The "Golden Good Neighbors" pop-up ice cream shop, run by South Korean personalities Kim Jia-eun, Yum Se-bin, and Ko Jia-bin, became a major attraction during the CPBL All-Star Game on July 18-19.
This year's performance was good, we will go to Xiang A Joy for a celebration dinner!
The shop sold out of all its ice cream and merchandise over the two days, generating 2.5 million NT dollars in revenue. This marks a 30% increase from the previous year, with the owners expressing their delight and planning a celebratory dinner.
This year's collaboration with "Xiang Bin Group" for a limited-edition ice cream was a success. "We had prepared a lot of stock, but it all sold out. I'm very proud and satisfied," said Ko Jia-bin. Yum Se-bin added, "This is our second year, and fans from other teams came to buy ice cream. It's always so crowded, which makes me very happy." Kim Jia-eun expressed gratitude, stating, "Many fans have tried it before but still come back to buy. Seeing so many fans happy makes me happy too." When asked to rate their performance, all three unanimously gave it a "perfect score, 100 points!"
We had prepared a lot of stock, but it all sold out. I'm very proud and satisfied.
Beyond fan support, many friends visited to show their encouragement. Ko Jia-bin mentioned that JJUBI and Kim Do-eul found the Rakuten Monkeys' cheerleading song difficult, but it's her favorite. Yum Se-bin shared that she had been inviting Mingo to try the ice cream since the first day, and Mingo finally appeared on the second day. Kim Jia-eun was happy to reunite with Rakuten mascots Yuan Qi and Da Sheng during the All-Star Game, noting that many fans complimented her hat, which she loves.
This is our second year, and fans from other teams came to buy ice cream. It's always so crowded, which makes me very happy.
Fans queued for extended periods for a chance to interact with the three "goddesses." When asked about returning next year, Yum Se-bin suggested selling salads, while Kim Jia-eun wants to continue her "little painter" venture with the popular illustrated clothing. Ko Jia-bin agreed that both ideas were excellent. "Golden Good Neighbors" not only created sweet summer memories during the All-Star Game but also sparked anticipation for next year's surprises.
Many fans have tried it before but still come back to buy. Seeing so many fans happy makes me happy too.
