K-pop group SEVENTEEN's rare Labubu toys spark global buzz and record-breaking bids
K-pop sensation Seventeen has partnered with Chinese toymaker Pop Mart to release a limited-edition set of Labubu dolls, and the response has been overwhelming. The furry characters, known for their mischievous grins, have become hot collectibles — and this special collection is no exception. The 14 custom Labubu dolls were launched on Pharrell Williams' online auction site, Joopiter, just days before Seventeen's upcoming single Bad Influence drops on June 11. Williams, who produced the track, is also involved in the auction. Each 6.7-inch doll features SEVENTEEN branding, neon green fur — a first for the Labubu line — and is dressed in a grey Carhartt onesie. They are accessorised with mixed metal necklaces, black toenail polish, and a distinctive design that blends fashion and pop culture. Initially expected to sell for $300 to $500, some of the dolls have already attracted bids as high as $2,200. Proceeds from the auction will go to charity, and bidding will remain open for a week. The collaboration is part of a broader fashion project that includes Japanese luxury label Sacai. Alongside the Labubu dolls, fans can get their hands on exclusive items such as a leather jacket, hoodies, caps, and a signed white T-shirt featuring autographs from 11 Seventeen members. Pop Mart's popularity has soared, with its stock rising by nearly 600% over the past year. This collaboration with SEVENTEEN has only added to the hype, proving once again that the K-pop world continues to have a powerful influence on global fashion and collectibles. K-pop group SEVENTEEN has claimed its seventh No. 1 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, as their new release, SEVENTEEN 5th Album 'HAPPY BURSTDAY', debuts at the top of the list dated 14 June. According to music data company Luminate, the album sold 46,000 copies in the United States in the week ending 5 June, making it the highest-selling album of the week. SEVENTEEN earned their first No. 1 on the chart in 2021 and has continued to build on that success. With this latest achievement, the group now ties TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) for the most No. 1 albums by a group in the 2020s. Among all artists, only Taylor Swift has more No. 1 albums in the decade so far, with nine.

US based RedDrop debuts period swimwear for teens & tweens
RedDrop, a rising star in the wellness industry for its innovative tween period care and education, today drops its newest product to accompany girls in all their summertime activities: period swimwear. RedDrop's period swimwear can be worn any day during a girl's period as an alternative to pads or tampons. It's designed for versatility as a bikini bottom in classic black that can mix and match with any bikini top. As with RedDrop's other menstrual products, the bikini bottoms are specifically made for girls' smaller, changing bodies. The age-appropriate swimwear comes in a range of sizes from Youth XS (Kids size 8-10) to Women's XL (Juniors size 14-16). RedDrop has launched period swimwear for tweens, designed as a versatile, non-toxic bikini bottom that supports summer activities without interruptions. Available in sizes from Youth XS to Women's XL, it holds up to 18g of flow and includes educational resources. The launch follows major investments, including a $1million Black Ambition prize and a $200K Fifteen Percent Pledge Award. "We designed our period swimwear to be a perfect fit for tweens to participate in summer activities uninterrupted, from a day at the pool or beach to a weekend at the lake to sleepaway camp," said Dana Roberts, Co-Founder of RedDrop. "The swimwear also comes with empowering, straightforward educational resources to build confidence and body literacy. All girls should have access to affordable period care products made to meet their needs, no matter when their period starts." RedDrop's period swimwear is made from fragrance-free, PFAS-free and non-toxic materials that form moisture-wicking layers and flexible fits that move with growing – and swimming – bodies. The bottoms hold up to two light pads or three light tampons of flow (up to 12-18 grams) and won't get waterlogged after a dip in the pool. The new product launch comes on the heels of significant investments in RedDrop and its mission to address menstrual inequity with tween period products and educational resources. In November 2024, the minority- and women-owned company won the $1 million grand prize from Black Ambition, Pharrell Williams' non-profit organization to support Black and Hispanic Entrepreneurs. In February 2025, RedDrop won the Fifteen Percent Pledge Achievement Award totaling $200K. The Fifteen Percent Pledge is a racial equity and economic justice non-profit that addresses inequities in the American consumer economy and works towards closing the racial wealth gap.
