Limited edition merchandise such as BTS’ reality series IN THE SOOP merchandise will also be available at the pop-up experience. It will also include a dedicated space for the boyband’s TinyTAN animated characters, which are modelled after the members.

Fans will be required to pre-book free tickets in order to enter the pop-up store. Further details regarding bookings will be announced via local event organisers Karnival Joy’s Instagram and Twitter pages.

The ‘BTS POP-UP: SPACE OF BTS IN LONDON’ will mark the boyband’s first pop-up store event in the UK and Europe, after their ‘The City’ events in Las Vegas and Busan earlier this year. Both events, held in April and October respectively, included similar pop-up booths and themed areas and activities.

Earlier today, Big Hit Music shared an update regarding BTS member Jin’s impending  military enlistment. In its statement, the agency urged fans to “refrain from visiting the site” of the idol’s entrance ceremony to avoid overcrowding and as a sign of respect for other enlistees and their families who will be present.
