New K-Pop Store is Coming to the Mall of America
K-pop is taking over! K-pop (short for Korean Pop) has been popular for quite a while, but its popularity has really amped up with K-pop Demon Hunters. Now, there's a whole store dedicated to K-pop coming to Minnesota.

K-pop Focused Store Opening in Minnesota
The store is called Kpop Nara. They already have locations all across the country, including Seattle, Boston, NYC, Dallas, and Chicago, to name a few.
They've done a pop-up shop in Minnesota before at the Mall of America, but now there will be a permanent location for all of the K-pop merch your heart desires!

I don't personally know a ton about K-pop, but based on what I can tell from their website, Kpop Nara is all about K-pop music specifically. They have Kpop Nara exclusive items that are inspired by K-pop groups. They also have merch from those groups and albums, plus quite a few special album releases.
Over the weekend, Kpop Nara made the announcement that they'll be opening a permanent Minnesota location in the Mall of America.

There's no specific date just yet for when you'll be able to shop to your heart's content, but they are planning for 2026. They also mention that "more exciting announcements [are] coming VERY soon".
Even though I don't know much about K-pop, I'm going to have to check this store out, it sounds really cool and so unique!
