SAMG Entertainment's 'Catch! Teenieping' Named Face of 2026 Christmas Seal, Joins TB Eradication Campaign

SAMG Entertainment's flagship character intellectual property (IP), "Catch! Teenieping," has been selected as the face of the 2026 Christmas seal and will take part in a campaign to eradicate tuberculosis.

SAMG Entertainment, a global IP content company, announced on October 14 that it will release the 2026 Christmas seal featuring "Catch! Teenieping" in partnership with the Korean National Tuberculosis Association.

The Christmas seal will feature 10 characters from Season 7 of "Jewel Star Catch! Teenieping," which is scheduled to be released at the end of this year. The designs show the characters celebrating Christmas, and SAMG Entertainment also participated directly in developing the seal's artwork.

This year's Christmas seal slogan is "Catch Love! Eradicate Tuberculosis!" The campaign aims to raise interest in Christmas seals and expand donations to fight tuberculosis by using the Teenieping IP, which is familiar to children and families.

Sales of the paper Christmas seals began on October 1. Related merchandise featuring the characters, including Green Seal key rings, pouches, and Jibbitz charms, is also scheduled to be released in stages starting in mid-October. More information about purchasing the products is available at the Korean National Tuberculosis Association's official donation store.

Christmas seals began in Denmark in 1904 as a fundraising campaign to support tuberculosis patients. The campaign has continued for more than 120 years, and the funds raised through sales are used to support treatment costs for vulnerable groups and students with tuberculosis, as well as research into tuberculosis prevention and tuberculosis eradication programs in Korea and abroad.

Earlier this year, SAMG Entertainment partnered with Korea Post for Children's Day to release 700,000 "Catch! Teenieping" stamps and a set of illustrated postcards. Now, by producing Christmas seals with the Korean National Tuberculosis Association, the company is continuing its social contribution activities using character IP.

The company expects the collaboration to turn Teenieping fans' interest into donations to fight tuberculosis, while also increasing the collectible value of the Christmas seals and related merchandise.

A SAMG Entertainment representative said, "Through 'Catch! Teenieping,' we are able to take part in the meaningful effort to eradicate tuberculosis. We hope the Christmas seals and merchandise will encourage many people to take an interest in activities to fight tuberculosis."
