The pop-up will be in the basement and on the second floor of the department store. 

The basement will only be open to fans who have secured a reservation prior to their visit. It will feature new Busan-exclusive merchandise and existing BTS merchandise for purchase. 

The second-floor pop-up will allow fans to “feel the music of BTS with their five senses,” according to Shinsegae. 

“We've prepared a pop-up so visitors can make the tour more memorable,” a Shinsegae spokesperson said.

Shinsegae also opened a pop-up store at its flagship Main Branch in Jung District, central Seoul, when the band performed at Gwanghwamun in April. 

BTS kicked off its “Arirang” world tour on April 9 in Goyang, Gyeonggi, and has performed in Tokyo; Tampa, Florida; El Paso, Texas; Mexico City; San Francisco; and Las Vegas so far. Following the Busan leg of the tour on June 12 and 13, the band will perform in Madrid, Brussels, London, Munich and Paris.
