Shopping here feels like part of the K-pop experience itself. You can build your cart at the kiosk, check out, and then finalize your order on the screen. The store also has a space where you can decorate your cards, making it extra fun for fans who want to personalize their collection.
Once your order is complete, the screen will show your order number and the available pickup time. It’s important to double-check this information because you won’t be able to claim your cards outside of the time slot shown. When your pickup time arrives, you can then collect your order and enjoy your new additions. If you’re a tourist on a tight schedule, it’s best to shop earlier in the day so the pickup time doesn’t cut into your plans.
