September/19/2025 14:39
The pop-up store of the liquor brand "IGIN" (アイギン), for which BTS (防弾少年団) member Jin serves as ambassador, will be held for five days from October 15 (Wednesday) to 19 (Sunday), 2025, at "OPEN BASE SHIBUYA" in Shibuya, Tokyo. The brand landed in Japan in July 2025. The canned type "APPLE TONIC," sold at Lawson nationwide in late August, sold out immediately in various locations, causing a big stir. This autumn, the pop-up store, which gained popularity in Korea, will finally debut in Japan. The venue, "OPEN BASE SHIBUYA," is located between Shibuya PARCO and Hands Shibuya. A special space that fuses the pop of "IGIN" with Japanese culture will open here. Upon passing through the pop and Japanese modern entrance, visitors will be welcomed by a large LED panel of Jin, a photo booth, and a tasting bar where they can actually enjoy the products (tasting and sales of alcohol are not conducted for those under 20 years old). On a separate floor, there will be a shopping area where visitors can actually handle popular merchandise from the Korean pop-up, as well as new items. The brand's representative item, "IGIN APPLE GIN," has repeatedly sold out instantly, including about 2,000 bottles sold out in just one minute during the first online sale after the brand's launch in Japan. To commemorate this pop-up, a Japan-exclusive label "IGIN APPLE GIN JAPAN Edition" will be released. The eye-catching matte black bottle features a pop and unique illustration inspired by Japan. With each purchase, a photo card set including the first visual image of the gin will be given as a bonus. By hanging the chain-attached photo card around the neck of the limited bottle, it feels like toasting with gin and "IGIN." The sale will be limited in quantity, and after the venue sale, it is also planned to be available at the official online store and nationwide at Aeon. Please also pay attention to the latest news that will be released sequentially. Additionally, more than ten new items, including popular rock glasses, acrylic coasters, and acrylic stirrers from the Korean pop-up, will be introduced. Notably, there will be collaborative apparel with the popular casual wear brand "WACKY WILLY" from Korea. With playful designs, fans can enjoy the world of "IGIN" as fashion. Other diverse items, such as tattoo stickers and neck straps for events, as well as everyday useful hair bands and ballpoint pens, will be prepared. We hope you enjoy "IGIN" closely with your favorite items. Furthermore, there are plans for collaboration events with restaurants in the Shibuya area to coincide with the pop-up shop!
