In their latest global campaign, 'Sunlight is Your Spotlight,' Bioré UV partners with powerhouse K-pop group Stray Kids to highlight the importance of proper sun care while celebrating outdoor living.

Launching in April 2025 across over 15 countries, including the U.S. and U.K., the campaign spotlights Bioré UV’s lightweight, hydrating sunscreens, designed for long-lasting protection without compromising comfort. Known for their creativity and unstoppable global influence, Stray Kids -- with over 31 million [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purepeak) followers -- are the perfect ambassadors to spread Bioré’s sun-smart message.

'We’re thrilled to welcome Stray Kids as the faces of our new sun care campaign,' said Mitsutoshi Kamiya, VP of [Health Beauty Care](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-flask) at Kao Corporation. 'Their energy and global appeal align perfectly with Bioré UV’s mission to inspire confidence under the sun.'
