Hirono: The Rising Star Figurine Taking the Internet by Storm
The latest sensation on the internet is Hirono, a rising star figurine from Pop Mart that has captured the attention of fans worldwide. The craze started when BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, was seen carrying a Hirono keychain at the airport on his way to Paris Fashion Week. Fans quickly took notice of the accessory and flooded social media with photos, leading to a rapid sell-out of Hirono figurines on Pop Mart's official Chinese website and in Korean stocks.
Hirono will soon be available in Korea for a limited time through an exclusive collaboration between CJ OnStyle and Pop Mart as part of the "Come On Style" event from October 17 to 26. The international buzz around Hirono has garnered attention from major media outlets, with Forbes even dubbing it the next "Labubu."
In addition to making Hirono a viral sensation, BTS member V recently caused a stir by enjoying a pistachio croissant in Paris. The singer's simple act of indulging in the sweet treat turned the pistachio croissant into one of the most talked-about foods, with sales skyrocketing at the small dessert shop, La Pistacherie, where he purchased it.
As BTS gears up for their upcoming album release, their first since completing their military service, V and his bandmates are busy working on new music. The album is expected to drop in the first half of 2026, followed by a highly anticipated world tour. Stay tuned for more updates on BTS and V's latest endeavors.
