[Hipple Hot Item] How to Enjoy 'The Hyundai Disney Store' 100%

The Second Disney Store in Korea at The Hyundai Seoul
Official Products and Photo Zones Including the 100th Anniversary Collection

On the last day of the Chuseok holiday and National Foundation Day, the afternoon of the 3rd at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. One side of the 5th floor, where the indoor park 'Sounds Forest' is located, was unusually crowded with family visitors. It was the 'The Hyundai Seoul Disney Store' that opened last month. Visitors were enjoying their time taking commemorative photos with the large Mickey and Minnie Mouse sculptures lined up at the entrance of the Disney Store. This is the second Disney Store to open in Korea, following the Hyundai Department Store Pangyo branch in July.

Inside the store, visitors were bustling, but since the 'Disney Pop-up Store' featuring a giant Mickey sculpture at Sounds Forest had ended, visitors could enter the store without waiting as of the afternoon on the last day of the holiday.

The store is quite spacious at 222㎡ (about 67 pyeong). At the entrance, Disney animation character figures and dolls were displayed, and in the center, Mickey and Minnie dolls of various sizes and types were stacked, stimulating the desire to purchase. There were a total of about 1,000 types of figures, dolls, and lifestyle products featuring not only Disney characters but also characters from Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and more.

The biggest feature was that you could purchase official Disney Store products, including the Disney 100th Anniversary Collection. Official products are marked with a gray large label, making it easy to distinguish them from licensed products. If you ask the staff, who are helping explain products throughout the store, they will provide detailed information not only about whether the product is official but also about its features and how to play with it.

This place was popular not only with children but also with kidults who love Disney. However, there was some disappointment among Disney enthusiasts due to the limited range of official products such as badges that they had expected.

Photo zones were set up throughout the store where visitors could take pictures with characters from Toy Story, Inside Out, and others, making it a great place for families with children, friends, or couples to visit and buy small gifts. Additional stores will open this month at Cheonho branch and Hyundai Premium Outlet Gimpo branch, so you can visit a nearby location. However, the price for medium-sized Mickey and Minnie dolls is about 39,000 won, and official product prices tend to be relatively high, so visitors should keep this in mind when visiting.
