There’s no more waiting for merch in the mail for BlackPink fans (aka BLINKs) as the group is set to finally open their first Canadian store.
Fans can shop in person at the BlackPink Toronto Pop-Up Shop, but they’ll have to act fast since the store will be open for just two days from November 4 to 5. The store is located downtown at 80 Atlantic Avenue and there’s no doubt that there’s going to be a massive line-up as eager BLINKs try to get their hands on exclusive merch. Fans can also look forward to surprise giveaways while supplies last.
The BlackPink pop-up store is a joint effort between the group, as well as Bravado Canada and Universal Music Canada. Prior to opening in Toronto, fans in the west coast got to have the ultimate BlackPink shopping experience at a three-day pop-up store in Los Angeles last month.
Some of the items that fans can look forward to include hoodies, a beanie, and T-shirts so they can be sure they’re appropriately dressed to see their idols during BlackPink’s upcoming shows. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa are scheduled to take the stage at FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton, Ontario. They’ll be performing for two nights on November 6 and 7 and it’s the only Canadian stop in their worldwide tour.
BlackPink burst into the music scene in 2016 and are now one of the top K-pop acts worldwide. In addition to chart-topping hits, the group has helped put the genre on the international stage and were the first K-pop girl group to perform at the Coachella festival in 2019. They’re also social media sensations. Their YouTube channel has over 82 million subscribers and music videos like “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and “How You Like That” have net billions of streams. After two years, the group returned with their highly anticipated 2022 album Born Pink.
The BlackPink Toronto Pop-Up Shop will be open on Friday, November 4 from 11 am to 8 pm and Saturday, November 5 from 10 am to 8 pm.
