On Oct. 6, 2017, Pepero boxes with the faces of band members from Korean group EXO printed on them were spotted and put on Twitter:

Background info: EXO is one of the more prominent bands in the K-pop scene (their first album sold over one million copies, making them the best-selling Korean artist in 12 years), and Pepero is like Pocky's hot older brother.
But the EXO Pepero, which comes in Almond, White Cookie, and Original versions, is not a common sight in Singapore. In fact, most supermarkets do not sell them, from what we hear.
The ones above were found at East Point Mall's NTUC at Simei, and cost S$3.95 for four boxes.
Another place known to sell them is Plaza Singapura's Cold Storage.

However, these limited edition boxes are in collaboration for a Pepero Day contest, which only runs from Sept. 18 to Nov. 11.
If you're interested in taking part, find out more here.
Otherwise, you can just hug the boxes to sleep or something.
