Marketing Market: Under Armour partners with K-pop group BoyNextDoor
Under Armour named six-member K-pop boy band BoyNextDoor as global brand ambassadors to support a regional rollout of its Bouncy Tee across Asia-Pacific. The collaboration is part of Under Armour’s 'Commit' campaign, which emphasizes ongoing motivation and authentic self-expression. The partnership includes a group campaign film plus individual films and visuals for members Sungho, Riwoo, Myung Jaehyun, Taesan, Leehan and Woonhak. The $65 Bouncy Tee launched in May and Under Armour has said it plans to invest about $30 million in additional marketing this year as it pursues a broader brand shift toward entertainment-facing partners and a stronger foothold in APAC, which accounted for roughly one-third of the company’s international revenue in 2026.
Company-level brand partnership focused on APAC marketing and product rollout; relevant for regional media buys and brand strategy but not industry-shifting.
