Daedongyeojido Goods Guide: MU:DS Special Edition Scroll Release, Preorder, and Shipping Details

The Daedongyeojido goods release centers on the Daedongyeojido Scroll Special Edition, a MU:DS cultural product that recreates the National Museum of Korea’s copy of Kim Jeong-ho’s historic map using traditional hanji paper and silk. For readers tracking K Museum Goods, this is the key release to know: online preorders began on June 24, 2026, and sequential shipping is scheduled to begin on July 8, 2026.¹

What the Daedongyeojido Scroll Special Edition Is

The product is a scroll-format reproduction of Daedongyeojido, based on the National Museum of Korea collection. The National Museum Cultural Foundation introduced it through MU:DS, its museum goods brand, as a special edition that translates a major cultural heritage object into a collectible format.¹

The core appeal is that the item is not simply a map print. It reduces the full original 22-volume map to approximately one-seventh scale, while preserving the lines, terrain, and geographic information of the original. The map image is printed on traditional hanji, then backed with silk and finished with colored paper decoration.²

That makes the item more suitable for display than a standard flat poster. The scroll format, hanji texture, silk backing, and decorative finish are all part of the product concept. The foundation also gave each product and its package the same unique number, positioning it as a numbered special edition rather than a general souvenir.¹

One official comment explains why the map was chosen for this treatment. Jung Yong-seok, president of the National Museum Cultural Foundation, described Daedongyeojido as “more than a simple map” and as cultural heritage that concentrates Korea’s ancestors’ geographic understanding and aesthetic sense.¹

How to Buy and What Dates Matter

The most important date has already passed: online preorders for the Daedongyeojido Scroll Special Edition opened on June 24, 2026. Sequential shipping is scheduled to begin on July 8, 2026. On that same date, the product is also planned to be available at the National Museum of Korea product shop.¹

For a practical purchase plan, separate the two channels clearly. If buying online, the relevant action is checking the preorder channel that opened on June 24 and watching for the July 8 shipping sequence. If buying in person, the source-backed date to know is July 8, when sales at the museum product shop are scheduled to begin.¹

The product has also drawn attention because the No. 1 item was presented to BTS member RM, who was appointed global ambassador for the National Museum of Korea on June 19, 2026.² This detail is useful for understanding public interest around the release, but it should not distract from the buying basics: the product itself is a MU:DS special edition based on the museum’s Daedongyeojido collection copy, with preorder and shipping dates already announced.

The release also sits within a broader Daedongyeojido goods plan. Reports state that the National Museum Cultural Foundation plans to continue releasing Daedongyeojido-related goods beyond the scroll, including stickers and folding-screen postcards.³ If the scroll sells out or does not fit a buyer’s budget or space, those follow-up items may become the more accessible choices, though the available source material does not provide release dates or prices for them.

Why the Museum Display Matters

The scroll special edition is easier to understand if you know the museum display behind it. Since February 12, 2026, the National Museum of Korea has displayed all 22 volumes of Kim Jeong-ho’s Daedongyeojido in the permanent exhibition area on the first floor, along the “Path of History.”⁴

For that display, the museum used high-resolution data from its collection copy and printed it on traditional hanji so visitors could view the map as a large nationwide map measuring approximately 6.7 meters vertically and 3.8 meters horizontally.⁴ The goods release follows that same interpretive context: it turns the museum’s expanded, viewable presentation of the full map into a smaller scroll product for buyers.

This matters for visitors deciding whether the item is mainly decorative, educational, or collectible. The source material supports all three angles, but in a specific way. It is decorative because it uses scroll presentation, hanji, silk backing, and colored paper. It is educational because it preserves the map’s lines, terrain, and geographic information. It is collectible because each product and package carries a matching unique number.¹
