Wake up Blinks, it's time to rise and shop! Starbucks Asia Pacific will be releasing a collaboration with K-pop superstars BLACKPINK, featuring merchandise with the girl group's black and pink colours and its logo. The collection was titled ‘Spark in You’ during its run with Starbucks Thailand back in 2021. Due to the 2021 collaboration's overwhelming popularity, Korean BLINKS had been requesting its re-release in their home country. We can expect this collaboration to drop sometime in mid-July and include BLACKPINK-themed drinks, mugs, tumblers, keychains and even an apron.

According to the images we found on the new collaboration, there seem to be some differences between the new products and the earlier collab, such as the addition of multiple bedazzled tumbler designs and a gorgeous enamel charm keychain. Starbucks Asia Pacific commented that they hope this newest collaboration will gain viral attention, similar to the Starbucks x BTS collection in 2023.
