Jollibee, the global restaurant brand, has announced a new partnership with the internationally-acclaimed girl group, KATSEYE.
This landmark collaboration unites the restaurant brand’s rich heritage of bringing families and communities together through delicious food with the dynamic girl group’s vibrant energy and rapidly growing global fanbase of EYEKONS, said the brand.
“This collaboration is a natural fit, rooted in Jollibee and KATSEYE’s shared ability to spark joy among their global fanbases. Jollibee, with its unique flavors, universally loved offerings like its crispy, juicy Jolly Crispy Chicken, and welcoming service, has cultivated a loyal following across generations and cultures. Its journey from a humble ice cream parlor in the Philippines to a global QSR powerhouse mirrors the aspirational rise of KATSEYE, a group known for its youthful pop sound, diverse talent, and dedication to connecting with devoted fans worldwide,” it said.
“Both Jollibee and KATSEYE are currently taking the world by storm. Recently named the “best fast food fried chicken” by USA TODAY for the second year in a row, Jollibee is always looking for ways to bring joy to its community through next-level food and more. Having just sold out their Beautiful Chaos tour, KATSEYE continues to raise the bar, delivering hit after hit. With each brand at the top of its game, this collaboration is a moment fans won’t want to miss.”
Complex, the media brand known for its sharp pulse on pop culture, will exclusively house the three custom Jollibee x KATSEYE items, which are designed to capture the upbeat and stylish nature of this perfectly fitting partnership. Quantities are extremely limited, so fans are encouraged to act quickly, as items are likely to sell out.
- Shared Dream Tank Top: With its cosmic flair and clean lines, this tank captures the bold energy of EYEKONS chasing big dreams across galaxies, with a Jollibee twist.
- Double Drop Denim Tote: Sturdy, stylish, and made to carry happiness, this two-sided denim tote flips between subtle flex and full fan mode.
“Jollibee always strives to bring people together through the universal language of delicious food and shared moments of joy,” said Luis Velasco, Senior Vice President and Marketing Head at Jollibee North America.
“This is precisely why partnering with KATSEYE, a group that deeply resonates with a diverse, global audience and embodies such positive energy, is a perfect match for our beloved brand. Their passion and vibrant spirit align seamlessly with our distinctive heritage of fostering community and happiness. We’re incredibly excited to join forces with such a talented group of women and create unforgettable experiences for our fans.”
Following the August 15 merch drop, Jollibee and KATSEYE will continue to surprise fans with exclusive, “joy-filled experiences that blend bold flavor and fierce style. From crave-worthy bites to limited-edition collectibles, the partnership is just getting started—so keep your eyes (and taste buds) ready.” More announcements to come.
“We could not be happier to partner with Jollibee, a brand that we’ve been truly obsessed with for a long, long time,” stated KATSEYE. “This collaboration feels incredibly authentic to us, and it’s all about good vibes, bold flavor, and making memories with our EYEKONS. We can’t wait to share this journey with both our fans and Jollibee’s – it’s going to be beautifully chaotic.”
