Around 15,000 local fans visited the Hara Kuju store in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan for the first time to unveil 'BT21', a character-based character created for the 21st century. 
 
Before opening the door, some 6,000 fans were lined up long enough not to see the end, and some of the stores were crowded with crowds of clouds.

Compared to the fact that more than 500 fans were found at the opening of the Itaewon store in Seoul in early January, it makes us realize how popular Bangladeshi boys are in Japan.

Line Friends, who made 'BT21', selected the K-Pop group bulletproof boy band, which is loved by fans around the world for the first project.

Line Friends is not only a traditional character making with the motif of the artist's appearance, but also created a total of 8 characters 'BT21' by participating in the whole process from the first sketch to setting and refining works. Line Friends has opened and operates 100 stores around the world, including Seoul, New York, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

'BT21', the collaboration between BTS and LINE, opened its store in Japan on March 17. Over 6,000 fans were already waiting in line before the store even opened, and over 15,000 fans visited during the day

 

'LINE' said, "The characters in 'BT21' are drawn by the BTS members themselves. They created 8 characters to represent themselves and the group. When we opened the Harajuku store, so many fans visited in order to buy BT21 and we had a historically explosive response."
