Will the “ARMY Impact” be definitely worth the value?
On December 20, 2023 (KST), the South Korean espresso model Compose Espresso introduced that, in celebration of their tenth launch anniversary, they signed with BTS‘s V for an endorsement.
In doing so, Compose Espresso notified all of its 2,400 franchise house owners throughout South Korea that the promoting funds can be collected from them.
In response to Compose Espresso franchise house owners, the model is charging the person franchise house owners ₩2.00 billion KRW (about $1.54 million USD) of the ₩6.00 billion KRW (about $4.62 million USD) endorsement payment—making them pay ₩72,000 KRW (about $55.40 USD) monthly for the following 12 months.
Whereas the headquarters is taking over the hefty two-thirds of the fee, at ₩4.00 billion KRW (about $3.08 million USD), franchise house owners are feeling burdened that the charges are extreme—in keeping with Perception.
It’s rather a lot. In complete, I’d need to put in about ₩1.00 million KRW (about $770 USD) and I don’t have that. I’d need to double gross sales to have the ability to afford sending in these charges. I don’t perceive the headquarters pushing their commercial charges onto the franchise house owners.

Alternatively, contradicting the experiences, some Compose Espresso franchise house owners have already seen a spike of their gross sales—because of the brand new ARMY clients. On-line posts have shared ARMYs ordering espresso from their native Compose Coffees and receiving handwritten notes of appreciation and even freebies from franchise house owners celebrating the endorsement.

Most imagine, particularly at ₩72,000 KRW (about $55.40 USD) a month, BTS V’s affect for the model will assist the franchise house owners past the preliminary concern over the charges.
- “I don’t doubt for a second that the franchise house owners will have the ability to scoop again the entire 12-months value of charges on the primary day that the advertisements drop.”
- “₩72,000 KRW (about $55.40 USD) monthly to have BTS’s V promote my franchise? I’d be so down.”
- “I imply, whereas V is endorsing the model, I’ll be ingesting Compose Espresso as usually as attainable. So…”
- “Give it half a day, and V will make up for the yr’s value of endorsement charges being pushed on them.”
- “I noticed the brand new strawberry menu devoted to V. I can’t wait to strive it.”
Within the meantime, Compose Espresso did verify that the endorsement passed off solely after the franchise house owners have been surveyed and 75% of them voted to convey BTS’s V on board.
