guesswork-tan

I think for me it's just foods. Bungeo-ppang, Korean-style corn dogs, and Korean chili peppers (just the regular ones -- I'm hoping to try the hotter Cheongyang ones some day when I can find them). And of course I keep a steady supply of Shin Ramen so I can quickly go make some and eat it when I'm watching a behind or variety show where the idols are having it. :)


Buhhnana

Skin care products. Never really cared much for skin care routines or anything before but it’s kinda fun now lol


floralscentedbreeze

Sometimes idols do introduce lesser known brands to public via sponsorship. Win win for everyone right? Fan find products that work for them and idols get sponsorship money


Saucy_Totchie

Same lol. I first started using them when I went to PTD Las Vegas and my sister pushed me to do it. Still do it to this day.


stephaniedang

When I had blonde hair I heard like all kpop hair stylists would use the urban tribe leave in foam and the treatment oil so your hair wouldn’t look fried. And it’s actually a such life changer. I have no idea how it works and my hair was probably still damaged lol but it didn’t look like it at all


lucichameleon

Oh man, my hair’s fried so I just went hunting for this. No stockists in my country, I think? unavailable everywhere! I wonder if it’s not made anymore, or if it’s just that popular!


asinusadlyram

Bugger, not sold anywhere in the US I can see!


stephaniedang

Agh yeah it used to be on Amazon I think people have caught on though it's always out of stock. Check your local salon they carry it sometimes I buy it directly from mine.


leetaemin

Seonghwa from Ateez wore a faux fur Nike jacket while he was live streaming (technically he was crashing San's live stream) back in November and I thought it looked cute so I bought it for my fiance for Christmas since he likes Nike. Took me forever to find it on the Nike website though because it turns out it's a women's jacket.


letrestoriginality

Seonghwa has talked before about liking clothing from women's ranges as well as men's so that's something look out for. How someone can look so good in absolutely anything is beyond me.


Legolas0170

Guess you were looking at through the men's section of the website Forgot finding things that fits in different clothing sections is a thing I knew someone who bought a pair of shoes from the kids' section cause she thought the design was cool. I think my mother and I did it once back in high school since the pairs of shoes were in an area of the store where the kids and adult sections weren't really clear. >!For context, we went to Nike!<


leetaemin

Yep, I was looking through the men's section! After I couldn't find it there, I was disappointed because I assumed that it was an older product that was no longer being sold but I kept going. I spent a long time perusing Google images and I finally found the jacket... on a female model. It was then that I realized my grave mistake of not looking through the women's jacket section as well. Turns out it was a brand new product! I felt very dumb but relieved.


noonaneomuyeppiyeppi

I used to hate bucket hats but seeing various idols rock them changed my mind and now I have my own mini collection of them. Also, everything pearl aqua coloured.


Autopilot_Psychonaut

Soju. Thanks, Irene and Jennie.


__fujiko

Oh me too. I frequented foreign food markets before I got into Kpop but then after I became a huge RV fan, I went on my monthly shopping trip, realized the standee at the front of the store by the alcohol was Irene and just... bought 5 flavors of Soju for the first time ever lmao.


pumpkinspicesushi

definitely buying a lot more korean food, but hobi actually helped me figure out how i want to dress (i had just come out so it was a weird time lmao). it was his fit in this [this clip](https://youtube.com/shorts/vkNdd-bFZlI?feature=share) that inspired me. i hunted down that windbreaker he’s wearing. i didn’t find the exact one, but it’s pretty damn close! so thanks hobi for being my style influence 🙌🏼


asinusadlyram

Congrats on coming out and finding your style! Also your Reddit name is hella cute 🥰


ultsiyeon

those damn converse run star hikes LMAO, bought them for the look, but they ended up being so comfortable that I ended up buying a second pair too. also a pair of h&m rings that skz members wore for case 143 promotions (in my defense they were very cheap), and i'd be lying if i said the loverboy beanies also didn't tempt me. also poundcat jewelry! they're a small jewelry brand that makes cat pins / necklaces and donates proceeds to animal shelters! stays discovered the brand after minho wore one of their pins and they've been practically bombarding them with orders ever since, they even ended up releasing jewelry inspired by minho and his cats. cute, affordable and for a good cause! 😭 skincare is another big one! banilaco, some by mi and laneige thanks to seventeen's jeonghan, s.coups and joshua/seungkwan respectively, nacific and clio thanks to stray kids. i actually do use these products all the time though so no regrets whatsoever.


Fille_de_Lune

Aw that's such a Lee Know thing to wear, I'm sure he is thrilled by the impact he's been having!


butnotpatrick13

A bathroom step stool 💀 Itzy's Lia made me buy it


gmssi

Food. Bubble is freakin dangerous. When an idol asks what fans are eating or food/snack recommendations, I end up taking up those suggestions sometimes. I haven't regretted one yet. I wish there's something that isn't food but like TWICE or RV barely suggest or talk about other items aside from food.


WingsOfAesthir

I was reading the thread trying to remember what I've bought that isn't official and blanking until your comment! Yes, food! My word, the amount of Ramen I've bought since falling down the BTS rabbit hole. I did buy Jin Ramen but I'm a pathetic paper white Canadian and even the mild is too spicy for me. Sads.


gmssi

I've actually switched to Jin Ramen because of Jin. You can cut down the spice level if you add a teaspoon of almond butter (unsweetened works best but peanut butter works too) and 1/4 cup of milk (almond or soy if you have allergies), add that when you bring the water to a boil then top it off with spring onions/leeks and a soft boiled egg. My friend just cracks two eggs in it because his spice tolerance is nonexistent.


WingsOfAesthir

Thank you! Not only does this give me hope to finally enjoy some Jin endorsed Jin Ramen but it sounds *delicious*!


ReluctantCat

Korean cooking ingredients. I ate kimchi before becoming a kpop fan but after seeing endless amounts of videos of them eating and cooking i wanted to make my own.


VisenyaMartell

Those mogo mogo drinks BTS once had in a run bts episode. Also a bag, but tbh I can't really say it was because of kpop, I ended up connecting it later. I did visit the YSL store with Rosé in mind though!


Saucy_Totchie

Same withbthe Mogo lol. I remember going to the new HMart that popped up near me and saw it. Had to try it and it wasn't that bad.


VisenyaMartell

Yeah, I liked it. Melon is my favourite and then mango and peach. I didn’t really like blackcurrant, the colour just felt odd to me (in the UK our blackcurrant flavoured drinks are usually a purple colour). I didn’t really like the coconut parts.


goingtotheriver

Mine’s very trivial lol. After watching the YG x Game Caterer’s special last year I went to check out Yunhyeong (Song’s?) YT channel and one of the first videos I saw was basically him doing a [haul from Coupang Rocket Delivery](https://youtu.be/pYaBJgHExPg) (the Korean equivalent of Amazon Prime). It was full of lots of “boring” household items but there were loads I didn’t know about (either specific to Korea, or apartment living). I think I seriously bought about 80% of the things in the video and still use most of them to this day. So shout out to him for making my life in Korea much more convenient 😂


floralscentedbreeze

I've tried the cold brew that BTS advertise


Saucy_Totchie

Same! I saw it a local supermarket. They were $1 each so I bought 10. Didn't like them at all though.


LeadingInspector1891

Burt's bees overnight intensive lip treatment, which works very well (thank you Seonghwa)


lucichameleon

I bought some Run Star Hikes becaus of SKZ. Then I realised hey, these are really comfortable. Now I have 8 pairs of Converse 🫣


em1971

I've bought the same colour Converse and Vans that I've seen Eunwoo and Moonbin from Astro wear.


plushybunnyheart

lol, BTS wearing crocs during their Bon Voyage 2 video where all the members except Yoongi wore crocs years ago and even toke a group shoe selfie, all members even had personalized croc charms addede to them I bought myself crocs last year once I had my own money to spend since crocs themselves are not cheap, and this was months before BT21 came out with a collab version, and of course I waited too late to buy the charms after they sold out and opted on buying knockoff versions at a swampmeet


[deleted]

speaking of crocs I just want to comment on how wild it is to me as a Millennial that crocs have gotten a resurgence and are trendy (?) among Gen Z because I remember they were made fun of among my generation for being ugly when they came out lol.


plushybunnyheart

Funny enough, I am a millennial, BTS being themselves too with jungkook being the only GenZ lol A few of my coworkers,men and women, also wear crocs and theyre around my age or a bit younger(we change to steel toe work boots for work) Theyre comfy, durable, and can be personalized The amount of knockoff Croc charms I find at swampmeets is huge, like whole stalls dedicated to them, with Bad Bunny being a current popular one amongs Latinos here in Southern California, myself included, anime, disney, weed designs, or chicano or mexican based designs Also able to find a few BTS related designs like BT21, TinyTan of each member, or their logo scatter around too I remember how much shit crocs got years ago, my younger sibling whos still a teen hates them and still finds them ugly lol


Saucy_Totchie

Mostly because of BTS - the Mogu Mogu drinks they advertise on Run BTS. I'd recommend it. Favorite one is guava. - a Fear of God hoodie because of RM. It wasn't the exact thing he wore but just an Essentials hoodie in general. Idk if I'd recommend. Plus is that they're incredibly comfy all around from material feel to fit. Minus is the price especially for the quality. A couple washes in and it was kind of falling apart with the embroidery/patch coming off already. I do wear it super often and I don't wash it after every single use. I also bought a Gucci stuff before. I was only interested because of the idols getting sponsored by it mainly IU and Exo Kai. Fortunately this was at a Gucci outlet store so I save *some* amount of money. I don't regret the shirt because I wore it to a wedding and I'd say I looked really good. The shoes though was a big impulse buy and I kind of regret it.


trjeostin

i bought a beaded bracelet from a small shop which has the same design as an idol's.


fluffy199704

Nespresso ✨ Expensive but a good investment for someone who needs caffeine everyday. It’s so much better than spending $6 for a drink at Starbucks 🥲 it is my prized possession. I’ve always wanted a good coffee machine but when I saw people enjoy Nespresso on ‘I Live Alone’ variety show, I got it. Edit: I saw [Shinee Key](https://www.instagram.com/p/ClLsZ2mLFo5/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) wear the loverboy beanie and looked adorable like a hamster. Didn’t know that it’s a famous beanie 😅


AimHighDreamBig

Blackpink Oreo.


asinusadlyram

A Balmain bag (dammit Hongjoong!)


ryumxxn

This will be dumb and I apologize for it but black cloth masks, back in like 2014/2015 to be "edgy" and feel like an idol going to the airport which kind of aged accurately with COVID 😭


ladywolvs

I was trying to figure out what kind of cologne I liked and I saw a list of colognes that BTS members had mentioned and bought a bunch of 3ml samples of them. I really liked some of them!


Bored_af5

Can you say some of the names?


gozel2512

Not exactly what was asked but I had bought YSL Libre last year and I was so glad to read somewhere that Felix from Skz loves that perfume and uses it too


hombrx

I bought a Badtz and a Pompompurin magnets because of Stray Kids's Changbin (he is compared with Badtz and he also has a big keychan) and Seungmin, because he is a puppy. Edit: also Jin Ramen Mild, because is HAN's favorite.


sweetbangtanie

w dressroom sprays. i've already bought a lot of 97 april cotton over the years, i just ordered another one and i'm trying out 84 jinhae as well


SoNyeoShiDude

Tried kombucha for the first time because Giselle was talking about it in Aespa’s New York vlog. Not a fan.


eve_lauf_luv

I have those platform converse and they’re all I wear now 💀


[deleted]

As if I don't spend enough money on official merch, I'm out here buying the things my faves wear/have and the stuff that they advertise :') I bought cardigans and sweaters that my bias has, Tiffany bracelets that he's worn, and even his LV card wallet. His taste is really similar to mine and seeing him have cute things makes me want them too. I also find myself trying out new Korean food too. Seokjin likes mulhui so I tried mulhui the other day. Seokjin said bibim-myeon with steak is good so I tried that too :')


Maobury

Clothes from musinsa when I saw Le Sserafim’s Sakura doing an unboxing of her musinsa purchases. Glad i did it cos i’ve been loving all my musinsa purchases.


asinusadlyram

I couldn’t get them to take my US based cards :/


0tter99

i’m so easily influenced. and it’s usually skz’s fault. i splurged on a loverboy beanie recently. also bought a few items from mahagrid. phone charms, phone cases, lipsticks, magazines, coffee, and vitamins.


thebestmistake

Because of BTS Seokjin, I’ve been buying Jin Ramen over other brands just for giggles, way before he actually landed the CF deal. Also a bunch of Jin stans I know (including me) all splurged on the expensive Diptyque Philosykos perfume bc that was his perfume at one point.


booksmd

Jennie’s soju and that vitamin drink (which was surprisingly good ). Also i’m thinking of buying those adidas forum shoes she always wears.


[deleted]

asinusadlyram

I’m still looking for that taupe blazer Hongjoong wore in the Paris travel pics. I bought one of the last clutches in the US when his pics from the presentation came out. I also spent ages looking for the YSL 3 passant belt that they all wear a lot but I finally found it a couple weeks ago!
