KUALA LUMPUR, 08 February 2024 – Charting new territories, Rexona announces a groundbreaking collaboration with K-pop powerhouse (G)I-DLE. This collaboration signifies Rexona’s commitment to merging deodorant product innovation with cultural resonance, making it not just about underarm brightening and freshness, but also about confidence and movement.
Leading the K-pop genre, (G)I-DLE goes beyond melodious rhythms and foot-tapping beats. Their ethos of challenging boundaries and limits echoes Rexona’s ‘not done yet’ spirit. Boasting a loyal fan base of over 12 million, their recent pinnacle achievement saw them top the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart.
“(G)I-DLE isn’t just about music; they are icons of determination, challenging norms and reshaping the K-pop landscape,” says Victor Hugo Jr, Rexona Global Brand Director & Market Development Lead for Deodorants Asia. “Our partnership represents more than just a collaboration; it’s a synergy of values – of pushing limits and striving for more. As (G)I-DLE breaks barriers in music, Rexona does the same in personal care, ensuring everyone feels fresh, confident, and unstoppable.”
Their collaboration with Rexona introduces the game-changing Vitamin+Bright deodorant range. Recognizing that 62% of young Asians have restricted how they move because of their underarms[1], this collaboration reflects a fusion of (G)I-DLE’s emblematic confidence and Rexona’s dedication to illuminating and empowering every individual. The innovative formula not only brightens underarm skin but also ensures 72-hour non-stop protection, enabling everyone to #GLOWFORIT. Infused with potent antioxidant vitamins, it stands as a pillar against underarm dark marks that impede confidence and movement. And with formats like Roll-on and Aerosols, it’s tailored to cater to diverse needs and every occasion.
Victor Jr. Hugo further adds, “Seeing K-pop as a unifying cultural force in Asia, Rexona’s strategic alliance is a deliberate move to resonate more deeply with our consumers, fostering genuine connections in a landscape shaped by K-music and non-stop movement. With the Vitamin Bright range, we’re not merely launching a product; we’re igniting a cultural movement. Collaborating with (G)I-DLE fortifies our mission to embolden many to embrace each day with zest, confidence, and to truly #GLOWFORIT. ”
