Set to deliver more zest and joy to the region, Southeast Asia’s leading eCommerce platform Lazada is welcoming leading K-pop superstars SEVENTEEN as its first regional Happiness Ambassadors ahead of its annual flagship 11.11 Shopping Festival—Lazada’s Biggest One Day Sale, starting at midnight on 11 November.
Comprised of 13 members, SEVENTEEN, one of South Korea’s most acclaimed K-pop groups, burst into the international music scene with their creative musical experimentation and electrifying performance acts. SEVENTEEN’s latest EP Your Choice debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart, and their list of accolades includes being nominated for Top Social Artists at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and winning the Main Prize for four years at the Seoul Music Awards.
Raymond Yang, Chief Operating Officer of Lazada Group, said, “It is my great delight to welcome our first-ever Lazada Happiness Ambassadors, SEVENTEEN, to the Lazada family. With their talent and lively personalities, I hope SEVENTEEN can inspire our consumers across Southeast Asia to stay bold and passionate in experimenting with new ideas and to continue pursuing goals and dreams with the trust that challenges along the way can be overcome.“
At Lazada’s signature 11.11 Super Show on 10 November, SEVENTEEN will take the main stage to perform their hit songs like “Left & Right” and “Ready to love”. The star-studded countdown Shoppertainment-packed virtual concert to 11.11 will also feature top local celebrities in Southeast Asia coming together to celebrate hope and joy. Appearances will include Agnez Mo, Tiara Andini, Via Vallen from Indonesia; Nora Danish and Dayang Nurfaizah from Malaysia; Alden Richards, Bea Alonzo, and Maine Mendoza from the Philippines; Wang Lei, Jasper Lai and Chief Discount Officer Royce Lee from Singapore; Bright Vachirawit and Win Metawin; Billkin Putthipong – PP Krit and JJ Kritsanaphum from Thailand; and Tran Thanh and Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc from Vietnam. Across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, shoppers can tune in to Lazada’s 11.11 Super Party concert via Lazada’s in-app Livestream channel LazLive, as well as local broadcasting network GMA Network, and Lazada Philippines’ Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube pages.
The 13-member K-pop group also stars in Lazada’s latest 11.11 short film, which transports the Lazada Happiness Ambassadors into Lazada World, a dynamic and fantastical realm filled with larger-than-life everyday objects and exclusive 11.11 rewards. Playfully dancing along to a special rendition of the global hit song “Low” by Flo Rida, SEVENTEEN embarks on an adventure filled with surprising discoveries at every turn.
“Shooting Lazada’s 11.11 film was a fun and refreshing experience, and we are excited to be a part of the upcoming Lazada 11.11 Super Show. As the regional Happiness Ambassadors for Southeast Asia’s leading eCommerce platform Lazada, we look forward to creating even more meaningful experiences with everyone. Please continue to show support and love for Lazada and SEVENTEEN,” the K-pop group said.
In the Lazada 11.11 short film, Lazada’s pioneer brand ambassador and beloved mascot, Lazzie, makes a special cameo dancing the iconic shuffle moves alongside SEVENTEEN, sporting a new, refreshed look with blue and purple hues for their mane and an adorable snout in the shape of Lazada’s iconic heart-gram
Lazada will also launch a region-wide TikTok Hashtag Challenge, inviting consumers to join in a fun and creative showcase by curating their own version of the shuffle dance moves from Lazada’s 11.11 film in a freestyle 20-second TikTok dance video. A total of 11 participants with the most creative dance moves stand to win an iPhone 12 ProMax, a 65-inch Devant TV, a PS5, or Lazada vouchers when they join the social media challenge happening from October 26 to November 11 via the hashtag #LazadaPHLowLow.

Leveraging our strong Shoppertainment approach and working closely with our merchants to curate unbeatable promotions and rewards, we constantly challenge ourselves to deliver high impact and find meaningful ways to uplift the communities across Southeast Asia. I’m excited to celebrate another edition of our flagship 11.11 shopping festival as we pursue hope, dreams, and progress in all aspects of our lives.“
