Before I tell you how to make this cookies, most of you must be wonder what is BT21. As a fan of BTS, I really want to make something related to them and glad that they made a characters that describe them and their relationship. BT21 is the first project of LINE FRIENDS CREATORS. They thought that it would be nice to have a sort of bond that would connect all seven friends, just like BTS.
It’s new IP created with the collaboration of LINE FRIENDS and BTS (방탄소년단) Rather than simply creating avatars of the physical appearance of artists, BT21 consists of 8 different charming characters created by BTS (방탄소년단) members, where all of them actively participated in the whole process from drawing sketches to elaboration. BT21 means BTS and 21st century so this characters will last for 100 years hahaha, but don’t you think these characters looks soooo cute.
Since BTS is the biggest Kpop band right now, everything that related to them will be happening. BT21 already has so many collaboration, like Reebok, VT cosmetics, Chocoolate, Olive young, CGV, Paris Baguette, Converse, Mediheal aaaand many more.
