Lotte will launch a new service at noon on July 29 that turns uploaded face photos into Bikkuriman-style original AI characters for ordering items like business cards, T-shirts, and acrylic keychains.

The offering is a second installment following the positive response to Lotte’s previous AI business card project, expanding AI-generated image use into merchandise.

It also includes a limited premium plan, highlighting the company’s push to combine a popular IP with consumer-facing generative AI products.
