Have you noticed your favorite celebs sporting fuzzy bag charms with a signature toothy grin? Yup, we're pertaining to Labubu, a character belonging to The Monsters toy series created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung.
READ: What is Labubu?
Labubu is a character belonging to The Monsters, a collection of toy monster characters under the Chinese vinyl toy brand POP MART. Known for their blind boxes, part of POP MART's appeal is not knowing what character you're about to unbox.
Labubu rose to fame after BLACKPINK's Lisa posted a photo of herself hugging a giant Labubu plushie and another photo of her using a miniature sized version of the doll as a bag charm on her Instagram stories.
Shortly after, her bandmate Rosé was also seen on Instagram posing with a furry gray Labubu doll.
The dolls were an instant hit. After appearing on the BLACKPINK members' social media accounts, the formerly easy-to-find dolls were sold out just about everywhere.
