Has BLACKPINK‘s Lisa moved on from Labubus? At the very least, it seems like her latest fixation is on Monchhichis.
The K-pop star shared a post on her Instagram today, Sept. 4, accompanied by the caption, “Some sleepless nights.” The post featured a short and sweet carousel of photos of the “Money” singer in Japan, grabbing sushi and showing off her outfit. What drew us to the post, beyond Lisa’s obvious sense of style, was her bag charm.
While Lisa is clearly a lover of Labubus (she basically started the craze), the Thai star was seen swapping out the monster doll for a fluffier Monchhichi keychain. The vibrant yellow doll was fixed to what looked like a Louis Vuitton P9 series bag in red with tan straps and monogrammed detailing throughout. The Monchhichi charm is the Sweet Lollipop Girl model in yellow with little pigtails and a colorful bib. You’ll likely be able to snag your own via Monchhichi’s website or through eBay.

You may be reading this, thinking to yourself, “What’s a Monchhichi?” We’re glad you asked. The plushie is from Japan and was originally created by the Sekiguchi Corporation back in 1974 so they’ve been around way longer than Labubus. The design is meant to look like a monkey, equipped with a tail, ears and a pacifier. The body is often made of soft faux-fur, while the face, hands and feet are made of plastic. The peculiar name Monchhichi is an amalgamation of the French word ‘mon,’ or ‘mine,’ and the Japanese onomatopoeia ‘chichi,’ which mimics the sound of a baby sucking a pacifier—hence the attached pacifier.
To help you dip your toes into the wonderful world of Monchhichi, we’ve compiled a couple of options for you to browse from Urban Outfitters. The retailer stocks plushies and keychains of the monkey dolls, similar to Lisa’s own, ranging in price from $24 to $55. UO also features a slew of Monchhichi-themed merchandise from quilted laptop cases and clocks to books and pins. They’ve even got a collaborative Monchhichi x Hello Kitty plushie and keychain, depicting Hello Kitty in Monchhichi-esque garb. So stinkin’ cute.

If you really want to get into the Monchhichi lore, you’ll also have to know about Bebichhichis. Similar to their larger counterparts, these dolls are monkeys too. They’re baby Monchhichis, which are a pretty major part of the iconic Monchhichi toy family. The cutesy iteration was introduced during the Monchhichi series’ 30th anniversary.
