It was my first time visiting Kpop Music Town IRL. In the past I would make orders online and have…read morethem shipped. This most recent order I made the mistake and had a preorder set as pick up. I guess it was time that I actually came and visited the shop. Since I was pretty familiar with the location, finding the store was a breeze and local. Was pretty excited to come and check out the physical location not gonna lie. When I stepped into the shop, I was immediately surprised on the size of the store and how much stock they carry. There were albums all along the wall, from the floor to the ceiling. Some tables in the middle of the store with albums and other smaller items at and behind the counter. Being my first time there, I wanted to browse around. I started looking for my favorite artists. Although I am not sure how their albums are set up, I did manage my groups without any assistance. Since I was there to pick up my preorders I spoke to the person behind the counter. The lady helped me grab my items and I was pretty much on my way out in no time. I will be happy to make the mistake on my preorder pick up again just to visit the store next time. Parking: paid private lot VERDICT: Rinse and repeat

It's really interesting how a single kpop establishment has two stores inside the same mall. The…read morestore located in front of the escalators are dedicated to CDs. They mostly offer new releases (trust me, with a variety of versions) and a few throwback albums (from the late 2010s / early 2020s). Their location on the other end of the hall (next to 그녀 샵 [Geu Nyeo Shop]) has an extensive selection of posters, lightsticks and a few souvenirs. Being a kpop stan on budget seems like an oxymoron, however I made it possible by focusing on posters during my first visit. Their posters are placed on shoebox like shelves and are labeled according to group/artist. Here's my tip upon selecting posters: be sure to read the labels above the barcode. It tells you the poster's name. However, if you'd like a sneak peek of what the poster looks like, you may search on Google or Choice Music's website to see an actual preview. Take your sweet time, as long as it's not as busy and/or if you're determined to get the poster(s) that you want. Some posters (for example Seventeen) have dedicated ones per unit (vocal, performance, hip hop) and some have all members in one poster. Surprisingly, all of my 3 posters were on sale that day. Depending on the cashier on duty, they may offer freebies along with your purchase. Happy Hunting with many choices at Choice Music!

This is probably the most popular Kpop store in Los Angeles. They have a strong online presence…read more(65k+ followers on Instagram!), so many fans come here from out of town - especially when there is a concert in the area! Be sure to check if there's a Kpop concert in the area because A LOT of stock will be sold out, especially light sticks. The prices are pretty decent here and can tend to be a bit cheaper than other stores. I recommend buying their albums that they have for pre-order because they are usually cheaper than other sites! I personally prefer going to other Kpop stores in the area since Choice Music is pretty small in size and can feel a bit cramped. However, the staff are very considerate and be sure to take your temperature/sanitize your hands before you enter!

Despite them not ever picking up the phone, I still had a way better experience here than at the…read moreother kpop store, K Place. I originally bought two Blackpink light sticks from K Place but was disappointed to find that they were dirty upon unboxing. When I asked the workers why they looked dirty, they told me that "they just come like that" and that "it's normal." I was having a hard time believing them but they did test both light sticks to make sure they actually worked and they did. They also said I could just clean it and that it's most likely just dirt. This was my first time ever purchasing a light stick and so I made sure to do some research beforehand of other people unboxing their official merch they bought and I'd never seen the legit ones this dirty. It was really odd. Nevertheless, I went over to Kpop Music Town to compare prices and they were actually selling their Blackpink light sticks for a dollar cheaper. When I asked if I could take a look at them before purchasing, they told me I'd have to buy them first before checking the integrity of the light sticks. So instead, I asked them if it was normal for them to come out looking dirty and the worker was confused. After we explained everything that had happened earlier, she asked to see our light sticks we purchased. They immediately said that wasn't normal and shouldn't be that dirty, and that it's not a manufacturing issue either. I was very sad and disappointed to know my expensive purchase was a bad experience--they had flat out lied to me it seems, but thankfully K Place has a 14 day return policy so we literally went back to return those and came back to Music Town to buy from them instead. After the transaction went through, two workers thoroughly inspected both light sticks to make sure they worked and that they were to our liking (i.e. not dirty) and we were very happy with our purchase. TL;DR buy from Kpop Music Town instead of K Place if you're looking for official merch like light sticks. It'll save you a lot of hassle. Plus they're run by very helpful employees.

They have a great selection of BTS Korea tour merchandise, including sweaters, shirts, jerseys, and other tour items. The sales lady and owner were both so welcoming and friendly. The owner clearly loves BTS and was so much fun to talk to! He even explained how the clothing cuts and sizing differ between the BTS Korea and Japan tour merchandise. And BTW--they told me they're getting BTS Japan tour merch next week!!!!!! They also carry merchandise and albums from other K-pop groups, and I thought the prices were very reasonable. They don't post everything they have on their website, so it's definitely worth stopping by the store in person. Such a fun find for BTS and K-pop fans!

It's fun to go inside and take a selfie with the life-size BTS K-pop group cut outs. This is a unique store and it's easier than navigating all over Koreatown for Korean pop items, especially for kids and teenagers as it's inside a secure shopping mall. If you are a parent with kids who love K-pop, this is a great choice. The store has everything K-pop themed inside; mini albums, canvas bags, beauty products, photo books, biographies, collectible cards, dolls and lots of other K-pop themed merch. It's very easy to browse inside and very spacious; items are clearly displayed and well laid out. The sales people are helpful if you're looking for that certain collectible item. Prices vary. If you're into K-pop culture this is a fun destination to check out.

I was happy getting a freebie postcard and was able to enjoy taking photos inside of the space with the photozones on the walls. Some things that stood out to me was seeing that they're strict on no outside food or drinks, and when I looked at the food and snacks sold, it was mostly Korean ramen or some ice cups, so the vibes here are meant to be very casual convenience-store hangout type. I also saw that the huge floor space also holds dances so that's pretty cool!! I found an album I really wanted to buy and thought it was cool to find exclusive merch from the store branch too from K-pop groups, especially Ateez. It seems like the albums and merch sold are recent (releases from same year or previous year) and aren't oversupplied with past old albums/merch like other kpop stores. All in all, I wouldn't mind visiting here again!!

I know that there are limited time giveaways at the start/opening, but I didn't really care to get them as I had tickets already. I saw online how it was incredibly packed and busy at the start due to the giveaways. Walking in, we were handed a free exclusive signed postcard from a random artist of the lineup. Some fans were waiting to see who'd you get in hopes of trading. The store itself is big and I enjoy the high ceiling as it wasn't too stuffy inside. The kpop albums sold wasn't bad; some groups were more highlighted than others but it's worth noting that there were exclusive hello82 merch which was nice. I bought a signed album for a good price ($23) and felt content. I think this store is good for the kpop community and helps foster cool things. I enjoy watching the youtube channel too. Past cupsleeve events are sold here too and there's also korean convenience food snacks/ramen station sold and plenty of tables to eat at while listening to kpop. Overall I had a pleasant experience but I do wish there were actually more merch from the artists performing at the actual event that's being advertised!
