BTS is a Korean idol group who in 2017, created some character designs in collaboration with Line.

Uniqlo then teamed up with them to create a few shirts based on these characters.

Here's how the T-shirts look:

They released the collection today, June 21, 2019.

If you're wondering how the queue looked in the morning, here it is:

In fact, the premonition of queues were already evident from June 20, 2019.

And a major reason for the dedicated but not that massive queue was Uniqlo's guidelines.

Only one piece per UT design and colour.

Which would deter opportunistic scalpers.

And the way in which they apparently streamlined people in was quite ingenious as well.

"I'm at Uniqlo for the BT21 shirts & there's a damn queue lol they've shut down the whole store & are only letting 10 people at a time."

Which probably prevented scenes such as this.

And bonus aside, there doesn't appear to be scalpers touting too overpriced a ware.

All in all, not bad.
