The pop-up store will showcase over 200 new products, including a special Pok?mon series available exclusively at this location. A giant Metamong air balloon, approximately 3 meters tall, has also been installed. In addition, aligning with the recent 'random draw' trend, around 130 Pok?mon 'gacha (capsule machines)' will be operated.

This year, the Pok?mon craze is being expanded to the Jamsil main store, where a Pok?mon card pop-up store will be held at the Trevi Square on basement level 1 until May 18. This is the first Pok?mon card exclusive pop-up store, offering about 80 types of cards, including the new 'Battle Enhancement BOX Battle Partners.' Approximately 30 types of rare, sold-out cards (limited card decks) that are difficult to find in the market will also be sold in limited quantities.

Events and purchase promotions for visitors have been further expanded. At the Metamong's Time Capsule pop-up store in World Mall, customers who make a purchase will receive a Metamong fan, and those who buy a paper shopping bag will be given a 'Pok?mon Town charm' in limited quantities for each period. At the Jamsil main Pok?mon card pop-up store, three mini-game events, including paper airplane flying, will be held. Customers who participate in all the events will receive a 'Pok?mon Town tin case' on a first-come, first-served basis.

Jeon Yuna, chief buyer of the Kids Team at Lotte Department Store, stated, "This year marks the third consecutive year of the Pok?mon pop-up store, which has established itself as one of the most popular contents among retailers by breaking visitor records every year. We aim to continue to quickly introduce a variety of content that can appeal to all age groups."
