It’s not often that a K-Pop idol would treat fans, but it’s even more rare that it happened to fans outside of South Korea. Recently, TREASURE (트레저) member Haruto (하루토) surprised fans in Southeast Asia by treating them to free ZUS coffees!
On 21st June 2026 (Sunday), Haruto took to the fan communication app Weverse to share an update about a promise he previously made. Earlier this month, the idol promised fans that he would treat them to free coffee if TREASURE won first place on a music show for their recent comeback, “IF I”. Sure enough, the group won first place on Mnet’s “M Countdown” on 11th June 2026 (Thursday).
As such, Haruto kept his promise and announced that he’s holding a special event for fans to redeem their free drinks. The event will take place in Seoul on 25th June 2026 (Thursday), with 400 drinks up for grabs, including coffee and non-caffeine options. More surprisingly, Haruto announced that fans outside of Seoul will also get a chance to redeem a free drink, courtesy of Malaysia’s very own ZUS Coffee.
As a show of love for the TREASURE Makers (TREASURE fans) in Southeast Asia, the idol shared that fans from Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia can also redeem a free drink from ZUS using a special voucher code. The code is limited to one cup per person and only 100 cups per country. ZUS later confirmed the voucher’s legitimacy, noting that the code is also limited to a specific drink.
Despite the redemption period beginning today (Monday, 22nd June 2026), many fans noted that the voucher has been fully redeemed. Many of the lucky TEUMEs have also taken to social media to post about the free drink they got from Haruto and to thank the idol for his generosity. Meanwhile, those who weren’t able to redeem still bought drinks from the Malaysian drink chain, but joked they’ll “submit a claim” with Haruto.
In case you’re wondering why Haruto decided to partner with ZUS for this special giveaway, it’s likely because the chain has multiple outlets across Southeast Asia, making it easy for fans to redeem their drinks. Additionally, the TREASURE members personally enjoy ZUS coffees. During their recent visit to Kuala Lumpur for their Asia tour, Haruto, Hyunsuk and Yoshi visited the brand’s Pasar Seni outlet.
Understandably, local TEUMEs are now urging ZUS to consider appointing TREASURE as brand ambassador, noting the free promotion the group is giving the brand, especially with this region-wide giveaway. While there’s no news on that yet, we have to give kudos to Haruto for keeping his promise and for supporting a local brand.
