Why are fans expecting a capybara-shaped gummy?
The singer's love for capybaras is no hidden affair. She previously mentioned her fondness for the animal in a 2020 episode of the Korean variety show Knowing Bros. It was also briefly featured in the Ice Cream music video.
Besides, in the latest song video, which is also used in Haribo's post, the musician seemingly reincarnated as a capybara at the end of the song. All these reasons led the fans to expect capybara-shaped gummies from Haribo as a part of this collaboration.
Neither the brand nor the celebrity has revealed any details so far. It is certain that something is on the horizon; however, it will be intriguing to observe the collaboration between the two.
