If you aren’t familiar with these characters, LINE FRIENDS are extremely popular in South Korea after they were invented by local designer Kang Byeong Mok, as stickers for the LINE mobile messenger app. As for BT21, they were created as part of a 2017 collaboration project between South Korean boy band BTS, and LINE FRIENDS.
The menu at My Little Buddy Cafe has been specially designed in collaboration with local bento artist Shirley Wong, AKA @littmissbento on Instagram. As with all Kumoya pop-ups, the food here is prepared with halal-certified ingredients.

It is served with fresh salad and French fries, too. If you prefer, you can request for a plant-based patty instead.
