K-pop supergroup BLACKPINK will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut in 2026. While fans may have expected the usual run of concerts or photo merchandise, the group has chosen to surprise them instead. BLACKPINK has announced a collaboration with MU:DS, the official cultural merchandise brand of the National Museum of Korea, for the new “BLACKPINK HERITAGE COLLECTION” 10th-anniversary collection. Rather than simply printing photos on products, the collaboration combines the elegance of Korea’s national-treasure artifacts with BLACKPINK’s signature pink-and-black spirit, transforming royal robes and museum-quality ceramics into tasteful everyday objects.

The Heritage collection draws its inspiration from the “Chiui,” the highest-ranking ceremonial robe worn by women of Korea’s Joseon royal court and held in the National Museum of Korea’s collection. The design team incorporated the Chiui’s plum blossom motifs, its “husu” waist ornament, and details of traditional Korean craftsmanship, all in BLACKPINK’s signature black and pink palette.

Details of the 7 Key Pieces
The collaboration introduces seven lifestyle and home decor pieces. Perhaps the most appealing is the traditional moon jar, given a warm pink finish; its simple, full-bodied silhouette brings a calm presence to any table. The spoon-and-chopsticks set transforms the “husu” waist ornament at the back of the royal Chiui into an intricately hand-sewn case, paired with silver utensils to add a sense of ritual to everyday meals. Also included are a wind chime inspired by the traditional daeseoto hair ornament and jogakbo patchwork cloth; a hantak box made of semitransparent acrylic with a gradient finish; a folding fan with black bamboo ribs washed with pink; a key ring combining a traditional comb and decorative knotting; and a special pink soju glass. Each piece reflects the care taken with its details.
