Why does everybody want a Labubu?
First it was the Cabbage Patch Kids frenzy in the 1980s, then the Beanie Baby boom in the '90s. Now, in 2025, Labubu is the latest toy inspiring a collective craze across the world. If the name doesn't ring a bell, an image is sure to jog your memory. Scroll through social media and you're guaranteed to be served videos, ads and think pieces around the unique character: a fuzzy figure boasting pointed ears, a Cheshire Cat–like grin and a set of serrated teeth. In just a few weeks, the ugly (or cute, depending on who you ask) bag charm has skyrocketed from a niche interest into a worldwide phenomenon, resulting in sold-out stock, chaos erupting outside stores and the rise of fakes (hello, Lafufus!). A simple endorsement from a celebrity with a mass following is often all it takes to give an obscure item coveted it-status. For Labubu, many credit K-pop star and actor Lisa as the figure behind the trend, thanks to her love of the character. However, Labubu isn't new to the scene. She (yes, she's a girl!) made her first appearance back in 2015, in a set of picture books by Hong Kong–born artist Kasing Lung. Labubu herself was just one in the story's cast of "monster" characters. In 2019, Lung signed a partnership with Pop Mart, a Chinese toy brand and retailer, which then began selling figurines known collectively as The Monsters. So why are these little creatures suddenly garnering mass appeal? A number of reasons come to mind, with the first being the popularity of blind boxes: packages that house mystery toys that are only unveiled to the buyer once unwrapped. Labubus are released in this exact format, and dropped in special "series" collections which contain a handful of different colourways. Then there's the exclusivity of the trend, says Amanda Lee Shirreffs, a Montreal-based fashion stylist. In addition to the difficulty of acquiring a Labubu, there are "secret" editions of the plushie, which consumers have a lower probability of getting their hands on. Shirreffs likens the frenzy around Labubu to the "desperation" of Samanatha Jones in a memorable episode of Sex and the City, where the character attempts to acquire a coveted Hermès Birkin handbag. "I also think there is a correlation between the heaviness of the world at the moment and the desire to make frivolous purchases," she said. And finally, there's the unadulterated glee and sheer delight that these fuzzy creatures seem to elicit. This exact joy is what drew Zhanna Red to buy into the trend. "I wanted to feed my inner child," the Toronto-based content creator said. "It seemed so innocent and fun, and such an interactive way to feel happiness and community." To date, Red has a total of four Labubu charms. Unlike many Labubu owners, who weigh down their handbags with their collections, Red is sticking to wearing one at a time for now. Over the past few seasons, the whimsical bag charm trend has catapulted thanks to brands like Miu Miu, Loewe and Coach. Adorning a handbag with charms is what some would refer to as "Birkinifying," an homage to the late Jane Birkin, who was known for decorating her namesake Hermès satchel with all sorts of tchotchkes and trinkets. But Shirreffs feels we've hit peak bag-charm obsession with Labubu. "I think it's the death rattle of the bag charm trend. Going out with a real bang." These spring fashion trends are everywhere right now While Red agrees that the craze may not last, especially for those who were merely chasing the high of getting their hands on a Labubu, she believes the bag charm has staying power with OG collectors. But in the end, she thinks the social aspect and joy of the trend outweighs everything else. She cites instances where she's struck up conversations with strangers who were also toting Labubus on their bags. "I think if this trend brought happiness, genuine social interaction and positivity, nothing else matters," she said. I think it's the death rattle of the bag charm trend. Going out with a real bang. - Amanda Lee Shirreffs Intrigued by bag charms, but not sure if Labubu is for you? Shirreffs suggests alternative options that may serve up a similar dose of joy, like teddy bear keychains by Vaquera and Vivienne Westwood. If you're particularly crafty, there's no shortage of online tutorials to DIY your own bag charm. Or make like Birkin herself and embellish your carryall with personal mementoes and ephemera unique to you. Whatever you choose, Labubu or not, it's all about having fun.

Fans celebrate as BTS stars Jimin, Jung Kook end mandatory South Korea military service
Social Sharing Hundreds of fans gathered in the early morning hours to catch a glimpse of K-pop superstars Jimin and Jung Kook, the latest and final members of BTS to be discharged from South Korea's mandatory military service. The pair wore their military uniforms Wednesday, saluted and addressed fans who had assembled to see the pair after their discharge. Jung Kook thanked the journalists and fans who travelled to see him and Jimin after their discharge and acknowledged how different it was to be back in the spotlight. "Actually, it's been so long since I've been in front of cameras, and I didn't even put on makeup, so I'm a bit embarrassed," he said. "I don't know what to say." The pair enlisted in December 2023, one day after RM and V did the same. The latter were discharged on Tuesday. Supporters travelled from around the world to the public sports ground where the meet-and-greet took place. It was moved from the military base's gate for safety reasons. Colour-wrapped buses bearing BTS members' faces lined the streets, while red and yellow balloons floated above. A decorated food truck provided free coffee and water, adding to the festive atmosphere. Many supporters wore masks, conscious of potential backlash after the band's label discouraged attendance, citing safety concerns. WATCH | Jin, first member of BTS to complete mandatory military service, discharged in 2024: BTS star Jin finishes mandatory military service 12 months ago Duration 0:39 Despite the challenges, fans like Anaesi from Portugal said the 20-hour journey to Yeoncheon, a town near the tense border with North Korea, was worth it. "Portugal is a small country, but inside of Portugal, BTS is a king," she said. Anaesi, who discovered BTS on YouTube, said the group "saved" her from depression. "So for me, BTS is my angel," she said. She displayed a colourful upper arm tattoo featuring a golden shield emblazoned with "ARMY" and an eagle above it, complemented by Korean text listing BTS members' names and those of her friends. V thanked fans Tuesday for their patience in waiting for him and RM's return and teased the band's reunion. "If you can just wait a little bit longer, we will return with a really amazing performance." The seven singers of the popular K-pop band plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025 after they finish their service. Six of the group's seven members served in the army, while Suga is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service. He will be discharged later this month. Jin, the oldest BTS member, was discharged in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October. In South Korea, all able-bodied men aged 18 to 28 are required by law to perform 18-21 months of military service under a conscription system meant to deter aggression from rival North Korea. The law gives special exemptions to athletes, classical and traditional musicians, and ballet and other dancers if they have obtained top prizes in certain competitions and are assessed to have enhanced national prestige. K-pop stars and other entertainers aren't subject to such privileges. However, in 2020, BTS postponed their service until age 30 after South Korea's National Assembly revised its Military Service Act, allowing K-pop stars to delay their enlistment until age 30. There was heated public debate in 2022 over whether to offer special exemptions of mandatory military service for BTS members, until the group's management agency announced in October 2022 that all seven members would fulfill their duties.
