A BTS pop-up store has opened in eastern Seoul's Seongsu-dong neighborhood under the name "Monochrome."

"Monochrome" revolves around the theme of "memory clouds," which are "clouds containing memories of the time that BTS and ARMY spent together." These memory clouds are stored inside bottles.

The pop-up store will open at 11 a.m. on Friday and will be held until May 12.

Before entering the store, visitors must register at the kiosk. Although there weren't many fans waiting outside, the kiosk indicated that over 600 groups were anticipating entry into the pop-up store.
