Singer BoA captured circumstances suggesting fraud and became furious.
On the 1st, BoA certified the 'Labubu doll' she purchased on her social account, saying, "There was no hidden stuff :("
Labubu is a popular character from China's Pop Mart, enjoying such immense popularity that it has led to stock shortages both domestically and overseas. As a result, BoA also purchased a large number of dolls in the form of a random box and did an unboxing.
However, after closely examining the doll, BoA was taken aback when the authentic QR code was not recognized, saying, "Wow.. Is this a fake..?" It is known that for genuine products, a QR code is printed on the label, and scanning it leads to the official certification page of Pop Mart, where the authenticity can be verified.
However, upon realizing that the QR code was not recognized, she recognized it as a counterfeit. BoA compared it with other Labubu dolls, expressing her confusion, saying, "The textures are different;; the colors are different.. What is real?", "It has 9 teeth, but the QR code doesn't work. If it's a fake Sakua, I'm not giving it back :(("
She then expressed her incredulity, saying, "Oh, this is so funny. What is this, causing a stir in the group chat?" and displayed her anger by posting about the platform where she purchased the Labubu doll, saying, "If it's a fake, take responsibility."
The platform in question is a limited-edition trading platform that inspects whether limited-edition products are genuine, as well as their defects and quality. It is known to be a highly trustworthy site that promises 'triple compensation' if the product is not genuine. However, it was previously revealed that BTOB's Yook Sungjae also expressed shock upon discovering that the Labubu doll he bought from this platform was counterfeit. Amid this, it seems that BoA has also fallen victim to counterfeit products.
Meanwhile, before BoA, ILLIT's Wonhee, BTOB's Yook Sungjae, and Lee Youngji also gained significant attention after falling victim to counterfeit Labubu products.
