ARMY Spends the Day at the BTS MOA Pop-Up
The BTS MOA pop-up is in full swing, and we did not miss the opportunity to check it out. So what can you spot there? Come fangirl (and fanboy) with us!
What is the pop-up about?
“BTS POP-UP: SPACE OF BTS IN METRO MANILA” is the latest iteration of the KPop supergroup’s limited edition stores across the world. This is the second to be held at the SM Mall of Asia this year, following the success of “BTS POP-UP: MONOCHROME” last May.
Much like its predecessor, this pop-up encapsulates BTS’ legacy throughout their decade-long career, from their debut up to their solo releases. However, what sets this version apart from the others is their collaboration with local brands. This synergy highlights not only the impact the group has on Pinoy ARMYs but also puts Filipino talent and creativity front and center.
What is inside?
Here, you will find merchandise from the septet’s various comebacks and solo rollouts. Not only that, you will also spot items from special photoshoots, such as their 2022 DALMAJUNG, and even plushies from character releases, such as BT21, TinyTAN, and Jin’s Wootteo.
Another highlight from the pop-up is the interior itself. The walls are chock full of BTS-themed decorations, there is a photobooth you and your friends can use for P300, and you can write your feelings out at the Freedom Wall!
Pinoy pride items
As previously mentioned, the BTS MOA pop-up integrates items in collaboration with Filipino brands and designers. There is the Sunnies Flask in 3 colors: Purple, Gray, and the store-exclusive Chrome. Each flask comes with the group’s logo engraved on the body, and when you purchase them, you get a free photocard holder and sticker set!
And then there are clothing and accessories from Randolf Clothing and Rags2Riches, respectively. The former houses a modern, handmade barong with the members’ drawings embroidered onto it, while the latter sports a collection of microbags and charms handcrafted by local artists.

The BTS MOA pop-up is more than just a store; it is a celebration of BTS’ music, artistry, and connection with Pinoy ARMYs. From exclusive merchandise to a showcase of local talent, this pop-up truly embodies the essence of the supergroup’s global influence right in the heart of Metro Manila.
“BTS POP-UP: SPACE OF BTS IN METRO MANILA” runs until December 31, 2024, at the 3F, North Wing, SM Mall of Asia.
