Stray Kids pop-up store, cafe to open themed on band’s animated characters

A pop-up store and cafe themed around boy band Stray Kids’ animated animal characters SKZOO is slated to open on March 14 and continue until March 31, JYP Entertainment said Wednesday.

“Stray Kids x SKZOO Pop-up & Cafe ‘SKZOO’s Magic School’” will take place at venues AP Again in Seongdong District, eastern Seoul, and Soundwave in Mapo District, western Seoul. Anyone can visit.

The events will also give a nod to the band’s magician concept for its upcoming fan meet and greet “SKZ’s Magic School,” which runs from March 29 to 31 at the KSPO Dome in Songpa District, southern Seoul.

Tickets for the fan meet and greet are available on Yes24. Presales begin on March 4 at 8 p.m. and are open exclusively to members of Stray Kids’ fan club STAY. Regular admission is from March 6 at 8 p.m.

Additional information will be posted on the band’s social media channels.

Stray Kids recently won Group of the Year at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards and Best Performance at the 31st Hanteo Music Awards. The band is also the first K-pop boy band to headline the BST Hyde Park music festival on July 14.
