K-pop fans always straddle the line between being the best and worst fans in the world. But where this latest bit of fandom falls, we’re not entirely sure.
The latest product to trend among netizens is an ice cube tray with molds shaped like the nose and lips of Big Bang’s Daesung. Yes, it’s official merchandise, and it has been appropriately deemed as “Ice! Nose Lips,” a pun on Taeyang’s song “Eyes, Nose, Lips.”
Daesung apparently spent 15 minutes making a silicone cast of his face. The product, a bright-yellow flexible ice cube tray, carries only two of his features—nose and lips. There may or may not have been a few cosmetic adjustments to make the nose and lips more… prominent.

The ice cubes are kind of funny, but leave it to K-pop fans to take this product above and beyond its normal parameters. Just imagine what they could do with a 3D printer. Check out what these creative/crazy individuals came up with below.
