Since the groups they stan encourage them towards the product, fans believe they can trust the product, thus, they purchase. Additionally, it’s one of fans’ ways of showing love and support for their faves. That’s why the presence of Kpop boy groups as beauty brand endorsers greatly benefits brands for sure; fame-wise and profit-wise, truly, brands get their money back but tripled or more.
