In November, bibigo™ surprised grocery shoppers in Los Angeles with a custom karaoke machine disguised in the self-checkout aisle. A video shared on social media featured customers belting out the catchy bibigo™ song and earning their free products. To make sure everyone can rise to the occasion, the brand is bringing their machine to the digital space through the TikTok filter named bibigo™ Checkout Karaoke. On top of being a tempting proposition, it is an invitation for the world to celebrate three staples of Korean culture: karaoke, dumplings and K-pop.

“We’re passionate about the power that food has to connect people around the globe and we believe this is a fun way to celebrate some of the most authentic aspects of Korean culture,” said Megan Elliott, Marketing Director at Schwan’s Company, a U.S.-based affiliate of CJ CheilJedang. “Korean food and karaoke have a special place in our hearts and we want to pass the mic to all of those who share those passions too. We’re not looking for the best singers. We want people who share our passion to ‘live delicious’ through food, friends and fun.”

To participate, people are invited to share their performance on TikTok for a chance to win one of two prizes. For this sweepstakes, there will be up to one (1) Grand Prize winner and up to two hundred (200) Second Prize winners.

1. Grand Prize: $3,000 to cover the cost of the Ultimate Karaoke Experience, including but not limited to airfare and travel expenses, food and beverage, karaoke and entertainment in Las Vegas, Nevada.
2. Second Prize: One (1) bibigo™ free product coupon.

Influencers such as Abiud Sandoval, Linda Meeker, Sang Cho and Shuang Hu will start the groove by sharing their best take. Everyone is invited to take the spotlight and use their voice as a currency, no matter the level of their singing ability.
