Review of the Namako Popup Store in Busan
Hello, this is Hankki!
Today, I’m sharing my fresh experience from the Namako popup store that opened in Busan!
Recently, I heard that the popup in Seoul was incredibly popular, so I made sure to visit early in the morning. The atmosphere was even more vibrant than I expected, and I was surprised by the number of Namako fans present.
Even on the opening day, the organization was systematic, so there was no confusion. The staff were friendly, making it a pleasant experience to browse.
Let me share details about parking, waiting tips, and the products!
Parking and Waiting Information
The Busan Namako popup store runs from February 13, 2026, to March 5, 2026. For those driving, there is a parking fee support available in the underground parking. However, it can be difficult to exit the parking lot in the early hours, so I recommend arriving after 9 AM.
Parking fees are as follows:
- First 30 minutes free / 500 KRW for every additional 10 minutes
- 1 hour free for purchases over 10,000 KRW
- 2 hours free for purchases over 30,000 KRW
- 3 hours free for purchases over 50,000 KRW
- 4 hours free for purchases over 100,000 KRW
- 5 hours free for purchases over 200,000 KRW
There are two ways to wait: before and after the opening. Before 10:30 AM, you can wait outside the Lululemon store in Centum City Mall. After 10:30 AM, you can register at the popup store on the B1 level using a waiting machine.
I arrived around 9 AM and received ticket number 12. The person who got number 1 arrived at 8:30 AM, while someone towards the end of the line received number 100. At around 10:30 AM, those who waited were allowed to enter the store in groups of 10, approximately 15-20 minutes apart.
Product List and Kuji
New keychains and plushies were launched during the Busan popup. You can find a limited edition long Namako keychain, so make sure to grab one!
For purchases over 30,000 KRW, you can participate in a kuji lottery with various prizes. I’m curious to see what I got!
The store was cozy, and I waited about 20 minutes to enter. Inside, the atmosphere was comfortable, and I was able to browse without feeling rushed.
The highlight was the limited edition long Namako mushroom plushie priced at 12,500 KRW. Other small keychains were around 10,000 KRW and made great souvenirs.
New keychains and plushies, especially featuring Natsumi and Chocolate, were very popular. The tactile quality of the Namako products is delightful, so be sure to check them out in person!
There are also seasonal items like cushions and indoor slippers available. Prices can be checked on the website.
In the center of the store, there’s a photo zone featuring various plushies, so don’t forget to take some pictures!
I purchased a 'Kansai 16cm keychain' for 13,000 KRW and a 'Namako 29cm plushie' for 20,000 KRW, totaling 33,000 KRW, which allowed me to participate in the kuji. I ended up receiving a sticker from the lottery.
The Namako products are adorable, and I can confidently say that the money spent was worth it!
