HANCOM announced on the 25th that it will present merchandise featuring characters from its flagship typing practice program 'HANCOM Typing Practice.'
The HANCOM Typing merchandise will be publicly released as a standalone funding project through Tumblbug and will run from the 28th to Aug. 15 with limited quantities. This project is designed based on a retro concept that evokes nostalgia for the MZ generation who experienced 'HANCOM Typing Practice' during their elementary school years in the 1990s to early 2000s. The items include practical office supplies such as mousepads, keyrings, and stationery, as well as T-shirts and acrylic shaker keyrings inspired by the popular game 'Acid Rain.'
The characters from 'HANCOM Typing Practice' have expanded beyond simple educational aids, forming a connection across generations through various memes and worldviews in online communities. This merchandise release is expected to receive a warm response from fans eagerly welcoming their reappearance.
HANCOM has prepared an online event in conjunction with the merchandise funding. Starting on the 31st, an official service for 'HANCOM Typing' will feature a merchandise item update and a favorite character popularity vote. This allows for unique participation that connects the merchandise with the service.
