sure what merch to get next, here are some items you NEED that are available for purchase online. No matter where you are, you could easily order one with a few taps!
1. Uno BTS Deck
There, there. We heard the news. So this might cheer you up!
The Uno BTS Card Game is the classic game we all know with an irresistible twist. Think of this K-Pop product as an upgraded photocard with the deck featuring members of the fan-favorite K-pop group.
To make things even more fun, receiving the "Dancing Wild" card is your cue to perform a BTS dance routine. You better prepare your moves–get it, let it roll!
2. Personalized Pillow

Waking up next to your bias will surely make your heart flutter.
We support this looooooong distance relationship, so get yourself a personalized K-Pop idol pillow to snuggle up during cold nights. Since this is a customized merch, enjoy the pleasure of switching it up every once in a while.
Wouldn’t it be nice for your idol to be the first thing you see in the morning, the last face you see before you fall into slumber, and in your dreams probably, too?
3. Lightstick

What better way to declare your glowing support than with a lightstick. It’s a surefire way to spot a fellow stan with its uniquely ~ uwu ~ design varying per group. It’s quite tricky to score one, but with the right research skills and impeccable timing, since they run out fast, you can get your hands on it with pabili service.
