Seokjin's ambassadorship campaign makes LANEIGE Cream Skin a top-selling product
BTS' Jin was named the global ambassador for LANEIGE on September 30, 2024. He has demonstrated his popularity and power, leading to the brand's top sales ranking and selling out products worldwide after being named the ambassador.
On October 1, a campaign video titled Welcome! This is BTS Jin's Cream Skin Lab was released on YouTube and social media. His visuals, often hailed as embodying fundamental beauty, received massive response from fans and the public worldwide.
Following the launch of the Cream Skin campaign featuring Jin, LANEIGE Cream Skin topped the sales rankings across all genders and age groups (teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s and older) at Olive Young, Korea's top drugstore chain, achieving the number one spot in the weekly rankings. The product has also sold out at offline stores.
In the U.S., LANEIGE Cream Skin became a bestseller on the brand's official website within seven days, further proving Seokjin's influence as the "Sold-Out King." The product saw similar success in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia, with instant sellouts and quick restocking. In China, a limited-edition mini photobook, released alongside the BTS star's campaign, sold out immediately on top platforms like Taobao and Tmall.
Globally, LANEIGE has launched a bold marketing campaign featuring Jin's face. His Cream Skin advertisement was displayed on a dual screen at the New York Times Square. His image can also be seen at major locations worldwide, which excites fans as they follow his journey as a beauty icon.
Seokjin, often dubbed the "Visual King," has previously caused similar instances of selling out products after becoming the global ambassador for high-end jewelry brand FRED and luxury fashion house Gucci. With LANEIGE, Jin continues to be a popular global ambassador, leading with massive sales and influence.
