BLACKPINK’s LISA has a brand new obsession — and this time, it’s not Labubus. Teenieping, otherwise known as Catch! Teenieping, comes from a South Korean children’s show produced by SAMG Entertainment. LISA’s specific fixation? Heartsping or Diamond Heartsping, a loveable rabbit-like character from the kid’s show.
LISA posted a carousel of photos to her Instagram on Oct. 23, sharing snapshots taken backstage. Two of the many photos saw the “Money” singer snapping a mirror selfie with a Heartsping-themed removable phone grip attached to her colorful Takashi Murakami Louis Vuitton case. Since posting those photos, SAMG Entertainment’s stock price rose sharply, a clear indicator of LISA’s major influence.
According to Naver Pay Securities, as of 2:59 PM KST on Oct. 24, SAMG Entertainment was trading at 61,600 KRW (approx. $42.82), up 18.92% from the previous closing price of 51,800 KRW (approx. $36.01). The company’s stock even reached 64,900 (approx. $45.12), marking a 25.29% increase at one point. One thing is for certain: never underestimate the power of K-Pop idols.

If you don’t know what a Labubu is, let us catch you up to speed. The toothy figure was created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung. The figure made its first appearance back in 2015 in an art series titled The Monsters.
The Labubu has been around for some time, however, it didn’t make it big until way later in April of 2024 when Lisa was seen with one of the fluffy collectibles fixed to her Louis Vuitton bag. Since Lisa’s introduction, you’ve got everyone from Rihanna and Dua Lipa to Kim Kardashian, Rosé, David Beckham, Lizzo, Madonna, BTS, Cher and even Lady Gaga participating in the trend that is Labubu mania, affixing their blind box acquisitions to bags, keys and luggage. With help from Lisa, will Heartsping be the next Labubu? Only time will tell.
