Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) is experiencing great popularity as more than 300 customers flocked to the 'Haikyuu' pop-up store opened on the basement first floor of the main building, with limited edition products selling out within 5 minutes.
According to Gwangju Shinsegae on the 18th, the 'Haikyuu' pop-up store, which is being held through an online pre-reservation system from that day until the 28th, saw all sessions sold out from the first session at 10:30 AM to the fifth session on the opening day, attracting a large crowd as soon as it opened.
At the waiting area for the first session pre-reserved customers in the main building's first floor plaza, waiting began from 6 PM the previous day, demonstrating the popularity of Haikyuu. After the entrance started, the pop-up store was packed with customers, and within 5 minutes of opening, all limited edition character figure goods were sold out, causing a goods shortage frenzy.
