Make a k-pop themed cupsleeve and/or bring your own crafts to work on! Cupsleeves and stickers will be provided. What is this cupsleeve thing? It’s a sleeve that originated from the sleeve you put around your coffee cup to protect your hand from the heat of the cup of hot coffee. In the world of k-pop, people make decorative cupsleeves to collect, with pictures of their favorite groups/singers on them. We will be listening to k-pop during this event, mostly BTS since BTS will be discharged from the Korean military during the month. Note: top picture is an EXAMPLE of a k-pop cupsleeve.
