On October 8, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC (now HYBE Labels) launched the latest "2024 DALMAJUNG BTS X MU:DS" collaboration merch. As soon as the merch was launched on Weverse Shop, several items from the collection sold out within minutes. The new merch line was created in collaboration with the National Museum of Korea and the National Museum Foundation of Korea.
The new merch collection depicted the reflection of white porcelain and celadon, which are emblematic relics of the National Museum of Korea. Historically cultural museum items like the "Lobed Vase with Chrysanthemum and Peony Celadon with inlaid design" and the "Bowl with Chrysanthemum Scroll Celadon with inlaid design" inspired the DALMAJUNG X BTS merch.
Items like the Moon Jar displayed BTS' logo on the front and the lyrics of their song, Mikrokosmos, at the back. The keyring was designed with BTS font details in the bronze key along with a tassel with cloud detailing in it.
