Among today’s youth, the simplest acts of friendship foster the deepest sense of connection. Embracing this spirit of togetherness, Luckin Coffee Malaysia is proud to announce its latest collaboration with the beloved homegrown cartoon IP, Bear Boss Buddies, themed “Escape into Grape Fantasy”. Launched today, the collaboration celebrates the joy of shared experiences and moments through a curated selection of grape and cherry blossom-inspired beverage series.
Born from the creative vision of founder Dylan Ang, Bear Boss Buddies first shone on the global stage while carrying a distinct local essence and showcasing a uniquely Malaysian sense of friendship through its characters. This partnership highlights the unique bond between the three main characters: Bear Boss, with his classic ‘boss’ charisma; Mao, the brains of the family member; and the ultra-chill Capybara. Together, they are set to take over Luckin Coffee’s May calendar with their signature brand of friendship.
Dr. Jeff Lim Chee Lip, CEO of Luckin Coffee Malaysia said, “Staying on the pulse of Gen Z while embracing the local culture is always at our heart. We saw how deeply Dylan’s Bear Boss Buddies values friendship and authentic local creativity, which made our collaboration a natural choice. Also, we hope to remind everyone that every connection can be carried through a simple cup of coffee,”
“We have always been spreading positivity and a sense of belonging through Bear Boss Buddies. Partnering with Luckin Coffee Malaysia allows us to bring our characters into the daily rituals of Malaysians, creating meaningful experiences that showcase local creativity and spark deeper connections through friendship,” said Dylan Ang, founder of Bear Boss Buddies.
