About Us

Welcome to Noona’s Kpop Goods — a cozy little fandom shop run out of sunny Florida, powered by playlists, caffeine, and way too many tabs open.

I’m Courtney, a single mom, K-pop fan, gamer, and designer behind everything you see here. This shop is my creative outlet and a way to help make ends meet, so every order genuinely matters.

Meet the Noona Behind the Shop

If you’re new to the term: noona is what younger guys call an older sister or older female friend in Korean. That’s the vibe I want this shop to have — like your slightly older fandom friend who:

  • Gets why you’re obsessed with your bias

  • Understands the need for “just one more” K-pop hoodie

  • Won’t judge you for having a shrine-like desk setup

Behind the scenes, it’s just me, my kid, and my fur child keeping me company while I design:

  • K-pop–inspired apparel and hoodies

  • Fandom mugs, blankets, and mousepads

  • Meme and viral-style designs

  • Video game and general pop culture merch

If it’s in the shop, it’s something I’m actually a fan of. I don’t make designs for groups, games, or shows I don’t care about. That’s non-negotiable.

What You’ll Find at Noona’s Kpop Goods

This is a fandom-first, comfort-obsessed, slightly chaotic kind of shop. You’ll find:

  • K-pop apparel & hoodies – bias-coded tees, lyric-inspired designs, and comfy tops that work for concerts, Walmart runs, and everything in between, for Stray Kids, Ateez, Katseye, and more

  • Mugs & drinkware – for comeback countdown coffee, study sessions, and “I survived another tour announcement” tea

  • Blankets & cozy stuff – soft, snuggly pieces for streaming performances or gaming marathons

  • Mousepads & desk gear – because your setup deserves to be as extra as your playlists

  • Video game & pop culture items – gamer-inspired designs and fandom references that only the right people will recognize

  • Meme & viral designs – inside jokes, reaction energy, and “if you know, you know” prints

I aim for that sweet spot: subtle enough to wear anywhere, obvious enough for other fans to notice.

Inclusive, Queer-Friendly, No-Nonsense Fandom Space

This shop is intentionally inclusive. I don’t design anything tied to conservative politics, hate, or exclusion. Full stop.

Whether you’re LGBTQ+, straight, questioning, introverted, loud, neurospicy, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here. Fandom should feel like a safe, fun place to exist as yourself.

On top of that, I care a lot about size inclusivity:

  • I offer the widest size range my print partners allow

  • I never charge more for larger sizes of clothing

You deserve cool fandom merch without being punished for your size.

How Everything Is Made

All products at Noona’s Kpop Goods are print-on-demand. That means:

  • Your order is made just for you after you purchase

  • There’s less waste than bulk-printing huge stock that may never get used

  • I can experiment with more designs, colors, and ideas without drowning in boxes

I work with professional print partners who handle the printing, production, and shipping. I handle the designs, the listing details, the late-night revisions, and the quality of what gets approved to go in the shop.

Custom & Personalized Designs

One of my favorite parts of running this shop is helping people bring specific ideas to life.

Most designs can be:

  • Personalized – names, dates, inside joke text, bias name changes, colors, etc.

  • Customized – you want a design on a hoodie instead of a tee? Different layout? Slight tweak for your friend group or guild? I can usually make that happen.

I’m also happy to create fully custom products:

  • Gifts for your K-pop bestie

  • Matching crew designs for concerts

  • Gamer squad or guild merch

  • Inside jokes for your friend group or Discord server

If you’re not sure whether something’s possible, ask. The worst that happens is I say no; the best is we make something really cool together.

Why I Started This Shop

Noona’s Kpop Goods started from a pretty simple place:
I needed a way to support my family that didn’t completely drain me, and I wanted to do something creative that actually felt like me.

I already spent my free time:

  • Watching K-pop stages and comeback teasers

  • Playing games and scrolling through fandom memes

  • Thinking, “This line would look amazing on a hoodie”

So instead of ignoring that, I turned it into a shop. This business helps cover real-life bills, but it also gives me space to play with design, color, and fan energy in a way that feels satisfying instead of soul-sucking.

Thank You for Supporting a Small Fandom Business

When you buy from Noona’s Kpop Goods, you’re not just grabbing another random shirt or mug from a giant marketplace. You’re supporting:

  • A real single mom doing this between school schedules, work, and life

  • A fan who actually understands why you care about these groups and games

  • A small shop that listens, adjusts, and grows based on real customer feedback

Every order, review, share, or message genuinely makes a difference here.

Let’s Build Your Fandom Collection

Whether you’re:

  • Hunting for the perfect K-pop gift

  • Trying to make your desk or couch a little more “you”

  • Or plotting matching designs for your friend group or gaming crew

I’m glad you found your way to Noona’s Kpop Goods.
