### Hoppe-chan, Beloved Since Heisei, Enters Korea's Sticker and Deco Culture
"Hoppe-chan" is a popular character representing Sunhoseki.
With its squishy appearance and rich variety of expressions and colors, it has been loved by many fans.
"CANDY BONBON STICKER," which has started distribution in Korea, is a series of four types of stickers that bring Hoppe-chan's cuteness to life.
These products are highly compatible with Korea's popular sticker deco, diary deco, and "Oshi-katsu" (fandom activities) deco, allowing users to freely decorate various daily items such as diaries, smartphone cases, photo card cases, notebooks, letters, and gift wrapping.
### Product Features
- **Puffy, three-dimensional feel:**
Each sticker has thickness, creating a prominent finish just by applying it. Unlike flat stickers, you can enjoy three-dimensional decoration.
- **Translucent glossy finish:**
It features a candy-like translucence and gloss. The sparkle when it catches the light is charming, and simply applying it to a diary or small items creates a glamorous impression.
- **Four colorful designs:**
Available in four types based on pink, blue, yellow, and purple. Hoppe-chan's expressions and motifs also vary, making it a collection-worthy lineup.
- **Excellent compatibility with Korean decoration culture:**
It is a perfect product for Korean decoration culture, such as diary deco, photo card deco, smartphone deco, and gift deco, which are popular in Korea.
