(SPOT.ph) If you haven't heard of K-Pop then you've probably been living under a rock for the past few years. We're probably riding our fourth or fifth hallyu at this point and have gotten to know Korean food, Korean culture, and of course, Korean music idols on a whole different level. Just like what Psy's says in his latest hit "That That," the "pandemic's over" and with that comes a slew of Korean heartthrobs ready to make some noise in our concert venues. But just in case you can't come up with the funds to see your fave in concert, why not settle for merch instead? In case you didn't know, the global phenomenon that is BTS has a new pop-up store in town called In The Soop and they brought their hoobaes (this means juniors, by the way) in the music industry, Seventeen along for the ride.

Here's what to expect inside the In The Soop Pop Up Store:
The pop-up is located on the Lower Ground Floor at SM Mall of Asia's Main Mall. While walk-ins are allowed, it's highly encouraged that you book a slot instead to make sure that you have ample time to roam around the store.
For those curious to know what exactly In The Soop is, well, it's a reality tv show produced by HYBE which stars both BTS (with two seasons already!) and Seventeen (one season). We all know how hectic an idol's life is and this show gives them a chance to unwind in the soop which literally translates to the word "forest" in English.
The space is divided into different sections inspired by the reality show as well as the groups themselves. While ARMY may have more items to choose from, CARAT need not worry as there are a variety of items both affordable and top-tier available in Seventeen's section.
Check out some of the items we spotted below P1,000 below.
The In The Soop Pop-Up store is at Lower Ground Floor, South Main Mall, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City.
