ABOUT THE PROJECT

Lotte Series L. x Pudgy Penguins KBW 2025 featuring SM Jazz Trio

Bringing Pudgy to the Main Stage: Web3 Meets K-Pop Culture.

 

We led the Lotte Series.L partnership to bridge Pudgy Penguins into Korea’s mainstream entertainment scene.

 

At the Jamsil Lotte Concert, Pudgy Penguins stole the spotlight with SM Jazz Trio, 10cm, and Sunwoojunga. As title sponsor of the September 2025 Series L concert, Pudgy Penguins entered the Web2 cultural arena through music, art, and play. This connects global Web3 identity with local pop culture energy.

 

From creative direction to on-site execution, The Blurb managed end-to-end production that includes the art, merchandise, and experiential design. The highlight: an interactive claw machine activation on the day of the concert with exclusive Pudgy prizes, creating an approachable entry point for new fans.

 

Together, we built a campaign that turned fandom into participation, blending Pudgy’s warmth and humor with Korea’s love for community engagement and experiential marketing.
