🛍️ Finding Pop-Up Stores! 🎀
Authored By:
Pop-Up stores and events are everywhere in Korea, especially in Seoul!!! Seongsu is the most popular and one of the crowded touristic places in Seoul, but it is so worth the hype in my opinion! So in this article, I wanted to share ways to keep up with Pop-Up stores and notifications in case your favorite brand is literally giving away free gifts! 🎁
There are some Instagram accounts that I follow to be notifed about pop-up stores:
@popup_dangni - This account posts monthly pop-up calendars and updates reels to show where the pop-ups are and what you can get there!
@popupmate - This one reposts the pop-up store activities and posters. Also shares what items they are selling or having.
Other options are to search "Popup store" in NAVER Maps or Kakao Map & it shows the locations and schedule of each pop-up. Also, you can just hop on a metro, get off at the Seongsu Station, and just walk around spontaneously, there will be a lot of pop-ups will be there. Other locations like Hongdae, or Itaewon has some pop-up stores, but I would suggest looking at the map before you head there!
