As its name suggests, K-Playground is much more than just a K-pop store.
The ground floor is the actual shop where you can find a wide range of K-pop albums and merch and there’s a separate section for the new arrivals, so you can find anything new without having to search.

At the fidget toy station, you can select your clicky fidget base (it looks like buttons from a keyboard), select your charms and click each charm on a button. You can use it as a cute and unique keychain and a fidget toy.

You can also make your own patch keychain. Again, choose your keychain base, pick your patches, arrange them on the base as you like and hand it to the staff.
A staff member will then put it under a heat machine that secures the patches on the base. It takes about 5 minutes.

Ready-made accessories are also available. Photocard holders, keyrings, bag charms, hair accessories and more.
To celebrate BTS ARIRANG World Tour there is a limited-edition hand-made accessory available. Inspired by the timeless beauty of Korean hanbok, these keychains bring a little touch of Korean tradition to your everyday life.
Clothes and other Korean fashion items are also available within the shop.
