Downy Thanks Jungkook And His “Laundry Fairies” With A Free Giveaway
Nearly a week after BTS‘s Jungkook accidentally sparked a Downy craze, Downy Korea is thanking him and his “laundry fairies” by giving them Downy for free.
It all began when Jungkook dropped the name of his favorite fabric softener brand on BTS’s fan cafe. Fans immediately went on a spending spree that caused a Downy shortage in Korea. Even Jungkook couldn’t get his hands on any!
아미들… 저 섬유유연제 거의 다 써서 사야 되는데…

“ARMYs… I used up all of my fabric softener, so I have to buy more… but they’re sold out. #armyisimpressive”
— Jungkook
Downy Korea had to release a statement explaining why nearly two months’ worth of their stock had sold out in one day. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world, retailers like Walmart and Target took advantage of the craze by appealing to BTS-loving shoppers in cute and creative ways.
