When Line Friends released their BT21 5 Years Anniversary collection, my first thought was, "Wow, it's already been 5 years?" and my second thought was, "Well, I obviously need to celebrate." So I bought two items: the Mini Figurine Dollhouse Set, because I've collected all the other BT21 figure sets; and the Black Hooded Sweatshirt, which is the only clothing item in this collection.

I can't believe I've been collecting BT21 for 5 years already. I still remember the Making Of videos of BTS creating these characters and the final reveals. I remember how hard it was to even buy the merch if you weren't in Korea. (When they first launched, Line Friends only had a BT21 shopping page through Amazon for international customers and the products were very limited — they'd release maybe 5 to 10 items at a time — so everything sold out within minutes of them releasing it.) I had to buy all of my BT21 goods through an independent seller in Seoul (shout-out to Jaewon), who would line up at the store for me just to get everything I wanted.
Of course, like BTS, BT21 also blew up and now it's available everywhere, but still, going through my 5-year journey of collecting BT21 makes me wonder just how much money Line Friends has made off of me...
