Rubber Duck Project craze sparks K-pop idols’ interests
A giant rubber duck appeared in Seoul on October 14th in order to celebrate the opening of the new Lotte World Mall. Its arrival has sparked the interest of many idols who have posted cute and funny posts about the duck.
The enormous rubber duck is a project initiated by Dutch artist, Florentijn Hofman, who describes the duck as “a very positive artistic statement that immediately connects people to their childhood.” It has traveled to many cities across the world and this month it was invited to Seoul by The Lotte Group. The duck will be on display from October 14th – November 14th in front of the construction site of the new mall.
Since the rubber duck arrived in Seoul, many artists and idols have taken to their social media accounts to express their love of the duck. Check out some of the artists below who were amused by the duck.
Block B‘s Hyo dedicated five posts to the duck, two of them being pictures.
