K-Pop of Chinatown

Yes they do 😁

Yes....we got a cool BTS jacket from there a while back along with some CD sets.

They probably will when it comes out

Most likely it will be there!

Yes they do

Yes they do!

They have albums but not very much merch.

here are albums they're just behind the counter

They do also shirts, hats, socks, and other fan wear

You should go to their official website which is their facebook page, they answer really fast. I am sure that they will have the nct light stick but you should ask for being sure.

Yes

Real ones? Or like is like paper material?

Yes but its overpriced...do not buy it there

Yess they do. They are located behind the counter so you ask the cashier. Almost all albums cost $20-$30 maybe more.

I know they have 24k for sure

Yes

Not really , it's a good price but the cheapest are the stand up photos of BTS , they are 1.00 if your looking for the cheapest thing👍🏽

Who? And i don't think so

They have the bts one but the got 7 they dont

Yes

I saw BP, RB and Itzy. I can't remember if I saw aespa though

They do have and sell Stray Kids Lightsticks

Probably? They had a wide range of KPOP albums and memorabilia in stock. It is at least worth a shot as they are the only KPOP store in Chicago. Unfortunately you can't take photos in there, otherwise I would try to confirm via photos.

Yes, some albums behind the counter but I don't recall seeing any merch/t-shirts etc...

Yes!

Yes, they have almost all of Stray Kids albums currently and a majority of BTSs albums.

They do actually official albums are behind the counter and there's a clothing section of Ateez merch at the back of the store however it's unofficial.

I don't know about right now but I was there the other week and they were open( if that helps 😄)

Yes

around 100 dollars

They open 11am-7pm but Fridays stay open until 8pm

Yeah they do

YES! They do take cards, both debit & credit! 👍

Yes and they work great

I am pretty sure. They have a lot of them.

Yes they do

Yes , & the collector books or at least they did when I was there around the concert.

Yes

Expensive...like stupid expensive. But ig worth it

I don't know I haven't been their for like a month T_T I didn't see any merch of pentagon but there was albums I think

Do you mean bt21? And if so yes they do :)

Yes I believe they do

Yea they do

I think they should

They don't have ARMY Bombs but they have other lightsticks

They have exo and blackpink,but they don't have bts

I think they do.

Yes it was everything I believe

Yes

Lots!!!

Yes they have

I think yes

Most likely! They have a whole wall of shelves lined up with albums, lots of different artists :)

11 to 9

I didn't see any either. But maybe with school starting again they will

I believe so....

They so have the boyz merch

They do, but they are way overpriced in my opinion

My friend got Wings for like 34 dollars and the average album prices i seen there were like 29 to 100$ so that should go for bts albums

Sweater is $30, shirts are $14, hang-up posters are $20, mini posters are $7, socks are $3, albums are between $20-50 depending on the album. Hand cream set is $100. Memories of 2017 is $140 dollars

They do have small and it'll cost you around $30

Yes

All of the light sticks they offer are official ones.

Yes the merch is official from Korea and the groups represented.

Not sure, i would call and ask. we just saw them in concert May 23rd! It was awesome!

At the time we were there yes

Yeah they do if you mean Blackpink

They have BTS, GOT7, Astro, TWICE, KNK, and Pentagon. Idk about KNK

They should have it but just to make sure call the store

Absolutely

Yes

A lot of them are some level of special edition, so they can cost more!

Not as of 6 weeks ago.

Yes and no. I believe they are associated with daebak BBQ place and they always seem to have a sign in front about hiring. They also I think more often look for people who are bilingual. Spanish Chinese and English I think are the perfect trifecta for them. But you should definitely ask about it next time you drop by.

Yes I was just here today. $140

skz albums yes. skzoo plushies ...I don't think so

they have loona albums and lightsticks! and other gg albums and merch too

Yup but lightsticks are like 120 and one album 62 so I would say just buy online.

NO I didn't see 😢

They do and it's $140 plus tax

Yes they have tons of albums from lots of different groups.

Not sure if they have those specific ones but when I went they did have a variety of different ones

I'm not sure but they do have lightsticks of some other groups. Idk about the Boyz lightstick but you can totally check!

Thanks Mike!!

Sorry I have no Idea I visited to buy souvenir for my family...

They do but they're hella expensive.

Yes! They have albums from a lot of groups, even really old albums.

Yes

Yes

Seventeen group they have. You buy in person only

No

Yes, they should be able to.

yes they do

Yes

I was just there about a month ago and it was not.

I was there 2 weeks ago and they had the newer shinee albums. If you are looking for anything before story of light the girl working there said they wont have them.

I was there yesterday and they had the all yours and gateway. None of the older astro albums unfortunately.

Oh ok so I can pay with cash if it's over 10$ either way??

Yes. All of the stuff are overpriced

park on the street near by or in front of the store if you can find parking. there is a parking lot that is walking distance to the store.

Yes, they had B.I.T. stuff. I can't remember exactly what, but they really carry only the biggest acts right now. They had almost nothing of older bands.

Masks are mandatory in order to enter and it is sanitized very well

Yes they do

Albums might be: $40+ Lightsticks: $60+

No they don't sell those

Not yet but I think they might have it this upcoming week

Yes they do!

Mhhhh

Yes, the albums are official, and almost always first releases (meaning they come with a photocard and a poster- until the posters sell out)

Really depends on how much you want to spend on each person. If youre getting like 1 or 2 items each 1k would be enough. However if youre wanting to really load them up you can of course bring more. Albums run around 30 each. Light sticks run like 130ish. Small little merch like stickers, pins, photocards can run $5-20. So my opinion would to bring more just to be on the safe side.

I went there and they do have albums. Like Blackpink, and other K-pop artists. So yes they might have dreamcatcher albums. You might see one.

They do. I went and bought a copy yesterday and they had one more on the shelf at that point.

Yes! I seen alot of black pink merch and albums

Yes, they have a bunch of waters merch, they even have their lightstick.

They are probably.

From what I know, they don't have a website to order from. Just their facebook page

When I went to the kpop store like 2 weeks ago. I did see them

Would check their facebook page. They update it often with new merch, news etc

Yeah, probably on break as Karina said because they open at 11AM and close at 7PM supposedly if they didn't change it from last time which was 5PM because of the quarantine. Other stores around that area also sell K-Pop stuff but mostly BTS and Blackpink to catch fans' attention though they do have other things you just have to look around. The K-Pop store also doesn't have EVERYTHING official and in general everything is overpriced. You can also try the store "Too Cool" that may be in a local mall but for sure I know it is at Fox Valley mall. They have overpriced things as well but some of it I would just buy because it is cheap -- like the sticker packs and just one clear photo card. You can also shop Hot Topic for BT21 merch. If you are looking to buy BTS albums do not buy at the kpop store. At Target or Walmart it is around $25 and at the kpop store it is around $40.

No they don't have them there.

They're up to date on all albums last I checked (7/5). You can also check on their facebook page to see what albums are in stock!

They have all of them :]

I was just there yesterday and saw most new releases from new groups and they definitely have a vast selection of older groups. Infinite, Bigbang etc. Ateez is available as well.

Yes.

Blackpink yes but no bts ones...i was there 2 weeks ago...you can call and ask though to make sure

As of right now, they are closed. Chicago is still on lockdown. Maybe order it online for now. I'm so sorry. Stay safe! 💜💜💜💜

Not sure on album specifics seeing as they have an ok, but very decent, selection of albums. I would say call and ask before going if that is all you are interested in but nobody has been able to pinpoint an actual number for them that I am aware of.

I don't know. I just went to shop with my daughters. They did seem to stay up to date and worth the trip.

They dont have one listed when you look them up so I am unsure.

No

Light sticks there I have seen marked up at least $20 more than what you would pay to order them through the official sites or to buy them at the venue during concerts.

Nope but you can try kpoptown.com!!

I've seen some from 20-25 for the cheapest

Yes they do.

They did in November so I would say yes

Some t shirts and sweatshirts they have made themselves. No official apparel.

Yep! They have a selection of jewelry

I did not see the army bomb. Sorry

Yes they do

I believe they do

It's been a while since I've been there, but I'm pretty certain I've seen them there every time I've gone.

I've seen cbx albums in there. I'm pretty sure they would carry them.

Not like the official ones from the concerts? But they do have them.

Unsure on how much but i don't believe its official bt21 (don't know if that matters to you). Majority of their sweatshirts are between 39.99 and 59.99 depending on style, band etc. Idk if that was much help

They have A little of everything! 👍👍

Take the time to walk around & visit the souvenir stores, u'll find what u want! 👍👌

Yes.

Don't know! I've never purchased that product! 🤔🤔 But, Chinatown n Chicago, they most likely have what u need! 👍👍 A Gr8 place 2 get jewelry, souvenirs & Gr8 Food! 👍👍

Yes they do have their version 3 light stick. Maybe you should wait to see if version 4 is coming out. Follow BigHit... they release some news about their light stick a week ago.

Im not quite sure , you can try.

Yes they do albums price range is $30 to 100

Everything is 10 and up. T-shirts sre $15 albums are 30 to 100 bucks

They have the lightsticks or at least they did when I was there a few months ago , you'd have to call about the other.

Your best bet is to call them

Like for a persona album it's like 30-40$ for 1 while u can go to Target or Walmart and it will be half the price. Take my advice and just don't get an album there bc it's to expensive and just get the same kind on ebay.

They do not

Yes

Beats me

I didn't specifically look, but they have a lot of BTS items there! I think they do

I didnt see them

Yes

They do, the albums are near the BTS albums which are behind the cashier.

Yeet

Yes

No

I don't know. Sorry

They have a lot of great stuff!0 Even Kdrama Dvd's! But I would order the lightstick through Amazon

Yes

Not sure sorry, better to call the store directly

I don't think so

Maybe

I would say go to the store and ask but they usually do have

Yes they do and ask

They dont have it

Yeah all the bts stuff is in the back so yeah

I went there a few weeks ago, but I didnt see any official merch

Yes, we where there earlier today

Yes

Yes they do

They have loads. Stickers, pillows, magnets, bracelets. Note pads, cups, banners, posters, photo cards, and tons tons more

It varies. You need to call.

They didn't have it their when I went. But I price vendors at soldier field where selling them for where $55.00

I don't think they sell them there. They are selling them at the venue.

No they don't

When I was at the store they didn't have the bts army bombs

My was like $29.99

They don't have them

Not official bt21 merch

They sure do.

yeah, there's plenty of poster to choose from

Yes they do have bts albums but it is better for you to get them at target if they are recent or online. It is less costly and If you buy from here you are probably expected to pay twice the price.

No there aren't long line

Ask. I think they do have it

I was looking for one but I think they should have it

Yes, they have it. Did you see them at Allstate???

Yes they do and idk

No they don't

You'll probably have to go to the official site for the group to buy one, either that or they might be selling them with the tickets...

Sorry they didn't when I was there

They do have bts hoodies - tees- bomber jackets and more and they will generally cost from $30 - $80 or more maybe. I am sorry as I do not know the exact pricing.

They do not sell army bombs. If they did it will be priced way higher than the amount you can pay in the concert merch.

They don't have any army bombs,but if you are an armyblink or an armyonce, they have their lightsticks!

Yes.

Yes they do. I am not sure of the price but it is better if you have the price range of $30 - $90. (Included bomber jackets and more).

No they do not have it. They will never have an army bomb. They do have other lightsticks.

They do.

If you are talking about army bombs, no they only have other group lightsticks sadly ;-;

You can buy it in a target they are cheaper there. But I think here you can expect it to be around $40.

I wasn't looking for Black Pink when i was there but since BP is coming to town soon, i can almost guarantee they'll have merch there

They do.

They might sell albums.

No they are not selling bts light stick.

Oh okay thanks

No

I don't think so. Call first.

The last time I went there. They didn't have any. But right now I don't know for sure

They have bts merch for every member but they do not have army bomb.

No.

You can check the kpoptown facebook page. They usually post what they have currently and I think they answer questions too!

I honestly don't know. They have a Facebook page, so you can try going through their photos or just message them. Kpop of Chinatown is their page name.

They do not have a lot of merch just albums and official things.

You should ask it on their Facebook page.

They are probably over $80 but just know that they are not selling BTS lightsticks.

They do. I am not sure if they have plushies. But you can also check AJ housewares, they have bts merch too.

I wish

You can buy at the concert itself or online.

I am pretty sure they do. But you should ask them on facebook. The answer back really quickly.

I think they do

They do.

I did not go out but they did not have the ver.2 but I'm not sure

Yes, they do

When the army bombs get shipped in, they get sold out very quickly. I've never seen them there. Skool luv affair will probably be around $24 or so!

They dont have any Army Bombs at the moment

Got a Jungkook mask for $9.99.

They sell jackets but not phone cases

BT21 sweaters, stuffed animals, calendars, member photo cards, socks, posters, etc. Most of the store is full of BTS products, but they are not official products. In my opinion, it is a bit expensive for the products it sells because it is not official.

I dont remember much but its about 6 to 10 i dont remember i think that was it?

Yes. They take cash or credit cards.

roughly around $70. buy it at your own risk, im not sure if theyre official or not

i saw twice's lightstick! but im not sure about exo's or svt's

Yes they do if it is still in stock. I don't remember exactly what though.

Yes

They do have momoland merch but I don't remember how much is it it is about 10 or more

they go for around 20-40$ depending on the design and fabric

Probably. They have a really good selection.

Not sure, but they have a lot of merchandise of Bts, and velvet.

Yes, they do have army bombs. Just ask the cashier when you're about to pay. These army bombs are the official lightsticks so they will cost around $70

It's definitely marked up higher in the store more so than it would be at the Bighit website since its third party. I'm not sure on the specific price.

yea they do

Depends on definition of cheap. You can buy a pack of various groups, sticks for around 5 dollars and some socks for around 4 dollars.

No they don't have the light stick only the albums and posters and other stuff but not the light stick sorry

Yes they do and I think over 50 dlls not sure

Yes, they all do no matter where you buy them.

Yes

When i was there at the end of october, they had just a couple of mamamoo things. There was at least a bank and some stickers. I dont know about t-ara

I saw some stickers and some older posters, too. Be sure to check the coffee cups and piggy banks, there are LOTS of variety from past photos mixed in there and I'm pretty sure I saw some Twice on my last trip. Its fun to see merch from years ago, since the girls have changed sooo much it gives you a bit of nostalgia.

They have a sign up that they're out of BTS lightsticks and dont know when they will be back in stock

Absolutely

Yes, they are.

they dont ship

last time i was there in december, they had love yourself albums but theyre expensive so i recommend going to target instead if theyre available. its cheaper in target. not sure about got7

Yes

Its an enjoyable experience. The CD's are cheaper on Amazon, but they have good quality and a good variety. The concerts are way way WAY more expensive. Bts bomb at concert $60. Exo bomb at store $30.

No they dont sell k-beauty

No

last time i was there, they didnt. but it would probably cost roughly around $70. buy it at your own risk since im not sure if theyre official

No they dont. They have other kpop groups though. If they do have a BTS Army Bomb, its not official. (They have a sign to let you know) hope this help 😉

last time i was there, they didnt. but itll prob cost you roughly around $70. buy it at your own risk tho since im not sure if theyre official

Bts? yes lots. Got 7? Yes. Not sure about nct tho

Yes around 30 40

Nope.

No they don't

Yes

they dont

Yes

No, they don't.

No, they only have them for 17.

No they dont sell pop sockets ur best bet might be online

The albums are $$$, but everything else does seem fair. Just a heads up- most of the stuff here isnt official merch

they do! but its extremely expensive. i recommend going to target instead if theyre available, you pay half the price in there

No they dont at the moment. But i once went and there was, but they were unofficial

We found paid parking just a block or 2 away. No need to stress

Yeah they do they have pens

They don't have BTS lightsticks yet.

It's better to ask this question on their Facebook page- Kpop of Chinatown

They have little drawstring bags, but not for BTS

Jackets are between $30-$40. Cards are between $8-$10. Posters are between $7-$20

Yes, they do.

They do sell Twice light sticks but they are off brand. They do also sell albums but not pre-ordering cards.

My husband and i brought our bi-racial daughters there a few weeks ago and felt very welcomed. My girls absolutely loved the store. It was very busy becauae it was the Saturday after the MonstaX concert but we had no issue.

As of right now, they do.

They don't sell ARMY bombs. They sell TWICE, GOT7, SHINEE, and other light sticks.

They don't have BTS ones. There is a sign there explaining why.

I believe I saw one when I went there but all of their lightsticks are not the real ones.

No

They have some

They have several Seventeen albums. Didn't see light sticks but I would call and ask.

Us dollars

Not super cheap but not super high. I think I got a poster for like 6 dollars and some photo stands for 2 and a few other stuff

They have albums and stickers but nothing too major

US cash and credit cards were the only signs I saw at the store.

Yes

It has their CDs

I didnt see any bts bombs when I want but text incase again

Yes they do.

Yes I love that store it's so worth taking a visit

Not as of 6/23

i saw a wanna one pillow last time i went! and it was around 4 weeks ago

I highly doubt it

last time i was there, army bombs werent available but i heard theyre sold around $70. buy it at your own risk since im not sure if theyre official or not i recommend going to target instead if you wanna buy the love yourself series! its a lot cheaper in target and you pay almost half the price in target than the kpop store

Yes

It opens at 12 and it depends on the day too

You'd have to call or go back to the store. Store owner doesn't actually respond here

I also saw BTS ones too

Calling the store would be best. I don't think the owners read this section since it's for customers to give tips to other new customers

I will have to get it from the store

Yes the whole store is basically bts HQ. From lightsticks to albums to photocards to wearables

Yes

Yeah, i believe so. Don't trust me ENTIRELY, but I believe I saw some

You can also call the store just in case

7 pm

About $5 +. Nothing is really cheap here in my opinion. I bought Sik-k's BoyCold album from here and it cost me $35. I also bought a pack of 2 small posters and they cost $7. I hope this helps to give you more of an idea of the price range.

Yes they do

All kinds. Like magnets.

What i know is that they for sure have the album's and posters but if you were looking for something specific then you should call and ask

Yes for nct call to check if they have pentagon

Also check their Facebook page! They post merch updates there and are quick to respond to questions.

Yes

They should be. I would call just to be sure

Yes they sell both

No only with names

Yes and they are around $30+

Yes they do

Last few times I went there didnt see a light stick which is sold out in bts offical shop too but maybe it was just sold out

Idk just call.

They're all roughly $70

Its pretty good. Its mostly an independent shopping experience. But should you need help the staff is helpful and knowledgeable.

Yes

No they don't, everything but albums and lightsticks are unofficial

Yes they should

They accept credit cards but I believe you have to spend at least $25

They usually have the monsta X lightstick and bts always. If they don't have any monsta x right now they will have a bunch closer to the concert date.

They are about $70 but its only version 1 the black one. They don't have the white at all. On Amazon its gonna be about 90. But theres a site called mandu apparel and they have it for $50 on per order.

they have tons of bts stuff
