If youโ€™ve been blasting JENNIEโ€™s 1st Studio Album Ruby on repeat for the past year, prepare your wallets and clear your schedules. To celebrate the 1st anniversary of the album, JENNIE is taking over The Hyundai Seoul with the exclusive <A YEAR IN RUBY> Pop-Up Store! Whether you're an international student, an expat, or just a die-hard fan visiting Korea, you cannot miss this. Here is everything you need to know, from what to expect to how to actually get inside without losing your mind. Letโ€™s dive in!


๐Ÿ’ What is the <A YEAR IN RUBY> Pop-Up?

To mark the 1-year milestone of her iconic Ruby era, OA Entertainment has curated a space that highlights key moments from Jennieโ€™s past year. Itโ€™s not just a merch shop, itโ€™s a full-on exhibition for the fans.

Here is what you can expect inside:

  • Unreleased Content: Never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the Ruby era.
  • Iconic Props: Actual outfits and props Jennie used in her music videos and promotional shoots.
  • Official Merchandise: A chance to grab exclusive 1st-anniversary merch (which will sell out fast) alongside some of the best releases from the past year.
  • ๐Ÿ“ Event Details:

  • Dates: March 5 (Thu) โ€“ March 11 (Wed), 2026
  • Venue: THE HYUNDAI SEOUL B2 POP-UP @ ICONIC (Yeouido)
  • Operating Hours: * Mon โ€“ Thu: 10:30 AM โ€“ 8:00 PM

  • ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ How to Get In (Reservation Guide)

    Getting into a K-pop pop-up at The Hyundai Seoul is basically the Hunger Games. There are two ways to enter:

    1. Pre-Reservation (Naver Booking)

    Online reservations officially opened on February 26 at 8:00 PM (KST) via Naver.

  • Reality Check: If you are reading this now, the online slots are probably fully booked. Naver ticketing for Jennie sells out in milliseconds. But keep checking the link for canceled tickets, sometimes you get lucky!

  • 2. On-Site Waiting (ํ˜„์žฅ ๋Œ€๊ธฐ)

    If you failed the Naver bloodbath, don't panic. You can still enter via On-Site Registration.

  • You will need to physically go to the pop-up entrance at B2, scan a QR code or enter your Korean phone number into the tablet provided by the staff, and wait for your turn via a KakaoTalk notification.

  • ๐Ÿ’ก Pro-Tips for Surviving The Hyundai Pop-Up

    As a 10-year Seoulite, here are my insider tips to make sure you get in and get your merch:

  • Do the "Open Run": The mall opens at 10:30 AM, but the lines start forming way before that. To get an early on-site waiting number, arrive at the B2 subway connection entrance (Yeouido Station, Line 5 & 9) by 9:00 AM.
  • Have a Korean Phone Number: The on-site waiting system usually requires a Korean phone number to send you a KakaoTalk alert. If you are a tourist without one, find a staff member immediatelyโ€”they usually have a separate manual line or email system for foreigners.
  • Prioritize Your Merch: Stock is limited daily. If there is a specific photocard or hoodie you want, you must go on the first few days of the pop-up (March 5 or 6). By the weekend, the most popular items might be gone.

  • ๐Ÿ  Staying in Seoul for the K-Pop Events?

    If you are planning to do an "Open Run" at The Hyundai Seoul, the last thing you want is a 2-hour subway commute at 7 AM.
