ARMY, take notes: BTS has a spanking new 3-storey pop-up experience in Seoul’s swanky Gangnam district.
“We hope it will become a space that everyone, including fans, can enjoy together,” expressed Big Hit Entertainment in a press release that mentioned that the pop-up store will be “a more spectacular customer experience than ever before.”
House of BTS will be open from today, 18 October 2019 to 5 January 2020.

The pop-up has taken over an existing building in Gangnam with BTS goodness. It is themed around BTS’ album, Map of the Soul: Persona, so there are plenty of pink-coloured spots to take your Instagram photos.
Here’s a breakdown of the floors based on the above map tweeted by a fan.
2F: Idol theme room, restrooms, character zone, Mic Drop theme zone
1F: Cafe, event zone, merchandise order and pick up zones
B1: AR kiosk, music video zone, restrooms
Artwork from BTS songs like DNA and Mic Drop decorate the place, allowing fans to fully immerse themselves into the BTS universe.
The store is an extension of the BTS World Tour Pop-up Store that appeared in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London and Paris during the BTS Love Yourself: Speak Yourself world tour earlier this year. Except this time, it is a much grander experience.

As expected, fans will be able to get their hands on a wide assortment of merchandise, such as hoodies, sling bags, caps, mugs and more. It also looks like the polymer dolls of the idols they have been teasing on social media will finally be available.
However, purchases are limited to 3 of the same items for each customer.
Besides merchandise of the famed Korean boyband, food and beverages will be sold in the store too. Music videos will also be played throughout its opening.
ARMY, it is time to pack your luggage and head to Seoul to immerse yourself in the House of BTS pop-up store in Gangnam. It will also be open through the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
