Now the MINIVE characters from IVE are available as cuddly plush dolls!
K-Pop Blog > News> IVE
There is not only one K-Pop band that has their own cartoon characters. The most famous are undoubtedly the so-called BT21 characters from BTS and SKZOO from Stray Kids. But even Astro, Monsta X, ITZY and more have virtual doppelgangers. These characters often even sell their own fan merchandise: from stickers, keychains and buttons to stuffed animals!
Recently, the girl group IVE also introduced their own cartoon characters: MINIVE
MINIVE, as you can probably guess, stands for Mini Ive, because the characters are eventually nothing else than small, animal versions of the members of the girl group.
Eight days ago, an animated teaser appeared on Youtube introducing the cuddly characters:
Already the title brings back memories for one or the other fan, because "HAVE WHAT WE WANT" was also the name of the very first teaser that presented IVE one and a half years ago. It is the second video ever on their Youtube channel:
The MINIVE teaser, as you can see, is a detailed recreation of the original video and so it wasn't hard for fans to figure out which little animal belongs to which IVE member.
Starting today, you can pre-order MINIVE plush dolls from our store!
They will be released on June 6th and will be shipped from Germany towards the end of June.
We'll introduce you to the cute animals in more detail now, so you know exactly which plush dolls you should add to your collection:
GANGANYI is a doggie and represents YUJIN.
The squirrel DAL-E is the animal version of GAEUL.
You can tell by the birthmark under their mouths that they have in common.
NAORI is a duck and the counterpart of REI.
The name is derived from Rei's real name "Naoi Rei".
CHERRY the rabbit is obviously WONYOUNG.
Fans have been raving about how similar CHERRY looks to the beautiful singer ever since MINIVE was introduced. It even has the same birthmarks!
Then there's CHEEZ is a little cat with a pink heart on her cheek. She is the animal version of LIZ, who has a cute dimple on her cheek instead of a heart.
Finally, there is the pink tiger ERANG-E for LEESEO.
Which little animal represents your bias? Will you be getting the matching plushie or do you think another MINIVE character is cuter? Tell us in the comments!
We're sure the plushies are just the beginning. We're excited to see what other MINIVE fan items are in store for us in the future. We're hoping for some cute outfits for the plushies next, just like the SKZOO from Stray Kids!
