“Starbucks > Pledis” — The Reason Why SEVENTEEN’s Fans Are Running To Starbucks
As of late, SEVENTEEN‘s fans (also known as CARATs) have been heading to Starbucks in search of something that isn’t on the menu.
As coffee fans know, Starbucks is one of, if not the largest coffee shop chains in the world. In addition to special drinks that even non-coffee lovers can enjoy, Starbucks often create a buzz over their custom cups, tumblers, and other drinkware.
Collecting the cups has also turned into a bit of a sport for those serious about their coffee!

It is the latest release of items that caught the attention of SEVENTEEN’s fanbase. Each year, Starbucks introduces a spring Cherry Blossom collection, and this year’s collection is one of the prettiest yet.
This year, the collection’s color scheme is a pretty blue and pink — remarkably similar to SEVENTEEN’s fandom colors of Rose Quartz and Serenity!

K-Pop fans love to find “unofficial” merchandise of their faves out in the wild, but this collection came at an opportune time for CARATs.
Just a week ago, version three of SEVENTEEN’s lightstick was introduced and was met with disappointment from fans who did not like the darker theme of the fan item.
The downgrade. It has ZERO SEVENTEEN VIBE https://t.co/tnakvfs3i5
