Throughout October 2026, various Korean lifestyle, beauty, and culture brands are conducting pop-up events across Tokyo to engage the Japanese market.

Initial efforts include a month-long exhibition by the magazine andoor at Futako Tamagawa Tsutaya Electrics, focusing on the Mangwon neighborhood in Seoul. The ‘SEOUL LOCAL GUIDE in Mangwon’ event showcases brands such as WARMGREY TAIL, mmo garden, and SMALL NEST. To enhance the experience, andoor editor-in-chief Kim So-yeon is scheduled to appear on select dates to discuss local Seoul culture and featured products.

Other concurrent initiatives include the ‘DISTRICT SEOUL SHIBUYA EDITION’ at Shibuya Scramble Square, featuring the ceramic brand SOILBAKER to replicate the atmosphere of Seoul’s various districts. 

Test-marketing efforts are also prominent. NOAH Co., Ltd. is hosting ‘K-LIFE STYLE IN NAKANO MARUI’ at Nakano Marui, which transitions from showcasing 11 beauty and wellness brands in late October to focusing on Korean food brands from October 30 to November 3. This food-focused phase includes items like soy-marinated crab, plum makgeolli, and meal kits, allowing companies to evaluate consumer reactions to pricing, packaging, and preparation methods. 

Additionally, the Korean select shop National Point will participate in the ‘Shinjuku Gourmet Garden’ at Shinjuku Central Park from October 31 to November 3, exhibiting leather goods such as bags and jackets from the ‘TOUR RECORD’ brand.
