Fans of TXT's Yeonjun are celebrating a sweet victory as a special collaboration dessert, inspired by his hit solo track "Ice Cream," completely sold out its initial stock. The highly anticipated 'Sour Lemon Yogurt' cup, which launched on June 16, 2026, quickly moved all 40,000 units, establishing a new record for K-pop artist collaboration products released this year.
The unique dessert is a joint effort between convenience store giant GS25, premium dessert brand Yoajeong, and dessert manufacturer Roromelo. It draws its vibrant concept directly from Yeonjun's title track "Ice Cream," featured on his second mini-album, 'NO LABELS: PART 02'. The product's packaging playfully reflects the song's theme, and each cup includes exclusive fan treats like a mini photo card and a random sticker, making it a must-have for MOAs.
The demand for the 'Sour Lemon Yogurt' cup was exceptionally high, leading to its rapid depletion across GS25 stores. According to GS25, the initial batch of approximately 40,000 units was entirely snapped up in the shortest time among all K-pop artist collaboration products launched in 2026. This overwhelming popularity even caused local shortages in some regions, with GS25 candidly stating that sales far exceeded their initial expectations. Due to this phenomenal success, discussions are currently underway for additional production, and fans can look forward to a bar-shaped version of the dessert, which is scheduled for release on June 21, 2026.
The dessert's explosive popularity is intrinsically linked to the widespread success of Yeonjun's solo track "Ice Cream." The song cleverly uses the characteristics of ice cream as a metaphor for relationships, a concept vividly brought to life in the 'Sour Lemon Yogurt' cup's intensely tangy flavor. This creative synergy between the music and the product has connected deeply with fans, enhancing both the listening and consumption experience.
"Ice Cream" has been making significant waves across various platforms since its release. As of June 20, 2026, at 1 PM KST, more than 84,000 videos on TikTok featured the song's audio, demonstrating its immense viral appeal. The track also impressively secured the second spot on TikTok's 'Viral 50' chart, further cementing its status as a trending hit. Beyond digital charts, Yeonjun has also achieved two music show wins for "Ice Cream," triumphing on KBS2's 'Music Bank' and MBC's 'Show! Music Core', delighting fans with his compelling performances.
Adding to his string of achievements, Yeonjun's second mini-album, 'NO LABELS: PART 02', recorded an impressive 738,072 copies in first-week sales. This landmark figure marks the highest first-week sales for any Korean solo artist album released in 2026, underscoring Yeonjun's formidable power as a solo artist. The album's strong performance, coupled with the viral success of "Ice Cream" and its related merchandise, paints a vivid picture of his soaring popularity.
With a highly successful album, chart-topping single, and a record-breaking collaboration product, Yeonjun continues to showcase his multifaceted talent and clear influence in the K-pop landscape. Fans eagerly anticipate what further achievements he will unlock as his solo career continues to flourish.
