“BTS Concert Tickets: Fans Express Frustration as BTS X MU:DS Official Merchandise Sells Out Quickly on Weverse”

On October 8, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC, now known as HYBE Labels, unveiled their exciting new merchandise line titled “2024 DALMAJUNG BTS X MU:DS.”The collection, available on Weverse Shop, saw numerous items sell out in mere minutes following its launch. This impressive merchandise line was created in partnership with the National Museum of Korea and the National Museum Foundation of Korea.

The merchandise beautifully showcases reflections of iconic white porcelain and celadon, which are significant artifacts displayed at the National Museum of Korea. Noteworthy items from the collection were equally inspired by historical pieces, such as the “Lobed Vase with Chrysanthemum and Peony Celadon”and the “Bowl with Chrysanthemum Scroll Celadon,”which informed the design of the DALMAJUNG X BTS merch.

Featuring items like the Moon Jar, the collection displayed the BTS logo prominently on the front, while the back showcased lyrics from the beloved song “Mikrokosmos.”Additionally, the keyring design featured BTS font elements on a bronze key accompanied by a tassel with cloud motifs.

Currently, the following products are no longer available:

Jewelry Box
Gourd Bottle & Cup Set
Wind Bell
Keyring
Photo Card Binder
Ring Set (gold)
White Porcelain Moon Jar Miniature

Fans of BTS, known as ARMY, took to X to express their disappointment as many struggled to secure their desired items before they quickly went out of stock. Some fans humorously compared the experience to trying to secure tickets for BTS concerts. One fan posted on X:

“Even the merch gets sold out in 2 mins. I’m never getting those BTS concert tickets.”

Numerous fans pointed out that the items became unavailable just moments after they reached the payment stage.

“I’m not surprised. I’m just angry that I’m so broke it hurts. Let me cry in a corner,”one fan lamented.

“The gold ring set sold out in just 1 minute!”another fan added.

“I was excited that I got it in my cart, but as I went to check out, poof—it’s gone. I was so close,”shared another fan.

Others expressed gratitude for being able to purchase at least one item from this coveted collection, while some praised the elegant aesthetics of the new merchandise.

“Both were in my basket, and when I went to check out, they sold out. But I managed to get the jewelry box,”a fan remarked.

“I snagged the gourd drinking set and I’m over the moon about that, but I still wanted the ring and the mini moon too,”another fan shared.

“As someone who appreciates art, owning any of these pieces would make me feel like a real collector. They look absolutely EXQUISITE. DALMAJUNG merch is always top tier! I NEED it,”wrote yet another fan.
