ARrC Teams Up with ‘Karafuru’ for a Special Collaboration Ahead of Comeback

ARrC (Andy, Choi Han, Doha, Hyunmin, Jibin, Kkien, and Rioto) is set to unveil a unique collaboration as they gear up for their comeback.

The group has announced a strategic partnership with Karafuru, a popular Indonesian character IP and one of the global Top 20 NFT IPs, drawing significant attention. The collaboration centers around the theme of “HOPE”, aligning with the message of ARrC’s upcoming 3rd mini album HOPE, which is scheduled to be released on July 16. Through this partnership, ARrC and the colorful Karafuru characters will roll out various projects aimed at spreading hope and positivity. Just as ARrC’s multinational members unite through music to sing of hope, Karafuru’s diverse characters express positive energy in their own vibrant styles.

The group has also released a video via their official social media channels announcing the collaboration. The video features a character symbolizing ARrC alongside one representing Karafuru, sharing news of the partnership. The characters, illustrated in Karafuru’s signature art style, give off a unique and playful charm, heightening curiosity and excitement about the project.

Since their debut, ARrC has embraced the meaning behind their name, "Always Remember the real Connection", making “connection” a core value. Using music as a universal language, they’ve been actively communicating with fans around the world, earning widespread love and support. From their debut EP AR^C to their recent release nu kidz: out the box, ARrC has consistently carried the message of connection. In the track “connected”, they sing, “we're connected / even if we can't see it, we can feel it / anytime, anywhere”, conveying the deep meaning of true connection that transcends physical distance.
