KK Group also owns The Colorist (beauty product concept store) and X11 (trendy toy concept store). Its vision 'Live without Boundaries' drives a global presence spanning 1,000+ stores in six countries. As the core brand, KKV adopts the philosophy of 'exploring 100 lifestyles,' and offers over 20,000 SKUs across eight categories, including trendy toys, home goods, daily essentials, cosmetics, and more, while actively exploring additional product possibilities.
Focusing on Gen Z: The Debut of KKV in Singapore Ignites a Consumption Frenzy
The color-coded shelving for different product categories and the bright yellow container-style exterior are visually striking, which triggered a surge of KKV related UGC (user-generated content) and quickly made it a local hot topic on social media.
KKV's diverse product portfolio perfectly meet the needs of Singaporean Gen Z. 'I was just here to take pics with my friend, but I ended up grabbing a bunch of stuff,' said Lim Jia Yi, pointing to her basket while in line at the checkout. 'There's always something new and fun here, you know? Young folks would definitely love it.' Sales data from the opening period showed that trendy toys, snacks, and household essentials were particularly popular among young Singaporean consumers.
Continuing to deeply engage and lead the development of Singapore's trendy retail market
KKV has full confidence in the Singapore market, which stems from the city-state's unique consumption potential and demographic advantages. Gen Z accounts for nearly 30% of the population in Singapore, with an annual per capita consumption expenditure exceeding SGD 30,000. This young demographic continues to drive rising demand for trendy products and experiential consumption, which aligns perfectly with KKV's brand positioning. As stated by Rojen Wu, Chief Operating Officer of KK Group international project, 'As a globally leading trend retail brand, KKV respects every individual. We hope that in KKV, everyone can find products they love and express their lifestyle attitude.'
Based on this, KKV will continue to deepen its partnerships with local commercial giants like CapitaLand and Frasers Property, leveraging their customer traffic advantages to rapidly penetrate the Singapore market. KKV plans to open 10 stores in Singapore by 2025 to cover more core commercial districts and further strengthen its brand influence.
Meanwhile, KKV will keep bringing in top-quality global products, refine its product assortment, and offer an upgraded shopping experience for Singaporean consumers — aiming to maintain its leadership in the trendy retail sector.

What is Bop House on TikTok? Florida OnlyFans content creators make millions. What to know
A group of seven women who live in one Fort Lauderdale mansion are pulling in about $250 million a year by posting on OnlyFans and making lifestyle videos, to the tune of a collective 90 million people watching across social media platforms. They call themselves 'bops' and their content creation house the 'Bop House.' 'In a May 14 TikTok that's since racked up 4 million views, the house's residents dance in barely-there bodycon dresses in front of brightly lit signs spelling out 'BOPS,'' USA TODAY reported this week. 'They fly on private jets to the Super Bowl, own Porsches and Lamborghinis and rack up $4,000 dinner bills on a night out.' Here's what a 'bop' is, who lives in the Bop House and how much it costs to rent the waterfront home. Is it problematic? Online, young female OnlyFans stars make their lives look aspirational. A 'bop' is 'a term for a person who has had many sexual partners, or who presents themself online in a way that is thought of as immodest (such as posting pictures or video with revealing clothing),' according to Merriam-Webster's slang definition of the word. To some social media users, 'bop' also means 'baddie on point,' and to many TikTok users and creators, the slang word is nearly synonymous with 'sex worker.' The Bop House is 'your new favorite girls only influencer house,' according to the Bop House official TikTok account. The account is currently made up of seven women (at one point, eight women) who are all OnlyFans content creators and social media influencers. While their OnlyFans content is explicit and pornographic, their other social media accounts, like their shared TikTok account, focus on their general lifestyle and all the perks that come with making millions online. They've posted house tours of their ritzy Fort Lauderdale waterfront rental, participate in trending TikTok sounds and challenges and clear up drama surrounding their livelihoods and living situation. 'The name 'Bop House' nods to the Gen Z slang term 'bop,' meaning a woman who has had many sexual partners,' USA TODAY reported. 'Many of their videos poke fun at the term, and they respond to commenters saying they should 'get a real job.'' Alina Rose, one of the Bop House members, told USA TODAY that her critics partly inspired her to move into a house with other content creators. 'They're going to call us bops no matter what,' she told USA TODAY. So she decided to lean into it with like-minded women. And the venture has been profitable, helping the women find financial freedom. But it also comes with drawbacks, like the danger of glamorizing the adult content creating lifestyle to young girls who may be watching their videos. Sophie Rain, the 20-year-old who co-founded the Bop House in December 2024, told USA TODAY that she grew up in a big family that relied on food stamps and is now their primary breadwinner, earning $43 million in her first year. 'She paid off her parents' mortgage and $15,000 in property taxes and gifted her older brother his dream car, a BMW M2, with her salary,' USA TODAY reported. 'Rain considers herself a feminist, and hopes the Bop House will help de-stigmatize adult entertainment creators. Still, every now and then, she hesitates to press 'post' knowing how young girls might interpret her videos.' The residents of the Bop House have come and gone, at one point having eight members and now having seven. Sophie Rain founded the house with Aishah Sofey. Camilla Araujo, Alina Rose, Summer Iris, Ava Reyes and Julia Filippo also currently live in the house. They use the high-end home as the backdrop to their OnlyFans and social media content. The Bop House has changed locations a few times, due to the address being leaked and endangering the women that live there. One of the women's most recent houses is in an Intracoastal neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to the Broward County Property Appraiser, the Fort Lauderdale home is worth around $6 million. The women have also recently lived in a multi-million dollar home overlooking Biscayne Bay in Miami. Whichever home they're in now, it has a steep rent, at $75,000 a month – not as huge a sum as it seems when split between seven women who each make a few million a year. The content creators told USA TODAY that they make around $250 million a year collectively.
