Kakao will unveil Kakaofriends baseball goods made in collaboration with 10 clubs in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) through online and offline channels.
Kakao said Kakaofriends will release “2026 Kakaofriends X Pro Baseball Club” goods made with KBO professional baseball clubs on May 26.
Kakao has been releasing collaboration goods each year since its first project with a professional baseball club in 2023. After previously released products sold out in succession, it is now moving ahead with its fourth collaboration this year.
This year, it planned the lineup so fans can show their support not only at games but also in everyday life. Key items include keyring dolls of Chun-sik wearing each club’s uniform, tanning figure keyrings that change color in sunlight and handheld fans described as essential for attending games in hot weather.
The goods will go on sale from May 26 at the official Kakaofriends online store and on KakaoTalk Gift, and will also become available sequentially at each club’s official sales outlets. For offline sales, products will vary by store. The Kakaofriends Hongdae flagship store will sell the full lineup for all 10 clubs, while stores in department stores and shopping malls will mainly offer products tied to clubs based in each region.
A Kakao official said, "Since the first release in 2023, the collaboration with professional baseball clubs that has set steady sold-out records each year has already reached its fourth season and has returned with even more attractive products." The official added, "We hope moments of support in everyday life become even more enjoyable with Kakaofriends goods."
