With the spread of Korean culture globally, fans from different parts of the world steadily increase every day. That is why there is also a continuous demand for its market, the K-culture-related tourism, merchandise, and services. But purchasing products from another country can be daunting. Fortunately, there are a lot of online shopping sites that could fulfill these needs. One of them is Weverse Shop, where you can buy a wide variety of KPOP merchandise.
What is Weverse Shop?
Weverse Shop is an online shopping app created by HYBE Company together with another app called Weverse where artists and fans interact. Both of them can be downloaded from Apple App Store and Google Play Store. HYBE is formerly called BigHit Entertainment, which houses BTS, the biggest KPOP boy group globally right now. As the company expanded, more KPOP groups and solo artists became a part of it like TOMORROW X TOGETHER, GFRIEND, SEVENTEEN, NU’EST, ENHYPEN, WEEEKLY, P1HARMONY, CHERRY BULLET, CL, HENRY, SUNMI, TREASURE, and WOO!AH!.
Thanks to Weverse Shop, you can now buy merchandise from these artists in just one store. You can find official artist merch and exclusive items like fandom membership, limited-edition collaboration products, and albums. It could also cater to fans, specifically, in South Korea, the USA, Japan, and a ‘Global’ option. But one problem that is concerning is the expensive international shipping fee, especially if Weverse Shop does not ship directly to your country. It has been a problem for international fans ever since. But the good thing is, there are now Korean package forwarding services like Delivered Korea.
