With the appointment of Stray Kids, the brand aims to deepen its connection with the global ‘Z+Alpha generation’, a rising demographic known for its strong engagement with K-pop and Korean culture. By tapping into Stray Kids’ global influence, Lotte Wellfood aims to elevate Pepero’s image, positioning it not only as a snack but also as a cultural emblem of connection and affection.

The collaboration marks a strategic partnership that blends the dynamic, trendsetting image of Stray Kids with the beloved status of Pepero, a snack often shared to celebrate friendship and affection, especially on Pepero Day. This also includes worldwide promotions, digital campaigns, and special events, all aimed at creating memorable experiences for fans around the globe.
