[talk] How to buy National Museum of Korea goods? K-pop Demon Hunters Tiger Goods Shop (ft. BTS RM)

The National Museum of Korea goods are super hot these days, not only for the MZ generation but also for overseas fans. From the 'Bangasayusang Miniature' that even BTS RM couldn't buy, to the tiger badge, hat cup, and hat brooch that are exploding in popularity thanks to Netflix's <K-Pop Demon Hunters>, everything is a hit. In this article, I've compiled all the popular goods and tips for purchasing them!

 

1. Why are National Museum of Korea goods so popular?

 

The reason why the National Museum of Korea goods are so popular is because they completely reinterpret traditional relics and Korean historical values with a modern sensibility. They are not just souvenirs, but ‘designs with stories’, so the desire to own them explodes.

 

In particular, the miniature Bangasayusang statue that BTS RM showed interest in sold out as soon as it was released, and when RM uploaded a certification shot on SNS, ARMYs from all over the world flocked to it, becoming a global hit. These days, thanks to <K-Pop Demon Hunters>, tiger character and traditional folk painting goods are resurfacing, and reactions like "Our culture is this hip?" are pouring in.

4. Can I buy it online?

Popular goods are sold only online for a limited time. However, since the quantity is so limited, they sell out quickly. The best way is to visit offline, and 'Bums' and the National Museum of Korea Cultural Foundation Smart Store frequently post advance sales notices, so if you set up notifications, you will have a higher chance of getting a good deal!

 

5. K-pop Demon Hunters, goods that even BTS RM fell in love with

These days, with the Netflix animation <K-Pop Demon Hunters> becoming a hit, the National Museum of Korea goods are getting attention again. In particular, thanks to the rumor that the traditional tiger character in the animation resembles the magpie tiger badge inspired by the National Museum of Korea's "Hojakdo," pre-orders are selling out as soon as they open. This badge, which was selected in the 2024 MU:DS Contest, is called a "National Museum essential item" by the MZ generation and foreigners due to its cutely reinterpreted folk painting design, and everything from the hat cup to the hat brooch is selling out, causing a stir.

 

Here, the popularity exploded when there was an anecdote on TV about BTS RM visiting a museum and not being able to buy the miniature Bangasayusang in the color he wanted. After the goods were restocked, RM's certification shot was uploaded, and ARMYs around the world joined the craze, saying, "If it's RM PICK goods, I have to buy it," and thanks to the influence of K-pop and BTS, Kookbak goods are establishing themselves as global hits.
