BTS’s Jungkook has the ability to sell out many products

Jungkook and his fellow BTS members have done advertisements for various brands. However, even he is not specifically marketing anything, Jungkook can still influence fans to buy many products. 

According to SBS, in 2019 alone, Jungkook got people to buy toothbrushes, fabric softener, wine, and a phone case. In a lot of instances, fans simply saw him use these products in videos or pictures and went out to buy them. Meanwhile, he simply mentioned Downy fabric softener in a Q&A post, and his response somehow convinced people to buy the product.

Last year, Jungkook even reportedly increased milk sales after he was seen drinking milk in BTS’s “Dynamite” music video. He even got shoutout from companies like Got Milk and the French dairy brand Les Produits Laitiers.

During a live stream on Feb. 27, Jungkook drank some lemon kombucha and told fans about the drink. Afterwards, kombucha sales dramatically increased.

Korean brand Teazen even acknowledged Jungkook’s marketing power on social media. On an Instagram post, the company revealed that they managed to sell out three months’ supply of kombucha in three days.

On March 7, Jungkook had another live stream, where he talks about the kombucha situation. He tells fans that he himself has had trouble buying more lemon kombucha.

“I could only get two packs,” he says. “You guys bought all of them, and they were sold out.”
