Higround, the lifestyle and gaming peripheral brand, is thrilled to announce its groundbreaking collaboration with the global K-pop sensation, AESPA. This partnership marks Higround’s first-ever K-pop collaboration, celebrating the dynamic intersection of music and gaming culture.
This pivotal drop is a cultural event speaking directly to an audience that values aesthetics, innovation, and self-expression. Given the shared community between K-pop fans and gamers, Higround is proud to be the first to create a product line that lives directly in this intersection, bringing Aespa’s iconic and compelling aesthetic to the desktop.
“This collaboration with Aespa is a monumental moment for Higround. We’ve always been about fusing culture with gaming, and K-pop has always been one of the most powerful global forces. Partnering with Aespa, whose music and aesthetic are truly iconic, allowed us to merge our design vision with theirs, creating a truly unified aesthetic. We know a huge overlap exists between K-pop fans and gamers, and we’re proud to be the first to deliver a beautiful, high-quality product that perfectly captures the energy at the direct intersection of these two worlds. Additionally, I’m personally a huge fan of Aespa so this collaboration was a no-brainer.” – Sam Adams, Marketing Manager for Higround.
