SAMG Entertainment brings “Catch! Teenieping” to Jeonbuk Hyundai home matches

SAMG Entertainment is taking Catch! Teenieping beyond the screen and into the stadium, teaming up with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC for two special home matches in September.

The Sept. 12 and 20 fixtures at Jeonju World Cup Stadium will be held as “Teenieping Collab Day,” bringing characters from the popular animated franchise into the match-day atmosphere. Dianaping from Catch! Teenieping Season 6 will appear alongside Jeonbuk Hyundai’s mascot, while fans can take part in a range of activities, including a “Make Your Own Player Placard” using Dianaping stickers, meet-and-greets with Heartsping and Twinkleping, a giant Heartsping balloon and photo zones.

The partnership also brings Catch! Teenieping into the world of football merchandise. Limited-edition items include jerseys and marking kits, plush headbands, cheer towels, gym sacks, acrylic keyrings and shaker keyrings.

The merchandise will be available from 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 12 at a pop-up shop at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. Special jerseys purchased through the online pre-order will be available for collection at the stadium on Sept. 20, while online sales will open on Sept. 21 through Jeonbuk Hyundai’s official online store.

The Jeonbuk Hyundai collaboration follows a series of projects that have brought Catch! Teenieping into different parts of everyday culture. Alongside its animated series and feature films, the franchise has been presented through musicals and branded stores, while recent partnerships with professional sports teams have brought the characters into stadiums and closer to sports audiences. Following its collaboration with KBO club KIA Tigers, SAMG Entertainment has worked with five K League clubs since May—Ulsan HD FC, Jeju SK FC, Yongin FC, Gangwon FC and FC Anyang—and now adds Jeonbuk Hyundai to the lineup.

A SAMG Entertainment representative said, “We’re continuing to explore different ways for fans to experience our IPs, including Catch! Teenieping, across culture and content. By working with partners in different fields, we hope to create moments that feel natural to each audience and give both longtime fans and new audiences more opportunities to encounter the world of Catch! Teenieping.”
