  • Ballop is launching a Chunsik-themed functional acupressure slipper collection with Kakao Friends through KakaoTalk Gift.
  • The collection includes 10 products across three design series and offers two footbeds with different levels of stimulation.
  • The slippers feature asymmetric pressure-point designs and ergonomic arch support.

Ballop is bringing Kakao Friends character Chunsik to a collection of functional acupressure slippers, with the products set for exclusive release through KakaoTalk Gift.

GTS Global, which operates Ballop, said it would unveil the collection at 10 a.m. on the 31st. The range includes 10 products in three design series: Caloring Chunsik, Caloring Choon Morning, and Caloring Angel & Devil.

The designs use Chunsikโ€™s different expressions and fictional world across the slippers and packaging. The company is targeting both character fans and consumers looking for practical everyday footwear.

The slippers come with two footbed options. Caloring Kokkok uses fine textured bumps for gentler stimulation and is intended for beginners. Caloring Kkookkkook has 1,700 double bumps arranged asymmetrically on the left and right sides for a stronger pressure-point sensation. Both versions use an asymmetric design reflecting the structure of the feet and provide ergonomic arch support.
