There's CD's, plushies, posters, photo cards, light sticks, and much more. I'm not that big into K-pop, but if you are, I think this is a good place to stop, in Little Tokyo of all places. You can definitely peruse through their aisles for some time. I liked the amount of Kakao Friends goods that they had here if any. I can't say much for the cost, a bit pricey for me, but I'm used to dirt cheap Japanese Mercari Visual Kei and J-rock prices. Staff welcomed us in when we were there and had smiles on their faces, despite the heat of the summer. It gets SUPER hot in here and they have some fans, but if they even have AC, it's very, very weak.

While it's clearly a hotspot for K-pop merch, it was the photo booths that really won us over. Even though we aren't K-pop fans ourselves, it turned into such a fun family moment. I've always been nostalgic for photo booths and am always down to snap a picture, though the prop luck was definitely "unique"--I somehow ended up in an eggplant hat (and no, I'm not a d**khead!), while my poor wife got stuck with the poop emoji hat. It was all in good fun! It's a great spot to grab some quirky photos and browse through the latest K-pop swag.

Located in Expo Hall 7, this K-pop convention was full of cute booths, dancing, kawaii merch and more. The best part for me however at this year's K-Play Fest was a Sanrio Hello Kitty and Friends booth. It was a full on section that had plenty of photo ops, a giveaway wheel and lots of super cute Sanrio snacks for purchase! Being a Hello Kitty fan, this specific booth at the festival was a true delight! Aside from the Hello Kitty booth, I also appreciated the different creative vendor booths. I loved seeing all the cute and creative items. I spotted beautiful origami, unique K-pop photo cards and lots of stickers! Overall K-Play! Fest was such a kawaii experience this past weekend!

I loved seeing everyone's amazing outfits and the talent at the Random Play Dance was unreal! Plus, the vendors and food stalls had so much variety. I'm definitely going to make sure I get there earlier next time because there's just so much to see and do. I'm probably gonna go again in August!

Anywas, I happened to come across this K-pop store! I didn't even know our Mall had one ! So I was definitely excited to go in and see what they had.. because I love k-pop! They had a lot of good selection from groups like YG, to JYP and SM, Ect... But to my surprise!!! They also had a bunch of POP MART labubu's ! I was so happy when I saw them! I immediately grabbed one! Then continued to checked out the rest of the store. I was also excited to see that they had some stray kids albums and merchandise! but............! Unfortunately, my shopping experience wasn't that great. I couldn't help but feel eyes on me.. and when I looked behind me. There was a lady staring at me. I could tell she was the store manager, or owner of the place... regardless, she had her eyes on me making me feel a little uncomfortable.. there was a moment when she went over to the cute cashier guy that was working.. probably told him to keep an eye on me.. then they switched and he politely came up to me and asked if I needed help with anything? Keep in mind out of all the other people that where there.. he only happened to ask me. when I kindly told him that I was okay, and just looking... he returned back to his position and they switched and she just kept staring at me. Idk if it was just the fact that I'm beautiful or maybe it was my skin color idk... Anyways! I bought the labubu! Took it home with me and authenticated it. And it was legit! It was a true authentic POP MART labubu! Even though my experience was a little uncomfortable in store... I would like to go back and give them another chance regardless of the woman being prejudice.

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

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!

I've placed In store pickup for another Kpop shop location in the past with merch that they have on hand but it always takes 4-7 days for me to get a ready for pickup notification. Kpop Republic on the other hand is super quick and don't make you wait for days for pickup. Staff is cool and friendly. Shop is super organized and aesthetically pleasing which is rare since most Kpop shops I've been to are just stuff to the gills with product. I live in Long Beach and because of the service, I don't ever mind the drive here. And their prices are a bit more competitive than other shops they may charge $3-$5+ more for the same product.

While I couldn't find what I was looking for, they do have a wide selection of albums and kpop merch. There is also this really good free bin where you can donate albums and pick from the pile. I can't really comment on pricing as this was my first ever kpop store but they seemed about average. Staff was super busy helping customers so I didn't really interact with them since I didn't buy anything. I will probably be back to pick up my SKZ and BTS light sticks as their prices are comparable to online prices; I prefer to support an independent brick and mortar than online (if possible). Looking forward to my next visit!

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!
