The Hyundai Seoul KPop Demon Hunters Pop-Up: Dates, Reservation Rules, and The Hyundai Merch Guide

The Hyundai Seoul KPop Demon Hunters pop-up is now open as the official one-year anniversary event for Netflix’s animated title “KPop Demon Hunters.” The event runs from May 21 to June 3, 2026, at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido, with a focus on official goods, photo spots, and a structured fan visit route.¹

For visitors searching for The Hyundai Merch around this event, the key point is that this is not a general souvenir corner. It is a time-limited official pop-up with reservation-based entry, new merchandise, and event areas built around the film’s world and story.¹

The Hyundai Seoul KPop Demon Hunters Pop-Up: When and Where to Go

The official name used in event coverage is “KPop Demon Hunters One Year Anniversary POP-UP.” It is being held at The Hyundai Seoul, specifically around the B2 Iconic Zone, a basement-level event area inside the department store.² Sports Donga reported that the Seoul pop-up opened on May 21, 2026, at The Hyundai Seoul’s B2 Iconic Zone.³

The published event period is May 21 through June 3, 2026.¹ Because May 22, 2026 is within that period, the event is already underway, not merely upcoming. Anyone planning a visit should treat the remaining dates as a short operating window and check the reservation channel before heading to Yeouido.

Entry is handled through advance reservation on Naver Reservation.¹ Sports Kyunghyang also reported that one reservation allows the reserver to enter with up to three additional companions.² That detail is especially useful for families or small friend groups, because it suggests that the reservation is not necessarily limited to one person only.

The official fan community posted a detailed pop-up guide on May 6, 2026, saying visitors could check the operating timetable, space layout, and special event information before the Seoul anniversary pop-up.⁴ Since operating details can affect queueing and arrival planning, visitors should use that official guide and the Naver Reservation page as practical checkpoints before visiting.

What Visitors Can Expect Inside the Pop-Up

The pop-up is designed as a fan experience rather than only a sales booth. Sports Donga described the on-site route as moving through a photo zone, MD zone, and payment zone, creating a clear flow from taking photos to browsing goods and then checking out.³ That layout matters for planning: visitors who want photos may want to prepare first, while shoppers should expect the merchandise area to be part of a controlled event route.

The photo areas are tied to the work’s universe, plot, and visual identity. Korea JoongAng Daily reported that the event offers photo spots reflecting the film’s story and world, along with film-based merchandise.¹ Mediapen also noted that the site includes a large photo zone where visitors can experience the world of the work.⁵

Merchandise is a major draw. Sports Donga reported that 59 new products are being introduced at the pop-up, including Huntrix dolls, cushion keyrings, kids’ clothing, stationery, and goods aimed at family visitors.³ Sports Kyunghyang reported that the new official product lineup includes the official Huntrix doll, while Unicorn Factory said the lineup includes official goods planned and produced by B.B.D and the first reveal of the official Huntrix doll.²⁶

The family-oriented emphasis is not accidental. Mediapen reported that this year’s pop-up strengthened kid- and family-friendly elements based on data from last year’s event.⁵ That helps explain the presence of children’s apparel and stationery alongside collectible character goods. For shoppers, it means the best approach is to think beyond one category: the event appears to serve collectors, younger fans, and families looking for accessible official items.

Bemyfriends is handling the overall pop-up operation as well as official merchandise planning and production.² Seo Woo-seok, CEO of Bemyfriends, said the company prepared “an experience where fans can immerse themselves more deeply,” and Unicorn Factory’s version of the quote specifies that this was done through self-planned merchandise and spatial design.²⁶

The event also includes promotional features beyond standard shopping. Sports Donga reported SNS verification events and purchase-amount-based gift promotions.³ The source material does not provide full reward tiers or exact purchase thresholds, so visitors should confirm those details at the venue or through the official guide before making purchase plans.

Practical Visit Tips for Reservations, Groups, and Merch Shopping

Start with reservation status. Because entry is advance-reservation based through Naver Reservation, arriving without checking availability may create avoidable disappointment.¹ For groups, the reported rule allowing the reserver plus up to three companions is useful, but the safest move is to keep all party members aligned on the same entry slot and arrive together.²

If your priority is The Hyundai Merch, decide what kind of purchase you are aiming for before entering the MD zone. The available source material confirms 59 new products and names several categories, but it does not provide a full item list, prices, inventory quantities, restock schedules, or sellout rules.³ That means visitors should avoid assuming that every item will be available throughout the full May 21-June 3 period.

Families may find this pop-up easier to justify than a purely collector-focused event because reported categories include kids’ clothing and stationery, and the planning has emphasized kid- and family-friendly elements.³⁵ Still, the source material does not specify stroller policy, age restrictions, parking guidance, or exact operating hours. Those details should be checked through the official fan community guide or The Hyundai Seoul’s current visitor information before departure.

For photo-focused visitors, the structured route suggests a simple order: prepare for the photo zone first, browse the MD zone carefully, then move to payment.³ Since SNS verification events are part of the site program, visitors interested in participating should check the on-site instructions before leaving the photo area or completing checkout.³
