Hallyu (한류 in korean) means "The Korean Wave".
It refers to the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s.
With this set, I wanted to pay a tribute to Korea's pop culture through :
_ hangul sublegends
_ the bright colors on a darker background to symbolise night life and party spirit, and to represent the wave with the gradient
_ different icons : each one represents one aspect of Korea and its pop culture : korean cinema and k-drama (clapperboard icon) / food (bimbap bowl icon) / k-pop music (finger heart icon) / korean alcoholic drink (bottle of soju icon) / korean beauty, skincare and makeup (eyelash icon).

100% in, but i wanted to ask, the purple is always a touchy question when it comes to color matching, have you visioned the color to be the same as in renders or it will be a bit darker? Regardles of the answer, been waiting for really long to finally jump into this.

My bad, the prices are ok but I didn't put the prices of zFrontier in USD in the post, only the price in USD of Cannonkeys, they are not the same. The first post has been updated!

Bought the full kit the moment they dropped on switchkeys. So excited!

Absolutely stunning

"Pulling the plug" means preventing something from happening or shutting something down. It's a reference to what happens to an electronic device when you pull its power plug out of the power socket. In your case it would mean you decided not to get the keycaps.

Pulling the trigger would be the correct phrase

Joined for two sets! I can't wait--this is one of my favorite sets ever.
-
Wasn’t intending to join the set since I had too many GBs that I am interested in joining for November but the colours for Hallyu are too nice for me to let it pass. So a base and a rose Rama for me! Hopefully the colour matching and the production goes well. So excited for this!
-
just joined :thumb:
-
I just joined through Desk Hero! So excited.
It's going to be my first ever group buy and also first ever key cap set.
Brand new to MKBs. I've only ever really used a stock Ducky One 2 Mini before this.
I also ordered Zeal Sakurio switches and preordered the Glorious GMMK Pro.
Anyone know if this key cap set will be compatible with those??

Yup the keycaps should be good with the switches and the Glorious GMMK Pro.
Since it's your first build, remember to clip and lube your stabilizers for a much better experience.

It's certainly up there, but it's not the record-holder. For example:
GMK Minimal 2: RAMA Black X = 1075
GMK Pono: RAMA Dark Grey = 1398
GMK Sumi: RAMA Torii = 1640
But 1003 is without extras. We'll have to see how it does with extras.

do you mind sharing the color codes?
-
do you mind sharing the color codes?
For now, the RAL color codes are :
base kit : 290 30 20 (careful because on screen it looks wayyy lighter than it looks irl on the printed RAL color swatch, so I'll make sure that the final color looks like the render when i'll get samples from gmk !)
R1/ R4 (blue) legends : 270 70 25 knabenblau
R2 legends : 040 60 60 korallenorange
R3 legends : 050 80 30 fahlorange
R4 (yellow) legends : 080 80 60 vollgelb
I'm now waiting for samples to adjust if needed :)
-
So glad I joined this!
I need to find a suitable board for this. The color scheme is not like anything I've seen. All the purple kits are either too light (lilac) or barney purple.
-
Gah, i just found out about this keyset. Missed out on the gb. Hopefully i can grab a set with the extras. How does selling the extras work? Is it like a raffle system or a fcfs basis?

Fcfs, as in-stock item or pre-order, on whichever store bought extras. There’s usually not much pizzazz around the selling of extras, so you have to keep your eyes open around the time the keysets start shipping.

Nice :cool:

Regret not joining the GB.. :(

any update w/ space cables?
edit: just saw the cable was canceled :O bit of a bummer, but still excited for this nonetheless

hello, any updates on how the production's going? thanks!

Some of the vendors post updates on their websites and discord servers. If you’re not aware there’s usually not much to report on during keycap production.

Can you point me to where you've seen updates? I checked cannon keys where I ordered and didn't see anything beyond what's in the thread.
Bidulomachin hasn't posted here since December. There's more news than nothing. Are samples/colors approved? GMK is backed up, is Q3 still real?
-
Q3 this year? Lol no. They still haven’t shipped Modo light from March 2020, and they’re gonna get all the way to November in the next 3 months? I’d be surprised if this was in end users hands in the USA this year.
Edit: just got the Omni update. Modo light has shipped. GMK Modo 2 which ran last June is now for this November. This won’t even be Q1 2022.
-
At this point GMK need to step up and stop taking new orders until they work through the backlog - it's getting ridiculous.

Bidulomachin posted on their Instagram stories having received color samples last month or so, they mentioned that color sampling is done, so it’s just waiting for production now.

Yeah, they don't seem to be slowing down on taking in orders while everything in the last 12 months keeps getting pushed further and further. Seems like the average wait from a groupbuy close to customer hands is reaching 1.5 years at this point.
-
1.5 years is really becoming a standart time for GMK, and its only gonna be worse, more sets, more time, worse qc, i have already gave up on seeing this set this year.
From now on only extras and nothing else. I think its ok to wait for a keyboard for 1.5-2 years if its needed, but not for a keycap set. GMK needs to fix their backlog.

Just a quick heads up, this set is up for preorder on cannonkeys right now for those of you who missed out on the gb. The preorders are the extras.

Little update!
I'm sorry for those asking for news here, I'm more present on my instagram account @Bidulomachin and posting updates there, you can find all the updates on the "updates" highlight. Feel also free to DM me there for any request! I'm not very used to post here but I'll try to improve that.
To let you know about how the set is going:
> Samples are validated. Here are the final RAL color codes:
BASE COLOR: 280 30 15
YELLOW: 080 80 60
PINK: 050 80 30
ORANGE: 040 60 60
BLUE: 270 70 25
> I just got GMK's renders for approuval yesterday
> At the moment, Cannonkeys is offering extras.
I don't have any other infos about when the other vendors will offer their extras, I suggest you to check their websites or ask them directly
> The collab with spacecable was cancelled due to lead time issues, but I'm currently working on a cable with another vendor, I'll let you know about that when there will be more news.
> Some RAMAs have been shipped, you can find irl pictures on my instagram in the update highlight section !
> Concerning ETA: I will probably have more infos when the GMK render will be approuved.
Thanks for your interest.

Appreciate the update! For clarity, "samples validated" refers to colors being matched and approved?

Likely Rama caps or a deskmat if you ordered them standalone.

Just got my purple deskmat from Cannonkeys and I love the quality!
Bidulomachin: Any chance that you'll release wallpaper images of the deskmat design so that we can have a matching theme? Thanks for the awesome group buy! Can't wait for my keycap set to get here.

Want to ask if the additional Shift size is 2u or 2.25u?

wonder if this set still has plans to ship out near the end of this month. hopefully so!

Is there any good way to get an update when it actually ships? I assume we're at the mercy of the vendors or the original creator.

pretty sure it's out of the creator's hands now since color matching was completed a while ago, so at the mercy of when GMK ships it out, and then at your local vendor.
that being said, Cannon Key's last update was that they were supposed to receive the keycaps late March and that is upon us... and the lack of anyone in the EU showing the caps, seems like that timeline might be pushed back.
-
Hi everyone !
I’m currently trying to figure out the ETA since it was not sent on the 23rd of March.
It would apparently be rescheduled for mid April!
This is indeed out of my control, but I hope this will be the final ETA now !
-
Just saw the IG story, it looks like its on the way ;D
Also been confirmed by Deskhero that Hallyu is expected to come in next.
-
just saw on cannonkeys that gmk has finally shipped to them, cant wait to finally get my hands on these!

Imagine my luck that I just recently got into keyboards last week. I fell in love with this keycap set the moment I saw them and was able to find an extra Base kit (yay!) but can't find any vendor with extra Soul Nights kit or any of the Brass keycaps. Such is life in this hobby it seems but I am happy with the base kit so all good. Hope everyone enjoys theirs!

First of all, welcome to the hobby! I hope you enjoy your time here. Check out SwitchKeys. They have the Seoul Nights novelties kit in stock. No luck on the brass Rama though. I hope this helps!
