👉 The plushie's popularity is attributed to its scarcity, surprise, and ability to bring a sense of playfulness and cuteness to adult life. 👉 Adults have been buying Labubus to wear on their belts, bags, and even to work, as a way to express their inner child and reject traditional notions of adulthood. 👉 Labubu has become a symbol of the 'kidulthood' phenomenon, where the boundary between childhood and adulthood is becoming increasingly blurred. 👉 Pop Mart has capitalized on this trend by marketing Labubus specifically to young adults, who are looking for ways to inject playfulness and cuteness into their adult lives.
