Stray Kids Fans React To New “Heart Tung” and “Heart Taeng” Merch

Ever since Stray Kids came out with the music video for “Case 143” back on October 7, fans have been obsessed with the adorable heart-shaped characters that appeared in it.

It was pretty clear that they would easily be made into some kind of merchandise, and yesterday, JYP Entertainment opened up pre-orders for just that!

The merch drop includes a pink and green version of the characters, which are named “Heart Tung” and “Heart Taeng” respectively. And they are absolutely adorable.

Others had opinions about the names of the characters, since many people insist that the pink character is called “Pipi”.

Still others lamented over how broke they are, which is something all K-Pop fans can relate to.
