Jungkook has been dubbed as the “Sold Out King” as everything he touches sells out. Now, the BTS star lives up to his title as his mini-doll became a best seller on the biggest retailers in the world.
BTS released its new series of mini-dolls, and Jungkook’s mini-me was unsurprisingly the best seller in Barnes & Noble. A fan account took to Twitter to share the Golden Maknae’s latest achievement.
“#Jungkook's Mini Doll, Prestige Doll, and Funko Pop are all Best Seller No.1 within the categories. His merch ranked No.1 and No.3 of the BTS Games&Collectibles category. JK's Mini Doll ranked No.2 out of 158 goods under @BTS_twt category,” it wrote. “Jungkook's Mini Doll ranked Best Seller No.2 out of 158 goods under @BTS_twt main category, the highest-ranking for BTS member merch,” the fan account added in a different tweet.
It’s no secret that Jungkook is very influential. Aside from his official BTS merch, a lot of fans are so enamored with him that they buy every single thing that he uses — from laundry soap to wine and even a very pricey sweater.
While talking to ARMYs on BTS’ fancafe, Jungkook revealed that he uses Downy Liquid Fabric Conditioner in the scent "Adorable,” which is called "Amber Blossom" in the United States. He probably didn't realize that it would cause a stir — but it did. After his revelation, a two-month supply of the fabric softener sold out in one day.
Three months ago, Jungkook wore a statement sweater from the brand VETEMENTS and it quickly sold out. Despite its very competitive price, ARMYs purchased all available sweaters that sell for as much as 73,000 yen or USD 688.
Jungkook himself knows his power in selling things out, which is why he sometimes doesn’t mention the brand in fear of him not be able to purchase them again because ARMYs would buy them all out. Unfortunately for the BTS star, eagle-eyed fans still figure things out despite his attempt to cover the labels.
ARMYs always jokingly complain that they are getting broke from buying all the BTS merch, tour tickets, and a lot more. However, it seems that they would always have the money to buy these things, even the very expensive ones.
Meanwhile, Jungkook is not a newbie when it comes to breaking records. The 22-year-old singer, songwriter, and record producer may be the youngest member of BTS, but he is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with. Hence his title the “Golden Maknae.”
