Yo, it’s your favorite 2PM fangirls back for another year boothing it at KCON LA! After getting wind that they doubled the prices for booths this year, we sat down long and hard about whether we should run one again. It was a heartbreaking thought since we have ran a booth every year since KCON invited us back in 2012 when they all began. We decided, arguably a lil too late, that if we gotta shell out extra dime anyway, we are going to go for broke!!!
You see, me and my Hottest partner in crime, not only met & became super close friends through 2PM fandom, but we are also coworkers. Both disgruntled in our creativity-blocking 9-5 office jobs and tired of being yelled at by our boss at the top of his lungs, we came to the conclusion that she, a goal-oriented big picture-seeing entrepreneur, and I, an amateur yet determined graphic designer, should put our passionate & creative skills together to become business partners! And this year is going to the year of our launch so we must put our hearts, heads, and wallets together to get our foot in the door of the path to achieve our dreams. We’ll be launching 2 separate stores: one for fandom and another for non-fandom but I’ll only discuss our fandom one lol!
We are branding ourselves as Boss Cheoreom (meaning: Like a Boss!) and we have our sights set on revolutionizing K-pop fanmade merch in the West. We all know K-fans produce excellent high quality merchandise at a good price and we want to do the same. This is just the beginning. We are starting from our favorite K-pop groups and will stem into all fandoms post-KCON!
So, on to our KCON 2016 merch! Every year we’ve had big lofty goals about merch we should sell but could never afford to produce. This year, however, is all different. First off, I want to thank all our vendors for creating our amazing merch in a timely manner!
- MilesToGo from PinGameStrong.com helped us produce our stunning enamel pins and really went out on a limb to meet our deadline. We’ve got a Twice and 2PM enamel pin as well as Glow-in-the-Dark 2PM and GOT7 light stick pins!
- The duo at @acornpress who produced our absolutely beautiful acrylic charm key chains at lightning speed. I’ll be definitely ordering with you two again in the very near future! The charms are my rendition of the 2PM member logos from one of their Japanese albums.
- and Patrick, my Hottest partner in crime’s good friend, for producing our vinyl decal stickers with his professional-grade machine as fast he could! We have decal stickers for every current JYP Nation group :D
Other [not-pictured] merch we are selling are:
- sets of 4 button packs for Wonder Girls, 2PM, GOT7, Day6, and Twice all designed and made by us at Boss Cheoreom
- gildered logo buttons of all current JYP Nation groups
- Package deals of button packs, enamel pins, and vinyl decal stickers
- Cute LED star light sticks for the concert portions of KCON
- posters, star cards, etc
- left over merch from our previous years (wooden charms, plastic charms, postcard prints, buttons designed by Gnawkun and Junkay Street, etc etc)
Be sure to visit us at KCON 2016! Our booth will be in that tiny red rectangle on the first floor of the South Exhibit Hall
If you won’t be at KCON LA this year, don’t worry! We’ll be putting everything on our Etsy shop (BossCheoreom) after the convention as well as selling our 2PM merch for the @worldclasshottests fundraiser.
