On June 24, 2024, BTS Jin's Wootteo x RJ collaboration official merch opened its pre-orders at 6 PM KST until they sold out. Within a few minutes, 8 out of the 21 listed items on the Weverse Global Shop sold out and in another four hours, a total of 12 merch items were all sold out. Furthermore, the pre-order stock sale depends on a first-come-first-serve basis, and global shipping will begin on August 21.
For the uninitiated, BTS Jin had created and designed the BT21 character RJ, which has an alpaca-like appearance. Jin had also created another toy/cartoon character, Wootteo, for the promotion of his solo music The Astronaut - a collaboration with the British band Coldplay.
Both cartoon/toy characters have become an integral part of the BTS fandom and on the occasion of the Moon singer's military discharge, BIGHIT MUSIC initiated a collaboration between RJ and Wootteo and created special merch for the fans.
