NewJeans, the popular K-pop girl group, surprised their fans with a special handmade gift during their Christmas Day performance at the 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon. Each fan in attendance received a unique mini magnet, crafted by the members themselves, showcasing their personal touch and affection for their supporters known as “Bunnies.”
Handcrafted Gifts
The mini magnets, which also serve as key ring charms, were made from clay. Each magnet was individually crafted and painted, reflecting a variety of designs including tangerines, hearts, ribbons, ornaments, bread, fish, roses, and more. These items were not just gifts but symbols of the group’s appreciation for their fans’ support.
Hanni, one of the members, shared her thoughts on the creation process through their fan communication platform:
“Bunnies, hi~~!! Today is finally the 25th!! This is the very first time we’re spending Christmas Day together… I really wanted to give you a gift, but more of you came than I expected!! Haha, I heard around 80 of you were coming, so I wanted to make something special—something that wouldn’t just disappear like food. With the help of the members, I made mini magnets for you!!
Since it’s been a while since I worked with clay, they’re not perfectly machine-made… Each one was individually crafted and painted by hand, which makes them one-of-a-kind!! Haha. Thank you so, so much for taking time out of your day and coming from far away to support us. And to the Bunnies watching from home, you know we’re so grateful to you too, right!??
Each magnet represents a different member, so no comparing them, okay~!!! Whether it’s the size or how pretty they are… because all of them were made with love and are meaningful, emotional, or just plain fun in their own way!! I hope you use them well, Bunnies~~!! Please post pictures too!! I’m a little nervous because I really hope you like them…”
