Soon, birthday ads for your artist will be something the whole fandom can do together — right inside Kooky.

With Ad Funding, Kooky books a real ad site (subway lightboxes, media walls and more) and splits its cost into equal shares.

Fans buy as many shares as they like. When a site fills up, it goes on air. If it doesn't, everyone gets a full refund 💛

📍 Pick a site, buy shares

Each Ad Funding campaign shows its ad sites, how many shares are sold and which sites are already confirmed.

Pay with an international card — no Korean phone number needed.

Once the ad is on air, we post real photos from the site 📸

🧾 One price per share — no extra fees

Every share has a fixed price, and that price is all you pay. Choose 1, 5, 10 or as many shares as you want.

Each site has run packages (for example 7 days or 14 days).

As soon as enough shares are sold to reach a package, we book the site with the media company.

🎨 Vote for the design that goes on air

Fans make the ad too! Here's how design voting works:

1️⃣ Your shares are your votes for that site — 1 share = 1 vote. Shares bought before the site is confirmed count as 2 votes each.

2️⃣ Browse the entries and give your votes. Put them all on one design, or split them across several.

3️⃣ Changed your mind? Move your votes any time until the sale closes.

4️⃣ When the sale closes, the design with the most votes is produced and goes on air. If it's a tie, the one submitted first wins.

Have a great idea? Share holders can submit their own design ✨

Check the site's design size (for example 1920 × 1080 px) on the site page before you upload.

💸 Full refund if a site isn't confirmed

If a site doesn't reach its first package by the closing date, every share in it is refunded in full to your original payment method — automatically.

If the sale closes between packages, shares beyond the package reached are refunded too (latest purchases first).

You can check every payment and refund in My shares.

🎂 Our first Ad Funding: a December birthday ad

Who gets Kooky's very first Ad Funding? You decide!

44 idols with December birthdays, chosen by their recent voting activity on Kooky, are up in the December Birthday Ad Vote.

The artist in 1st place becomes the star of our first Ad Funding.

Right after the vote, Kooky books a real ad site for the winner, and the Kooky team adds ₩500,000 in ad support 🎁

That alone guarantees the winner's birthday ad runs for 1 day. Fans can keep it running longer through Ad Funding shares — the more fans fund, the more days the ad stays on air.

The Ad Funding page opens once the winner is decided. We'll share the link right after the vote ends 🔗

See how the new vote works, then go cheer for your artist now! 👇

Together, fans are stronger than ever 💪💙
