This is the ultimate shopping spree.
It’s totally normal to feel a bit nostalgic for our favorite BTS moments. Being die-hard fans, it’s definitely relatable to miss having them around. Every day brings us closer to their epic comeback, and the excitement is real. But knowing we’ve got another year to wait before we get to vibe with their awesome energy together might hit us with a wave of melancholy.
Well, no more FOMO vibes—for now, at least. From May 24 to June 30, brace yourselves for the ultimate BTS Pop-Up at Level 2, South Wing Entertainment Mall of SM Mall of Asia. Prepare to cop all the sick merch from your fave K-pop icons, from drip-worthy threads and bags to lit jewelry and candles.
