KUALA LUMPUR: Fans of international K-Pop sensation BTS can look forward to seeing a massive store dedicated to the group in the Gangnam district of Seoul soon.
According to Soompi, the group’s agency, Big Hit Entertainment, revealed earlier today that it would be opening a special pop-up store, dubbed House of BTS. It will be operational from Oct 18 to Jan 5.
House of BTS is expected to offer upgraded content from the group’s BTS World Tour Pop-Up Store, which was set up in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, and Paris during recent months of May and June to coincide with BTS’ successful Love Yourself: Speak Yourself tour.
The upcoming pop-up store is a large scale event that will utilise an entire building in Gangnam, taking up a basement floor as well as three upper levels.
Visitors will be able to attend a show room where they can experience the world within BTS’ music videos. They will also be able to purchase merchandise, food and beverages.
House of BTS will be decorated in the same pink theme that was used on the group’s hit album Map Of The Soul: Persona. Fans can also expect to see the store peppered with the creative artwork from BTS’ various hit songs, including DNA, MIC Drop and more.
Unlike their previous pop-up stores, which were open only during touring periods, House of BTS will be opened for an extended period of approximately 80 days to cater to fans from South Korea and those traveling there from around the world.
Big Hit Entertainment revealed that, “House of BTS will provide an experience more amazing than those from previous pop-up stores. It will be a multifaceted experience. We hope that it becomes a place many people — not just fans — can enjoy together.”
Meanwhile, the uber popular K-Pop group will be performing at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia tomorrow as part of its Love Yourself: Speak Yourself extended stadium tour.
