Shinhan Card × JYP, Fandom Check Cards 'Stray Kids · ITZY' Released View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Shinhan Card announced on the 24th that it has launched two additional types of the 'Shinhan Card JYP Fans EDM Check Card' in collaboration with JYP Entertainment. Following the existing four types including DAY6 and TWICE, the newly released products feature Stray Kids and ITZY, two next-generation K-pop idols garnering attention.


The JYP check card's most notable feature is that a certain percentage of the payment amount at domestic and international merchants is accumulated as a donation to enable the positive influence of fandoms to circulate. The donation is made in the name of JYP artists and fandoms to the international non-profit organization Make A Wish KOREA. This amount will be used for the EDM (Every Dream Matters!) project, which fulfills the dreams of children with incurable diseases.


Since the card is designed for fans, it includes benefits related to concerts and streaming. When purchasing tickets for domestic concerts and performances through YES24, 5% of the payment amount is refunded as cashback, and 5% cashback (once a month, up to 5,000 KRW) is given on fan club membership fees through the same channel. Additionally, on Melon and FLO, 5% cashback (once a month combined, up to 5,000 KRW) is provided on music purchases and streaming usage. However, payments made via the Apple App Store or through the AI service NUGU are excluded from cashback.


Furthermore, for fandoms mainly composed of people in their teens and twenties, services such as 5% cashback on purchases over 10,000 KRW at Olive Young and GS25 (once daily combined, three times a month, up to 2,000 KRW per transaction) and 3% cashback on public transportation fares (up to 3,000 KRW per month) are also offered. There is no annual fee for the JYP check card.


Meanwhile, to commemorate the additional release of JYP check card artists, Shinhan Card is holding various events. Until the 30th of next month, the first 10,000 new cardholders per artist will receive an exclusive photo card on a first-come, first-served basis. Also, among customers who use the card at least once during the event period, 1,000 per artist will be given 5,000 My Shinhan Points on a first-come, first-served basis, and 60 of them will be selected by lottery to receive a CD autographed by the artist.



A Shinhan Card official said, "Shinhan Card and JYP have launched the JYP check card to support fandoms who want to share the positive influence of artists," adding, "We will continue to provide differentiated benefits by reflecting not only card products but also various additional services for fans and fandom culture into our card business."
