BTS' Jin Boosts Sales Of Plushie Featured In 'Super Tuna' Video

BTS member Jin's "Super Tuna" video has taken the Internet by storm and even sent a blue plushie to fly off the shelves of a famous discount chain.

In celebration of his birthday on Dec. 4, the 29-year-old singer and rapper dropped a fun song and video as a surprise gift for his avid fans. Much like other BTS videos on YouTube, the clip has been well-received. In fact, it now has 22 million views since its release.

Moreover, the video has clinched the No. 4 spot on the list of trending videos on the streaming platform. The catchy track has also given birth to a TikTok dance challenge after it reached nearly 100 million views on the app.

This doesn't end here, however. Eager to go beyond streaming the song and video and taking part in the dance challenge, fans have also flocked to Target to get their hands on the same blue plushie that is sewn onto Jin's and his backup dancers' shirts in the "Super Tuna" clip.

The item, a blue whale dog toy called "Moby Lick," is part of Bark's nautical and fish-themed line dubbed "Under the Seams," according to Rolling Stone. The demand for the said toy increased as soon as ARMYs found out where it can be purchased.

An ARMY even tweeted a short clip saying where it can be bought and how much it costs.

In a report, Koreaboo shared a TokTok video of an ARMY who successfully scored the last two pieces of the toy from a Target branch. Another fan reportedly made a quick run to Target at 11 p.m. in hopes of getting the same plushie.

Though the toy is still available online, it may sell out soon, the outlet warned. This won't be a surprise at all, since many fans have been getting the item from the discount chain's online store and noting in their reviews that they made the purchase because of Jin.

"All the BTS reviews just flooding this dog toy is hilarious, im definitely buying one," one customer said.

This isn't the first time a member of the South Korean boyband is causing a sudden increase in the demand for a particular item on the market. In October, the outfits V wore at The Facts Music Awards quickly sold out after eager fans bought the same clothes.
