🔥 G-DRAGON’s ZOA Merch: 143 Items in Korea, Only 89 on the Singapore Store
📌 TL;DR
・ZO&FRIENDS is G-DRAGON’s own character IP: created with LINE FRIENDS (IPX). ZOA is modelled on his cat, Princess Zoa, and A&NE draws on the daisy — his signature motif.
・The site ships here, but doesn’t sell you everything: switch the store to Singapore and ZO&FRIENDS drops to 89 items; the Korean store has 143. That’s 38% Korea-only, and four of our five picks simply 404 on the Singapore storefront.
・Direct shipping is express: international orders go out by DHL from South Korea, charged per order by destination and weight — punishing for plushies, pyjamas and umbrellas, which are light but bulky.
・The better route: Buy for You orders on the Korean storefront for you. Forwarding from our Korea warehouse is S$9 for the first pound and S$7 per additional pound (plus S$1/lb fuel surcharge), and parcels consolidate.
If a grey-and-white cloud cat moving in slow motion has been filling your feed lately, that’s ZOA — the lead character of ZO&FRIENDS, the character IP G-DRAGON created with LINE FRIENDS (IPX). The project spent close to two years in development before its July 2025 launch, and the connection is personal: ZOA is modelled on G-DRAGON’s own cat, Princess Zoa, while A&NE draws on the daisy he has used as a signature for years. AKI, ZAKI and the rest round out a soft, fairy-tale world.
The merch is in demand here, but getting hold of all of it is harder than it looks. The official store, LINE FRIENDS SQUARE, does deliver to Singapore — the catch is that the Singapore storefront sells noticeably less than the Korean one, and international orders go out by DHL express, charged by weight.
Below we compare the two ways of buying, pick 5 items (four of which the Singapore storefront doesn’t carry at all), and walk through ordering with Buy for You.

Direct shipping vs Buy for You: what actually differs
Option 1: order direct — it works, but the range is cut down
To be clear up front: LINE FRIENDS SQUARE does ship to Singapore. The official Shipping Info page lists 201 countries and territories, with Singapore among the Asian destinations. This isn’t an article about a store that won’t sell to you.
There are two practical problems though. First, the Singapore storefront carries far less. Switching region at the top of the site changes the catalogue — and for ZO&FRIENDS the gap is wide:
| Storefront | ZO&FRIENDS items | Our 5 picks |
|---|---|---|
| Korea (대한민국 / KRW) | 143 | All 5 available |
| Singapore (싱가포르 / SGD) | 89 | Only 1 (Bluetooth microphone) |
Second, international orders go by DHL express. The store states that all international orders ship via DHL from South Korea, with shipping calculated per order by destination and product weight — there’s no published rate card, so you only see the figure at checkout. Express rates run higher than standard forwarding, and the most popular ZO&FRIENDS items are exactly the wrong shape for it: plushies, pyjama sets and umbrellas are light but bulky. On a small order, shipping can approach the value of the goods.
Option 2: Buy for You — Korean storefront prices, weight-based shipping
The alternative is to have us order as a Korean-storefront customer on your behalf:
- All 143 items are open to you — including the 54 the Singapore storefront never shows
- You pay the Korean listed price, in won
- Shipping is by weight and parcels consolidate — S$9 for the first pound, S$7 per additional pound from our Korea warehouse, plus a S$1/lb fuel surcharge. Buy several things and the per-item cost falls well below sending each one by express
📌 Said plainly: if you want one item and it’s on the Singapore storefront, just order it there — we’re not going to send you the long way round. Buy for You earns its keep when you want Korea-only items, or when you’re buying several things at once.
Shipping is charged per pound with part-pounds rounded up, and bulky items like plushies and pyjama sets may be charged on volumetric weight. The system shows the exact figure before you pay. Current rates are always on the pricing page.
5 ZO&FRIENDS picks
1. ZOA Signature Medium Plush (not on the SG storefront)
The face of the whole line, and the three-dimensional version of G-DRAGON’s cat. The Signature Edition is the everyday version, and the medium size sits well on a sofa, a bed or a desk — it’s the one that ends up in most photos. This page returns a 404 on the Singapore storefront; only Korea has it. If you’re buying a single ZO&FRIENDS piece, most people choose this one.
Korean store: ₩68,000 (about S$62) | Singapore store: not sold
2. ZOA LUCKY SHOP mint pyjama set (not on the SG storefront)
From the official LUCKY SHOP project line, built around the idea of “a little luck close to you”. The mint pyjama set is its standout piece and a limited-run project item — the category least likely to appear on international storefronts, and the one you’ll be waiting for a restock on if you miss it.
This one has size options, so state the size when you submit the request and check the measurements on the product page first.
Korean store: ₩108,000 (about S$98) | Singapore store: not sold
3. Signature folding umbrella (not on the SG storefront)
The practical pick from the Signature Edition. The official line about the series is that it “adds a small, precious point to an ordinary day”, which suits a compact umbrella — you’re going to keep one in your bag here anyway, so making it a character you like costs very little extra. Another one the Singapore storefront doesn’t carry.
Korean store: ₩38,000 (about S$35) | Singapore store: not sold
4. ZOA Signature figurine pen, blue (not on the SG storefront)
The lowest entry point here at ₩8,800 (about S$8). A three-dimensional ZOA sits on the cap, so it doubles as a small desk ornament. Cheap and light — shipping this on its own makes no sense, but tucked into a consolidated parcel it barely moves the weight, which makes it ideal for topping up an order or as a small gift. Also missing from the Singapore storefront.
Korean store: ₩8,800 (about S$8) | Singapore store: not sold
5. ZO&FRIENDS Bluetooth microphone (the only one the SG store also has)
The one item of the five available on both storefronts — good for singing, streaming or gifting. Said plainly: if this is all you want, ordering it on the Singapore storefront is more direct. The reason to put it in a Buy for You order is to send it together with the four Korea-only items above and share one shipment’s cost.
⚠️ Before buying electronics: standalone batteries are prohibited from all warehouses — loose dry cells, lithium cells and electronic components can’t be sent. Products with a built-in battery aren’t named in the prohibition, but check with customer service before ordering. See the prohibited items page for the full rules.
Korean store: ₩52,800 (about S$48) | Singapore store: available

What is ZO&FRIENDS, and how does G-DRAGON fit in?
ZO&FRIENDS (조앤프렌즈) is a character IP co-created by IPX — LINE FRIENDS’ parent company — and G-DRAGON, announced in July 2025 after close to two years of development. He was involved at every stage, which is why the characters map so directly onto him:
- ZOA (조아) — the lead, a cloud cat that moves in slow motion, modelled on G-DRAGON’s own cat, Princess Zoa
- A&NE (앤) — drawn from the daisy, the motif he has used for years
- AKI and ZAKI — rounding out the world alongside ZOA and A&NE
The whole IP leans soft and fairy-tale, described officially as reflecting G-DRAGON’s emotional depth and creativity. That’s much of why the merch moves so fast — you’re not just buying a cute plush, but a character with a direct line to him.
The product range is broad: plushies, stationery, umbrellas, apparel, homeware and electronics, plus recurring project lines such as the LUCKY SHOP mentioned above. Those project items usually run in limited quantities for a limited window and rarely reach international storefronts — the main reason so much of the range is Korea-only.
💡 One thing to do before you shop: set the region at the top of the site to 대한민국 (Korea) and browse from there — that’s the full 143. Browsing the Singapore storefront, you’ll assume some items are sold out when they were simply never listed here. Found something? Copy the page URL and send it to us.
FAQ
Q1: The site ships here — why would I use Buy for You?
A: Two reasons. First, you can’t buy the same things — the Korean storefront has 143 ZO&FRIENDS items, the Singapore one 89, so roughly 38% of the range never appears for you. Second, international orders go by DHL express, charged by destination and weight, which is expensive for bulky items like plushies and pyjama sets. If you want one item and it’s on the Singapore storefront, order it there — we’re not going to send you the long way round.
Q2: How do I tell whether an item is Korea-only?
A: Compare the two region settings. If a product page loads with the region set to 대한민국 (Korea) but 404s or can’t be found with it set to Singapore, it’s Korea-only. Project lines like LUCKY SHOP and limited-run items are the most likely to fall into this group.
Q3: I don’t read Korean — can I still order?
A: Yes. Find the item on the site, copy the page URL, and send it to us with the colour, size and quantity — no Korean needed. If the options are only in Korean, screenshot them or tell us “the third option from the top” and we’ll order to your instruction.
Q4: What will it cost in total?
A: Total = the item price in won + Korean domestic shipping + the Buy for You service fee + forwarding from Korea to Singapore. Forwarding is S$9 for the first pound and S$7 per additional pound with Buy&Ship Shipping, plus a S$1/lb fuel surcharge; UPS Shipping is priced differently. Part-pounds round up, and bulky items may be charged on volumetric weight. The system calculates the total before you pay. Current rates are on the pricing page.
Q5: How many items make it worthwhile?
A: Shipping is by weight, so buying several items and consolidating brings the per-item cost down sharply. A single low-value item isn’t worth it — that ₩8,800 figurine pen would carry a disproportionate share of the shipping on its own. The sweet spot is a few Korea-only pieces in one order, with the smaller things tucked in alongside.
