This is the duo's second collaboration following a successful merchandise launch last year. Launched this March, the new 'My Buddy Series' is even cuter than the first drop! Two fan-favourite KAKAO FRIENDS characters, Ryan and Choonsik, appear on drinkware and other practical items like coasters and pouches.

The expanded collection also has other fun items less commonly seen in Starbucks merchandise, including a laptop stand that can be attached to a notebook, a pen set with a stamp, and even stickers that look like photo booth strips!

Kim Beom-su, Chief of Marketing at Starbucks Korea, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, saying, "Through the 'Choonsik' and 'Ryan' series with Kakao Friends, we hope that customers visiting Starbucks will experience unique fun. We plan to continue offering a wide range of enjoyment through the release of various collaboration products."

The bad news is, the Starbucks x KAKAO FRIENDS collection is exclusive to South Korea. But thanks to stores on Shopee, we can also get our hands on in online from $33.84 to $96.02 each.

P.S.: Starbucks Singapore's Cherry Blossom 2024 collection is now out in stores and online.
