"Sold out king": Fans react as BTS' Jungkook sparks strawberry kancho cookie sell outs following his latest weverse live

BTS’ Jungkook hosted five Weverse live sessions across October 29 and 30, 2025, to interact with fans. On October 29, through 3 back to back live broadcast he played games with fans and fellow BTS member Jin, while the following day featured a relaxed rooftop mukbang at his home.Despite the different themes, a common highlight from these sessions on both days was Jungkook's mention of the Strawberry Kancho cookies by Lotte. During the first live, he revealed that he had purchased two bags full of these cookies.These cookies are produced by popular Korean snack brand Lotte.These are small, round biscuits about the size of a coin, each printed with a character and filled with a sweet strawberry yogurt cream. The 40th-anniversary edition of Kancho cookies, released in South Korea in September 2025, includes 500 of the most registered baby names in South Korea, printed on the biscuits as part of a limited-edition promotion.Jungkook shared that he had bought many packets in hopes of finding biscuits labeled with his own name “Jungkook” or “Ian.” For those unfamiliar, “Ian” was one of the stage name ideas he had considered before debuting and used it occasionally while gaming. His profile on TikTok was initially named "Ian". However, despite his efforts, he was unable to find either name during these live but amusingly came across one with his bandmate Jimin’s name instead.Following his broadcast, the limited-edition Strawberry Kancho cookies reportedly sold out both online and offline within 24 hours. Fans expressed surprise and amusement at how quickly the product disappeared from shelves. They took to social media to share their excitement and amusement over the sudden sellout, pointing out Jungkook’s consistent impact on brand sales and consumer trends. One fan commented,"Sold out king"Fans flooded social media with amazed reactions about the sellout. Many admired the singer’s influence, noting how even a casual mention of a snack could empty store shelves nationwide. Others playfully speculated that that the singer might now be facing difficulties on his mission of finding his name printed on the biscuits.🥢 Kim⁷ 석진 Panda ⟭⟬ᴱ ᴬᴿᴱ ᴮ⟬⟭ᶜᴷ (SUPER SLOW) @boredKimPandaLINKI'm waiting for Kancho to include Jungkook's nameTiggy Winkle⁷ @TiggyWinkle22LINKWhy am I not surprised! ? 🤣🤣🤣ile⁷ @kochujjangLINKJUNGKOOK??????

I’m opening one each day, but it’s not there? Then I’ll just eat it, whatever,” he said, expressing disappointment.The following day, on October 30, he continued engaging with fans through an Instagram question-and-answer session. There, the topic of the cookies resurfaced, and the youngest BTS member revealed that he had discovered his name was not included among the list of printed names in the limited-edition release. He even posted a photo of a biscuit featuring fellow BTS member Jimin’s name on his Instagram story.When a fan found humor in the situation, he playfully replied,“Is this funny? Is this funny to you?”Fans then attempted to cheer him up by mentioning that the name “Ian” was included in the collection. He responded lightheartedly, saying,“Ian on the list? Should I look for Ian then? I didn’t find it, but we should at least look for Ian. Ilan has gone, and Ian is here LOL. Sorry.”One fan even created a mock version of the cookies featuring the idol’s name, to which he responded with appreciation, saying, “Thank you.”Jungkook’s experience with the cookies has sparked lighthearted amusement among fans.
