The electric bicycle, commonly known as the ‘GD Bicycle,’ has been upgraded to a more stylish and sophisticated level through the BLACKPINK edition.
The BLACKPINK Pop-Up Store, ‘BORN PINK Pop-Up Experience in Seoul,’ will be held near Hongdae in Mapo-gu, Seoul from the 14th to the 17th.
Even before the opening of this pop-up store, it garnered considerable attention as it featured the sale of the BLACKPINK custom electric bicycle SUPER73, which was previously only available at pop-ups in New York and LA. SUPER73 became a trendy item in Korea after it was known that the singer G-Dragon rode it.
Particularly, as it collaborated with the world-renowned graphic artist VERDY, there was great interest in the more artistic and trendy SUPER73, and it even sold out on the opening day at overseas pop-ups, proving its popularity.
A YG PLUS representative, met at the launch event held in Seoul on the morning of the 14th before the pop-up opening, stated to Xportsnews, “The SUPER73 BLACKPINK custom electric bicycle will be sold as an updated version at the Seoul pop-up.”
As a result, the previously sold BLACKPINK edition electric bicycle, which was priced in the $3,000 range, has now increased in price to $5,000. It is expected to further enhance fans’ satisfaction as it is upgraded to be more stylish and sophisticated than the previous version. The representative also mentioned, “In overseas pop-ups, we sold about 20 units each, but for the Seoul pop-up, we plan to sell only 10 units per person.”
Meanwhile, the BLACKPINK x VERDY ‘BORN PINK Pop-Up Experience’ in Hongdae, Seoul, will be open from today (14th) until the 17th. In this Seoul pop-up, limited-edition capsule collections, including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, keychains, stickers, collaborated by BLACKPINK and VERDY, will be sold, and visitors can also enjoy photo zones and photo booths.
